Not Over-Wise.
There is an old allegorical pic
ture of a girl scared at a grass
hopper, but iu the act of heedless
ly treading on a snake. This is
paralleled by the man who spends
a large snm of motley building a
cyclone cellar, but 'neglects to
provide his family with a bottle
of Ohjimberlain’s Colio, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a safe
guard against bowel complaints,
whose victims outnumber those of
the cyclone a hundred to one.
This remedy is everywhere recog
nized as the most prompt and re
liable medicine iu use for these

Rejection of the Canal Treaty.
Savannah News,
The reason given for the rejection
of the Manama canal treaty by the
Oolombian Senate is that it en
croached upon Colombia’s sover
eignty. That may be the reason,
but if the faotB could be obtained it
would appear, in qll probability, that
the Colombians hope that in some
manner they will be able to get
more for canal concessions than they
Were to have by the terms of the re
jected treaty.
In accordance with the terms of
the treaty the United States were
to pay Colombia $10,000,000 in cash
and $250,000 a year, after the lapse
of a certain number of years, for
certain concessions. Their agree
ment with the French Panama Ca
nal Company is that they shall pay
that company $40,000,000 for all its
rights in and to the Panama canal,
provided a suitable arrangement oan
be made with the Colombian gov
ernment*
The Colombians have felt that
they were not dealt with fairly
by this arrangement.’ They have
thought, and perhaps still think,
that the greater part of the $40,
000,000 ought to come to them, for
the reason, probably, that within a
comparatively short time the con
cessions which the French company
has will expire, and then the canal
and all qf the improvements upon it
will revert to Colombia. It may be
that it is their plan to try to pre
vent any disposition of the eanal
property until after the expiration of
thq concessions of the French com
pany, with the view of getting the
property and selling it to the United
States for the sum which the United
States have agreed to pay the French
company.
. ihiB view of the situation may do
injustice to the Colombian govern
ment, but there appears to be foun
dation for it. But if it is the cor-
rect view it dan be stated with con
siderable certainty that Colombia
will not be permitted to get the
benefit of the vest sums of money
which the French oompany has
spent upon the canal. France would
undoubtedly undertake to defend
the interests of her citiz .ns,
It is intimated that the Oolombi
an president may be able to get the
treaty before the Senate again by
having it amended in some unim
portant particular. But what is the
use of taking that course unless rad
ical changes are made in it in the
direotion in which it is alleged to be
objectionable? The Senate! would re
ject it againr-r-at least the reasonable
view is that it would.
It seems to be the opinion of well
informed men in Washington that
our government wouldn’t be willing
to aoeept less important concessions
than those which the rejeoted treaty
contains, That being the ease, it
looks very much as if the only .thing
left for the president to do is to be
gin negotiations with Niouragua and
CoBta Rico for right of way through
their respective territories for a ca
nal. *
He has authority from congress
not only to make treaties with Cos
ta Rico and Nicaragua for territory,
but also to construct the canal.
As to the course the president will
take in the matter nothing can be
stated definitely at present. He
doesn’t know himself, probably,
what his course will be. He may
try to have the treaty amended in
some unimportant > hartioular and
then offered to the Colombian Sen
ate again, or he may inaugurate ne
gotiations at once for concessions
along the Nicaragua route.
There is a disposition , in some
quarters to charge the defeat of the
treaty in the Colombian Senate to
the account of the Pacific railroads,
but there is no positive evidence at
hand that they exerted any influence
in the matter one way or the other.
Just now it looks as if the isthmian
oanal scheme had received a black eye.

Birth and Death Rate of Negroes.
Washington Letter Atlanta Constitution.
Is the negro population of the cit
ies of the United States, except as it
is recruited by new arrivals from the
country, decreasing as a result of an
exeess of deaths over births?
This is a question that has been
answered affirmatively in some of
the recent disoussions of the race
problem, bnt in no case have statis
tics been given tending to support
the answer. All that has been writ
ten on the subjeot seems to have
been based on assumption and per
sonal observation which would nec
essarily be narrow in ssope. It is
unfortunate that no absolutely relia
ble statistics bearing on the subject
oan be obtained. In many of the
oities efforts are made to secure
aeonrate statistics of births and
deaths. The death statistics are in
many cases approximately accurate,
but in no case can implicit reliance
be placed upon the birth statistics.
The reason for this is obvious. . In
the case of a death there is a corpse
to be disposed of, aud the public
health authorities require the filing
of a proper report before it dan be
removed or buried. There is no
such way of compelling the filing of
birth reports.
There is no part of the country in
whioh the registration of vital statis
tics is so pearly perfeot as in New
England. For this reason the fig
ures for Boston are particularly in
teresting. They show that during
the census year there were 13,991
births and 11,277 deaths among the
white population, making an excess
of 2,714 births. Among the negro
population of Boston the same year
the births numbered 240 and the
deathB327, making the excess of
deaths 87. In Greater New York
there were 96,164 births and 70,229
deaths among the white population,
making the exoess of births 15,935.
Among the negro population there
were 1,970 deaths and 1,430 births,
making the excess of deaths 540,
In Buffalo there were 9,227 births
and 5,157 deaths among the white
people, making the excess of births
4,070. Among the negroes there
were 29 births aud 50 deaths, mak
ing the excess of deaths 21. In
Chicago there were 43,098 births
and 27,533 deaths in the white pop
ulation, making the exoess or births
15,565. Among the colored popula
tion there were 389 births and 679
deaths, making the exeess of deaths
290. In St, Louis there were 12,960
births and and 10,320 deaths among
the white population, making the
excess of births 2,640. Among the
colored population there were 594
births and 1,155 deaths, making the
excess of deaths 561. In New Or
leans there were 5,224 births among
the white .population, and 4,977
deaths, making the exeess of births
257. Among the colored population
there were 1,735 births and 3,310
deaths, making the excess of deaths
1,576.
About the same proportions were
shown in the other oities, but the
above examples are sufficient to
demonstrate that if the births
among the population of the regis
tration oities are recorded with any
approximate degree of accuracy the
colored population of those cities is
not increasing through the birth
rate.
