The Center of Population.

In 1870 the center OF population was twenty
two miles west OF Baltimore; since that time it
has moved westward at an average rate of about
ffty-one miles in each decade, never deviating
a degree north or south of the thirty ninth
parallel. The greatest progress was between
1850 and 1860. when IL travelled eighty-one miles,
from point In Virginia to twenty miles south

The Chicago Inter Ocean has published table
which assumes to show the amount of property
owned by negroes in each state of the Union,
which gives an aggregate of Sos, DOL 900, the
larger portion Of which is held in the Southern
states. This is being paraded In certain quar-
tors as evidence that the negroes are well
treated In that section and as proof that there
is no need of federal election law. But 1t is
manifest that the whole calculation must be
largely conjecturaL Certainly the assessment
rolls do not designate portion of the taxpay-
ers as white and another portion as colored, and
there is no other source from which reliable in.
formation can be obtained. But II the figures
are correct they convey no intimation why the
negroes should loss any of that property be-
cause they are to be guaranteed their constitu-
tional right to vote.
