IT is pleasant to take notice that the
Pope Is disposed to do something for the
negroes and Indians of this country.
There is a fancy abroad that the Unite
States government has done considerable
for the colored man. First, in taking off
his shackes; second, in giving him the
electoral franchise and in other respects
lifting him to plane of equality with
his white brother. 1t is conceded that he
is not given chance to exercise all his
rights iu the South, owing to the unchari-
tsblene,s and brutality of people of that
section, and if the Pope can do anything
TO improve his condition in this respect it
will be good thing AS for the laws,
they are about all that the colored man
could ask, though there are many short
comings touching the execution of the
same. 1t is in this direction that help is
most needed. In regard to the Indians,
we are also doing considerable for these.
At the same time we are not repelling

huence of every church and creed should
be exercised in their behalf

Judges of Terrapin.

II doubt if there are hundred first
class judges of terrapin in the United
States" remarked a well known dealer in
game and fish. II know this because the
clubs, restaurants and hotels use vast
quantities of Texas, Florida and other
common terrapin and serve them as bona
fide diamond backs. The finest diamond
backs range in price from $40 to 500 a
dozen, and one terrapin, when properly
cooked, will make about three plates, so
that the cost of dish of stewed terrapin
must necessarily range from 81 to SO. 50
and whatever is charged above these fig
ures represents the profit. Many man
who smaoks his lips over the terrapin he
gets in restaurant doesn't know the diff
ference between that and mud turtle,
which latter, dare say, he often gets,
Terrapin is one of the articles in our bust

and has no seasons. s."-Philadelphia Rec

IT is very shrewd game that the Free

the Free Traders hope to score point
If Proteclionist leaders should be be
guled into suggesting possible details,
the Frpe-Traders would at once seize
upon these suggested possibilities as a
pledge of party action, If, as would un.
doubtedly be the case, Protectionist lead
ers should disagree in regard to some of
the details, the Free-Traders would cry
out that the party was disunited and
the leaders at odds with one another.

such a claim is, since there would be
difficulty in passing w0Ise bill, it is we'll,

According TO late report of the cen.
sus bureau, there is no danger that The
United Stat3s Will ever be overwhelmed
by its negroes The black population is
increasing it is true, but nothing like
in proportion as rapidly rs the white
The first reliable statistics which
Dr. Henry Gannett, the census ex-
aminer, finds on the subject are those Of
1880. Then there were in the country
3,172, 0O6 whites, 757, 2O8 negroes From
that time on, counting in the slaves
brought into the country from Africa
and the increase in births here, there
was a continuous increase till, at the
1890 census, tho colored population
amounted to 147O,O O40 In 1890 the
white population was in round numbers
60, 600, OOO Tie negroes had increased
about teufold the whites eighteenfold,
In 1890 the negroes constituted one fifth
of the population, in 1890 less than one.

that the blacks do not increase so rapid

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 slave
trade In the decade from 1850 TO $50,
when the slave trade had nearly ceased,
the proportion of negro to white popu.
lation was H.. 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 tc
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
II. 93 per cent So that relatively to the
whites the negro population is now lcs'
that two-thirds as numerous as it wa
100 years ago. The statistician find
that the blacks marry younger and have
ON the average, shorter lives than tn
! whites.
We are rather surprised to find fur
ther that the drift of the negro popula
tion is at present away from cities to
ward the country. At the same tim
they are moving from the border state
into the gulf states and those of th
south Atlantic border. Finally one re
grets to learn that the per cent of crimi
mails is greater among the blacks thai
the whites, while there are at least a
many paupers. But, on the other hand
school attendance is rapidly gaining
among the negroes.
