SOLVING THE RACE PROBLEM.

Race problems are solved by natural
laws The now generations of negroes,
with their growing demand for social
equality will find the South uOtenahlc
for all such. They win emigratc 10
Northern States. They have been emil
grating for years, and the movement Will
constantly increase. In most of the
Northern States there is no legal bar 10
the m!ngling Of the two races. The new
er generations Of negroes will refuse 20
work on Tho plantation and will crowd To
tho cities. They will be Of no use In the
South and their exit will be FASTENED OH
every side. The resources and opportuni-
ties for labor and investment In the
South will attract classes that are willing
to work. and they will come largely from,
Northern States. BY n social endosmosis
there will be an interchange Of popula-
ton. and in that way the race problem,
will be solved by n diffusion Of the ne
Groes through the whole population. Fifty
years more will have elapsed before this
natural movement will be accomplished

THE FEDERAL STATUTES.
Radical Rcvision by Rcprcs cntntivc
Moons COmmittee-ChNnRcs In
judiciary Section.

Under the direction OF Representa-
tive Reuben o. Moon OF Philadelphia,
chairman Of the committee on revision
Of the laws Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and also chairman OF the
Joint committee on the same subject.
there has been published the volume
covering the penal statutes of the
United States. II is codifcation. re-
vision and addition to all the federal
laws Of the country, and Is the frst
Of three volumes to be issued by the
committee The next volume OF laws,
and II will attract great attention
when Il comes before Congress, VIII be
'"rhe Judiciary" Following this Will
he a third and last volume on admin
istration." MI Moon was appointed
to the head Of the revision Of the laws
committee in the Fifty eighth Con-
gress II was determined to at once
begin a thorough revision because OF
the many complaints that were made.
1t was found that many laws were
duplicated. some were obsolete. others
contradictory and the supreme court
had declared some Of tho laws uncon-
stitutional. There were IL volumes
Of the statutes at large and three vol
umes OF revised statutes. There have
been or will be reduced TO three COM
pact volumes.
When the Joint committee was APP
pointed its duty was defined to re
wise. harmonize and supply omission
and to devise and enact new laws.
The las revision occurred in 1873 and
tho work vas preceded by commits
sion which revised the laws. In the
Flfty-ninth Congress Mr.. Moon. as
chairman of the committee held the
attention Of tho HoCse for 10 days
while the penal code was being con-
sidered At the end OF that time the
House complimented him upon the
great work that had been accomplish
ed. The laws cover every feature OF
the penal code.
II IL expected when the next volume,
The Judiciary" shall be presented TO
Congress that the debate will extend
into many days. In this volume OF the
statutes will no the laws relating to
civil rights. labor injunction and So
| cialstic and labor legislation.
Most important OF all will be pro-
| posed law to abolish the circuit court
OF the United States and to have In Its
stead the United States District Court
and Circuit Court Of Appeals. 1t Is
| the intention OF the trainers of the law
| to give more work to the district
courts and then have their work II
necessary reviewed by court OF APP
peals. 1t will not reduce the number
| OF Judges rs at present constituted
The circuit court Is regarded as al
most useless This is one of the many
interesting features in the forthcom-
ing volume. and when Congress be-
gins to debate the work OF Mr., Moon
and lawyers of tho country Will come
to Washington to give their opinions
on the radical changes that are said
to be hidden In the volume.
