irHS WOMEN'S ANTHROPOLOGICAL
SOCIETY.
gome Interesting Points About Babies.
Little Dorothy "Whitney asleep in her
perambulator, a June rose clutched fast in
one fat little hand, suggests a curious*
question to the casual observer who chances
to meet the young woman, who woke one
morning and found herself famous, rolling
comfortably through a shady walk of
Central Fa'rk, convej ed bv her important
looking nurse. Is the Cabinet baby having
her brain investigated, and are the internal
arrangements of the round little skull .hid
den away under that muslin cap accurately
written down? The mental status of the
infant in arms is the latest subject of invest
igation for this inquiring century, and the
hold the study has taken in Washington
and the number of Senators’ wives and
other women interested in it gives any small
heir apparent, possibly scientific, from that
quarter, anew and novel interest. The
matter is becoming a live one in New York
also, and the baby assumes importance in
quarters iu which his possibilities were
never appreciated before.
Physically considered, his royal highness
the ruler of the household's aches and paines
have required, even clamorously, a deal of
attention in the past. Morally speaking,
old Jonathan Edwards blackened the urchin’s
character to the best of his ability when lie
dammed the young sovereign for the sins of
his fathers. But the actual contents of the
baby’s brain is the unknown algebraic x
which a sanguine generation aspire to write
down in good Arabic figures as an estab
lished fact of everyday knowledge.
The Women’s Anthropological Society,
whose headquarters are at 1100 M street
jl. \V., Wasnington, and which has taken
the matter vigorously in hand, counts Mrs.
Teller, Mrs. Blair, Miss Cleveland, Kate
Field and Miss Florence Spofford among its
active members. Baby Cameron, now a
fine lively little girl, is one of the capital
children whose mothers have joined in a
stndy of the early days of the little people.
In New York Dr. Elizabeth Stow Brown, of
the Infant Asylum, who has something over
eighty children in her care, is recording their
development. Marion Harlaud’s grand
children, the three little folks belonging to
Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick, have care
ful statistics kept of them, so it is said, as
data for child growth. Mine. Emma Neva
da’s 8-month’s-old baby, who was bom in
France of an American mother aud German
father, and who ought to furnish an interest
ing suoject for the study of mixed race
characteristics, is another child with whom
similar pains are taken. Dean Rachel
Bodley is interesting the students of the
Woman’s Medical College in Philadelphia.
Western women have taken up the matter
with some zeal, and families in Oregon and
Colorado are known to be actively enlisted.
A dozen or so of Brooklyn babies are oil the
lists of the society, and some Boston mothers
are ready to lend to it the sanction of the
Huh.
Well, and why not; The intellects of cats
dogs and monkeys have been deemed worthy
a good deal of probing. The child may
prove not unworthy the attention even of
that highly respectable class of persons who
devote their time and labor, as Ruskin has
put it with a robust scorn, to investigating
the method of generation of earth worms.
The baby, which is subjected to the tender
mercies of the Anthropological Society,
finds them not at all cruel. It can still
suck its thumb and dig its fists into its eyes
and kick off its socks in peace as in the days
before science turned a sharp-eyed gaze
upon its innocent unconsciousness. The
society, which has been organized for two
years now, but which is about entering on a
more active stage of its existence, wishes to
obtain the co-operation of as many mothers
throughout the country as possible. The
infant which goes down’ on its record books
has done for it, systematically, what every
voungster which meets with any welcome
in thi* world has done for it in some desult
ory fashion. Its physical characteristics,
health, food, weight, etc., are observed, and
its mental development is noted week by
week as the bud of a brain unfolds.
It might not be a bad idea to exclude, for
a time at least, all first boms from the
record, such children being, as all parents
know, unnrecidentedly precocious, given to
saying “papa” at the age of 2 weeks and of
no' value at all as establishing a general
average. With these intellectual marvels
left out of account, the protege of the an
thropologists will have jotted down for it
its earliest manifestations of intelligence,
and the subsequent growth of the wee tot,
step by step and stage by stage, from the
moment it first turns its wandering uncer
tain gaze to the light, through the days
when its fingers clasp round an object put
within their grasp and those other days
when it goes on exploring expeditions and
finds its toes, as veritable discoveries for it
as America for Columbus, begins to recog
nize faces, to creep to walk and graduates
out of babyhood into childhood and beyond.
Statistics thus obtained are to be embodied
in yearly reports from as many sources as
possible; ana if the number of )>eople inter
ested be large enough, facts of general value
for scientific study can be obtained, it is
thought, which promise a more intelligent
knowledge of babyhood and childhood, a
truer insight into childish characteristics
and mental processes, into hereditary
tendencies and a better foundation for tlio
beginnings of education.
A record book to be kept for the benefit
of all the small proteges of the society will
be issued some time this month, giving full
directions for taking measurements, weights,
testing sight, hearing, etc. These books are
to be kept in duplicate by the parents; one
set to be forwarded to headquarters every
year to become part of the records of the
society.
A partial list of the preliminary questions
to lie answered, which have been prepared
by Mrs. Clara Bliss Hinds, includes the
waby’s name in full (or a number by which
it is to be designated if the parents object
to sending more), the health of the mother
More its birth; the child’s bodily peculiar
ues, including any hereditary characteris
tics or “mother marks,” its weight naked,
the color of ite hair, its condition of health;
its temper, good-natured or fretful; the ago
at which it first showed consciousness of any
sort, as sensibility to pain; the age at which
it noticed the prick of a pin or folio wed a
light with its eyes; when it first sat alone,
crept, walked; the age at which it first spoke
anti what it said, the character of its food,
avorago hours of sleep in twenty-four; its
babyish ailments if any. For an older
child the ago at which it entered school, the
Character of exorcise, its plays and play
things; any marked artistic capacity; the
of its mommy, retentive or unreliable.
, Ihe baby’s height is to bo taken by plac

wit h a light book across the head. Bight is

•lust what will come of the plans of this
society remains to be seen. It is active and
®mnu*iantlc and counts on rousiug activity
and enthusimm in others. A record of
cniidivn might presumably boas vuluable
as one of cuttle. An accurately kept account

THE COMING COLORED VOTE.
It Bids Fair to Go for Candidates of the
Democratic Party.
•FVota the .Yew York Star.
The “Mike” Oregon irruptiou is not the
only one in the Republican ranks, and while
the former is important, as far as individu
ality is concerned, the latter affects a distinct
element of the body politic. The truth of
the matter is that the white Republican
managers of this county, as well as else
where, are going to have considerable
trouble in keeping their hitherto loval col
ored allies in the traces, ami that the days
of resolutions and non-action with the col
ored people are past. The spirit of revolt
does not exist among the colored citizens of
this city and State alone, but, as if by pre
arrangement, has cropped out simultaneous
ly throughout the gouatry. In Massachu
setts, where the colored vote in a close elec
tion is the balance of power, the colored
people will demand a colored State Auditor
this fall, although they have a representa
tive annually in the State Legislature and
Boston Common Council. The Boston
-Idrocate, the only colored paper published
in New- England, in its issue of May 21
says; “IVe must present a hold front in tile
coming election, and we must have more
representation.- We shall fight
on this principle until we realize
our hopes.” The recent general ignor
ing of the colored people of Boston by the
Republican Governor (Ames) ol Massachu
setts upon the occasion of Queen Kapiolani’s
visit to the “Hub,” tends to intensify the
prejudice against Gov. Ames, whom the
colored Bostonians have never forgiven for
using his influence against the confirmation
of Hon. Edwin G. Walker, the eminent
colored lawyer, and the most prominent
negro in the East , when he was nominated
a few years ago for a judgeship by Gov.
Benjamin F. Butler. Asa sample
of the political independence of the
colored vote in Boston it is but necessary
to cite the fact that Democratic Congress
man Leopold Morse has always received the
united support of the colored vote. Ex-
State Senator John F. Andrew, son of the
late war Governor of Massachusetts, John
A. Andrew, in his gubernatorial campaign
last year against the then Lieut. Gov. Ames,
was tlie recipient of the colored vote. It is
also a fact that Mayor Hugh O’Brien, of
Boston, an Irishman, Roman Catholic and a
Democrat, has been largely supported by
the colored voters of the Eastern metropolis.
The situation is the same in the West.
In this State Gov. Hill received one-third
of the colored vote, and from present ap
pearances the defection in the Republican
ranks as far as the colored auxiliary is con
cerned will be large enough in 1888 to defeat
a Republican Presidential candidate, should
the tickets be headed Cleveland and Blaine,
respectively. From conversation with in
telligent colored men of this city, a Star re
porter gleans the cause of discontent in New
York to lie founded upon the fact that
Robert Ray Hamilton, George Pealiody,
Col. George Bliss mid Judge Fitch, ignore
the rank aud file of the colored voter, and by
the positions of captaincies and a few dol
lars for “convincing,” subsidize to
their behests self-constituted col
ored leaders who are looking out
for themselves and their white
Republican political employes instead of
the race at large. Heretofore, in view of
the fact that the Eleventh Assembly dis
trict in this city, known as the “gilt-edged
district.” contains 1,100 colored voters, the
other districts have waited for some action
to be made in this section for the better
ment of the political condition of the race.
But having waited until patience ceased to
be a virtue, the word will lie passed along
the line to give the vote this fall aud 1888
where it will do the most good for the race,
But the Eleventh Assembly district
will speedily drop into the line of reform;
within the'past few months the rank and
file have not been inactive, and efforts will
be made to relegate the Union League ap
pointed colored leaders to private life, and
the reins of political authority over the ne
gro vote will be placed in the hands of col
ored leaders apjxiinted by the colored people.
As an earnest of this new movement, the
division of the colored vote last fall, and
the powerless action of the self-constituted
leaders to prevent the same, show that the
rank and file have arisen.
The hypocrisy of the white Republican
leaders of this county, the conservative
course of President Cleveland to the colored
people at large, the possible danger of
Blame’s “bloody shirt” platform to the ne
gro of the South, should Blaine be elected in
1888, have aroused the colored vote, and
created the most friendly feeling among col
ored leaders at large ana the rank and file
of the race for the present executive, and
judging from the sentiment of the leading
colored journals of the country, and the ex
pressions of the most unbiased and promi
nent colored men of the United States,
when the Republican roll is called in 1888
there will be a large number of colored
men’s names missing from the Republican
adjutant’s roll.
The views of analytical colored leaders
who are interested in their race ure synony
mous with the following expression made by
one of the most prominent and influential
negro criterions in the country:
“The flay has passed when the colored
voters of this country can longer be led
around by the nose by Frederick Douglass,
Bruce, Lynch, Langston, Smalls and a few
others of tho race, who, for their obedience
to white Republicans, have been rewarded
with office, and the rest of the race ignored.
Young men of our race have come to the
front to stay. The war for our equal rights
must lie solved by young colored men: men
of spirit, intelligence, probity and energy.
Hackney politicians of our race must and
shall retire. Senator Ingalls and other milk
and-water Republicans must understand
that they arrogate too much to themselves
when they dare to say that Frederick Doug
lass is the most prominent and intellectual
n 'gro in the world. They forget that Alex
uniter Dumas, for prominence, ami Prof. J.
C. Price, for oratory, are still in the land of
the living. But any black man is promi
nent with the white Republican leaders if
he is a political serf to them.
The colored people, rank and file,
will henceforth make the. negro
leaders, and they will be honest young men.
* * * * Had Mr. Blaine been elected in
1884 his bloody shirt policy would have
caused incalculable damage to the Southern
negro, by intensifying the feeling against
him and' antagonizing the Southern white
element for Republican political capital.
The bloody shirt issue lias already been bap
tized by negro blood at Hamburg and other
sections of the South, and the massacres
have been winked at by the white Republi
cans, because they could and have, gained
capital at, the exjiense of the negroes’ lives.
“It is possible that white Republicans
have caused these outrages to occur. A
serious change is needed iu this country. If
tho Democratic rank and file will accord the
negro tho rights and treatment of Ameri
can citizens, the negro will coalesce; other
wise the negro will vote for men and meas
ures instead of party principles. When
Stevens, Andrew, Sumner, Garrison umi
Phillips died, tho time Republican party
was buried In the grave with those heoroes
who founded and nurtured it. The present
party is one composed of money bags and
trickdty, suffering from absence ot brain
and lack of conscience. If a colored na
tional convention is held before tho Presi
dential election, the Ropubliean party will
be surprised and affrighted at some things
they will see and hear.*’
