The corn crop has progressed be-

Comparing conditions this year with
those of tho same period last year,
there is everything In favor Of the
corn crop. A year ago the corn acre
age at this time was S9,S00,000, a de-
crease of 100000 from the previous
year. But weather conditions a year

comparisons were with year that

THE HOME MARKET.

Extract from Col .Hepburn's address
before the state convention:

tured products in the United States
was one and three-quarter billions OF
dollars. Last year it was fourteen
and half billions Of dollars. These
are results. Tangible things, infinite

THE question now for the Ameri-
can people to determine is: does wis

such lines of conduct as win produce

cratic success in 1892"

NEeRoEs IN AMERICA.

The census bureau has issued its
final bulletin on the negro population
of the United States, including Alas
ka, Hawaii and Porto Rico, which
shows a total of 9,204,531. The re-
port indicates that between III and 16
per cent of the negro population is
believed by enumerators to have some
degree of white blood in their veins.
The center of negro population is in
DeKalb county, Alabama, about four
miles from the western boundary OF
Georgia. More than II per cent OF
the negroes live in the country,
against more than 81 per cent of the
whites. Almost 80 per cent Of the ne
groes in continental United States
are in the southern states, three
tenths of them in Georgia, Mississippi
and Alabama. The negroes constitute
about one-fifteenth of the city popula'
ton and about one-seventh Of the
country population Of continental
| United States. There was an increase
among the negroes of 1,345,31S or II
per cent in continental United States
but the rate of increase declined
steadily through the nineteenth cen
