BaJeJvrln'i Failure.
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.

In American hands. The fact that they

an evidence that In the framing of

kept pace with the forward inarch of
American enterprise. The time will

'
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.

Control of Congress
.Special Correspondence.
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.
"The general date of prospeilly Is such
that (he people are busy, and, having
conlldeiico in the Republican administra
tion, tulcu It for granted that tho Fifty,
eighth congress will bo Republican, mid
overlook the fact that there are about
one hundred southern districts solidly
Democratic, In which experience has
taught us the futility of attempting to
mnko a campaign and lit many of which
Republican voters aro either disfran
chised or a free ballot and n (niy count
denied, so Hint wo must win 70 per cent,
of tho debatable districts in order to no
cure a bare majority of tho Fifty-eighth
rougtcss, and must carry 70 per cent, of
thctdohutuhlp districts In order to have u
eafo working majority.
"1 do not believe Unit the public should
bo misted, nnd want especially to call
attention to the fact that Iho tables that
have been published are misleading, nnd
