cessful. rs. M. MERRILL
The letter of Bishop Merrill, SO far as it re-
lates to the political phase of the question, is
in complete harmony with the attitude as
sumed by the Republican party of Indiana in
the convention of 1882, and which was then
and is now the position heartily and sincerely
main tanned by the indianapolis Journal.

A NOMINATION for alderman or councilman
will not necessarily mean election, whether
Republican Or Democrat. Every sort of a

should be especially careful in their selection

nominate only that kind.

who in ordinary times are glad of So day. and
who charge from 81 to S. per hundred feet for

who lives in house from which the tin shed has
been removed is not in condition to stand on

The Increase In Negroes.

In Chattanooga the negro death
rate is more than double that OF the
whites, and the same is true Of Mem,
phis; and yet the census shows that
Inc negroes are increasing more rap
idly than the whites. The cXplnna,
ton of this is in the difference be,
tween the birth, rates Of the two
races. A given number OF whites
have six children born TO them in the
year. of whom two die before reach,
ing the age OF sclfsupport. The
same number of negroes, it is SAID
will have ten children born in n year,
and lose five before the age OF self
support. The negroes thus lose two
and.a half times as many children as
the whites, and yet gain upon them
in the census figures.
