THIRTEEN HUNDRED Bill S PRACT1
CALLY STRANDED.

At the close of this congress there will
be in the neighborhood of 100 bills on
the calendar of the house which have
been favorably reported, but which will
fail for want of time for their considera-
alton. Some of the appropriation bills
will probably be signed within an hour
of the time of final adjournment, and it
may be, as has often occurred, that the
hands of the clock will have to be turned
back to prevent the failure of an appro-
priation bill, Among the measures that
will fail is Mr. Grains resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitution
substituting the 3lst day of December
for the 4th day of March as the com
mencement and termination of the Of
fetal term of members of the house aud
of senators, providing that congress
shall mold its annual meeting on the first
Monday in January, and substituting
the Both of April for the 4th of March as
the date for the commencement and ter
mination of the term Of the president
and vice president.

MRS. LEASE ON SENATOR INGALLS,.

Mrs. Lease is born scold, happily for
her. too, the event occurred subse-
ouently to the abolishing. of the
ducking-stool. Her sole ambition is
the notoriety that comes of public life.
She cares nothing for the cause of the
Alliance, farther than that which she
can squeeze out of it for her own glory
and her own pocket took, and that IS a
fact. She is a ranting screecher, a she
agitator of pure Irish extraction. and a
row is her delight. She halls from Cork
no less than from Wichita, but Hail
Columbia appears to be her best hold.
She has been Oh all sides of all questions,
allied herself to many parties and has be-
longed to not a few churches and socie-
ties, in all of which she seems to have
proved an element of discord. Her
tongue Is her besetting sin, her brains her
weakness and both are of an abnormal
development. She declared in her
Washington speech, as she has elsewhere,
that the women of the Kansas Alliance
defeated ingalls,. If that were so, which
it is not, for what reason did they do it!
For eighteen years has Ingalls,
been prominent figure in capt.

berless pure American girls and women
whose virtue and lives have been wreck

and power. But in all that eighteen
years Of opportunity and temptation
ingalls, has stood remarkably unfair
nished; stood honoring pure woman
hood, stood as an example of unusual
brightness for consistency and con-
stancy. Then why should Mrs. Lease
and the Alliance women of Kansas SO
hate, so despise and SO villify ingalls,,
more than any or all other public men
of Kansas? Mrs. Lease was made to I'M
derstand, and very quickly and by very

COLORED POPULATION SOUTH.

According to the official figures of the
census bureau of the population OF
Arkansas the colored population is in
creasing faster than the white; for, al
though there are considerably more than
twice as many white as colored inhabi-
tants, yet, in the last ten years, the col
cred population has increased 47.6 to an
increase of SO. 1 for the whites. Of the
100, 900 increased colored population, fully
three-quarters of it IS found IN the
counties which border the Mississippi
river, and, says the Times-Democrat,
eastern Arkansas is like the Yazoo Delta,
becoming New Africa. The census
bureau does not, of course, attempt to
account for this discrepancy, but it IS
fair to say that it is caused by the excess
of colored immigrants to the state over
white, as is the case on the other side of
the river in Mississippi.
In Louisiana, by the state census, it
seems that the negroes have increased by
about 10000, yet in the same time the
whites have increased by over 100, 900, SO
that they today are in the majority in
that state.
South Carolina and Mississippi are the
only two states in the Union in which
the whites are in minority; but, as the
respective gains in the white and colored
population of South Carolina are far
more noticeable, by their contrast, than
they appear in Louisiana, j. e., the
actual increase of the white population
of South Carolina exceeding the increase
of Louisiana by about 1000, while the
increase of the colored population Of
Louisiana in the same time exceed that
of South Carolina by about $1,000, it
may be safe to assume that, ii four or
five years, Mississippi will be the only
state in the Union in which the colored
population will exceed the white.
These calculations, however, all tend
to attract unusual attention to the state
of Mississippi, and the publication of
the official figures Of the United States
census, with regard to the white and
colored population of that state, will be
awaited with considerable interest.

The citizens of the country generally
feel sense of satisfaction that the
request Of Gen. Sherman as to the place
of his burial was complied with, even
though st. Louis may never undertake
to erect manument at his grave. The
proposition made by New York to erect
a monument to his memory in that city
has semi-sacriligious sound, in view of
the untitled pledge that the neglected
grave of Gen. Grant is constant re-
minder of. st. Louis IS making no
indecent haste in the matter, but it will
not be a surprise if Sherman's grave has
a fitting memorial over it before Grants.
