Our COlOrcd Formulation.

The race problem bids fair to face this
country for many decades to come and,
while thoughtful minds have come to dis
count the dangers which have been pointed
out III connection with tho growth Of the
colored population Of the United States, tho
subject is receiving no small amount of at
tention. The student will find many points
of interest in a bulletin which has been
sent out by the census department, dealing
with our colored population.
The total colorod population, as returned
under the census Of 1890, is 1,63S 800. OF
this number no 90 are persons of Afri-
can descent, O1,475 are Chinese, 2,039 are
japanese, and S. SOC are civilized Indians
OF the whole number Of persons Of Afr-
can descent, 3 262, $50, or 43,6 per cent
are in the South Atlantic division of States
and 3, 419, Pol, or los per cent in the
South Central division of States and terri
torities, which includes Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Oklahoma Arkansas. OF the total
Chinese in the United States, SO, 844 or
| 80. l per cent, are found in the States and
territories comprising tho Western division
| This is also true for the japanese, there
being in these same States and territories
| 1853, or Is, 46 per cent, out of total of
! 2,039 Japanese for the United States as n
whole. or the civilized Indians, 81, S12, or
| a. 20 per cent, are also found in the West
ern division, and lG, 1,2, or 2S 20 per cent,
in the North Central division, mainly iu tue
States Of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Nebraska.
Considering persons of African descent,
there has been an increase from 1850 to 1890
of $50, 24T or 1851 per cent, as against an
increase during the decade from 1870 to
| 1850 of /, 200, Isl, or 3l.SJ per cent. The
abnormal increase of the colored population
of the South during the decade ending in
1880 led to the popular belief that the ne
groes were increasing at a much greater
rate than the white population, as shown by
the census OF 1880, was apparent only and
was due to the imperfect enumeration OF
! 1870 in the Southern States There has
! been an increase in the number of Chinese
in the United States during the decade from
| 1880 to 1890 of only 2.0lO, or l.9l per cent,
the number returned in 1850 being 100, 400
and the number returned in 1880 being
107, 40.
Nermonts colored population is not large,
the total in 1890 being put down MS 1904.
OF these 937 arc persons of African de-
scent OF whom 521 are black, SO
Chinese, japanese, and "a civil
lied Indians The increase in the
number Of persons of African descent in
| Vermont has been very moderate, and in
some decades there was a falling OH. IN
1880 they numbered us, in 1860 there were
800 in 1870 the number had increased tc
to 92i and in 1880 to 1857, while in 1896
the number had fallen to 937 Tho tota
increase Of our African population In forty
years has been only 217, which cannot b,
called alarming.

Secretary Elkins confidently expects to
see MIR. Harrison carry every State that he
carried in 1883 and two others-Connecti-
cut and West Virginia. In this connection
it is of in terest to note that the independent
Washington Post ventures the assertion that
there are at least two Southern States which
ARE doubtful this year-North Carolina and
Alabama, and 1t gives good reasons for its
belief.

experienced and thoroughly practical edi-
tor of the Maine Farmer, Mr.. Gilbert, says:
prof. W. w. Cooke of the Vermont ex-
pertinent station is one Of the most thorough
investigators in agricultural science that
we have at the present time connected wit
tho work. At the same time his work is
largely of a character intimately concerned
with the every day practices Of those whose
business is with the soil and the farm. OF
late he has given much attention to dairy
work aud to problems connected with the
feeding of farm stock. In this connection
he contributes to a late number OF Hoard 3

of the comparative value in the making of
milk Of the corn crop when preserved

Dnnkirk. Ind. Burned.

Two kilograms were received at Bell
aire, last night, to the effect that the
business part of the town OF Dunkirk,
Ind, was burning, and as there was no
means Of fighting fire in the town 1t bids
fair to be entirely consumed. Dunkirk,
which has a population Of about 1000,
is the location of the Enterprise Win
dow Glass Works, formerly OF Bellaire.
1t Is a natural gas town, and has had
quite boom, lately.
The following came by telegraph
later:
PORTLAND, IND, November 26.-At
half past eight the fire at Dunklrk was
still raging and threatens to consume
the entire town. Nine business hou ses
are already burned to the ground with
a loss of about seventy-fve thousand
dollars. The FIRE started in Weaver's
dry goods store and rapidly spread to
the surrounding structures. The fire
department is unable to control the
flames.
LATER.-The Dunkirk fire was got
ten under control at $3.50 after sweeping
path along the east side Of the main
street. The latest advices are that ten
dwellings and business rooms were de-
stroyed, entailing S75,O00 loss. The
town was without fire protection, and
Hartford City department went to the
scene.

rhe venerable Thomas b. Starlight, OF
Uniontown, Pa, Is writing Its history
At last we are to have history OF the
old National road.
Thomas B. Starlight, the well-known
Uniontown, Pa, attorney, has under
taken the work, and it is far on the way
to completion. Indeed. many or the
chapters are in type, and the completed
work will be ready for an eager public
in q short time. Mr.. Seabright has
written to his friend, DR.. j. c. Hupp,
for some missing data regarding the
Wheeling end of the line, and also en-
closed for the REGISTER several chap
tiers of the work, which show vast
amount of labor and OF careful research
for data, incidents and character
sketches Of the men whose lives were
spent along the pike in the old days OF
staging. Mr.. Seabright began his Work
at Baltimore and went over every mile
Of the pike between that city
and Wheeling, until he &C
cumulated large quantity OF
valuable material. This has been
written up In attractive style, and the
WOIk Will 10 uSbIdIC0 WttA AAohJ 80
tographs and sketches OF old taverns,
etc. This book will be awaited with
much interest in this portion OF the
country, as the Wheeling end OF the
pike is particularly rich in material
which should be incorporated in such
work. A chapter or two devoted to
the city itself, away back about 1880,
would also be a valuable feature, and
one may be incorporated in 1t. Whether
Mr.. Searight intends to carry his mar
rative to the pike on the Ohio side Is
unknown at this writing, but IL such
be his intention he will find a rich field
along the old road between Bridgeport
and Cambridge without going farther.
A number of the old taverns are still
standing along this line, and the remi-
niscences and incidents OF the stage
days between Wheeling and Morristown
alone would make bulky and interest
ing volume.
