voted against them has said that he
never could or would vote for it. The

with the Democrats, killed those infa-

against them but spoke eloquently and
powerfully against them.

Lafayette, Louisiana, has sunk a shaft
80 feet in depth, in hopes of striking a

FEB. 7. 1891.
THE INCRE4SE OF THE RACES

Considerable discussion las beer
occasionally heard in reference to the
increase Of the white race and the
growth of the colored race.
Many have commended that the
colorsd people have increased more
rapidly than the Caucasian, but upon
what grounds they base such an
assumption have never been given
except as an effect of brilliant imagi-
nation.
The late census has begun to re-
mor all such decisions. According
to the late ensus in Louisiana for
1890, the population is, whites, 562, 113,
colored, 550,122. In 1880 the census
gave, whites 454,954, colored. 4S8, 655.
Here we have a colored majority of
28,701 in 1880 changed into a white
majority of II, 991 in 1890 which shows
beyond doubt which race increases in
numbers o rapidly.
Taking the three States of Alabama,
Louisiana aid South Carolina, the
Only ones published so far. the increase
In those three States in the last decade
has been whites 397. 034, colored,
158,261, the white increase being
more than double that of the colored
when the colored race had 1sO.s36 ma
jority in 1880. Had the percentage
OF increase been equal the colored
increase should haze been greater
than was that of the white in round
numbers.
In those three States the percentage
of increase has been, for the white.
26.4 per cent, for the colored SO per
cent. In Louisiana the percentage of
increase has been, white, 1856, colored
1873, the whites increasing almost
twice as rapidly as the colored. Now,
there is nothing startling about this
difference. The assertion that the
colored race have more children then
the WINES is simply an assertion that
observing persons who make use of
their eyes would never promulgate.
Again, on the average, white chill
dren are better provided far, and are
more likely to live from the very fact
that they do not have to bear the
same hardships, and, experience the
same want of attention that the colored
children are necessarily subject from
the nature of their position in life.
The census of 1880 gave the increase
Of the colored people, for the previous
decade, 1T 34.3 per cent. OF course.
previous to the report Of the entire
population in the country the percent
age Of increase cannot be ascertained.

Nearly every one knows something of
the record OF the colony which owed its
origin 10 the mystic teachings of George
Rapp. He came 10 America in 1906 with a
band OF coo German adherents. They
founded the town OF Harmony In Pennsyl
vania, and decade later removed to Posey
county. Ind. where they established an
other community Of the same name Mala-
ria drove them from their second home,
and in 1895 the remnant Of the band re-
turned to Pennsylvania, where they formed
what is still known as the village OF Econ.
omy.
Soon after reaching America the doc
trine OF celibacy had been promulgated
and accepted by Rapp's followers, and 1t is
IN force today. One by one the immigrants
died off, but few Of their places were
filled with converts. In material way
the society prospered more than any other
association Of a religious nature the world
has ever seen. Whatever the Eeonomites
undertook brought them financial profit.

Who is DR.. Cyrus Teed' Well, he is a
remarkable mana man who has founded
"A celibate society known as the "Kore-
shans;" man who claims to be immortal
and who arrogates TO himself powers usu-
ally associated with divinity alone. He
has had a varied career since he was born
in a New York village ffty-two years ago
IA career that according to common re
port has been open to criticism.
After separating from his wife, who had
just given birth to a boy, Teed branched

So far the tale is n plain one Now
comes the complication. IL seems that
long since Cyrus Teed became cognizant
of the methods and beliefs of the Penn
sylvania community and started his
Koreshan scheme along the same lines
OF celibacy and revelation. He adhered Ia
Rapp's plan with such fidelity and secured
such following that when he visited
Economy the other day, aired his preten.
sions and declared his mission, he was
hailed as the immortal who was to con.
tinue and complete the task of establish.
ing sexless rnce on earth.
He has arranged to merge the rich Har.
mouists with the poor Koreshans, and To
inaugurate "A vast commercial and indus.
trial enterprise, of which he is to be the
chief "Henric g. Dussr will disappear as
financial potency, and In their place DIR.
Cyrus Tced will blossom out as the coii-
troller and manipulation of millions. Just
how this tremendous earthly undertaking
will harmonize with tho imminent trans.
lation of the doctor to celestial sphere has
not yet developed Perhaps, in view of his
good luck, the chief of the Koreshans may
be induced to postpone for awhile his
contemplated departure to the realms of
beatitude. He indicates such course him
self in recent statement, from which this
extract is made:
Il will in the near future establish store
in Pittsburg on my system of equitable
commerce. will establish a big central
house in Chicago and expect my co-opera.
tive system to come into general vogue in

societies in this country. There are about
10000 celibates in the country outside of

order of things is approaching rapidly and
will come in time. am not going to die"
Perhaps the people who regard DR.. Teed
and his plans with the most disfayor are
the tramps. They say that ne is "out for
the stuff" and that when he gets the reins
in hand his first move will be to abolish
the Economy palace" This palace is a
big structure near the village hotel, where
all wanderers are welcomed, fed, bathed
and lodged. Three thousand vagrants par
took OF the society's hospitality last year.
