THE RACE PROBLEM.
STATISTICS WHICH SHOW THAT iT
is SOLVING ITSELF.

Tho Colored Race Has Not Held ITS Own
In tho Last Decad---The Whites Have
Increased Moro Rapidly since 1880 :
No Perceptible Northward movement.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Superln-
tendent Porter of the Census Bureau
has in preparation an important bplle-
tin giving the population of the South
Atlantic and South Central States, Mis-
souri, and Kansas by races. The total
population embaced in this count is
given as 23,S75, ,259, of which 1865. EOS
were white, 6,996, ,166 colored and lO,SS8
Chinese, japanese and Indians. In the
States included were found In 1890 flf-
teen-siXteenthS of the entire coiored
population of the United States, so that
Tor the purpose of immediately ascer-
tanning the percentage of increase Of
the colored population the returns OF
these States are adequate and not likely
to be materially affected by the returns
OF other States and Territories where
the colored population is small.
The abnormal increase of the colored
population In what is known as the
"6lack belt" during the decade ending
1880, led to the popular belief that the
greater rate than the white population.
This error was natural one, and arose
from the difficulty of ascertaining how
much or the increase shown by the
tenth census was real and how much
was due to the omission of the census
or 1910. The facts as aScertained suS-
tain the theory that the high rate Of
increase in the growGh of colored popu-
lation as shown in 1880, was apparent,
not real, and that 1t was due to imper-
feet enumeration in the Southern
States in 1870. During the past decade
the colored race has not held its own
against the whites in the region where
the climate and conditions are, OF all
those which the country affords, the
o. st suited to its development. In only
three decadee. that from 1900 to 1880,
during part of which time the slave
trade was in progress, has the colored
race increased more rapidly than the
whites. Since 1880 the whites have
steadily increased at more rapid rate
than the colored people. This increase
has not been effected by the aid of i'm
migration, for, with the exception OF
Kansas and Missouri, these States have
received comparatively few emigrants,
either from foreign countries or from
Northern States. Similarly the pro-
portion of colored inhabitants to the
white increased somewhat between
1900 and 1880, but since that time it
has steadily diminished. In 1880 when
the proportion was at its maximum
there was nearly six colored inhabit-
ants 10 ten white, but this proportion
has been reduced to tritle more than
lour at the present date or by nearly
one-third of it's amount. The delicien.
cles of the ninth census, says Porter,
are so apparent in this table that any
extended reference to them Is wholly
unnecessary. The following table gives
the present white and colored popula-
ton OF the several States under consid-
fin

THE SONG OF THE SOUTH.
The Report of the Tradesman for tho
First Quarter OF 1891.

CHATTANOOGA, March 25.--The
Tradesmans report of new industries
established in the Southern States dur
ing the first three months of 1891 shows
total'of S53, against 1877 for the cor
responding period of 1890 and 612 in
the corresponding period of 1889. The
figures for the quarter show a healthful
and steady growth in the Souths ma.
terial development.
During the three months there were
established in the South six agricul-
tural implement works, six barrel fac.
tories, twelve boot and shoe factories,
Comparatively a new industry in the
South, only two having been established
the first quarter of 1882 three brew
cries, one bridge works, two car works,
ten carriage factories, forty-fiye cotton
and woollen mills, (Which is somewhat
below the number In the corresponding
quarter of 1890, but the distribution is
general, Georgia leading with twelve,
South Carolina eight, Texas seven, and
nearly every other Southern State be-
ing represented J fifty-eight large deyel.
opment and improvements companies
Texas leading with twelve, Alabama
ten; thirty-one electric light companie,
organized, twenty-five flour and grist
mills, forty-seven foundery and ma.
chine shops, against forty-three in 1890
and forty-five in 1889, Texas leading
with ten, Virginia nine and the balance
equally distributed; nine blast furnace
companies organized. against twenty
two in the same perjed OF 1890 and
seventeen in 1889; seven gas works or.
ganized, twenty-eight ice manufacture
ing plants, fifty three mining and quar-.
rying companies sincorporated, four nail
works, eight oil mills, against twenty
one for the corresponding period OF
1880; five potteries, one rolling mill
company, fifty-three street railroad
lines incorporated, twelve tanneries
thjrty-two water-works chartered, 141
woodworking plants and seventy-nine
miscellaneous industries.
The phosphate excitement in the
South is shown by the fact that thirty.
two new companies were organized
during the quarter, nine Of which were
formed in Florida.
The extraordinary activity in rail.
road building in the South is showing
the fact that during the three months
ninety-three new railroad companies
were Incorporated. of which thirteen
were in Virginia, thirteen in North
Carolina, twelve in Georgia, ten in
Alabama, seven each in West Virginia
Texas and South Carolina and eleven
in Tennessee.
The Tradesman says that present in
dications point to continued activity
in the South in all industrial branches,
and the ensuing year gives more flat
tering promise OF substantial develop
ment in manufacturing growth than
any previous year, the most gratifying
feature of this being the diversified
character of the new industries.

Noedy Kansas Farmora.

TOPEKA, Kansas, March 24.-The rail.
road commissioners have made their
first tour of examination in ten of the
Kansas counties, for which money was
appropriated to purchase seed grain,
and have returned to this city. It is es-
timated that 10000 bushels of spring
wheat will supply seed to those who
stand in most urgent need. There were
34O applicants for aid TO Judge Humph-
rey, at Hayes City, in Ellis County.
After examination Judge Humphrey
found only twenty who were in actual
need from the State. Graham, Seward
and Meade counties yet remain to be
visited. The commissioners declare that
The people are in much better coddition
than they were reported to be. Ex-Gov-
ernor Anthony stated that in the coun-
ties which he visited wheat had got into
hands of the money lenders, who were
demanding their pound of flesh. These

AT late hour Oh the 18th instant re-

ence to The forcib.e breaking on the l4th
of this month of the Jail in tins city and
the killing of eleven persons confined
therein under indictments found IN the

New Orleans. You stated to me that
it had been represented ~ the President,
by the minister of Italy, accredited to
the Government of the United States,
that among the killed on that occaeion
were three or four subjects Of the King
OF Italy.
The telegram disclosed an apprehen-
sion on the part of the minister. evident
ly shared in by the President, that the
disturbance was continuous and swell
ling disturbance which might involve
Italian subjects in New Orleans. I have
reasons TO believe that the hope ex-
pressed by the President that l would
cooperate with him in maintaining the
obligations Of the United States toward
italian subjects, who might be within
the perils Of The excitement, aud that
further violence and bloodshed might be
prevented, was based upon that belief.
He further expressed the hope that all
offenders might be promptly brought to
justice.
On the 10th 1 tclcgraphed you that
there was no excitement in the city at
that time and that saw no reason to
anticipate further trouble. also stated
that the action taken was directed
against particular individuals and that
the race or nationality of the parties did
not enter as q factor in the disturbance.
A week hos passed since the date of my
dispatch and the opinion then enter

DANBURY, Conn.,, March 10.--Two
young hunters, Charles w. Barnett and
Andrew Deibel, both of them living in
Masebac, started early yesterday morn
ing to hunt in the swamps about three
miles from Their home. In crossing one
of many deep streams in the swamp,
Deibel dropped his gun, which struck on
the log on which tho men were walking.
The charge entered Barnett's hip, rem
deriDg him helpless.
Deibel, in attempting to grasp the fallen
gun, lost his balance and fell in the
stream. He was unable TO grasp the
log, and could not climb the bank. Bar
nett, in his disabled condition, could rem
der no assistance, The water was cold,
and Deibel told his com ,anion that un-
less aid was summoned he would have
TO let 60 his hold.
Barnett then started for the nearest
farm house, hobbng along on improvised
crutches. The nearest house to the
swamp was nearly two miles away, but
the injured man managed to reach It and
inform the inmates of the predIcament
Ofhis companion. Barnett then tainted.
H. was fully two hours from the time
that Barnett started when help arrived.
Deibel was found clnging to the bank,
with his body in the cold stream. He
was almost exhausted. He was removed
to his home, where he now, lies, dclIr-
ious with fever. He ls very weak from
exposure. and his recovery Is doubtful.
Barnett cannot live, owing to great
loss of blood.

his wife on arising from his bed yester-

to kill her, and that as soon as he was
dressed he would carry out his mur-
derous intention. The poor woman,
knowing the desperate character of her
husband, decided that her only hope for
life lay in adopting desperate means
herself. She accordingly went to the
wood pile, and arming herself with the
axe, stole cautiously into the house,
and while her husband was engaged in
tying his shoe, she crept up behind him
and split his head In twain, killing him
instantly. She was arrested and held

ABOUT 4 O'Clock Friday evening,
March l3, crowd of Italians, number
ing from forty to fifty men, congregated
on the levee at the head Of Ursulnc
street. Three of them, named Guis-
seppe Lefere, A. Sencetta and Romano

warehouse for baskets, flags, etc., for
fruit ships and luggers. and. took there
from number of flags, among them an
American flag. Peter Gorales, the
keeper of the shanty, made no effort to
prevent the men from taking the flag.
On flagstaff attached to this shanty

SIIELBYvILLE, Ind, March 25.-Y es-

men happened to be away, demanding
that hot coffee and dinner be furnished
him. He abused the women whenever
they refused to comply. II. d. Flaitz
heard his wife cry for help, and getting
a revolver started after Dougherty. He
placed Dougherty under arrest just as
he had kicked down the door of Mr..
Ensminger's house.
Last night a mob of over five hundred
men surrounded the jail where he was
locked up and demanded the prisoner.
The sheriff refused, but as the officer
was taking the prisoner through the
back alley he was seized by a mob, who
took him to bridge, when rope was
placed around the tramp's neck. Some
members of the mob begged that his life
be spared, and the lash be substituted.
About thirty persons were provided
with cowhides, and each one piled the
lash across the mans almost bare back.
He begged for life, and every stroke
seemed to bring fresh blood until his
shoes were filled. Finally he was cut
down, exhausted, but with strength
enough TO get off
