The Race Problem and the Census

The Race Problem and the Census.
There are so many authenticated Instances
of inaccuracies in the present census in all
parts of the country that it is doubtful
whether it will be possible to determine
with any degree of certainty the relative
increase of the whites and blacks in the
south. The statement is made that
the rate of increase of the blacks has
fallen far behind the rate of increase of the
whites, fact which will 60 to disprove
many of the statements regarding the
fecundity of the colored race. This is Just
what the south wants to kuow-taat is
which race has increased the faster; but it
is feared that Mr. Porter's count will not
be reliable enough to base conclusions on
after COMPARISON with Gen. Walkers emu
meration in 1880. The census of 1880 showed
an increase in population in the south
which was a disagreeable surprise to the
republican leaders, who raised the cry
Of fraud. A recount of the returns was
made, which, however showed no change
in the result.
There is some apprehension that Mr..
Porter's census will be as unreliable as tie
census of 1870, which was coufessedly mac
curate. The south is interested in knowing
whether the white man holds his own with
the negro, or whether the white race
Increases fast enough to insure in time the
! solution of the race problem. The census
touches no more important matter, and for
this reason it is to be seriously regretted
that it is not in the hands of some one
wholly free from any partisan feeling.
The suggestion is made by the Halifax
Herald that the United States should
change its name. THE United States of
America is about equal to no name at all
it remarks without even the ghost of a
smile. IF the people of the United States
really intend to perpetuate the mistake they
made a century ago In separating them
selves from their kinsmen of the Anglo
Saxon race, they should try and give them
selves a name BETTING their ancestry aud
the land which British proves won for
them" The righteousness of this idea is
not half so funny as the suggestion coming
from Halifax, which is only another name
for sheol. for whenever a man wishes some
one at some other place and does not want

There are daily appearing fresh evidences
that the Republican party is assuming to
! introduce mona chical ideas into our sys-
TEN Of government. and that we are grad
ually drifting away from the policy upon
which this government was founded by our
forefahers. Changes are continually being
made, which, although they may appear
unimportant, are only an entering wedge to
commit further abuses of this kind, and
they show the tendency to drift toward
monarchical ideas. A case in point is the
proposition to so change our postage stamps
that they will all bear the same device. the
arms Of the United States. emblazoned in
stead of the portraits Of Washington, Frank
lin and Others This is the custom in mon
arches. where every stamp, Of whatever de-
nomination, bears tire head Of the sovereign.

ORIGIN OF MATHEMATICAL SIGNS

The radical sign was derived from the init
ial letter of the word ''radix.n
The sign Of equality was first used in 1851
by sharp mathematician, who substituted it
to avoid repeating equal to-"
The multiplication sign was obtained by
changing the plus sign into the letter Y. This
was done because multiplication is but
shorter form of addition
Division was formerly indicated by placing
the dividend above horizontal line and the
divisor below. In order to save space in
printing the dividend was placed to the left
and the dvisor to the right, with a simple dot
in place of each.
The sign of subtraction was derived from
the word minus The word was first con-
tracted into IN 5, with horizontal line
above to indicate the contraction, then at
last the letters were omitted altogether, leav-
ing the short line -.
The sign of addition is derived from the
initial letter of the word plus" In making
the capital letter 1t was made more and more
careleSsly until the top part OF the p was
placed near the center, hence the plus sign
was finally reached -St. Louis Republic

HOW ELISHA GOT LEFT.

We find the following story IN the
Castle Rock (Col.) journal. The Haze
kiah of the tale was the father of Mr.. f.
h. Clay of this village. How the story
ever reached Colorado,i not explained;
During the early history of the town
of Lincoln, Vermont, there were two
men, whom we will call Hezeniah and
Elisha, residing near each other, with
the same II, ighborly feeling that usually
prevailed in the early time, although
each had "A will of his own which ON one
occasion led them to some slight diSa-
greemcnt. At the time when the fact
we are about to narrate took place, but
very few of the people owned both horses
and pleasure wagons. llezekiah owned
a horse but no wagon. and Elisha owned
Il pleasure wagon. and the only one in
town at that time. but no horse.
They often went together To Bristol. a
village some six or seven miles distant,
to transact business, and by mutual
agreement the formers horse was har-
messed to the latter's wagon.
They were not unlike men of modern
time, for when their business was tran
sacted they partOOk IA little too freely of
the ardent, which developed itself on
their way home, into little common
disturbance, by the way of loud talk and
quarreling.
"Get out of my wagon" exclaimed
Elisha when they were about half way
home, you sha ut ride another rod with
me-
don't care to ride any further" re-
piled Hezekiah, apparently believing that
submission was preferable to resistance.
lie jumped from the wagon and instantly
unhitched the horse and mounting him
rode leisurely toward home,
Hold ON. hold on, you may ride in
the wagon shouted Elisha, when he
saw that he was outwitted by his friend.
I'D just as soon ride home horseback
as any way" replied IIezekiah with an
Independent air, occasionally looking
backward over his shoulder 10 his COM
panion, who was still in his wagon
Elisha was obliged to walk over three
miles to his home and return the next
day with an OK team for his wagon.

THE WORK OF REV. DR.. HAMLIN.

1t would be difficult to conceive of a
higher tribute to the life work Of any
man than is paid 70 thr ln'urs Of Rev.
DR.. Cyrus Hamin by It few facts set
forth by Rev Edward G.. Porter of Lex
ington, Mass, in an address delivered in
the Congregational church at Woodfords
yesterday. Mr.. Porter used leaye of
absence granted by his church in Lexing-
ton in visiting the missions of the
American board. In this novel but ex-
ceedingly fruitful pilgrimage, he was
accompanied by Rev. DR.. Daniel March
of Woburn, Mass, and together they
went around the world among the mis-
sionaries of many lands. They began
with the peoples of the lower Danube,
and it was in Bulgaria that Mr.. Porter
made his observations of the far-reach-
ing results of DR.. Hamln's work. Mr..
Porter was prepared to find Robert col
lege, which Dr. Hamlin founded at Con-
stantinople quarter of IA century ago,
held in high esteem at the east. But he
seems to have been much surprised to
learn that it was the mother of a revolu-
ton and the guardian of a state. When
Mr.. Porter arrived in Bulgaria. which has
thrown off the Turkish yoke within a
few years and made "A braye beginning
in the establishment of free Institutions,
lie found that IA large proportion of the
cabinet ministers, the high officials of the
d "a itni. ftsf if,t
provinces, etc, the most influential
journalists and the physicians were
graduates of Robert college. Bulgaria
is in the hands OF young men who have
learned in Robert college those principles
of free government which the English
race has worked out for itself. but which
Turkey and Turkish dependencies yet
languish without. They are the men
who have led the people of Bulgaria
through the revolution that has occupied
so large share of attention since the
coup d'etat under Prince Alexander of
Battenburg; and they never could have
done it without the education that Robert
college is giving to the young of Turkey.

Had it not been for DR.. Cyrus Hamliu,
there would in all probability be no Rob
ert college to-day. For seven years after
he bought the land he labored for the
consent OF the sultan to the erection of
the college, finally prevailing with the
good offices of the American minister and
Admiral Farragut, who happened to be
in those waters. The college is now
showing its fruits in generation of
young statesmen who are regenerating
the political institutions of eastern
Europe as well as regenerating the re-
ligious and social life of these downtrod-
den peoples. 1t is great thing for a
