STATES.

To get the total population of these
states, 2,5S1 Chinese, 100 Japanese, and
S,207 Indians should be added to the
sum of the white and colored popula-
ton. Several tables are given which
show the movements of the colored ele-
ment of the population during the last
half century. An inspection of the
table makes it evident, says the bull
letin, that there has been no extended
movement of the element since the time
of the civil war. Indeed, with the
exception of the District of Co.
lumbia, the border states appear
to have lost rather than gained, and
during the last decade there becomes
perceptible a southwark movement of
the colored element from the border
states into those bordering the gulf,
particularly into Mississippi and Arkan-
sas where they have increased proper
tionately to the whites. Let the states
under consideration be divided into two
groups, the first comprising Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and
Kansas, and the second South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. Now,
the increase of the whites in the first of
these groups from 1880 to 1890 was at
the rate of % per cent, while that of
the colored element was but SIS per
cent. In the second of these groups the
rate of increase of the whites was SIS
per cent. while that of the colored was
but 19.1 per cent. In the first group the
number of colored to 10000 whites di-
minished between 1880 and 1890 from
20, 701 to 23,0S or 13.5 per cent, while
in the second group it diminished from
81, 456 to 73,611, or only go per cent.
There is therefore a perceptible ten
dency southwark of the colored people,
which, while by no means powerful,
has resulted in drawing a notable pro-
portion of that element from the bor-
der states, and in producing in two of
the far southern states a more rapid in
crease of the colored element than Of
the white.

WHITE VS. BLACK.

An Important Census Office Bulletin In
Preparation by Superint endent Porter
The Whites Increasing at More Rapid
Rate in the South Than the Negroes
Imperfections of Previous Censuses will
be Shown.
WASHINGTON. March 81 -Supt Por-
ter of the census bureau has in prepa-
ration an important bulletin, giving the
population of the South Atlantic and
South Central states, Missouri and Kan
sas, by races. The total population en-
braced in this count is given as %, ,S75,-
259, of which 16, s6S, ,2O5 were white,
6,996, 156 colored, and TO- ,SSS Chinese,
japanese and Indians. In the states
included were found in 1890 fifteen-six-
teenths of the entire colored population
of the United States, so that for the pur-
pose of Immediately ascertaining the
percentage of increase of colored popu-
lation the returns of these states are
ADEQUATE and not likely to be mate
rally affected by the returns of the
other states and territories where the
colored population is small. The alb
normal increase of the colored pOpula-
ton in what is known as the Black
Belt, during the decade ending in 1880,
led to the popular belief that the ne
groes were increasing at rate much
larger than the white population. This
error was natural one, and arose from
the difficulty of ascertaining how much
of the increase shown by the tenth CEN
sus was real, and how much was due to
the omissions of the census of 1870. The
facts as ascertained sustain the theory
that the high rate of increase in the
of hn
shown in 1880 was apparent, not real,
and that it was due to the imperfect
enumeration in the southern states in
1870.
During the past decade the colored
race has not held it's own against the
whites in a region where the climate
and conditions, etc, are of all those
which the country affords the best
suited to its development. In but three
decades-that is, from 1900 to 1880, dur
ing part of which time the slave trade
was in progress - has the colored
race increased more rapidly than the
white. Since 1880 the whites have
steedily increased at a more rapid rate
than the colored people. This increase
has not been effected by the aid
of immigration, for with the ex-
ception of Kansas and Missouri,
these states have received compara-
lively few emigrants either from foreign
countries or from the northern states.
Similarly, the proportion of the colored
inha bitants to the white increased some
what between 1900 and 1880, but since
that time it has steadily diminished. In
1880, when the proportion was at it's
maximum, there were nearly six col
ored inha bitants to ten white, but this
proportion has been reduced to trifie
more than four at the present rate, or
by nearly one-third of its amount. ''The
deficiencies of the ninth census" says
Mr.. 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 population of the sew
eral states under consideration:

TRUCK FARMING.
An Important and Growing Industry, but

An Important and Growing Industry, but
Novices May Not Achieve Success.
1t sometimes happens that factory
employees, or clerks in city stores and
people in similar occupations, come to
the conclusion that they could make a
living much easier by growing vegeta-
bles for market than in their legitimate
calling. The supposed independence of
the soil worker is a great temptation,
and success seems SO certain and easy
from the instructions they have read in
horticultural books and papers, that the
next thing we receive a letter some
thinG like this: 81 have twenty-five
acres of good, tillable ground, six miles
from market. What would be the best
thing for me to turn my attention to,
to make the most money? | am not a
pra' tical farmer or gardener, but am
willing to learn" Or perhaps the
letter reads: Il am a young man,
CLERK in a store, without practical
exl .rience in gardening, but have read
SOL Z books on the subject, and horti-
cul ural papers, and tried to study up,
wi. i the idea of growing vegetables for
market. How many acres will it take
to afford a man a decent living and a
little to lay by for a rainy day? What
arc the most profitable crops. What is
the best location?"
OF course, we can not give definite re-
plies to such questions, simply because
it would be nothing more than shooting
in the dark, and because we would be
more liable to do mischief than good by
any attempt to give definite answer
Success in market gardening can not
be attained without great deal of ex-
perience and hard work, and proper re-
gard for surrounding conditions and
available markets. What would paw
largely in one place might result in loss
in another.
Before any one could engage in mar
ket gardening with any prospect of
making fair living by it, he must learn
by practical experience how to produce
good vegetables in the cheapest way;
and when he has learned this, he should
study his available market and see what
produce his market demands. and then
try to grow just that produce, and to
dispose of it to the best advantage
Skill, good judgment, perseverance and
great deal of experience, with hard
work, are indispensable requisites of
the business. The only way to success
for young man leads through an ap-
premiership in the employ of good and
successful gardener near large mar
ket. The smart" young fellow who
imagines that his smartness and educa-
ton will serve him in place of practical
invariably comes to grief
when he embarks in business as COM
plicated as that of market gardening

An AmfcabIe Settlement, Out of Court,
Probable as the Result of a Recent Con-
ference.
WASHINGTON, March est is stated
that it is probable that the case of the
Canadian sealer Sayward will not be
called for trial in the United States
supreme court, as originally intended.
This is said to be the result of a con-
ference that recently took place in New
York between Mr.. Choate, the leading
counsel for the Canadian government,
and a member of the present admins
tration. The subject was discussed at
length, it is said, and it is understood
that when the representatives of the
two governments parted, way was
clear to an amicable settlement of the
difficulty.
The attorney general is not in posi-
ton to make any overtures in that di-
rection, except under certain contin-
gencies. and in the meantime he proposes
to prepare for the trial. Under any
circumstances continuance of week
or more will be requested for the gov
ernment, as the attorney general can
not until then obtain the necessary docu
ments from the Alaskan court.

Seventeen Car Loads of Sugar Destroyed
by Head End Collision.

HoRNELLsvILLE, n. Y, March 27.-
Late Tuesday night terrific head-end
collision occurred near Whitehouse,
west of this city, on the western division
of the Erie, by which seventeen car
loads of sugar in bond was entirely de-
stroyed. The sugar train was making
passenger time as the second sec
ton of No. 1. At Whitehouse, on
very sharp curve, the headlight
of an approaching train was seen
little ways ahead on the single track,
and nothing could be done to avert tha
collision.
