\ Washh gton, November ss--The
death rate OF this city for the past year
was, for the whites, only iT.a7 per
WOO, and for the colored population

what law of natures God are these
good colorod people thus cxiermin-
ated aud how does It happen that
census returns make Il appear that
blacks In numbers outgrow whitcsr
Were these census tables cooked" In
the supposed interest OF the Repuhli-
osn party? They only augment
Southern representation In congress
without augmeutiug the numbers OF
republican congressman, aud II
"cooked'' the cook surely spoiled the
broth. The number OF Southern Re-
publican Nj. C.'s steadily grows less,
and the negro has almost vanished
from the house, having disappeared,
long ago, in the senate.
Perhaps II may be true that while
almost twice as many blacks IA whites,
IN proportion TO the whole number,
tile IN towns and cities, Il may still be-
true that, relatively, an equally great
pr portion OF blacks are born. but In
teiligent negroes have always Insisted
that fewer African births by half oc-
eur than when the maintenance OF
children, in old plantation life, cost
nothing. "Chilluns, y 10 use the very

RACE MOVEMENTS.
An intelligent Texan Republican.
an applicant for high office, advert,
ing Ia this subject said, this morning,
that in his state the negro population
was slowly but steadily grRvitating to-
wards Wharton aud adjacent Gulf
coast counties, and the whites are ns
rapidly migrating into Northern aud
Western districts of the state. The
tendency of diverse populations IN 20
segregation. Until this process
was arrested by disastrous floods

We're steadily aud rapidly taking pos
session of Mississippi, Natural rcpul-
zion, MS the races are estranged In
tieif relations 10 onc smother, moves
IA m in opposite directions, aud party
leader give prupulsiye force "a these
migrations. The negro jewellers In
each city take possession Of district
from which the whites are expelled by
their advent. There IL n drnscly pop
ulatcd distinct negro suburb Ia every
southern town and city Thus the
natural process OF separation pro-
crosses lis forces Will be
aggravated by those who lit
up the bloody shirt In
the ensuing presidential campaign,
and NJ Install these resistlrss native aud
partisan tendencies will develop them
selves In some great scheme OF ruce
migration and colonization. Fortu-

race and fortunate the Union and this
government II this contamination be
peacefully achieved.
CARLISLE AHEAD.
The united forces OF Carlisle aud
Cox are too potent Tor Randall. The
latter IL mon earnest and anxious. lIo
invOkes the Intervention of million
aires, miners, bankers and railway
lords. They are gathering here in great
numbers. They pretend 10 dread dig
turbance Of the tariff, insisting that
the business interests OF the country
will be fatally Injured by the elevation
Of Carlisle or Cox. And yet the senate
md the president are armed with the
veto power for the Iionce aud no
changes can be made by this congress
which they do not approve. But viii
capitalists and merchants and banks
all l.st a 70 I..ID
islation should regard first the for
tunes OF The people. They are
robbed and capitalists en-
riched by the tariff. 10 this the
government of the many or Of the
few2 Should congress leglslate for the
producer or for the consumer
But this inquiry does not arise.
They speak falsely who say that revc-
puc reform viii paralyze trade. No
radical reform II contemplated and
none Is possible which the senate or
president may deem detrimental 10
