BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss, May Ill was
speaking in my last letter Of the negro
problem in the South as one OF the vexed
problems with which this section 10 called
to deal. 1t isa far greater and more
serious problem than most persons are
aware Of. Ihaye reflected upon It and in
quired about it good deal, and am free
to confess myself at loss as to any salts.
factory conclusion.
According to the last census, the negro
population Of the country Is largely on the
increase-decidedly more 80 than the
white race-strange. as the fact may be,
and contrary though It Is 10 many prophe.
cies made Immediately after the war. The
figures of 1880 show that in 10 years 1t in.
creased IS per cent as against 20! per cent
on the part OF the white race. In other
words, the blacks OF the United States in.
creased from 4,SS0, 900 in 1870, to $3.50, ,793
In 1880, whereas the Shite race in.
creased only from SO 5s9.S77 10 43,402, $40.
This, too, Notwithstanding the latter receiv.
ed reinforcement OF over 100000 from
immigration while the former depended
wholly on their native increase. This ratio
OF the races certainly presents food for re-
Election.
INCORRECT CENSUS FIGURES.
Taken in connection with the generally
understood excessive mortality OF the
blacks, especially in cities and towns, where
they are so apt to-congregate, and the in.
crease seems indeed to be passing strange.
So strange does it seem to very many in.
telligent people down here that they do
not hesitate to arraign the census Of 1880
as ncorrect-even grossly so. They point
10 the fact that the census OF 1870 showed
less than 10 per cent Of increase, and claim
that 10 per cent is much more in accord
with the facts OF their observation than 35
per cent. They also point to the fact that
In the most prosperous decades OF the
South, when cotton was reputed and be-
lieyed to be not only king but mine OF
illimitable wealth, and when on that &C.
count negroes were very valuable, and
when 1t was the interest OF every owner to
breed them as fast as nature would permit
and conserve their lives as watchiully as
medical science was able, that even then,
under the most favorable circumstances, the
increase never reached IS per cent. For in.
stance, between 1850 and 1860 the increase
was only % per cent, and between 1910
and 1850 only 20 per cent How then, they
ask, could 1t be 35 per cent when so
many retarding influences were dead set
against such rate Of increase. Going back
even as far as the beginning ofthe century,
when the negro population constituted one.
fifth OF the whole population OF the country,
we come down to 1880 when tits only one.
seventh, which shows that it has not held
its own in the race with the whites. This
fact, 1t Is claimed, shows that they have not
suddenly shot ahead at the rate Of IS to 20!

their good looks, and are anxious that
the girls should be aware of it also.
