NEGRO DEATH RATE.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun has gathered good deal
OF statistical information which convnces
him that the death rate among negroes
who reside In the cities Is considerably In
excess Of the birth rate, and he holds
that II not recruited by arrivals from the
country the negro population Of the cities
will rapidly diminish
Out OF sixty-six cities reported by the
census Of 1ooo-north, south, east and
west-the death ratio, among the negroes
Is found to be greater than the birth rate
In fifty cities. The remaining six cities
are nearly all small places, where the eS-
cess Of the birth rate may be accounted
for by an accidental falling off In the
death rate for that particular year.
In New England It Is shown that the
death Of negroes greatly exceed the
births. So too, in New York city, Chi
cago and st. Louis. In New Orleans there
were 1,735 births and $3.50 deaths Of ne
groes III 1900. making the excess OF deaths
1875. 1t is disclosed. too, that while the
rate of increase for the entire popula-
ton from 1890 to 1000 was 2O.7 per cent.
that for the negro population was but
1e per cent. The figures for the preced-
Ing decade are even more striking.
1t must be admitted, however, that
these exhibits from the census tables are
by no means infallible. They are the
best that can be had but we doubt not
they are full Of errors and omissions.
We suppose they are tolerably accurate
with respect to the cities, but they can
be little more than guesses in SO far $
they refer to most country districts.
However, we think there can be no doubt
at all that whatever increase OF births is
found in the negro population is in the
country and not In the cities. ~

Mr.. Brent Back-Messrs, Hawkins and
Mercer Are Coming.
Mr.. j. G. Eankins. who has been at

the Office OF the Secretary Of the Com
monwealth that he will reach this city

GET THE BEST.

We regret to hear that neither Mr..
Richard B. Davis nor Mr.. Charles T. Las
sitter, OF Petersburg. will stand for re-
election to the House of Delegates. Both
made excellent members Of the House,
and did the. State a valuable service.
We only hope that Petersburg will send
some representative equally as good.
In this connection we urge the Demo-
Gratis OF Richmond to exert themselves to
bring out the best men possible to rep
resent this city in both branches OF the
General Assembly Richmond owes this
to herself as we'll as to the State. 1t
is great sacrifice for many OF our
citizens to take a position of this char
actor. but good citizen Is always ready
to do his duty In public matters If Tits
possible for him to serve the public with
out too great cost to himself. But as
many men are too modest to seek office,
II their services are obtained it must be
through the request Of q consldera BILE
number OF their fellow-cltzens. Those
who have the interest of the State and
the city at heart should canvass this
question among themselves and take some
definite and organized action to induce
the best and most available mon to come
out.
In saying this We do not mean, OF
course. to reflect upon those gentlemen
who have been serving the city in the
General Assembly. We are simply urging
upon citizens generally that 1t Is their
duty to get the best, whether the best be
lncumhents or others.

the Keynote Of Major Tyler's fight
IRE was with extreme reluctance that
Judge lohlcgar consented to become

ton to the United States Senate IN 1905.
Martin men vied with Montague man to
induce Rim to consent to run. They were
seeking tho man, and did not stop to con-
slider where he stood on this question
we'll Knowing that Judge Phlegar would
do what he believed to be right, and his
duty as no has always done, and they
were perfectly wiling to trust MN.
The fact Is that the announcement OF
Judge Phlegar's candidacy was made
during his absence from homo, In q coun- :,
" remote from railroad. and no did
not know OF It until -four days after
wards Some OF his friends who had been
50 lnslstent for him to run took the lib
erty and responsibility to declare him
candidate. There were perhaps dozen
or more present when this determln 7Ia.
lion was reached, and possibly one OF
these Is a Tyler man.
Judge Phlegar Ia no mans candidate.
If the contest for tho United States SEN
ate in 1905 should not be settled BY q pri.
mary election then those whom he VIII
represent are content to leave the re-
nponsibillty with him, because they know
and believe he will meet It honestly and

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-In your leading editorial OF yes
terday YOU quote and comment on Mr..
Floods objections to the party plan OF
viva voce" voting. Much that has been
urged against this method Is true, but It
does not go to the bottom Of tho matter.
and az compared with tho ballot system.
ma conducted In one OF the Sonthslde
counties In the late primaries, the voting
by mouth is preferable.
The ballot system as pracuced In the
county alluded to was mockery ana
travesty Of justice and party and state
law. Does not the ballot system con-
template and require that the voting shall
be in secret? In the case In point this
was widely departed from. Voters were
met on the green, convassed and when
convinced that 1t would vote as desired,
were marched to tho voting place arm IN
arm. There was found man. not one Of
tho judges OF the election, with ticket IN
hand, who would call off the names and
do the marking. this being open and not
in booth, as Is provided for BY ballot
system.
This was practiced throughout the day
until all OF the Democratic vote. as IT 10
so called, both white and negroes, were
poled. Now, as between tho two sys-t
tens, which will an honest voter choose.
tho one that allows him to openly DE-
clare his choice. or the ono pretending
to DO ballot and not?
II this Is the system that 10 TO DC
allowed by the ballot vote. deliver US
from it. All that candidates VIII need
rnder It to secure nominations are skill.

count by the Judges will be apt to follow.
