Tho sleoves nro quito loose at tho top, sot in with a puff Testing Just so many Inches over tho shoulder, according to tho hoight and width of tho wearer, and tho neck may bo finished high or low, or worn with out any band If tho tasto and stylo of tho wearer so demands.

One of the most Interesting papers that havo yet appeared, bearing on the racial problem In this country, Is from tho pen of General Francis A. Walker lu tho July Forum, discus sing tho statistical future of tho negro. Tho presiding officer of a republican stoto convention two years ago sketched for his auditors u growth of tho colored raco In the' United States, which was to bring them at no distant futuro to fifty millions. Tho extravagauee of this computation was duo jto important errors In tho colored census of 1870, which caused a very largo apparent gain between that year and 1BS0. General Walker's conclusions are based ou a careful analysis of tho census reports of 1800 and a compar ison of tho figures of preceding re ports, aud though presented as subject to correction lu Borne minor points, will bo read with Interest. Taking tho reports from 1700 to the presout timo, tho statistics show that whllo tho population of this country bus during tho century in creased sixteenfold, tho colored element has increased but tbnfold. In 1700 tho colored race constituted nearly one-fifth of tho population; In 1840, but ouo-slxth;iu 18G0, but onesovoutli; lu 1800, less thau otie elghth. This authorltatlvo state ment from an ex-superintendent of tho national census, quite upsets the startling computations and predic tions of amateur statisticians con cerning tho nlionomounl Increaso of tho negro race aud their ultimate political supremacy in tho South. General Wulkor demonstrates that the tendency toward reducing the relative importance of tho negro element will continue through a considerable period before it can bo arrested, and thcro Is little probabil ity that this movement will ever in our future bo reversed. Another significant revelation of tho recent consuls is tho gradual ubatidonment by the blacks of the higher, colder and drier lauds to which they wero carried by tbe will of tho master class, and their con centration lu tho lowor, warmer and molster portions of the South. This phaso of migration la very clearly showu by tho superior percentage of increaso in tho cotton growing states. This tendency of the race to southern migration Is very marked, and is stimulated by urgent calls for labor in tho cotton fields, ns woll as by the disinclination to compete with white labor and tho high rate of mortality prevailing among tho negroes in northoru latitudes. Gen eral Wulkor Is convinced that tills tendency will steadily increase, and that the negro element will bb more and more drained oif from the higher aud colder lands into the low, hot regions bordering tho Gulf of Mexico.

Tho JomtNAii asks Its readers, without distinction as to parly, race or previous condition of opinion and prejudice, to bo candid with thcnibclvi's on tho question of prices. Let them say out of their own knowledge and aoliinl ex perience whether tho prices of tho manufactures which they havo bought nro higher now than they wero a year ago. Thcro has been n world of talk about "McKlnloy prices." Last fall tho democratic press from Maine to California was full of predictions and assertions about the high prices which the "infamous MoKluloy tar Id" would make when It went Itito effect. Farmers especially wero In vited to believe such assertions mid predictions. They amounted to tho statement that furuiers and all buy cts would In general havo to pay vastly more for all manufact ured articles ou account of the now tariff, Isn't this a true repetltiou of tho statement so vehemently mid persistently made by tho democratic press last fall? Well, now wo have "MoKInley prices." Tho now tariff ban long been Into effect. Wo aro well along Into the second half of u year of McKlnloy prices. For seven or eight months we have uctually been paying MoKInley price for every manufactured article we havo bought, What the Juvunau asks is that everybody who wants the truth shall compare the prices which he pay uow under the new tariff with the prices ho paid last year under tho old tariff.

You know what yon paid nytar ago for tho very samo things. You havo an accouut book, and your memory will supply tho figures. Now, then, what tho Journal asks is that you put price against price, aud answer sincerely whether Mo Kluloy prices aro what tho demo cratic party told you last year they wero ond would bo whether prices aro higher thau they wero a year ago. Tho Journal makes freo to say de liberately that you will find, as a rulo, you nro buying manufactures today at lower prices than a year ago. Sioux City Journal. SUGGESTED UOaiMUNT.

July 14.- report ou tho harvest prospects Franco and Europe has been re ceived at tho state department from Commercial AgentGrlflln, of Lyons, Franco. The National Millers' Associatlon of Prance, the report says, has Just issued an estimate very carefully collected of the pro bablo wheat harvest of Franco nnd Europe lu 1801. In order to meet tho demaud of France until the harvest Is gathered in 1802, it Is uecessary to see how much wheat , was yielded by tho crops in 1890 and tho quantity imported. The official figures of tho yield for 1890, given by tho minister of agriculture, are 119,480,827 hectoliters. There is a monthly consumption of 8,000,000 hectoliters, requiring for n year's supply 108,000.000 hectoliters. About 15,000,000 hectoliters aro usod for seed, bo that tho present average of wheat lu Franco per annum Is 123, 000,000 hectoliters. This year there must bo added to this amount 6,000, 000 hectoliters, which Is required for ' resowing where the gralu has been frozen or Injured, making a total, for tho year of 128,000,000 hectoliters. Tho estimated yield of wheat for 1801 will be 82,779,000 hectoliter?, This is Mm maximum estimate; it will bo 32 per cent less than the harvest of 1890. Russia, Tunis, Egypt, Roumania and some of the Danublun provinces will have a fair harvest. In Hungary It will be below tho averago this year. Tbe ostimates glvou by tho millers, the report says, are optimistic; tho de Blro to creato tho Impression thst thoro Is a better supply thau really exists Is dono with a purpose. They waul to buy grain as cheaply posslblo lu thoso fortuuato countries that have their abundance to export. In 1890, 17,087, 787 acres wero BOwn with wheat ami tho average yield t was 10.7 hectoliters per acre, 15,000, 000 hectollteis wore used for Beed, making not quite eight bushels for 11 ft ecu bushels. In conclusion the report says that ndt only Franc, but all Europe, is looking longingly to the wheat fields of tho United States. Lnst year many hoped that South America would help supply the deficit, especially tho Argentine Republic, but today no mention ! mado of these countries. AH hope Is built upon tho United States har vest. Tho fact, aB recently stated, Is that the supply for Europe must como from America. ENCII-AND ANIMVOHLD'SFAIK. London, July 14.
