A council OF ministers and laymen OF the Presby-

Angellni Society in the Second Presbyterian Church
in Newark to-day the case of the Rev. Luigi
Angelina pastor OF the Protestant Free Church in
Forano. Italy The report will exonerate the pastor
from statements rejecting upon him.
Mr. AngelIn came to America several years ago
to collect money build church in Forano. He
married an American wife. and after the money was
collected the couple sailed for Europe. Some time
afterward stories circulated that the pastor
had built fine house in Forano and It was insnuated
that he was living upon the contributions he re-
ceiVed for church purposes from America.
The Angelni Society organized to support
the church, and 1t said that $4,000 had been
sent to Forano. The Newark Bureau OF Associated
Charities investigated the case. and has submitted
the results the church council. Neither the su-
perintendent nor the president. Dr. Laban Dennis
would say anything further about the matter.

Our Colored ulatiOn.

According to late report Of the cen
sus bureau, there is no danger that the
United States will ever be overwhelmed
by it's :, egroes. The black population is
increasing, it is true, but nothing like
in proportion as rapidly as the white.
The first reliable statistics which
DR.. Henry Gannett, the census ex-
aminer, finds on the subject are those of
1890. Then there were in the country
3, 172. 006 whites, 757, 208 negroes. From
that time on, counting in the slaves
brought into the country from Africa
and the increase in births here, there
was continuous increase till, at the
1890 census, the colored population
amounted to 7,47O,O49. In 1890 the
white population was in round numbers
100000. The negroes had increased
about tenfold, the whites eighteenfold.
In 1890 the negroes constituted one fifth
of the population, in 1890 less than one
eighth. The long line Of figures shows
that the blacks do not increase SO rapid
ly in freedom as they did in slavery-an
argument that may be used favorably
or unfavorably, according as one looks
at it. A large part of the increase dur
ing the early years of this century, how
ever, when the percentage was the great
est, was undoubtedly due to the slavo
trade. In the decade from 1850 to 1860,
when the slave trade had nearly ceased,
the proportion Of negro to white popu-
lation was 14.13 per cent. During the
first ten years Of this century it was over
10 per cent.
There was an apparent increase in
the percentage Of growth from 1870 to
1880, but that is now believed to be
due more to defective enumeration in
1870 than to actual gain in 1880. Dur
ing the last decade the proportion of
negro to white population was only
H.. 90 per cent. So that relatively to the
whites the negro population is now less
that two-thirds as numerous as it was
100 years ago. The statistician finds
that tie blacks mar" you're a@2d have,
