Interesting Information Upon an
Important Subject.

Thu chief statistician of the census OIL
fce MIR. Walter f. Wilcox, who Is also
professor at Cornell University, mas
contributed to ethical and social lltera-
ture an interesting paper on negro
criminality.
He treats the subject with marked
rartiality and cand0r, and thus makes
valuable contribution to the discus
SION of political subject that is OF
greater Importance every day.
Using the figures of the United
States census of 1890, Mr. Wilcox shows
that in the southern, or former slave
states, there were in the prisons e
whites to every 10000 whites, and 20
negroes to every 10000 negroes. TAX
ing it for granted that this extreme
nreponderance of negro crlminality IN
the south was due to the fact that the
administration of Justice and the en-
forcement of the law in the southern
states is wholly in the hands of the
" mites. he eAdIlIlISd VIC ~ iAiiAA0i SbtN
tistlcs of the northern states for more
reliable information.
MIR. Wilcox's investigation demon
strated that in the northern states ~
1890 there were Il white prisoners 10
10 GOO white population, and 81 negro
prisoners to 10 900 of negro popula
lions In his own state OF New York
he found that the negroes In proper
tion to their numbers furnished five
times as many prisoners as did the
white population,
The census figures show that negro
convicts in the southern states 1ncreas-
ed between 1880 and 1890 % per cent.
In the states where slavery was never
esta bished the white prisoners IN =
crea ed Z per cent. faster than the
white population, while the negro
prisoners increased no less than 80 per
cent. faster than The negro population.
Thus The increase of negro crIminahty
so far as it is reflected in the number
of prisoners. exceeded tie increase OF
white crimInality mole In the north
than 1t did in the south,
That negro CriminalGy Is lnCreaslu
| in che United states is certain. How
Uluch 1t has increased since 1890 can
only be definitely shown by the census

And yet, the provision, facilities and
enterprises for the education of the
negro have been enlarged and made
theoretically more efficient every year
since the end If the civil war.
| A serious and pulling problem Is
suggested by this fact when taken in
connection with the facts presented by

General Buffers Dinners.

General Sir Redvers Butler is rich
man and a gourmet-indeed, some say
gourmand. Before leaving England, II
is said his chef planned for him dif~
ferent dinner daily for three months, the
menus comprising the rarest and costll"
est delicacies the French and English
markets could produce. Each dinner
was packed in a separate case. the covers
bearing The dates on which they were to
be eaten. And the chef has been in
structed to keep on providing the gener-
with daily feast as long as he re-
mains in south Africa. Since Butler
works hard and is PROFESSIONALLY an
able man, he probably has right to
feast at each dinner time if he cares to.
