OUR NEGRO POPULATION
Not Increasing as Fast as the Whites
What the Census Shows.

The count Of the population Of the United
States by race sex, and natVity has hfen
completed at the census Office, and thus
the most important sociological data will
he soon forthcoming The greatest ques-
tion has been the relative growth of the
colored population The alarm which the
figures Of 1850 gave the country lest tn
negro population should exceed the white
viii be recalled. Final figures show that
the negro population will this time con-
stitute about lbs Of our total popula ION.
Ten years ago the figures ON a similar
basis We're ll.93.
Some new clements of population h Nc
been counted this time, but as "A Who'll, 1t
l. tar to conclude that the negro Is slight
j. less than holding his own. The earlier
bulletins by States indicated as shown in
these dispatches, that thc negro was doing
better than this but the Virginia returns,
which came in the last alphabetical gro, p.
have greatly modified the final result $.
In that State the negro growth has loen
surprisingly small In fact, in only four
6outhern States is the proportion of ne
grOes greater to-day than in 1880 These
are Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and
Florida. in many Northern States the ne
gro population has relatively increased
but as it is 80 small part of the total, does
not greatly affect general results. The
completed figures thus show that the nc-
gro is losing his hold in the border state
region, ana is moving either to the cotton
fields of the Gulf or TO the great cit es
of the North
The figures since 1870, showing the per-
Ccntage that the negroes have constituted
of our total population, are as follows:

DRAINING A SEA.
How the zuiderzee Will Be Reclaimed
for Agricultural Purposes.

Though far from being n new project,
the proposal to reclaim The Iuiderzce IN
" oland from tho sea t. Of interest by rca-
son of the fresh details given in Com
star report issued recently. bill for
this purpose will probably be introdut cd
this session by the Minister of the Wat
crstHat, says the London Express.
To commence with, dam will be con-
structcl across the mouth from Wicrn-
gen. in North Holland, to Piaam. in Fries
land. This dam will have sluices Into the
North Sea, into which the Iuidcrzec water
will be elected by means of steam pumps
The southwestern corner of this vast
enclosure will then be reclaimed, the rest
remaining Il fresh water lake by reason Of
an overflow from the River Yssol.
The reclamation will take the form of
two Folders. or areas OF dry land.
These will be the Wicringen polder eighty
three and "A half square miles,, which Will
contain scventy-two square miles of fer
tile land; and the IIoorn Polder dllh
square niles containing 107 square mi c3
of fertile land
Il .s estimated that the entire work will
he completed in eighteen years. In the
ninth year the dam shutting out the North
Sea will be finished; in the fourteenth year
the Wicringen Poldcr will be dry and
ready for sale; while in the eighteenth
year the same thing will have happened
to the Tioorn Folder.
The cost of this gigantic work Is roughly
estimated ut c7o16.GG7. which sum will b.
raised by loans. Principal and interest of
these are to he paid off by an annual in
crease of the budget of Gl6GG67, during a
maximum period of sixty years.
The most noteworthy items Of this esti-
mate are as follows: Dyke from Wierineen

Compensation tothe Zuiderzee fishermen
naturally forms a very serious considera-
ton in the total expenditure. There are
/ whole villages round the coast wholly sup
ported by the herring, founder, anchovy,
smolt, eel and shrimping industries.
There are eighteen of these "communeS,'
with a feet of more than 100 boats, man.
ned by 1890 fishermen. Taken altogether
tn" gross yearly yield of the Zuidetzce
fisheries amounts to about 10000 forms,
Of which 100o00D is attributed to anchovies
1t Is therefore recommended besides Civ
ing ordinary compensation, that the gov
eminent give the deposed fishermen new
boats and tackle to enable them to go in q
tho North Sea and fish. a. the Zuiderze,
boats are incapable of sailing upon the
open seas.-London Express.

which adorn our persons and our homes
