For the Benefit of Brakemen.

On at least two occasions the President
has called the attention of congress to the
great loss of life and limb suffered each year
by railroad trainmen in coupling and brak-
ing cars, and recommended legislation with
regard to IL. Some months ago Senator
Cullom submitted bill in line with the
Presidents recommendations, but making
such provisions that. had the bill become a
law. every railroad in the country engaged
in interstate commerce would have
been bankrupted In paying for the
latest and most approved car couplers.
Senator Cullom's bill was referred to the
interstate commerce committee of the Sem
ate, which has held numerous meetings to
inquire into the subject of it aud receive
statements from parties interested in it.
The result has been the framing Of a bill
which the committee thinks comes nearer
meeting all requirements than anything
heretofore suggested.
In place OF having a commission decide
by competitive examination, as it were,
between the different car couplers as was
proposed in the original bill, the
present bill gives the railroads until
Jdus II AcS~t w ANYWAY AOA
selves which automatic coupler is the best.
One year from the date OF the passage of
the act the railroads are to report to the in
terst commerce commission the coupler
they will use. and on Jan. /, 1895, the
coupler in use by the railroads controlling
IS Der cent OF the cars used in interstate
commerce shall be deemed the standard
coupler. 1t is provided that the device
shall be one that couples automatically upon
impact and may be uncoupled without the
necessity OF persons going between the
cars.
The bill also provides that all locomotives
and freigh BIT cars shall be supplied with power
brakes, aud that after Jan /, 1898, 10 shall
be unlawful for any common carrier to
use In interstate commerce a train which
is not 90 provided with power
brakes lair brakes that il NAV be controlled
by the engineer without requiring the use
OF hand brakes. When any railroad shall
have equipped its locomotives and a suf-
fcent number of its cars to comply with
the terms Of the law. it may refuse to re-
ceive from connecting lines any cars not
sufficiently equipped with power brakes
and couplers 20 work readily and inter-
change with its own brakes and couplers.

The Third Party Candidates.

from the Wilmington IN c. Stdr (Dsn.L
The third party Is called tho Peoples party,
and is presumed TO be composed mainly OF
farmers and toilers who earn their bread in the
sweat OF their faces, including the patriots who
earn pretty big pay by working their jaws and
beating the air. That party don't profess to
have much use for lawyers, but it nominated q
lawyer for President and another lawyer for
Ia fact and the other by courtesy. Neither is a
farmer or in any way identified with the toiling
millions. Field has a little farm on which he
spends his leisure time. The nearest that
Weaver comes TO being farmer is that he has
devoted most OF his time for several years 70
raising Cain.

Facts and Theories Concerning the
Colored Race.

Facts and Theories Concerning the
Colored Race.
The census Office few dEys ago issued q
bulletin on the subject Of the oolored popu-
lation Of the United States, showing the
number Of persons OF African descent" in
all Of the states 10 be 40, 040 at the time
the census was taken in 1890. This is an in
crease OF SS9, 247 persons, or 1851 per cent. 3,
over the number shown by the census OF
1880. During the decade between 1870 and
1880 there appeared to be an increase Of
34.S5 per cent. in the black population, and
a comparison of the reports of 1880 and
1890 would appear TO indicate that the black
race is rapidly declining, and will.
If nothing occurs to check the de-
cline, go the way of the American
Indians. The bulletin shows, however,
that IL will not do to compare the percent
age Of the census of 1890 with the percent
age OF the census Of 1880, from the fact that
an abnormal increase during the decade
from 1870 to 1880 was shown, due to the i'm
perfect enumeration Of 1870 In the southern
states, upon which the percentages Of 1880
were based.
Contemporary writer's hold that the
negro is losing ground In this ooun-
try. In q recent number Of the Arena
magazine, Mr.. F. L. Hoffman discusses the
birth and death rates Of the blacks, and
gives statistics to show that their NOR
tality is increasing so rapidly that it is
simply q question Of time when the race
will come 30 a standstill. il not decrease
In numbers. From the report Of
the Alabama bureau Of vital statistics, and
reports from the cities of Savannah, New
Orleans, Washington, Richmond, Memphis,
Charleston, Atlanta, Wilmington, and 9TH
ers, Mr.. Hoffman finds that the death rate
per 1000 whites for number of years was
1851 and of the blacks 3l.60, or nearly
twice that of the whites. He finds the birth
rate of the blacks slightly higher than that
OF the whites, but says the difference is not
great enough to offset the heavier mortality.
Backed by census tables and these city re-
ports he says that the death rate has been
increasing more rapidly than the birth rate
since 1880. OBSERVE tions among the black
families seem to contradict the assertion,
but the actual figures show that the funeral
Is more frequent than the christening.
From the records Of the United States
army be obtained statistics showing that
under the same conditions of life negroes
die faster than white men. The reports
show that during twenty years the death
rate per 1000 was SO for colOred troops
and II so for white.
In recent issue of the Forum magazine
a writer takes pretty much the same view
Of the subject, and asserts his belief that
''ths time will come when the negro will be
pushed to the outer wall OF civilization by
the superior force and vitality of the Anglo
Saxon."

Happy czarl DR.. Talmage likes him,
and snys he is a good, mild-mannered man.
Happy Talmage! He has visited the Rus
sian autocrat and escaped without having
had even so much as a sermon conhscated.
Probably this, and the fact that the great
Brooklyn preacher rode In one OF the en-
perors carriages to the railway station, had
much to do with the formation Of this
opinion of the royal family which DR.. Tai
mage gave out for publication a few days
ago: II found" says the doctor, 1.-THE car
and his family especially genial, artless,
and sympathetic. judge from his ques-
tons that the car Is more interested In re-
ligion than in politics. believe that he is
doing the best possible for his people.
although naturally we cannot expect him
to keep all the people Of bis immense realm
In hand and mold them to his will. The
czsrina reminded me Of the Princess Of
Wales, as | told her. She has no air of
arrogance, but is simplicity personifed.
She introduced US to the children, who are
80 full OF life and fun, of unaffected boy
hood and girlhood, that l almost romped
with them. After dinner the cars car
Fiage took US to the station"
DIR. Talmage has possibly been fascinated
by the splendor of royalty. His picture Of
the car Is one that will strike the American
public as novel Poulteney Bigelow, Fred
erick Remington, George Kennan and
others who have had to do with the Russian
ruler through his representatives, would be
hard to convince that Alexander is an art
less and sympathetic ruler, who is doing the
best possible for his people As they lead
their readers to think Of the car, he is
an ogre, constantly repeating q
fe-fo-fum. and smelling the blood of an
Euglishman, Hebrew, or any other person
upon whom be may work his royal will that
they die or go to Siberia to work in the
mines.
1t is pleasant to think that the car, .
maligned man who has not been understood
heretofore, has been set before the " orld in
his proper light by an American. But then
there is a possibility that the eminent
Americans love for beautiful word painting
has led him to describe only that part OF
the character OF his erstwhile host that is
apparent only to casual visitors Of prom
inence.

to his guest, snd declared that the worst
trouble OF his old age was that he should be so
inordinately long in departing life.

Mr.. Watson professed to speak as rep
resentative Of the state of Georgia" the
oSaer day when defending his attack on
congress. But he represents. at present,
nobody but himself. He was sent 70 con-
gress as democrat by democratic voters.
But having deserted the party that gave
him preference, he cannot claim TO repre-
sent the Georgia democracy. He was not
elected by the third party. or the Rspub-
lican party. hence be cannos claim 60 repre-
sent either OF those partieI In Georgia; aud
so it must follow that he represents nobody
but himself and nothing but the gross
error of the Tenth district In sending him
TO take Alexander H. Stephens seat. IL
the Peoples party should return Mr.. Wat
son to congress, he would have a right to
claim that he represented Georgia, to a
limited extent. But at present he has no
right to claim any such thing.
