whose shocking crime is still fresh in
the minds OF the people, petition to
Governor Fleming implOring the exec
utive clemency has been prepared by
the attorneys for Maier, Messrs. G. W.

of a number of persons are appended to
the petition, among them those of the
jailer, two clersymen who have OBJ
served his actions, atfidavits OF women
in whose houses he has resided, and
others. The petition is also endorsed
by nearly every practicing attorney IN
the city Of Wheeling, and implores that
the punishment be committed TO I'M
prisonment for life.

Mrs Strehlein, OF Cincinnati, who have

half are here, doing all in their power

A housing Meeting of Union Club-Matters

The Union Democratic Club held large
meeting at Powels Hall last night with
President W. IL. Cullingworth in the chair.
The chairman explained that Dir. George
Wayne Anderson was expected 10 address

from the city.
The club then went into regular business
and received the reports of several commit
tees. IL WAS recommended and adopted
that the grand demonstration and hag-rais-
ing appointed for next Thursday be post
poned until September sth. The reason for
this postponement was to wait until after
the congre ssional nomination on the gth.

THE DISTRIBUTION or THE NEGRO
POPULATION.

HE Dbl h1DbllON VI AMI NEOhO
POPULATION.
The New York Sun has been going over
a bulletin recently issued by the Census
Office concerning the negro population Of
the United States and it has pointed out
some very interesting and remarkable facts
disclosed by it, some of which we pick out
and reproduce
1t shows that the old slave States contain
15,549,8 57 whites and 6, $50 l52 negroes, while
the other States contain 99494, 533 whites
and 5so,S8S negroes-that is, the negroes are
37.7 of the whole population of the South
and only l. A per cent of the whole populs-
tion OF the North. In South Carolina and
Mississippi the negroes largely outnumber
the whites. and they are about equal in
Louisiana, while in only two of the North
ern States does their ratio rise above per
cent These two are Kansas and New
Jersey, where the ratio is respectively 8B
and 35.
But the most interesting facts shown are
that the whites are increasing in the South
ern States more rapidly than the negroes
and that the negroes are leaving the border
slave States for the border free States. Dur
ing the decade from 1880 to 1890 the whites
increased in the Northern States at the rate
Of 27.9 per cent. and in the Southern States
at the rate of 1876 per cent. while the col
ored population increased in the Northern
States at the rate o<206 per cent and in the
Southern States at the rate Of 10 per cent.
The table does not show. however. the
comparative rate Of increase in those South
ern States whence there is little negro emil
grafton. which lie perhaps the most impor-
tant fact in the case.
The border free States show a noteworthy
fact In the border slave States Delaware.
Maryland, Virginia. West Virginia and Ken
lucky and the District of Columbia the
negro population has remained almost
stationary in the same decade. whilst in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana.
Illinois and Kansas. the negro population
increased in the same time at the rate of 1874
per cent, which was almost equal to the
rate, 21.6, ct which the whites increased
during the same time in those States.
1t is plain then that the negro problem is
settling itself so far as the border slave
States are concerned and that the border
free States will at no great distance of time
receive an infusion Of negro population that
will have a most material influence in de-
termining the policy that the United States
Government is TO pursue toward the South
ern States. If we can only hold our own
against weavers and force bills for few
years the South will be lett alone to man
age her own domestic affairs and we shall
then have peace and prosperity.
We regret that the Suns article is too
long to publish in full. but an article SO
thoughtful and full Of information as this
one docs credit to even the New York Sun.
