The prospect is splendid so far for
excellent wheat and fruit crops in all
parts of Missouri. The secretary of
the state board Ofagriculture recently
issued the following report: "The
rainfall has been formal and the snow
which covered die ground in the north
ern part of ne state has been benefi-
cial to the wheat crop. The temper
AZURE and sunshine were normal dur
ing the week. The wheat crop has ap-
parently wintered well in all sections
of the state and prospects for a good
crop appear to nc much better than at
this time last year. In a few places
tine alternate freezing and thawing dur
ing the last of February and the first
of March did some slight damage, but
generally there has been sufficient
snow TO protect the wheat from injury.
The ground is generally too wet for
seeding in some counties, particularly
in the southwest. Planting has begun

SOME LESSONS OF THE CENSUS.

The bulletins of the Census Office
show that on the whole the white popu.
lation has increased at a greater rate
during the past decade than the black
Their are only three States in which
the Negroes Outnumbcr the white,
South Carolina. Mississippi and
Louisiana-and these three States,
together with Alabama and Georgia,
contain over 81 per cent. of the total
%colorcd population of the country.
The census figures afford us the
means of comparing the vote of these
States with the total population. In
South Carolina there are l.15O,957
persons, of whom 692.503 are colored.
The total Presidential vote of South
Carolina, as returned in 1855. was 49,
sci, of which 6,s25 votes were counted
for Cleveland and 1886 for Harrison.
About seven persons in every 100
voted. Assuming that As many white
men voted the Republican ticket as
there were colored men who voted
the Democratic ticket, the white voters
were about Il in every seven. and
the number of cOlored voters about
IL in every fifty. To put il another
way, about fourteen white persons in
every hundred were voters. and about
two cOlored persons in every hundred.
y similar state of affairs is shoun in
Mississippi and Louisiana.
There are several deductions that
may bc drawn from these figures. Ii
appears, for onc thing. that not over
D~nc-quartcr of the colOrcd voters east
ballots or get them counted
when cast. 1t appears that there is
the slightest danger OF Negro
i'll the States where there
re most Negroes. Ii appears either
hat the Negroes do not want to vote
which nobody believes-or that they
re not allowed to vote.
And the white Democrats of the
southeast. and their allies III the
acknowledge all this. and ask.
: Tweed did, What are you going to
10 about it,"

WEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

In al editorial OIL wealth and hap
pincos the New York Press says:
some very rich men have written
answers to a correspondent who asked
them whether wealth brought happi-
ness. Most ofthe replies are interest
Ing, but only a few contain anything
new in sentiment or suggestion. The
general refrain appears 10 be that the
cares of great wealth more than Offset
the happiness derived from its use
and possession. The fact is that no
general rule or measure can apply to
the subject. For instance, great
wealth could not bring much happi-
ness TO a man afflicted with O. painful
and incurable disease. or 10 q man who
has exhausted vigor and morfeaged
vitality in the pursuit of wealth. 1t
could not bring happiness to him who
looks for happiness only in this world.
and knows that he has but little 0 this
world lett.
Few men acquire great fortunes
while at the time of life when. from a
physical point of view. life is most en-
joyab!e. John w. Mackay's answer
to the query is that "he enjoyed poy-
erty and hardship while winning
wealth more than he ever enioved
the wealth itself" Very likely. Not
that Mr.. Mackay was really delighted
with poverty and hardship, but that
he was young then, and the brave
struggle of vigorous youth, with for
tune ahead and perhaps in sight. had
in it more real zest and pleasure than
the actual possession of the prize, in
calmer and more calculating wears.
MIR. George NJ. Pullman voiced a feel
ing similar to that of Mr.. Mackav.
lie was much happier, he said, when
a poor and hard working man than
now with his millions, and Vice Presi-
dent Morton was also happier, when
a young man, clcrking in a country
than with his ample fortune to-
day. ,
William II. Vanderbilt used TO saw /
