Human prev Of wild Animals,

The report Of the government Of In
dia for 1889 shows that for that year
25.587 human lives fe'l a prey to wild
animals. BY far the largest number
24,621-were killed by snakes. Tigers
were responsible for 500 deaths, wolves
for 33S, leopards 325 and 1,4O2 were
killed by elephants, hyenas, jackals
and crocodiles together. The deaths
due to serpents were much more nu,
merous than during preceding years.

GEORGLA,S UNPUBLISHED RECORDS

FAIR DISCUSSION.

II is the policy Of The Journal to keep its
columns open for the fair discussion Of
public questions.
Its own views are presented in its edi-
torials, but it does not believe that it is
right for a newspaper to shut of those
who differ with it on matters Of public
concern.
The privilege thus offered must. of
course, be subject TO reasonable limita-
lions OF space and style. Those who desire
to accept II must make their communica-
lions as brief as they can and must employ
argument or suggestions instead OF pas
sion and abuse.
The Journal often publishes i'm the same
issue conflicting views on the same ques-
ton. thus giving its readers the oppor-
tunity TO consider the reasons on both
sides.
For example. the Rev. Sam Jones and
a number OF other valued correspondents
have been recently carrying on I'm the col
umns OF The Journal a lively and inter
estIng discussion on the subject OF public
schools and pensions. N printing the views
Of these correspondents The Journal in no
instance intends to imply that It agrees
with the writer's. but believes IL Is fair to
let them participate in the discussion.
Thes Journals own views on these and
all other public questions viii ever be
found in the appropriate columns.

AN IMMENSE SHORTAGE.

1t was known long before the Pan-Am-
erican exposition closed that it would not
pay out. but there is general surprise that
its expenses exceeded it's receipts by more
than SS.5Oo.OOO.
The exposition was pitched and carried
out on a magnificent scale. and its patron
age fell far short of what was reasonably
expected.
This was due TO the fact that so many
great expositions had been held in this
country during the previous few years.
Another reason Of the financial failure
Of this great enterprise was the fact that
the countries of Central and South Amer
lea did not encourage and participate in
Il as they were expected to. and as several
of them had given assurances that they
would.
The Pan-American exposition, in spite
Of its big name. was, strictly speaking, a
local enterprise. True. IT was by far the
most comprehensive and magnificent show
that any city ever presented, but the lack
OF any national feeling back Of it had a
great effect in limiting the extent and
variety OF its attractions and attendance.
In the splendor Of electrical display the
Buffalo exposition surpassed by far any
thing Of the kind ever seen before. not
excepting the Columbian exposition, or the
last worlds fair at Paris.
1t is to be regretted that the public
spirited citizens OF Buffalo who subscribed
so literally TO the fund for this great ex-
position and bought its stock and bonds
are TO lose all they put up, but their city
and the country at large to some extent
have been benefited by the investment.
II is estimated that s175,OO0OOO was
brought directly to Buffalo by the expo
sition. and the people of that city received
hack from many sources a large part Of
what they contributed to the enterprise.
There is talk of appealing to congress TO
pay the debts of the Exposition company,
but little probability OF the success of
such an effort is apparent.

the ways of civilized Democracy. But it
seems that while great praise can be
shown for the education and refinement
of the people in distant states, he can't
stand the toll in Georgia, which is re-
auired to keep up these highly esteemed
things at home-wants them to keep up
outside of Georgia by somebody else, and
he can slip off on a free pass over an
educated railroad; and thus enjoy free,
these elements of civilization-take up a
collection: return home, and fling mud all
over the Georgia legislature and the good
people of the state for wanting him to
divide the collection, so that we who can't

1t is charged that the white man in
Georgia is Indifferent to schools. This is
a mistake. The well-to-do farmers are
finding out that, in order to keep up the
value of their lands and have help con-
venient, that free schools are necessity
to keep the people from moving to the
cities and towns who are doing so as fast
as possible in order that they may edu-
cate their children. The people in the
country want nine month schools, and
they are going to have them some OF these

INTERESTING CENSUS FIGURES.

The great mass Of Information that was
accumulated I'm the census taken last
year contains much that is very interest
ing and it is being given out in series
OF bulletins before its final compilation
and publication as whole.
one of these bulletins of recent date
gives the figures regarding SEX race ana
nativity.
We find that we have still a majority OF
males as we have always had.
In 1900 our population consisted Of 49,
go 2Gs males and S7.244,145 females, the
former constituting SD per cent. Of the
whole. Strange to say that while the rel
alive number Of women was greater than
Il was in 1880 it was less than in any pre-
vious census for fifty years.
The increase of population from 1880 to
1900 was 1885 or p per cent. Of which
6.Tl4.I7s were males and 6.4Ss.452 females.
The number OF males increased 29.s per
cent. and the number of females 21.1 per
cent. The figures as to nativity are in
teresting. OF the total population Co.
$3.50 were native born, and 1O,4SO,0s5 were
foreign born. The foreign born element
was 1871 per cent OF the population in 1900,
against AT per cent in 1880.
II viii be observed that we are becoming
more American instead of more foreign,
as many persons suppose.
IN June, 1900. we had &C. 500 white per-
sons and ss12,5S5 not white. OF these s.
sIo,TS were negroes. 11s,O5O Chinese, S5,sSs
japanese, and 266 760 Indians. The num-
Der Of both Indians and Chinese decreased
between 1890 and 1900 while the japanese
increased to a remarkable extent.
The census shows the utter fallacy of
the notion somewhat generally held, that
the negroes are increasing more rapidly
than the whites. for while the latter in
creased 11.s2461s. or 21.4 per cent, the
coIored population as a whole, increased
l.4Os.01s, or only lis per cent.
The colored population constituted 12.5
per cent Of the total population in 1890 and
only 12.2 per cent in 1900. The negroes in
creased 1.s52,OO1 between 1890 and 1900, or
ISL per cent while the japanese increased

country decreased IT'S. or 81 per cent,
and the Indians 25 per cent.
Census figures are by no means the dry
things that some superficial persons con-
slider them. onsthe contrary, they AFFORD
much material for thought and reflection.
Properly studied they give a large in
sight into the condition. tendencies and
prospects Of the country.
