limits. They have never left Africa
in numbers, except by force. The
negro population of the United States
will not leave the country, except by
force ; persecution, or the hope of bet
tering theif condition, may cause them
togo from one section of the country
to another, but not to leave it entirely.
They have their habitat, and 10 leave
it would probably cause extinction.
In this country their migrations
from the Southern States have been
sporadic and generally caused by de-
ception. The tendency is for them to
crowd down into the gulf States,
where the land is rich and the climate
mild. As people they have not the
land-hunger OF the whites, and have
no anxiety to be rich. They will al
ways be here and be to more or less
extent the wards of the whites.
While they were the occasion of our
civil war, they were not responsible
for it and their freedom that resulted
was the free gift of the Federal gov
ernment, as was also their enfranchise-
ment which has proved more curse
than blessing.

The lotteryites may crow over I'll

b The lotteryites may crow over their
victory in The Supreme Court but
the opinions Of the dissenting Judges
are convincing that the decision should
have been unanimous against the lot
terry. The lottery carried the house
OF representatives also, and the senate,
and each blythe requisite number and
no more. The lottery slould have had
one more than the necessary number,
In some OF these victories, just for the
sake OF appearace. But the final VIC
tory is the one to be considered most.
Pyrrhus, the king Of Epirus, gained
victory after victory over the Romans,
and each victory brought him just
that much nearer to the inevitable
final defeat. The people OF Louisiana
do not intend to be defeated in this
matter, and be enslaved by the lottery
gamblers. They will make a determ
ined effort to defeat the lottery and
its minions, by the ballot and if they
should be swindled by bribery, they
may declare the lottery to be q poll
tical and moral Malta, and treat it ac-
cordingly. In so doing, they would
have the support of the moral senti-
ment of the United States.

RELA TIVE INCREA Sc ORA CES

There has been considerable discus
sion in recent times as to the relative
increase Of the white and black races
in this country. The censuses of 1910,
1920 and 1880, showed a greater per-
centage of increase of the blacks, caused
by aecessions from the slave trade.
Since then the whites have increased
relatively faster, owing to immigration
from Europe.
Under similar conditions we doubt
if there is any practical difference in
the percentage of increase of the two
races Wealth, with tho ease or lack
Of physical exercise and the luxurious
or unhealthy way of living caused by
it, tends to check increase. This is
plainly shown BY the usually small
number Of children born in the
wealthy families of large cities. The
other extreme has the same effect.
Poverty, in population already dense,
IS unfavorable to increase. In the
rural districts. naturally healthy, where
the means OF subsistence is plentiful
but plain, the children are numerous.
Here in southwestern Louisiana,
where the conditions for natural in
crease are favorable in every respect,
the families are generally large. From
six 70 twelve children ID white fanli-l
lies, is common thing and eases Of
thirteen and fourteen can be iound ii
almost every neigh ghborhood. The same
can be said Of the colored population.
In the United States as whole, the
whites have constant access;ons hy i'm

DIR. Markham Refers In His Sermon to
the Lottery and Lottery Decision.
New Delta, May 4.

In his discourse of yesterday, taken
from Gen., A. "Am / my brothers
keeper" DR.. Markham, referring to-
the obedience to be rendered to athe
powers that be-" even when their de-
eisions were against our convictions
and hurtful to our highest interests,
stated that in Louisiana last week a
clear and impressive illustration was
given OF the application of this princi-
pie: when, by bare majority Of one
-of three to two-all honor to that
minority-the Supreme Court Of the
State put upon the moral and religious
sense of its citizens an open and fla
grant affront in deciding that they
must vote upon the question OF their
own self-degredation.
For the first time in a ministry in
this city, now in its thirty-fifth year, he
had felt like taking the stump and ap-
pealing to the honor and manhood Of
his fe1low-citizens, to save us from the
domination of that evil power, which
DR.. Palmer, the eminent and honored
pastor Of the First Presbyterian Church
Of New Orleans, in his open letter to
Governor Nichols, ftly styled the
lottery shame
Against this lordship of corruption
all good men and true should unite.
Let it succeed, let it choose its govern
or and Legislature, and appoint its
judges, and Louisiana would stand
pariah among its sister States, "a his
sing, by-word and reproach." .Icha-
bod would be written on her door posts,
for then Der glory would indeed have
departed. God grant that this "throne
Of iniqnity which fralneth mischief by
law" may not be set up in our fair
State. May God in his great compass
sion and tender mercy, and by his
oyerruling power, preserve us from
that at',speakable iafanay.

NITED STATES LAND OFFICE,

To Secretary of Farmers Union OF
st. Landry In reading over the pro
ceedings Of the Parish Union- held at
Bellevue April I'd, 1891, / find that
some of the motions as published are
at variance with those passed by the
Union. For instance, on motion Of
Swords, That the managers of Farmers
Vidette be requested to return all mon
les, ETC., should have read !: That the
managers of Vidette be requested to
return with thanks all monies received
by them for stock in said paper from
gentlemen in this parish who are not
in sympathy with Union principles.
I note furthermore that the motion
| made to reconsider the resolution Of
Maj. M. r. Wilson on the postmaster
ship of Opelousas, and my demand that
my vote be recorded for that reconsid-
Grafton, sre omitted altogether.
note still further that the motion
of DR.. ]. II. Parker TO select the St.
Landry Democrat, first, and then when
that was opposed 50 bitterly, to make
the Washington Advocate the co-offi-
cial journal of the Union, which mo-
tion was Overwhelmingly defeated, is
omitted altogether.
Now I cannot think that this has
been done to Intentionally wrong any
one, and only write this to our Off
cial journaA the CLARION, as an act of
justice to all concerned. Very truly,
M. T.. SWORDS.

The Louisiana lottery swindle has
accomplished its purpose in the Legis-
lature and courts of Louisiana, and the
question Of its perpetuation goes to the
people OF the State. 1t remains to be
seen whether the swindling concern
can be suppressed by the people or not.
