Recent figures from tbe census bureau say tbat there ere now more than nine millions of people of the colored race In the United 8tates. Gen. Peter C. Halns, who haa had extensive experience In public worke on n large scale and haa been a member of the Nicaragua canal commission and later of the Isthmian canal commission, la earnestly In favor of the employment of thousands of the black men of the Southern states In digging the waterway at Panama. He believes they can endure tbe climate and will be exceedingly useful In that enterprise, and he holds that more of the money paid for toll on that channel between the Atlantic and the Pacific will come back to the advan-tag- o of thla country in one way and aiibther if they are employed than if ganga of coollea or West Indian labor-er- a were sent to the Isthmus. Ills arguments will find many friends and i upporters. New York Tribune. Fatal Music.
