THE ROOKLYN mllllanalre who endowettt so lavishly qnd luxuriously the Baldwin ev Vedltlon to the North Pole has not even the .poor satisfaction ot knowing that the attempt proved abor tive through no ldrk of strenuous effort. Mr. Baldwin was provided with all the paraphernalia for the journey that a century of the experience ot others could susest. No other ex plorer faced the hyperborean rlsor within the Arctic circle with a larger or healthier pack of the indispensable .Esquimaux docs. He had tons upon tons of food which all the discoveries of preservative art or chemical science could supply. The members of the ex pedition were Mr. Baldwin's own selec tion and upon his Judgment alone jested the responsibility for their effici ency and behavior. So much, or rather so little, for his preparations. We must now turn to the cause of its ridiculous failure, so far as they have been re vealed. In the first place, Mr. Baldwin was to reach the North Pole and nail the Stars and Stripes on its veritable apex. Nothing else would do. No meaner measure uf fortune would be deemed success. This was not a scientific ex pedition. That is to say, it was to be first and foremost emblematic ot the large enthusiasm of American adven ture. The next mortal who reached the North Pole was to tlnd it staked out as Baldwin's Heights. Peary, Nansen, Jackson, to mention only contemporary competitors of Mr. Baldwin In the race, were particular to insist that while they alined to reach the highest lati tude possible or even the Pole itself, they were primarily prompted to im peril their lives and to endure the in calculable hardship!) of the journey in the Interests of science, and the scien tific world is immeasurably, indebted to them for. their observations and dis coveries. Now where they so admir ably succeeded In their cummenilahle ambition, Baldwin in his egregious pretensions absolutely failed. Mr. Baldwin seemed to have begun to lurch on si sea' of trouble before the prow of his ship had quite turned northward fr.om Aberdeen. He was right undoubtedly in insisting upon be ing regarded, or addressed If necessary, as the plenary leader of the expedition," but the man ta such a position who could not keep from' quarreling with the commander of his ship over these ceremonial matters before lie had reached the point of his departure over the frozen seas hint much better have stayed at home. There Is a suspicion that the reporter who gavo Mr. Piatt's Interview upon the strike question did not see Mr. Piatt. rUlpful All Round. lli;rc'PfoJ "AttTON, pre),,.

' Future of th Negro. IN A PAPER recently read before the Georgia Sociological society, 111. M. I.. Perry, pathologist to the state sanitarium, at Mllledge vllle, tla., presented some interesting and even startling data In relation to the social life of the southern negro. The recent census reported the negro population of the United States at S,-8-10,789, uf which over !Kl per cent, are resident in the South. The fact that a tenth part of our population Is of negro origin Invests with Importance the relation of the negro to disease. I3r. Perry reports nmong Southern negroes un alarming prevalence of ven ereal diseases, constituting n menace cot only to themselves but also threat ening with infection their white asso ciates. Another disease which Is fast ravaging the blacks Is tuberculosis, in slavery days this was almost unknown. Today It is frightfully common, and the death rate shows Its effect. From the report of the Georgia sanitarium for the year ended Sept. 1, 31100, It appears that the death rate, based upon the total number under treatment, was S.S per cent. In the white department and 11.5 per cent. In the colored department. Kroin the last report, being for the year ending Sept. 1. 11)01, a death rate among the whites of fl.7 per cent, ap pears, wliile in the negro department It reached 17.1 per cent, During pres ent year the ratio has been even great er, and this, despite the fact Hint their cure and treatment is the same. Dr. Perry is Inclined to attribute much of this inferior vitality among negroes to the weakening Influences of venereal' diseases and tuberculosis. But his paper gives other surprising statistics. According to the census of 1800, there were In Georgia forty-four Insane negroes. The negro population at that time was 4ti.1,C9S. The. ration of Insane to the total population was thus 1 to 10.5S4. In 1870 there were 12!l in sane negroes out of a total colored population of H.-I.14L. or 1 to 4,2. In 1SS0 the census shows that there were 411 colored Insane out of a total of TL'.,i::::, or t to ,7'!4. In lSOO, according to the census, there were In Georgia 500 insane negroes out of a population of 858,815, or 1 to 1,533. The census of 1H0O gives the negro population of Georgia as 1,031,813. The bulletin giv ing the insane population had not been Issued when Dr. 'Perry spoke, but there were in the state sanitarium on Sept. 1, ItHH), 7!i!" colored patients, anil from the number of applications fur admis sion ut that time he estimates that there were, at least, 100 more Insane in the state. Reckoning on this basis of '.100. we find the ratio of insane to the tutal colored population in 11)00 to be 1 to 1, 14!). 'Thus In forty years the total iityui population In Georgia has been a little more than doubled, while the number of Insane lias Increased twenty fold. No other such rapid ami radical change In the nieutul stability of u race la recorded In history. Dr. Perry con tinues: This outburst of Insanity becomes still more, reinarlcablo when wo consider thai for generations pi lor to ISM the colored people Had lici'ii free from mental ills ease, it has developed, therefore, with out the slightest hH'ctlltary tiilut. What their condition will lie at the end of tint next fmty years can only lie conjectured, lint considering the fuel Unit the iLslug generation will have in contend wtlh a marked hereditary predisposition from which their fathers weie flee, the out look in this direction Is certainly not en couraging, Even now tlio Inalu of tint negro dues not appear to be able to sus tain a mental strain as well us that of a white man. This Is shown by the fact, well recognized In asylum practice, that Hid colored Insane tend to pass .through the ptlmary insanities and hecouie du nientcil more quickly than do tli. i whites, A word or two upon the cumpuruilvu hruhi capacity of tint two races may bu of Interest here. I know of no statistics giving comparative brain weights In tilts sane, but 1 have, taken for comparison the fniilns of lim patients of, each rnco dying liisane, The following table kIws Hie average Inula weight In these 'uses, together wllli the average minimi weight; Average weight of normal Inalu In hit man male, l,ln:l gnis; feniulo, ,'j:.7 gms. Average brain weight In ! while pa tients dying Insane, male, ;xx kids; fe male, 1,197 KiiiH, Average weight In 100 colored patients dying Insane, male, I,'.".") gins; female, 1,1ft" gms. Tliu average weight of the brain of the negro Is thus seen to fall lieluw Unit of tlm while man by something mure than Jew gms, or about 3',f, oz, It is true- thai the degico uf Intellguiifo Is Indicated more, by tlij development than by the weight of tha brain, but, other things being equal, tbo uyernge brain weight of a race may bu taken as an Index of Its mental capacity. If these figures and deductions are correct, there would seem to be re. newed call upon American philanthropy for freedmen's aid. Unless It Is desired to solve the negro problem very much as the Indian problem Is rapidly being solved namely, by neglect leading to gradual extinction, steps will huve soon to be tuken to educate the negro iu sanitation and to put hint to congenial work, Letting him die out in a sud den freedom for which it appeals that I lie was very largely unfitted would he a paradox of the humane purposes which actuated hli etnanclpntlmi. Hern Is nit excerpt from the presi dent's Labor day speech at Rutland. Vt., Which Is worthy of leineinbrnnt'e! "Our complex Industrial civilisation menus that we ciinnot' rely as we for merly could tiputi stich simple methods' as Htiftleo while men uie brought close together with their relations Inextric ably Interwoven. We must meet the new conditions, where necessary meet them by legislation If , legislation can not serve then meet them by combina tion among ourselves us you here bear ing the banners In this procession have met them. Much of great good can come by such associations, something can be done through wise, legislation, but do not forget, gentlemen, In the last resort you cannot find u substitute for a man's own energy, resourcefulness, skill, courage, and honesty. Work through association hi combinations with your fellows, but do not, under tiny circumstances, let any mnn lose his own capacity for self-help." In other words, put the man above the union. Miss Coles, editor of Storms nnd Signs, predicts that there will be better feeling between labor nnd capital this month. Miss Coles bus already won fame us u. Weather prophet, and If she can be as successful In foretelling events of the strike situation, Kingston will be able to take on additional glory as the headquarters uf prognostication.

New York, Sept. '.'. THE CONTEST for control of the- next house of representatives' lms com menced in earnest. From now until election day Ulw great battle be tween the Kepublicius and Denioctats for the election of representatives In con gress will be waged without intermission. The National Jtepnblicaii cengiessioiril committee lias located its headquarters in New York, in the St. James building, and Is planning the tampalgii and laying out Hues along which the liattle will lie foiiaht. Hon. Joseph W. Jhibcock, of Wisconsin, who has conducted four suc cessful campaigns for congress, Is imaln ut tile head of the committee and Is in active miiinisenieiit of the work. He is assisted by Congressmen Hull, Sherman and Overstreel, who alsy wen associated Willi him In some previous campaigns. u The literary feature of the campaign Is being handled by llepresi illative Over street. The. text-book is being illctrlhutsd to the congressional nominees and the chairmen of statu committees. Speeches of note delivered 111 the last congress, and other literary matter, are also being dollveied la the Mime way. As the campaign, progresses til!.' voteis of the laud will lie afforded opportunities to listen to some of Hie most billliaiit orators In the country. Prominent speak trs will be sent into every congiesslon-il distilct where there is a contest, and the principles of the Kepubllcnn party and its Issues will lie set .before, the people. Col onel Henry Cassoli, of Wisconsin, ser-geaiit-at-arms of :lie house of repieseu la lives, Is in charge of the spellbinders bureau. o The congressional committee considers it necessary to warn the Republican vo ids of this country that the coming light for congress Is to be a vigorous contest, and that it will ho necessary fur them, If they want ihu nest hoiiie to be Repub lican, to turn out on election day in full strength. All general conditions through out the country are favorable to the Re publicans. But the danger of apathy and Indifference, always is the greatest ill such a time. The people are apt, unless their attention Is called to I lie necessity, lor vlirllance. to take a Republican vic tory for griiuled and not turn out in full number at Hie polls, The Demociats ale starting out to make tills an "old-fashioned Democratic campaign." Demagoguery and demorali zation will be rife from now on. Their leaders, buth in and uut of congress, are badly split up on the question of "is sues." While It might be supposed that the issues which had been threshed over In (wo presidential campaigns. In both of which the Democrats bad been beaten, were dead, such Is not the case. On Hie authority of the secietnry of the Demo cratic committee, the contrary Is stated, Secretary Edwiuils, of the Democratic congressional committee, hi an iiutlioiized Interview In the "Washington Star, July SI, l!"1-, subl: "The Democratic congies slonal committee Is standing squarely on tlio Kansas city platform. That Is thu only Democracy we know anything about, and it will be the only Democracy there is until another national conven tion shall bo held." u Chairman Rabcuck. of the Republican congressional committee, has given out the following statement, the only author ized .statement lie thus far lias made in tills campaign: "My attention has been called to tallies published by the press generally, pur porting to I'eme fioiil the Republican congressional committee or from some, one alleged to bo familiar Willi our sup posed estimates, Now, the facts are that the Republican coiigtcsslnnal committee jias never published a labia by states during the live campaigns that 1 have been connected with It. It is Impossible ut this lime to oven predict, by districts, wllh any degree of accuracy, what iho result may be, for tbo i en son that only about one-half of the nominations havo been made, nnd but few of the stnto or congressional committers have as yet been organized, nnd local conditions are such In many places where the nomina tions huve lint been made that It would be folly to predict what the result might be In those dlstllcls Tilt) Republican congressional committee will publish no tables during the campaign, lint al ns early a date us possible, when tlio cam paign has progressed siltllclcntly to en able us to secuie reliable Information, we shall give the public till) I it' lie lit of it, "I believe the Republican party will succeed anil elect n majiully of tlm next house; but we must not forget that slncu ilcuernl nrnnt's first term In 'off-years, tho Republicans have succeeded but ouco In electing a congress in harmony with the administration, and that was In ISDS.
