NO HAITI IN CUBA.

Plans for the first American census
of Cuba are supposed to be well under
way, and a similar proposition is on
foot in Porto Rico. The Importance of
the results thus to be obtained in each
island will require no demonstration
here. Indeed, the possible consequences
already form, a topic of current discus
sion. In each case, the census need be
only of simple character. An enumera-
ton of the population by sexes and by
races, a reasonably accurate account
ing Of occupations and the percentage of
illiteracy may be mentioned as among
the leading facts to be scheduled.
There has been no census of Cuba for
twelve years, but the last Spanish en-
umeration gave a total of 1000. 900
people, OF whom about IS per cent.
were whites. Judging from the orlin-
airy results Of Spanish work, no conf
dence is to be placed in these figures.
either as respects the total number of
persons or the race proportions. Even
allowing for the devastation of war, if
there We're 100000 people in Cuba.
twelve years ago, there should be at
least as many now. Competent judges
in Havana, however, assert in all prob
ability there are in the island not more
than 1,25OooO people, of whom 400, 900
are adult males, and of the
latter $4,000 are. Spanish whites,
while 100000 more are half
breeds, leaving about 100000 adult
males to the colored race. On this
basis, not more than so per cent. of the
population are of white or mixed breed.
and the remaining half are absolute
blacks.
There should be no surprise if con-
trary to the Spanish count, 1t turns out
that the blacks are actually in a ma
Jority in Cubaf but the fact is already
being taken up by opponents of the adj
ministration as an argument against
its declared policy of giving the people
chance at home rule, or even of indie
pendence, If that is desired by them
The old cry of negro domination mas

desirable to restrict the suffrage in the
island (and restriction is not unknown
even in Massachusetts,, an educational
test would be adequate to meet the exig-
ency, and 1t would be made to apply
not to one race, but to all. Under such a
system, there need be no bugaboos
about another Haiti" nor need the
south complain. On the other hand, it
might be useful object lesson.

The Boston Journal makes an effect
Dingley tariff 1t notes that since
March the customs receipts have
amounted to $103, 900, 900, or more than 25
per cent in excess of receipts under the
German Wilson law of unpleasant
memory. The daily average for the past
six months has been 100000, or about
100000 more than the conservative es-
innate. No such result could be
brought about except by generous in
crease of imports, and an inspection
of government reports shows that there
has been an important increase in i'm
portations of manufactures and raw
materials that do not enter into compe-
tition with American products The
expectation of American manufactures
has reached unprecedented proportions,
while the importation of foreign manu-
features has been, on the other hand,
reduced The importation of foreign
woolens, for example has fallen from
S49, 100000 to S14,000,00 and there has
been significant decline in imported
manufactures of fibres. wood, iron,
steel, leather and tin plate On the
contrary, the increase of imports is es-
pecially noteworthy in the case of raw
silk and other fibres. crude india rub
Der and block tin In short, the Ding
ley tariff is doing all that was predict
ed of it, towards protecting American
industries, deriving the needed Gus
toms duties from articles not Compel
ing with American products, and ex-
ceeding all expectations as a revenue
provider.
