will look with considerable curiosity
for tangible results from our branch of
the American populace, and, being in
the balance, so to speak, on trial be

hooves US to exercise every precaution
to see that the exhibit does us full JUS

citizens of the various states and terri.

Director Galloway. and aid him by
gathering up actual productions, Illus

We think it would be good idea to
designate some reliable person in each

Galloway, thus facilitating the ad'

OUR ONLY PLACE TO SECURE A HEARING

There never was a time when the
value of Negro journals was more con
clusively shown than during this civil
rights episode with the New Grand
management. In matters where color
is in question and a principle is in
volved which arrays white as class
against blacks as class, fair play can
not be expected at the hands OF our
Caucasian dailies, and we haYe not had
it in this case. When we are not ig-

The TWELFTH CENSUS.

The Twelfth Census is about to be
taken. 1t will be a contribution to the
history of the times. the value of which
is beyond computation. In scope o.
inquiry, and comprehensive collation. o.
results achieved by this nation in the
past ten years, it will exceed in inter
est any similar census yet made by
the American government. 1t is es
sential that great care be taken to guar
antee the correctness and reliability Of
the evidence thus gathered, for upon
the showing made through this Bureau
must rest our standing in the civilized
world. The country is indeed fortu-
nate in having at the head of this vast
enterprise man of such broad business
experience and sterling personal quail
tiles as Governor William r. Merriam.
He brings to the Office of Director of
the Census, the training of veteran in
matters of detail, executive ability rip
ened by the stern demands of the hust-
ling and progressive West, patriotism
and national spirit that admits Of no
question, and, not least in this category,
a sympathetic nature in which preju-
dice or na-rowness can find no lodging
place.
To our race this will be welcome in.
telligence, for the coming census means
much to US, both as to statistics and en-
ployment. We learn that especial care
will be taken to secure data which will
portray the Negro at his full value.
Tables will be prepared, and under
proper headings will be shown the
value and extent of our real estate
holdings, public and private buildings
and institutions, farm products, and
business operations. Inquiry will be
mac into our economic status, specify
ing how many persons are engaged in
professional and industrial occupations,
with income and character of work.
Our mortality record will be given
close attention. and the criminal Stats
tics will tell only the truth as shown by
the daily reports. To more widely il
lustrate the Negroes progress, there
will be published exhaustive state
ments, giving comparisons between the
figures of the census of 1890 and those
OF 1900.
In the matter of recognition in the
Bureau, we have no doubt the colored
people will fare well, and that We shall
be given more and better positions than
we received under the eleventh cen
sus. When the work is fully outlined
and the new building completed, the
anxious ones, who bear the proper Gre
ientials, will be made happy. All in
al, Governor Merriam's massive Blu.
reau gives promise Of much that is
cheering to the colored American, and
We bespeak for him most successful

GENERAL NHEELER'S BOOK
WILL CREATE CONTROVERSY IN
ARMY CIRCLES.
Simpsons chley Dispute VIII Sink
Into Insignflcance Before the New
Storm That viii Arise.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March &c.
If General Wheeler be wise he will buy
and burn every copy of his book on the
Santiago campaign, which has just
been issued, because If he does not it
will make him the victim of every Of
ficer who took part in the operations of
the Fifth army corps last summer.
Ever since the war the officers of the
regular army have frequently referred
to the little general as "a fake"-that
is, they have treated him as an impos-
tor and pretender. AS long as he was
satisfied to appear in the parades and
make speeches at banquets and boast
about his own achievements they were
willing to let him alone, but when the
president proposed to nominate him as
a major general in the regular army
they raised their hands and voices in
protest and threatened to expose him.
General Wheeler occupies in the
army a position very similar to that
occupied by Admiral Schley in the ma
Wy. He is popular idol, a man whom
the public delights to honor, who APP
pears on all occasions as an ideal SOL
der, but is almost unanimously anath-
ematized by his fellow officers, who eX-
press for him very little respect. When
the president was down at Montgomery
last December, General Wheeler
made a glorious speech which awaken
eu intense enthusiasm. GeneGal Law =
ton was called upon, as he concluded,
and with grim face said: Il am not
a speech maker, l am only a soldier.
l am not hero, / am only a regular"
And then he sat down. General Vince
Ter did not see the satire, but General
Shafter did.
General Wheeler's book is likely to
excite a controversy compared with
which the Sampson Schley dispute will
be only a whisper to a tornado, be-
cause he claims for himself all the
credit of the victory at Santiago. A
citizen of New Zealand who reads the
volume would suppose Wheeler was
the whole thing. Army officers who
have examined it critically claim that
he steals the glory which belongs to
Lawton, Sumner, Kent, Bates and al
most every other commander in Shat
ter's army and leads the reader to I'M
derstand that without him the cam
paign would have been an entire failure.
They say, also, that, in addition to be-
lifting the services of his associates,
the general is very inaccurate in his
statements, which, of course, will give
his critics opportunity to pound him,
and they will not fail to take advant-
age of it.

The rainfall for the last five years has
been insufficient. In illustration of the
effect of the drought on the sheep in
dustry, the colony lost during 1897 and
1898 about 100000 sheep.
The annual return of stock shows
that on January 1, 1899, New South
Wales owned only 100000 sheep, a
loss of 100000 during the year. In
1897 the decrease was 100000 head.
