The Cry OF New ORLEANs.--In 1910 the popu-
laton of New Orleans bad increased so rapidly for
the preceding ten years that hopes confident
ly entertained and expressed by that that city
would ere many years outstrip even New York.
But railroads have worked wonderful revolution,
a part of the fruits Of which may be seen by the
following from the New Orleans Bulletin of the
29th ultimo:
Gin 1S40 the population of New Orleans and
baltimore was within fraction of being alike
New Orleans then numbered 1902 900 souls, and
Baltimore l02,3l3. Boston then had a population
Of 93,3s2. and Cincinnati 1862. Now our rela.
tive position is as follows: Baltimore 1863 G25 Bos-
ton isS,7sS. New Orleans ll6,407, and Cincinnati
ll6,l6S.
"Of twenty -four cities, each with population
OF over 200, VIC find that the rate OF increase
has been less in New Orleans than in any one of
the remaining twenty three. This is a Notifying
truth, but there is no in Disgusting it; il may
serve to point moral"
