Relative Decrease Of Negro Population.

OF the figures showing our rapidly

Colored race in America was destined
to surpnss the whites in number and at
length dominate the continent. The
prospect of such a condition Of things
was seriously discussed by conservative
papers and able public men in the
North as well rs in the South. Less
and less frequently has this fear been
expressed in recent years. and the utter
groundlessness of il is We'll shown by

has been surprisingly small. In fact
in only four southern safes is the pro-
portion of negroes greater today than
in 1890. These are Arkansas, Alabama
Mississippi, and Florida. In many
northern states the negro population
has relatively increased. but as it is so
small part of the total does not
greatly affect general results. The
completed figures thus show that the
negro is losing his hold in the border
state region, and is moving either to
the cotton fields Of the Gulf or to the
great cities of the North.
The figures since 1890, showing the
percentage that the negroes have con-
stituted of our total population. are as

Fail Rivers Prospective Strike.

For the past month or two, since the
ii2zlc OF the .;cel strike left the in
duStiia l horizon without n Cloud. there
have been all sorts OF strike and shut
down rumors sent out from FAN River.
First tic mills were going to shut down
for an indefinite period then there was
to DO q general cutting down of wages.
and thea NJ G. d. Borden. the great
mill owner declared that instead Of
wages being cut they should be raised
and he accordingly raised them in his
mills. At once the operatives in the
other mills insisted that they should
also have higher wages. and a strike
was determined upon to accomplish
this result. The strike was to go into
effect. yesterday. but the leaders wise
ly changed their minds and the prom
ised strike. if not averted, is at least
postponed Il few weeks.
1t is a peculiar situation and hard to
understand outside. Mr.. Borden seems
the motives ascribed to him for raising
the wages in the mills. His action
stirred up the agitation for higher
wages in the other mills. Some regard
him purely in the light of q philan-
thrcpist or humanitarian. while
others are far less charitable The
conservative Springfield Republican
sees in his increased wages cold
hlooded business scheme and figures it
out this way. Borden has bought of
The other mills great stock of cloth,
which, of course. he wishes to sell. In
order to sell it and make profit there
must be IL demand that will advance
prices. He raises wages in his own
mill per cent. If all the other mills
follow suit. they canot afford to sell
cloth so cheap as he can sell his already
acquired stock. Then he will have
command of the market. But If they
decline TO raise wages and their mill
hands go out on strike. short supply
