Opinions of the Press on Tupper's visit
to Wellington.
MoNrEEL, April g. Referring 90 the
trip of the trade delegates To- Washington
the Gd;cNf CNlinistchon says 'rhis may
be a courteous and diplomatic way OF init
mating that the United States Govern
ment declines even to consider the ques-
tiun of reciprocity with Canada, or II may
desperate efforts to induce Americans b
refuse negotiations with the Conservative
government on the ground that much bet
ter terms can hc secured from the Liberals.
We are bound to accept the excuse put
forward 10y Mr.. Blaine for the unexpected
uustponcment of the informal conference,
although doing so taxes our Credulity
somewhat heavily. Canada can await
Mr.. Bainc's notification that hC is ready
to BEGIN negotiations. Meanwhile, IL IS
obvious that Sir John Macdonald is ready
and eager to proceed to the business ot
concluding broad and liberal trade treat"
with the nitcd States and that the Auet-
lean authorities are hanging back.
Speaking on the same subject, the
HOoW Oiberal) says. 1t does not appear
that there was any design on the part of
MIR. blaine or President Harrison to
block Sir Charles Tupper's scheme. Mr..
desire TO enter into reciprocity ncgOtia-
tions with Sir John MacDonald's Govern
mcnt, as lac does not know how far they
are prepared to go beyond the treaty Of
1851. ON the whole, the move seems tD
be siIply one to gain time 10 quit the
reciprocity wing Of the Conservative
rarty by show of doing something, so
rs tu tide over what threatens to be for
the Government lively and difficult
session.
The Ottawa Free Press Opposition says
"rhc dying trips back and forth between
Ottawa and Washington are merely Il
part of the scheme to humbug the cleo
toratc. That is Il pretty story of Tup-
pei's-that President Harrison wants to
he present. and perhaps il is true, though
Blaine's version has yet to he heard. It
is hinted, however, that the general revolt
of the Canadian combinators against any
sort OF reciprocity negotiations had good
deal to do with the hasty return of Eos
ter and Sir John Thompson from WASH
ington. Meanwhile it must be admitted
that our Finance Minister'S trip to Wash
ington has been about as fruitlcss rs his
cruise among the West Indian colonies

The Colored Rnce.

Fran The Neio Ofie0DS Times DeLiOcrdf.
The State which shows the largest in
crease of colored population during the
past ten years Is California. The negroes
there have almost doubled, increasing
g6.7 per cent. II should be stated, how
ever that the aggregate increase is not
large, as there were very few in Callor-
MIA ten years ago, and they constitute to-
day less than per cent. OF the total popu-
lation. II would appear, also, that the
Californians are simply changing Chinese
for negro labor.
Taking the various cOlOred races of the
State, Chinese, Indian, negro and Japan
ese, there las been an actual decline as CONF
pared with 1880 from ~, ,2l3 to 81, ,572. The
white element Of the population has risen
from SSto 02 per cent, OF the total show
ing that there is no danger to white SUI
premacy from the inferior colOred races.
The Caliiornians seem to prefer the
negro to the Chinaman and have imported
some 5000 of the former, mainly from
Texas which is much less than it was
thought 10 be. As, however, the Califor-
mans do not seem to have too many
negroes yet, ii is probable that others will
go there and that the Pacific Coast will
relieve the South OF some Of its surplus
colOred population.

satiun lie mentioned the interest that was
felt hy himself and the people of Mexico
generally in the Worlds Fair at Chicago,
and added hat he would use every effort

ton for the display of the resources and

prCciated, lie desired General Miles also
10 thank the Government of the United
States for appointing Lieutenant Baker Of
the Navy rs Commissioners to Mexico.
On Wednesday, April !, a series of mill.
tary maneuvers were ordered in honor of
the General, and on Tuesday April 7, the

Louisville, April SIN AN editorial in
the Co,1ier-Jom7o', speaking of the al
legged fondness of New York Democrats
for dominating the party, Colonel Henry
Watterson says: "To browbcata and cajole
to threaten and entice is the usual stock
in trade Of the average New York politi-
elan, and the Democrats Of the West and
South are mighty tired of it. . y
The West and South do not mean to stand
any more 'd--n nonsense.' We have had
too much of it already. Hereafter If any
clubs are to be used in National Demo-
cratic Conventions may they always be
stuffed ones They will be in the hands
of men who mean what they say, and do
what they promise, wanting no other re-
ward than the consciousness of duty done.
Let the New York Su, and the New
York Hcy0d and all other New York
newspapers either Democratic or with
Democratic proclivites, put these plain
spoken but kindly intended observations
IN their pipes, clay or cob as the case
may be, and bcstow their gentlest respir-
alton upon them. a stitch in time saves
nine, and wisdom comes after reflection.

From the NtW lOrk Tri5,ms.
About year and a-half ago the T'riJWc
commented at some length ON the fact
that Geronimo, the wel-known Apache
chief, late Of Arizona, was teaching Sun
day'sChOOl in Alabama, where he is con
fined as a prisoner. We used the incident
as AN example of what could be done with
the Indian in civilization and related a
pleasing anccdote of how, in explaining
the story of Samson and the Philistines
to his class, Geronimo had drawn picture
on the blackboard, i'm which a great
crowd of Philistines was running away
from Samson, who wore feathers in his
hair and row of scalps around his
waist, while the Philistines were all in the
uniform of the United States Army.
Geronimo continued 10 teach and last
fall was made superintendent of the sun
day school Some of his notions, how
ever, seem To- have remained slightly
murky as late as the holidays, for on the
Christmas tree as presents for the Young
lady teachers of the school he put scalp
ing knives which he had made himself
ont Of iron barrel hoops. Now comes the
intelligence that he Will probably have To-
give up his Sunday school work, as he and
his band have decided 10 enlist In the
Army under the new regulations authOrZ-
ing Indian regiments.
II is, of course, unfortunate in one way
that Geronimo should give up his religious
work for the Army. War at the best is
cruel and unnatural, and can bear nD SORT
of comparison with the noble work of I'M.
culcaiing the simple truths of the G. )spal
