RELA TIVE GROWTH or THE r.

RELATIVE GROWTH OF THE RACES.
Not long ago leading English jour-
nal expressed alarm at the possibil ity of
the Authorization of the United States.
and with the utmost seriousness sug-
gested the removal Of our colored popu-
lation to the heart of Africa If the
editor of that paper has yet had an op-
portunity to study the census bulletin
respecting the colored population he
will have found that his solicitude was
groundless. Doubtless n similar an xiety
has been felt in this country, finding its
warrant in the great increase
shown in the negro population
by the census of 1880 over that
of 1870, but subseque Investigation has
demonstrated with reasonable certainty
that the apparently rapid increase in
that decade was due to an under emu
meratioa in 1870.
When the first census was taken in
1890 there were in what is known as the
"black belt' $4,000 colored people to
every 100000 white, while according to
the census of last year there were in
that region 4l,OO0 colored people to
every 100000 whites Eighteen states
are included in the bulletin, and of these
the colored population has increased
faster than the whites in only three
states-West Virginia, Arkansas and
Mississippi, while Georgia shows almost
the same percentage, In the other IA
states there is more or less decided
preponderance of white increase. The
negro increase in West Virginia is ex-
planned by the bringing in of laborers to
work on the railroads and in the mines,
while the increase in Arkansas and Miss
issippi is largely deceptive, because the
census shows plainly decided tendency
on the part OF the colored people in the
border states to move farther south,
probably for climatic reasons. In
every southern state the whites
have, during the last decade,
made n larger absolute increase,
and In all but the states noted above a
larger relative increase than have the
negroes. In regard to the race equiib-
rum that has been maintained during
the last 80 years in the more south
ern states, it finds ex PLANTATION in the
fact that the conditions existing in these
states during greater part of this per-
iod were more unfavorable to the in
crease OF the white population than they
are likely to be again. Such being the
case, the fact that the whites have held

ers, who tempt the homesteader from
the straight and narrow path of thrift
and economy aud lead him into the

Is doubtless true that the persistent loan

plant would disappear. The prob.
lem for the homesteader is
to coin his prosperity out OF his land and
labor, and not attempt to purchase it
ready-made from the loan agent.
The fields still open to settlement arc
wide, both in the south and west. but in
each section methods of recla nation are
necessary to make the soil fit to sustain
life The southern swamps and the
western deserts are now in the process
OF being reclaimed, ana considerable
arabic land still remains to be
taken up in states west of tho
Missouri, including Nebraska Another
phase OF settlement in this state, which
ought to command attention, is that OF
hndlng purchasers for the lands Of the
restless class of settlers who are moving
ever westward. Farmers of means can
doubtless be attracted to these lands by
proper effort Such people will benefit
themselves, the class of whom they pur.
chase and the state at large.
