His invention worked successfully. 1t
seemed to him almost miracle that the

he had made the discovery that 'Lecty
dearly loved the luxury that money
could buy.
He felt an almost irresistible impulse
to utter happy little hints to her Of what

lest there should be disappointment.
He took his completed machinery over
to Lawyer Perkins, at the Falls. The
lawyer understood about patents; he
was supposed to have made money by
them himself.
He seemed little doubtful at first
about the value of Andrews invention.
Washing machines had never been

Edif0ri0I Comment.
The White Race Gaining.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
The completion of the count OF popula-
ton of the United States by race shows
that the whites are more than holding
their own. Some of the earlier figures
by states made public few weeks ago
indicated that in parts of the country
the negroes were growing slightly faster
than the white population, but the count
for the entire country, which is now
completed. tells different story. In ITO
the negroes constituted 1857 OF the en-
tire civilized population of the United
States, or almost fifth. The proper
ton gradually shrank until it was l4.l3
per cent in 1850, just previous to the
war of secession. In 1870 the proportion
of the negro population of the country
was 1886, it was 1913 in 1880, LIB IN
1890 and 115S in 1900.
These figures will remove some dread
which was felt at one time. When the
census of 1880 showed that the negroes
constituted 1913 per cent of the coun-
try's aggregate inhabitants, as compared
with only 1886 in 1870, predictions were
made that many persons were then allve
who would see the blacks in the majority
in the United States. That was felt TO
be pretty serious situation. In looo
the race trouble in the South was in
much more disturbing condition than IL
is now, for the work of the reconstruction
of the southern states of the earlier
period had not yet been entirely undone.
The increase, or apparent increase, which
the negroes had made, relatively to the
whites, in the 10 years between 1870 and
1880, led many persons to believe that IN
a state of freedom for the entire race the
blacks would grow so much faster than
the whites, even with the re-enforce-
ment by immigration which the latter
was receiving, that they would be in the
majority in the entire country by 1881 or
1910, and that most of the northern
states would have by that time race
problem like that which was disturbing
the South then.
But the census report of the past 10
years of national enumeration shows
that this fear was baseless The 1913
per cent of negro population of the United
States in 1880 dropped to ll.93 per cent
in 1890 and to 1l5S per cent in 1900.
Louisiana, in which thesnegroes have
been almost constantly in the majority
in every census from the beginning, has
now become a white state. In only four
of the southern states-Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida and Mississippi-is the
proportion of blacks greater than it was
in 1890. In the old border states the
black ratio is steadily shrinking, while in
some of the northern and western states
it is slowly rising, though the relative in
crease there is scarcely perceptible. The
important fact, however, is that in the
country as a whole the whites are gain
ing faster than the negroes, and in
dications are that this white preponder-
ance will continue to grow even when i'm
migration, which is virtually all white,
falls off, This count of population by
race, now finished, is one of the most
important of the sociological features of
the census.

Labor-Capital Controversy.
A leading retail business man said
last night:
This is a bad state of affairs. l don't
know a bloom from billet, but | real
ize that this strike trouble is going to
hurt business. A man came to my
place this evening. paid his bill but
said he didn't feel like buying anything,
as he was paying ten per cent. of his
wages for strike benefits, and expected
to make it twenty in the next week. He
thought his present stock of shirts
would last him through this summer
and next, and that he could get along
without new pair of shoes until snow
fell ! sell shoes and shirts. There are
some thousands of people like that man
in this city and vicinity. Men in other
lines OF business will probably feel the
effects Of the coming strike as l will.
From me it will gadiate to others. It's
bad business, but l guess it can't be
helped"
