Mining Company Ia Many
Ways

Calumet may have street car line, but

Cuddihy, representiDgla syndicate which
intended to put 10 the line, had an inter
view with President Agassiz while he was
here last week, and that gentlemen gave
him little encOuragement, saying that il
would interfere with the mining CON-
pany in many ways and also stating
that they would not be able o. / elp the
project any. Without the consent OF the
Calumet and Hecs company 20 ron over
their property there might as we'll be no
line at all as % have one that would not
tOnch their property.
The syndicate thought that car line
would pay if properly run and since the
town as developed and spread out over
80 much more territory in the past few
years it seems plausible.
However, the matter will probably
be dropped for the present.

THE AMERICAN NEGRO.

About a year ago there appeared q book
| on Race Traits and Tendencies Of the
A merioan Negro,' by Frederick l. Hoff
man, which excited considerable interest
in SCIENTIFIC and economic circles Mr..
Hoffman arrived at the conclusion that ow-
ing to race traits and tendencies, the negro
race is,.iyiug out A brochure has recently
been pUbiishediby Kelly Miller of tins City.
| IN which Mr.. Hoffman S arguments are re-
futed-
| Mr. Miller finds that according to the
| census bureau, the rata of increase Of the
| white population of tIiis country from 1880
to 1890 was 1885 per cent. while the rate
| of the Negro was l3 81. This leaves out
OF consideration increase of the white popu-
lation by foreign Immigration, which was
| put down by Mr.. Hoftmaa in his tables as
| natural increase Another little point
| TO which Mr. Miller calls attention is that
the death rate of the negro in five pre-
sentative Southern cities does not excee u
that of the German race in five German
| cities OF about the same Importance, and he
| inquiries hat race traits anu tendencies
i are at work III Mr. Hoffman own eoun try
| MIR. Hoffman has an iGea that the colored
! population of this country win eventually
be dcained off into the so-caIled Black
| Belt" and he is of the opinion That thus
segregated, the race will degenerate for
want of the uplifting contact with the
white race. Mr. Miller remarks in this
| connection: Just how far personal and
| seryiIe contact can elevate the moral and

race can best be brought TO high mental
| and moral tone by being kept permanently
| IN the position OF servants has never been
exploited except in the case Of the Ameri-
can negro. and it is possible that the iln-
| Iroyoment made by him under these con
/ ditions has been in spite OF circumstances
| rather than because OF them.
| Mr.. Hoffman's took is taken up chapter
! by chapter, aud subjected TO critical
analysis. The brochure should be OF in
