Postmaster General Wanamaker was in
the smash-up on the Reading railroad at Ia
Dor station last Monday morning, in which
dozen or more passengers were slightly
injured. He was not hurt, however He
was pretty severely shaken up, but he mau-
aged to get out of the wreck in time TO
catch a train that was bound for the ma
tional capital. He is too much OF trav-
eler to be unnerved by railroad accident
in which nobody is killed.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says there
were only seventeen deaths from typhoid
fever in that city last week, and assumes
that the number was so small because the
Schuykill river water was SO largely adul-
terated with rain water that it had lost
some of its power to kill.

The impression in Washington seems
to be that the appointment of Eugene
A. Webster to be collector of internal
revenue of South Carolina was sort of
an announcement that the administration
does not believe that there is any
Independent Republican party in that
state. Some over-zealous Massachusetts,
republicans sent l.. Edwin Dudley to South
Carolina few weeks ago to report whether
there was such an organic ,tiol there, and
he gave the Massachusetts, republicans t ,
understand that it was about the only re-
publican organization there was in the state.
Probably the p. esident would have had
more confidence in Mr.. Dudley's report if
Mr.. Dudley parted his name differently.

The Increase of the Blacks.

Dr. Billings, the well-known phys clan OF
Washington, d. c., who is to have charge
of the mortality statistics of the next
that the blacks arc relatively in
creasing faster than the whites is mis-
take. He does not bo.ieve they are increas
ing so fast, and he bases his opinion upon
the birth and death st .tlstlcs of those cities
in which such statistics ale kept.
He says that in Washington the death
rate of the blacks is double that of the
whites, alt Ough that city is called the para
disc Of the blacks The blacks certainly
live there under much more favorable CO .-
dltlons than else where in this country. They
have, as rule, good homes and all the con
forts Of life. Very few of them are ex-
tremely poor, or have to endure great
hardships. In all the southern cities the
death rate of the blacks is double that of
the whites, and in some cities more than
double.
The birth rate of the blacks is difficult 60
obtain because physicians are not generally
employed by them. In Was ington it is a
little larger than that of the whites. and
perhaps the same is true in other cities of
the country. Their greater birth rate,
however, does not compensate for their
extraordinarily large death rate. Their
increase, therefore, Is not as great as that f
the whites. DR.. Bill Igs says that 1.-THE next
| census will show that in the whole country
the Importance Of the negro as a factor in
our population is on the decrease" This
showing will not be at all pleasing to those
writers who, basing their conc tusions upon
comparisons dra Nn from the census of 1870
and that of 1881, have been picturing "a
black population that would soon be over
whelmingy in the maj )rity in the south.

The people of the state are watching Rep
resentative Snelson of MerIwether. The
members of the legislature may be tired of
hearing his speech against general grant
ing of leaves of absence on Saturdays, but
the taxpayers are not. A great many of
the members go home on Friday night of
each week and don't get back in time to do
anything on the following Monday, thus
causing two legislative days to be lost out
of every seven. Let Mr.. Snelson go on re-
peating his speech. He is on the right

The STRANGE animus of the late ukase OF tn a

been learned from an intimate of the aou,t
