answer to this question will be record.
ed. The census schedule will sbou
whether this family is white or coIored.
SO that 1t will be possible for the clerks
In the Census Off1se to count and sto..
tne precise number of homes, whetbs,
IN town Oh in the country, occupied bv
each race, and what proportion Of whits
and colered people respectively live in
homes which they have bought and
paid for, in whole Or in part. Ifspv
man has purchased and occupies q
house or farm for which he is still in
dsos, but has paid one or mere install
ments OF the purchase price, he should
report himself as an owner. Heis not
a renter or tenant,
The statistics Of ownership of homes
by colored people in 1900 will no doubt
be occasion OF surprise to many. The
gains made by them in industrial
knowledge and professional attachments
as reported in various recent conven.
lions and conferences held in the
southern States, will thus be made ap
parent to the whole world. 1t will be
impossible successfully to question or
refute the census figures These figures
will be made up entirely from tbe
answers to the snumerstors given by
the colorsd people themselves.
The statistics Of Negro farming will
also be separately given in the census
reports 1t is tbe desire of the govern
mens 10 find Gus the exact condition of
the race at this time, in order to be in

A NATIONAL RACE PAPER.

eohiA6to1, Ds W, oh tAC S1thJ oie'I
on the occasion of his seventh ami
versary as newspaper man at the
Nations Capital was rendered ban.
quet by number of the leading col
cred citizens of the Nation. Among
them were congressman, Ex Govern
ors, Elk United States Ministers, Pro-
fessiensl Educators, Lawyers, Doctors
and other represes tative mel assem-
bled at Washington on that occasion.
Mr.. Cooper is well known frem Maine
to California and from the gulf tc tae
sea, as the fret man to undertake to
establish an illustrated eolofed news
paper. That paper was the Freeman,
Of this city, at which time the present
publisher of The World was associated
with him. This paper he established
In 1888, and after running along for
several years, he found that the field
was not large enough, 30 he sold out
and renewed to Washington. d. q.
That field was already covered by
strong paper, the Washington Bee,
edited and published by that strong
and influential writer W. Calvin Chase,
who knows no master for bis pen.
But MT. Cooper sailed In, though the
prospect was discouraging, as In his
Judgment there were silver Things in
the clouds that Gverhupg the horizon.
From the day of its first issue his
paper has been one OF the most talked
about, not only in the Capital City,
but in the states. The thousands and
millions of voters in the many states
look upon his paper as q keynote and
pilst of the situation and their ears are
always to the ground to hear what the
Colored American will have to say on
all public questions. The Colored
Americans views are SO sought after
by the people in the different states,
that very often some Of the leadi
dailies eff the country will send in for
advance sheets to knew what the
American will say On pending ques-
tions. This, in our judgment, makes
The Colored American the lion Of the |
colored press field and the kiagbee of
cslored journalism. When the roaring
of this great nationol lion is heard, it is
known at once that there is something
wrong or right, as the case may be, at
the Nations Capital.
For these reasons, the distinguished
gentlemen mentioned above assembled
to extend to this newspaper genius of
celored journalism the tribute OF their
great admiration and appreciation.
They wanted to properly encourage
one who had proved himself equal to
go great an undertaking Mr.. Cooper
Is a genial gentleman, quick as 8 fash

likeness of him On its first page and

will show that every word we have
said was fully justified by the utter.
