FOOLISH FBARs.-Mr. STEIN, OF the Geo.
logical Survey, leetured in Washington city
on Monday night, snd repeated the silly story
that there is danger OF the Attenuation oil
this country. The number OF negroes in
the United States in 1890 was 1925; IN
1880 was 6,5S0,793. The number OF whites
in 1890 was S,172,OO6; in 1880 was 43,402,'
go. The whites are fourteen times as nu'
merous now as in 1890. The negroes not
nine times. The negroes too were better
csred for 10y their masters and increased much
more rapidly as slaves than they will here
after.
Mr.. STEIN bases his foolish fears upon the
census OF 1870, which is almost worthless.
Tea censuses tell much more reliable story
than one census tells.
We do not forget that many whites have
immigrated TO this country. But the white
increase is so overwhelming as to dwarf
this element OF increase. by the way,
negroes were imported into this country
until 1903.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Captain J. T.. Fitz, for years one OF the
most Il liked to have said the most) popular
conductors on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway, after an absence OF several months,
resumed his duties IS conductor on the 10th
instant. The writer happened to be on the
train from Richmond that day, and
there was perfect ovation from
! the time the train LETT The sta
tion az Richmond. All classes and ages
seemed Overjoyed that their favorlte had
resumed his former position, and this feeling
was not only manifest among the local pa
| irons Of the road, but the through passen-
gers seemed sll to know him and met him
| with q glad smile and a hearty grip OF the
hand; and overheard q gentleman who
| boarded our train at the Richmond, Frede-
ricksburg and Potomac junction say be bad
"travelled nearly over the United states and
| Europe, and that Captain Fitz more nearly
| flied his idea Of model conductor than any
| he had seen"
The Chesapeake and Ohio has long been
| noted for its efficient, accommodating pas
| Gem err conductors, and it IL no small honor
| TO Captaiu FitZ to receive such homage on
| bis return, but IL Is all well deserved. The
management OF the rosd deserve snd will re-
| ceiye the hearty thanks OF theiravelling pub
| lie for their action, which restores TO them

"At such u juncture, when merely TO have

THE CAUSE OF POVERTY.
A. Allen Noe Gives His Version Of the Chief
Cause.

A. Allen Noe Gives His Version Of the CHIEF
Cause.
To ne Editor OF ne Register:
sIR:-In our article Of July 18th, on
Increase Of Crime" we stated that pow
erty was the chisf cause. In this article
we propose to give the chief Of pow
erty.
10 the former article poverty was made
the cause and crime the effect. In this
article poverty will be made the effect, and
We are now after the cause.
Poverty Is an unnatural, abnormal con-
dition. This world is large enough
for all to dwell upon. 1t will produce
enough for all the needs of mankind. All
should have wear enough and plenty 10
eat Nature has not been and Is not now
ungenerous IN bestOwing her bounues.
She has been lavish in all things needed
for our welfare and happiness. She Is no
respscter Of persons. All have equal rights
10 her bounties. The cause Of poverty
may be told in one short sentence. IL Is
this: We are hUiRg under false conditions.
We have q system fastened upon Us DJ
which few receive the lions share OF what
labor produces, which make the few still
richer and richer, ard the toilers poorer
ana poorer. All must readily admit
that mOnopolies, trusts and combines, are
controlling the country, and fast lsop-
ardiziug our rights and liberties, to such
an extent that our Republic is such only
in name. The people do not rule. Inc
Democracy Of Thomas Paine, Patrick
Henry. Jefferson aud jackson, The great
est good, to the greatest number, " Is beng
fast Loaf sight of. II is evident that some
thing must be done, aud that speedily, or
our boasted liberties will be a mere phan-
tom. and the blood Of our fathers will
have been shed in vain. To remedy the
increase of poverty and "Pauper labor
we must strike at the root OF the evil
Some action must be taken to prevent the
holding of large tracts OF land for speculs-
tive purposes. All wealth comes from OLD
mother earth. Land monopoly is the most
dangerous Of all monopolies. 1t Is the
source from which all other monopolies
spring. In order 10 bring about greater
equilibrium, to prevent the rapid rise OF
millionaires, and the consequent IN
crease Of poverty, the bur
den should be taken from the
toilers and put upon spectators and mon
opolies. Taxes should be taken from the
productions of labor and put upon the
end. Labor did not produce the earth.
None will dare deny but natures gifts
should be alike free TO an. Every person
should have the free use Of all the land,
water. air and sunshine he needs for his
welfare and happiness. These are natures
bounties, and TO mODOpOlize any of them
ia unjust, cruel and bsrbArous. We are
land animals and cannot live without the
land. Those who have not free access to
land can live only by the mercy OF Others.
If it were possible to monOPolize the air
and make the masses pay for breathing 1t,
we would lcok upon it with holy horror.
So far as principle is concerned, 1t would
be no more unjust than monOpOlizing the
land to the exclusion Of Others. Some Will
