Population Of the United States.

The Census Bureau has issued a
bulletin showing the population OF
the United States by sex, general
nativity and color for 1900 OF the
total population there were 80, 059, 242
males aud 1924, 145 females The
native element numbered 65,843, 1902
and foreign born 1890, 0S5 OF the
colored population there was a total
of 9.312, 1856, divided as follows: Negro,
8,S40, 7S9; Chinese, 19,050; Japanese,
IS, 9S6, and Indian taxed, 137, 242; I'M
taxed, 129,51S. There has been prac-
tically no change in the proportion
of sexes since 1890. The foreign born
element has increased since 1890 only
1875 per cent. of its former number,
as against 225 per cent. in native
born gain. There has been slight
decrease during the past ten years of
persons of negro descent, the pros
portion now being 11.6 per cent. In
1890 it was 11.9 per cent. Chinese
show loss. Indians have decreased
2 per cent.

Roosevelt Entsrtains a Negro at Din
ner.

President Roosevelt greatly sur
prised his Southern friends by iuvit
| ing Prof. Booker Il. Washington, o
Tuskegee Institute, to dine at thu
White House last week. Washington
went. There were no other guests
Indignation Is expressed among
Southern men generally that thu
President should, ia the face OF hi
declaration, OF friendliness toward
the people of the South, take THU
early opportunity to show such G
marked courtesy and distinction to 6
colored man.
What effect the dining OF Wash.
ington by President Roosevelt is 60
ing to have upon his Southern policy
remains to be seen. A few days ago
when a delegation OF Southern poll
ticians called upon the President in
con nection with a Federal appoint
ment, he took occasion to remark
that 1.-The color OF a mans skin should
not operate to his advantage or dis
advantage In an appointment or a
removal from Office " President
Roosevelt apparently intends to APP
| ply the same rule at his dinner table
and exercise his Independence in the
selection OF his dinner guests.
Many of the men who have talked
with the President on the situation
ia the Southern States have gone
away from the White House COR
WINGED that he does not appreciate
how impossible it is for the white
man of the South to place himself on
personal equality with the negro
| 1t is for this reason that 1t has been
more that once suggested to the
President that in the event OF a
change in the personnel of the Cabi-
net it might be to his advantage to
select a representative from the
South to help solve the race problem.
Southern men in commenting on the
Washington incident, declare that
the President does not and cannot
understand the bad effect the invit
ing a negro to dinner will have on
the attitude of the negroes of the
South toward white men, their wives
and families.
INQUIRY shows that Washington
was treated like any other guest at
the Presidents table. Some callers
remarked within the Presidents
hearing that they feared that the
episode might cause the Administra-
ton and the Republican party in the
South embarrassment, but, so far as
can be learned, the President made
no comment.
In connection with the Booker 7.
Washington incident an occurrence
ut Albany during Mr.. Roosevelt's
term as Governor will be recalled at
this time. A young colored man who
sings baritone in st. Georges Church
in New York gave concert in AL
bany. When he got to Albany all the
hotels were shut to him. He had no
place to go. Governor Roosevelt
heard of this and sent for the young
singer and invited him to the Execu
tive Mansion, where he was lodged
and fed during his stay in the State
capital. Sun.
1t is stated that President Roose-
velt's answer 20 the Southern critics,
who are angered because he invited
Booker Il. Washington to dinner,
will probably be found in similar
invitation to some other colored men
in the near future.

II Democrat and you are disposed
to find fault with the Constitutions
Convention, because it Is not doing
its work as. fast as you may think Il
should or il it is costing more money
than you may think is necessary
has il ever occurred to you, that the
men who make up that body are
among the ablest in the State anc
were selected by the people as theil
representatives because Of their con
fidence in them as men of the strict
est integrity ;that they have interests
at stake perhaps equal to yours and
know that in promoting your inter
ests they necessarily help themselves
that each of them has a reputation
to sustain and naturally will desire
when returned to their homes, to be
able to give a good account of his
stewardship to your If worthy OF
your confidence when you elected
them what have they done to forfeit
it,
II you complain ofithe time they
are taking in dischargiDg the duties
entrusted to them, it is sufficient
answer, that the limit has not yet
been reached by several months, 10
which similar conventions remained
in session-that time il necessary If
you would have them draft al
organic law which will meet the re.
auirements of the best interests of
the people of the State. II you COM
plain of the cost Of the Con-
vention, it is a sufficient answer,
that while they are spending your
money and it may seem to you to be
a large sum, you will be greatly ben
Gifted, if when the new Constitution
goes into operation more Is saved to
you annually, as is proposed, than
they are spending now. Undue haste
on the part of the members would
not only be unwise but absolutely
foolish. That The Republicans say to
the contrary, Of course, is only in
tended to deceive and mislead you.
Nor will any Democrat be deceived
by them or be induced to stay away |
from the polls on the 5th of Novem- |
Der who will give the matter serious
thought. There is nothing in the
record of Hampton Hoge to CON-
mend him to them or in the record |
of the Republican party in the past
to entitle it to their confidence or
support. No Democrat surely can
be long in making a choice between
Montague and Hoge, or ought to be
so blind to his interests as not to be
able to see the folly of voting to
place the reins of Government in the
hands OF an Executive who would do
all in his power to prevent the re-
forms from being carried out now
contemplated by the members of our
Constitutional Convention.

1.-The Democrats have decided
upon two things in reference to the
great question OF suffrage now being
considered In the Constitutional Con
ventioD," said Congressman Claude
A. Swanson, in a great speech to q
great audience in the Assembly Hall
at Roanoke Monday night.
"The party has decided" he con-
tinued, first, that not single white
man in the State OF Virginia shall
lose his right to vote, second, that
we are going to disfraLchise, and
strike down every negro possible
without taking away the vote OF a
white man now entitled to the bal
lot
Assurances to same effect and no
less emphatic than the above also
have been recently given by Hon
John Goode, president of the Con-
ventioD, by Hon. A. ]. Montague,
Democratic candidate for Governor
and by Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson,
chairman of the Democratic party.
All Democrats in fact, in and out OF
the Convention, say that no white
man will be disfranchised by that
body and all statements to the con-
trary, therefore, may be accepted as
Incorrect and as made by Republi.
cans with the view OF misleading and
controlling Democratic votes In
tae light Of the above no Democrat
surely can be long In doubt as to his
duty or fail to cast his vote with his
party on the 9Th OF November.

Constitutional Convention

The Constitutional Conveniiol
Monday adopted resolution to tax
a recess from Friday until Novembe
IL, two days after the election. TIL
resolution provides that member
are not to receive pay during thi
recess.
The motion to reconsider the vot,
by which the convention decided II
favor of biennial sessions of the Leg
| islature has been withdrawn. tn,
agreement being made that the fight
should be resumed when the commit
tee of the whole reported to the con-
vention.
The Committee on Preamble and
Bill of Rights has held meeting and
reconsidered the vote by which the
Barbour resolution to regulate the
liquor traffic was reported favorably,
it being agreed that the resolution
was Injurious as party measure and
would tend to further confuse the
political situation, and for this reason
it was deemed wise to reopen the
matter.
The Constitutional Convention
has defeated the Withers resolution
providing for consolidation Of the
offices of Sheriff and Treasurer of
counties after a most stubborn fight
on the part of the advocates of the
proposition. The opposition to che
proposed consolidation was led by
three judges-Portlock, of Norfolk
county; Hancock, OF Chesterfield,
and Campbell, OF Amherst-and was
defeated by a vote Of 90 to SO.
The convention adopted Section 8
of the report of the Committee on
the Bill OF Rights relating to the
trial of accused persons pleading
guilty without the intervention of a
jury. This action permits the trial
by the judge of all persons charged
with offenses not punishable by death
or confinement in the penitentiary
The prisoner and the Common,
wealth's Attorney must, however,
consent to this and the matter be
made one of record.
The convention Monday, by a vote
Of So to II, adopted the amendment
offered by Mr.. A. G. Braxton to the
section dealing with freedom of
speech The entire section as adopt
ed now reads as follows; THAT free
dom of speech is one OF the great |
bulwarks of liberty, and can never
be restrained but by despotic gov
And any citizen may speak. |
write and publish his sentiments On
all subjects, being responsible for the
abuse of that liberty"
The concluding sentence is the
offered by Mr.. Braxtop.
The Quarles- Barbour resolution,
which was at first approved by the
Bill of Rights Committee, and after.
wards reconsidered will hear argu.
nent on the question, reading as
ollows:
1. No intoxicating liquors shall he

therefor first obtained.
Q No license to sell intoxicating
liquors in quantities of less than five

or period of more than twelve
months, nor without the written re-

sonpsud- Dessert.

The tribes on the coast of British Co
lumbia hold a festival in the autumn,
the crowning item of which is the par
taking OF few spoonfuls of bowl or
soapsuds.
They gather in the dingy huts, which
are hung with the staple food-dried
salmon NFor light they stick into the
ground. head downward. a silvery FISH
about five inches long. set fire TO the
tail. and they have torch. for the hsh
burns steadily.
After eating OF various unsayory
foods there comes the great treat. This
is a bowl Of a frothy. soapy MIXTURE
obtained by crushing in a not oYercleah
manner the sapoliti, or soap berries,
and squeezing out the juice. This is as
much like soapsuds as it is possible to
conceive. The natives sip 1t from
spoons Of black wood, neatly carved
of which they think great deal.

Life Insurnnce.

1t is an interesting fact that. what
ever the reason may be- life insurance
is much more popular in the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number Of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi-
sion for the families of the insured.
The scope Of what may be called bust
ness as distinguished from family in
surance is constantly charging. a nov.
ell and interesting recent development
of it is the insurance Of the lives OF
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World.
