The assumption Of control today by the De-
partment Of Agriculture over the newly organ
zel weather bureau. and the separation of the
weather from the signal service Of the army is
an event of national importance Both
branches doubtless will prosper under the new
arrangement The signal service has a most
honorable record. IL viii continue a part of
the military arm OF the government and, the
area of Its operation restricted, will probably
b, more efficient than ever before in its his
tory. IL has capable chief and there exists
no apparent reason why il should not eclipse
the similar service of any other government.
The weather bureau. attached 20 the agricul-
turaI department, and under a distinguished
scientist, can be widely extended in its scope of
usefulness to embrace a number of objects il

cIimatology of the republic can now be officially
and speedily reduced to some precision. and
other matters related to the work Of the bureau
be brought under system and pushed to definite
Conclusions.

The frs, African slaves ever on this CONT

The first African slaves ever on this conti-
nsnt we're brought here In the course Of the
slave trafic Undoubtedly much the larger
portion OF the population Of African descent
now in the United States the direct Of
spring Of these victims OF the slave trade. But
when so eminent statistician As Gen. Francis
A. Walker states his belief that the number Of
Africans in this country would not now exceed
20 900 but for the slave trade. those who are at
all familiar with the early colonial history may
we'll We nder on what foundation his opinion
rests. Certainly the first negroes in the Caro-
haas we're not sold there into slavery, however
their owners came originally by them. The
colony hat settled on the Cape Fear and sub
sequently removed to South Carolina held a
number OF black slaves which they had brought
with them from the West Indies and other ne
groes were taken from the Yves. India Islands
into North and South Carolina. IL is highly
probable that the number Of descendants of
such servants not brought into the colonies
under the slave traffic "a practiced here is
largely in excess of that mentioned by Gen.
Walker. There is no way to verify either his
estimate or any other. but the probabilities
from known facts are against his figures
