Negroes Who Pass For Whites,

At the census of 1880 nearly "a per
cent Of the colored population was un-
der 10 years of age, while at the census
of 1890 only % per cent was under 10
years of age. Samuel E. Tatum, a
Washington negro, in explaining this,
says: "It may be fact that the colored
population is constantly falling off in its
increase, for which there may be great
many reasons. We should first take in
to consideration the vast number Of peo-
pie of color leaving the race yearly.
There are thousands who emigrate from
the south so light in complexion that il
the north they are supposed to be white,
and in this way vast number of fam
lilies in the course of a decade lose their
identity as people of color."-Washing.

The Growing European Crisis Greatly Ag-
Eravsted by Italy's Condition.
1t is the Italian situation which most
directly threatens in this growing Eu.
ropean crisis. France has shown sur
prising and most creditable restraint
during the past two weeks. Her ambi-
tious purpose has not been misjudged by
those who have seen the sinister designs
behind her protestaticns of peace, but
she is wise enough to know that the hour
for the execution of her plans has not
quite come. But If Italy assumes an ag.
gressive part she will play into French
hands. France is ready, and with her
new ally at her back will rejoice if one
of her adversaries will assume the re-
sponsibility of making the attack.
The situation in Italy does not i'm
prove. 1t has become intolerable, and
some violent result of the crisis seems
inevitable. There is some truth in the
statement that the trouble is caused
more by moral than material decadence

Giolitti's government recognizes the
truth of this observation, and it is this
fact which gives color to the reports
that the present ministry has been con

THE CLEVELAND IDEA.

A committee of experts OF the Repuo-
Iican club of the city of New York have
been considering the tariff bill proposed
by the Cleveland Reform club: and the
measure is found to be a counterpart OF
the Walker tariff of 1916. The commit
tee find that the bill is framed with the
object of the largest possible revenue
without regard 10 American manufatur-
ing interests. the authors claiming that
american manufacturers are not en-
titled to any protection against natural
foreign competition" Of course under
such a bill Iabor-wages would fall one
hundred per cent because of the with
drawal of the home demand for employ
ment. Such a bill, if passed 10y Mr..
Clevelan's extra session, would seem to
insure financial, industrial and CONNER
cial depression, if not ruin. America
would be compelled under it to adjust
all her affairs to an English basis. The
bill would not only reform the present
tariff laws OF this country but revolu-
tionize them.

AN ENCOURAGING COINCIDENCE.

The announcement that the pope will
shortly issue an encyclical urging general
disarmament among the European ma
tons comes with remarkable apparent
opportuneness with the refusal of the
German reichstag to pass the bill pre-
pared by the government for the further
amplification of the military arm.
The army bill, with its increased de-
mands upon the people, was assumed by
the government to be necessary IN order
to maintain the military power OF Ger
many as compared with that Of other
nations of Europe, notably France and
Russia 1t has been the policy OF the
government, therefore, TO create alarm
at the attitude and proves OF other ma
tons hostile to the German nation. by
the defeat of the bill it is made manifest
that these endeavors failed TO convince
ohe reichstag that there is danger OF an
assault. The fact that the people are
weary of militarism and that other
German states are jealous of Prussia IS
made clear by the governments failure
to secure the passage Of the army bill.
As far as the German empire IS con-
cerned. therefore, more opportune
time could not be found OF desired than
the present to promulgate such recon-
mendation and follow 1t up with mis-
sonary work in the interest of peace and
the tightening Of the great burden upon
the people. And it is fair to assume
that conditions are similar in all nations
of Europe-a5 least to the extent OF a
desire for peace and a relaxation Of the
military grasp and burden.
