Statistics Of the Negro Race.

Hon, Carroll ID. Wright, United
States Commissioner Ot Labor and
Industrial Statistics, has sent to
the Senate Committee on the Cen
sus paper giving suggestions as
TO matters in his department in
which special information is de-
sired. One Of his suggestions is
as follows:
Comprehensive information re-
lating to the negro race is ubso-
lulely demanded by the present
condition of affairs. There is no
difficult Y in ascertainlng The statis-
ties relating TO mulaitoes, quad
rooms and octoroons which are OBJ
tanned for all other classes of pop-
ulalion. The schedule used In pre-.
vious censuses calls for the number
of each race, but so far as negroes
are concerned it is limited to
black, white and mulaltoes. To
secure the information relative 10
qUa1roOns and octoroons would
simply require another check mark
Oh the schedule, and this iniurma-
tion would not result in any appre-
ciable increase in the expense of
the census. These remarks apply
equally as well 10 the half-breeds
OF different races should it be de-
sired 10 secure the number of such.
The very greatest care should be
exercised in The eleventh census to
secure accurate informatiOn-as
full as possible with the limlta-
tons OF an enumeratiOn-regard.
ing The ne9so race. So many ques-
tions are arising that can only be
answered by statistical informa-
ton that this becomes a necessity.
Whether the mulattoes, quadroons
and Octoroons are disappearing and
The race becoming more purely
negro, Is question which cannot
be settled by observation. Ii must
be settled by statistics, and The
sooner such statistics are collected
the better.
The census of 1890 can be the
starting point for series of COM
parisons through subsequent de-
cades. The ordinary statistics of
the census will show, of course,
whether the negroes are concen-
trating in certain localities or NOT,
but in all these matters there needs
to be no specific legislation, as the
securing OF information is simply
a matter of administration, and no
superintendent who has the best
inl erestS OF his country at heart
would neglect to provide the pro,
per means for securing information,
upon such points. The census al
really secures he statistics OF births.
and deaths for the census year, and
the death rate and birth rate among.
pure whltes,among negroes, and all
the segregalIOns can be aScertained
through the processes of tabula.
ton.
The matters referred to are of
great Importance, and since the
facts embraced iE them II ust long
10 exert a marked Influ-
ence upon the social, political and
industrial life of the nation, it is,
most desirable TO have accurate
information, such as statistics for a.
Of periods alone can
give, and they are only to be Sc
,ured in the taking of the census.
Mr.. Wright's suggestion seems
proper and valuable.

DO YOU RE.uENBERP
ny CORA FABBRI.

Do you remember days of long agOG
gray,
When day.
Faint with her OWE sweet loyeliness would
lie,
Drovsy within the outstrctched arms OF
night.
A bright star tangled in her golden hair,
A late birds singing fuinting on the air.
A sweet, scent-burdened night breeze
floatrng by.
Do you remember?
And you and in shadowed, misty paths,
Would linger slowly mid the bending
trees,
The breeze
Soft whsprings in our ears and passing
fleet
You in your pure, white gown; within
your hand
Some tlagale drw-wet violets, for twas
May.
The month of Love, and in the cleaning
gray
We talked of Love and said that life was
sweet.
Do you rememberf
Then sometimes, when the night had old
er grown,
And all the sky was quiv'ring with the
CLEAN
And beam
OF silve-rayed stars, we two would sit
Within the quiet room loved SO well,
A scent of honeysnckle comingsthro'
The window, and glimpse of starlit blue
Unveiled before our eyes, most exquisite,
Do you remembers
Then you wonld often in the solemn hush,
With but the CLEAN of moonlight like a
veil,
Most pale,
Yet sIlv'ry, falling over everything.
Then you would play some low, soft har-
mony,
Beethoven's tender Moonlight melody,
Like stirring of some harp's most mellow
string.
Do you remember'
Do yOu remember, you who sit at rest
Your blue-eyed babies nesting at your
feet
Their sweet.
Warm, loving kisses fresh upon your
cheeks.
Your wel-beloved's hand within your
hand
Perhaps same time before the fires glow,
When thinking on the days of long ago.

But not as | remember; | who mourn

Of the assembled multitude. After

that the prayers Of the con-

They Will Have n Boom.

cold Superior" said a gentleman
yesterday, lis going to have a boom,
/ am told. After being dead as julius
Caesar for many years, Stinson, Barden
and syndicate of Eastern capitalists
have taken hold of the old town and
are going to effect all kinds of i'm
rrovements, build houses, clean out
the Nemadji river and Bluff creek,
and improve the harbor and build UP
powerful rival to Duluth. This is a
fact, and the property owners are to
pool their property; titles are to be
overhauled and made good and in
srTed, and big time is expected"
This "old" Superior fronts on the
Bay of Alloues next to Superior City,
and it reached its greatest distinction
III 1887, when lots sold there at fiabul-
Gus prices, and people fairly grabbed
for them so great was tie rush. But
the boom expired. Many St. Paul
people lost money there. People who
paid 1000 to So, 900 for lots, sold them
atterWard for $50. 1t was a regular
crash. The prospect of boom of any
KIND there Will be gratifying to parties
who have old stakes there.-Pioneer

How TO Get Things.

There is an old axiom to the effect
that a thing which is not worth
paying for is not worth having.
This will apply 10 the town seeking to
locate industries or institutions with
in its borders, as well as to the individ-
ual procuring a hat or a pair of pants,
and, as rule, the higher the price,
the better or more desirable the com
modify discussed. AS sample of this
let us quote the following dispatch to
the Pioneer Press, dated at La. Crosse
on the 18th inst, towit;
The Norwegian Lutheran college
locating committee has come to con-
cluSion in favor of st. Paul Park The
offer includes thirty acres of land for
the site, and S25,0 900, together with 100
acres of land in different parts of the
city guaranteed to yield so, 900 within
five years.
Here we see a city the size of st.
Paul, giving 100000 for just one in
stitution of learning, while Superior,
which has nothing to lose, but all,
everything to gain, has been discussing
the question of giving a few acres of
swampland to secure one of the biggest
saw mill and lumber plants in the
country. The question is hardly a
debateable one, and We feel safe in
saying that the new Land Company
now organizing in our city will make
short work of this mill problem, and
that before another issue of the TIMES
the mill company viii have all they
desire and be ready to begin active
building operations. Towns, like in
dividuals, must purchase some things
if they would grow and prosper.

OUR FUTURE.

is the most wonderful place in the
world. 1t has an area of one square
mile, and its rentals foot up $4,000, 900
per annum, and pays one-seventh of
the expenses of the whole city, which
has an area of l20 square miles Land
has been sold in the city for c6;o per

STILL ADVANCING.

A West End correspondent to the
Pioneer Press says of our city and the
prospects opened to view:
The granting of the street railway
charter by the city council has revived
speculative interest in real estate OH
certain streets that have lain dormant
for some time. The necessity imposed
for extending the line from Third
street along Tower to Twenty-first
street this fall, has lifted values mat
erially in Merriam Park and in the
Eighth division, where upward of fifty
first class tenements haye been erected
this spring This line is also to be
built from Tower, on Belknap to the
court house at the East End. This has
stiffened values on Belknap and in
Middletown. In fact, the assurance
that the street railway will have four
miles Of track down and III operation
this fall, has materially mended the
general real estate situation.
Master Mechanic Street of, the West
Superior Iron and Steel company, is
expected here to-day. The machinery
and equipments for the pipe foundry,
which have been in the hands of the
machinists of Scranton and Pittsburg
for six months past, are now being
shipped, and will commence to arrive
in about ten days. 1t will then take
about sixty days to get the material in
shape for operation, much of the
machinery being of massive charac
ter W hen the foundry once begins
operations some people will hear some
thing drop.
The waterways convention promises
to be the most important affair of the
kind ever held in the West. The YES
sci interests will be represented by the
most progressive deep water interests,
and the Northwest will be represented
by upwards of two hundred repreSen-
tatives of commercial bodies and mu-
inequalities. The Northwesterners are
widely awakening to the fact that
deep-water transportation means
broader markets and cheaper rates,
but especially that cheaper transporta-
ton rates are necessary to enable them
to retain their present European mar
kets Ten million dollars year can
be economically expended by the gov
eminent in a general betterment of
the lake waterways.

A. n. Battye, engineer Of the steam

vessel stopped. Battye sunk deeply
when reaching the water. but on ris-

way on the steamer had carried her
far beyond him. and though the boat
was lowered the prospect of finding
him in such weather and at night was
almost hopeless. Battye soon ceased
to see the ship. and when daylight
broke he found himself alone on the

Our Republican friends stated very
confidently early in the Summer that
coinage at the Carson Mint would be
opened up on tho first day of July;
but as that date approached we we're
told that Superintendent Wright re-
4uired little time to arrange mat
ters, and hence coinage would not
commence until the tirat o. August
at which time tn, machinery would
start up without fail. Well, the first
Of August came and went and still no
coins foil from Tile dies OF the Carson
Mint.
Owing osome unavoidable G? hitch
in the arrangements the time of start
ing the coming machinery was again
postponed to the firS, Of September
when the employees wo:e notified TO
report for duty. But tho first Of Sep
tember has gon, AMI til, no coming
has been done at Carson. W. wou. d

that the reason tho Mint has not
started up is that tho infamous Dom
