SOLVING TIE NEGRO QUESTION.
Mature Dciag Much. The SoIi;LGFn
Ratio OF lacrosse.

Mature may be solving the negro
problem for the south. The returns
of the last census show that the
white population there is growing
faster. For the cities in the nine
cotton states there was an increase
in white population Of 36.6 per cent.
Gas compared with an increase Of
27.3 in the previous decade); among
the negro population there was an
increase CT 30.5 per cent las com
pared with an increase Of 23.2 per
cent in the previous decade.) Thus
each race increased at a greater rate
in the last ten years than in the pre-
vious ten, but thc whites increased
in the greater proportion. Similarly
in the rural regions the whites in
creased 17.3 per cent, while the
negroes increased 83 per cent. In
the previous decade the figures
were respectively 1870 and II per
cent. Thus while the whites almost
hold their former ratio the negroes
lcrease was only one-half.
IL these states, as in the country
generally, the cities are growing
faster in population than the coun-
try, yet in both the whites show
large and increasing gains in the
comparison. There is d higher birth
rate among the negroes, but the
death rate is also higher, and there
is no immigration to help the loss.
That increase is all on the side Of the
whites. So, relatively the difference
grows in favor of TIE white race;
and though the negroes may increase
absolutely, this relation Of white
superiority in number promises to
grow. We have been told constant
" that the north does not suffer
from the race problem because Of
the comparative fewness of the ne
groes. The last census shows that
the South is well on the road TO the
same position. We ought then to
have less Of the problem and fewer
excuses that disproportionate num-
bers cause it, and leave rs unable to
Sympathize with the fact 0rs that en-
ter into it. 1t is predicted that a
new frctor will now he discovered
n this very decrease OF the negroes
proportlonately, namely, that there
IS not enough OF them to do the
work they have heretofore done. .
