White and coIored PonuIa,ion

The race count for the South Atlantic aud
South Central States and for Missouri and
Kansas fully confirms the inference from a
count Of few Of the old slave States that
the colored population of the South is in
creasing in much smaller ratio than the
white. Since 1880 1t is evident from a study
OF the tables.given In bulletin just issued by
ne census department that this excess of In
crease on the part Of the whites has been 90.

TO show otherwise for the preceding decade

Thus the blacks increased during the decoao

whites increased at the rate of "a 67 ner

Another fact of interest. brought out by the
tabulation is that In spite of emigration

blacks to concentrate in the far Southern

The contest for the speakership of the next
National House of Representatives promises
to be not only lively but bitter. Upon one
side is Mills, of Texas. backed by the Breck-
inridge and out-and-out free trade combina-
ton. 1t is rule or ruin crowd, and they
have begun the contest after their accus-
toned style. The newspaper which may
most fairly claim to be their organ is the st.
Louis Republic, one of the least able but
most dishonest Democratic journals in the
country. The Republic leads off In the con-
test with an attack upon Mr.. Crisp, of
Georgia, whom it seems TO recognize as the
most formidable candidate of Mr.. Mills.
The accusation made against Mr.. Crisp is
that he belongs to the Randall wing of the
Democratic party, that is, that he is not suffi-
GENTLY radical upon the free trade issue.
Mr.. Crisp. in a published interview, has
affirmed his devotion to what he terms
tariff REFORM" but has only succeeded in
drawing the following rettrt from the organ
of the Mills wing:
Under Grover Cleveand's leadership the DEM
ocratic partyturned on these iobstructionists and
trampled them down. 1t did not wait for the Nc
Kinley bill to turn their stomachs' 1t thrust
RANDALL out OF the leadership In Pennsylvania,
ana would have put him out Of Congress had his
ne served. That lesson was useful to the RAN
aall Democrats and from then until now they
nave refralned from trying to get at the front OF
tariff reiorm."
The attempt to hunt Crisp down by de-
nouncing him as Randall Democrat" is
only continuation of a policy of ill-con-
.cealed hostility which some of his rivals In
his own party adopted towards him during
the last Congress. Mills and the Breckin-
ridges feared Crisp's abilities and his supe-
rior weight; and it was easy to see that they
took every possible means to keep him in
the background. They are now attacking
him openly in way that they hope will
prejudice the western free traders against
MIN. Probably Mr.. Crisp would not go to
the extent In tariff reform" of abolishing
the duties and adopting in their stead direct
taxes of the income and other varieties. II |
is believed that Mills would 20 to any posi- /

1t will be seen that In only two of the

A Vermont newspaper recalls the Giro UNI
stances under which Senator Edmunds was
appointed to the United States Senate. His
career began and ended with events which
have marked periods In the history Iof the
Republican party. He entered the Senate in
time to aid his party in thwarting Andrew
Johnson's attempt to defeat the civil rights
bill; and he leaves the Senate just after a
traitorous faction Of his own party has sue
ceeded In betraying the party in one of the
cardinal points of Its creed. Senator Foot

had vetoed it and the Senate was endeavor-
ing to pass it over the veto. April Sd MIR.
Edmunds was appointed to the vacant seat
by the governor of Vermont. His creden-
tials were made out that day. He left tina
night for Washington. and his vote was cast
on the 9th In favor iof the passage of the
civil rights bill over the veto. The vote
stood thirty-three to fifteen. Had Senator
Dixon of Connecticut. an administration Re-
publican. been present, there would have
been sixteen votes for the veto, and without
the vote of Mr.. Edmunds the bill, which es-
tablished the right of the freedmen to be
treated as citizens, would have failed of the
necessary two-thirds in its favor. Senator
Edmunds belonged to the era of masculine
Republicanism in the United States Senate.
The performances Of some of his colleagues
In the contest over great party principle
undoubtedly made him feel that he was get

The Presidents brief speeches in his
Southern trip are exceedingly happy, always
adapted to the people he is speaking to and
touching some topic In which they have a
special interest. At Galveston he touched
upon the great enterprise of giving deep
water to that port and won the enthusiastic
plaudits of his hearers by declaring that
while he was an economist in the sense that
he would not waste of the public money, he
was not an economist in the sense that he
would leave incomplete or suffer to lag any
great work highly promotiye of the true in
terests OF the people. The New York Sun,
speaking OF bio addresses, says that they are
"modestIn tone, interesting in matter, loca |
in their application while general in their
character, lively without being sensational,
moderate without being commonplace, fulliof
ideas, consistent without being monotonous,
execellently and often eloquently expressed,
they deserve recognition by political friends
and enemies alike as models of Pullman plat
form oratory."

The Farmers Alliance of Florida appears
to have captured Senator Call, hook, line,
bob and sinker. Recently they submitted to
him list of their demands among which
were the following and asked him what he
thought of them:
The abolition OF the national banking system
and the substitution of legal tender treasury notes
In lieu OF the national bank notes, and in sufficient
volume, In conjunction with gold and silver to do
the business OF the country on a cash basis.
"That the sub-treaSury bill Of the National Far
mers' Alliance and Industrial Union, now pend
Ing In Congress, or some better system for the re-
lief OF the struggling masses be passed"
Call replied that he had advocated all
these things In the Senate and should give
them his support in the future. He thought
too, they were in accord with the principles
and policy Of 1.-THE Democratic party. This
sub-treasury SCENE is the scheme to compel
the government to advance the farmers
money on their crops, taking mortgage on
the latter as security. And this scheme is,
In Senator Calls opinion, thoroughly in ac-
cord with the principles and policy of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Call belongs to
the southern living Of the party-the wing
that generally manages to run things.

A senatorial election nowadays without
somebody's proclaiming that he had been
approached" and offered a large sum Of
money to vote for some particular candidate
is great rarity. The case of Senator Cali
is the latest In print. Undoubtedly the move
ment which is gaining considerable Roadway
to change the constitution so that Senator's
shall be chosen by direct vote of the people
is the outgrowth largely of these constantly
recurring incidents, and the fact that as a
rule. under our present method, the candidate
with thelongest purse carries off the prize.

troll of the Atlantic s. Pacific Railway Company
being exercised Jointly by the Atchison and the

hopelessness Of working under divided owner
