growth of our population, the difference be-
tween the numerical male and female status
mere being very dissimiar to that in Europe
In the United Kingdom, including Ireland,
with a total population of about 100000
Oh souls, there are more males than females.
In the United States, on the contrary, with
a population of 1000, 600, the reverse is
observable, the ladies having a clear majority
OF 100000, This inequality does not hold
good' however, in all parts of the country
Tor while Massachusetts, for instance, has
ohUOO more women than men, in Illinois
there are 52, 600 more of the latter than OF
Tile former. California has G7,000 Michi-
gan 10000; Texas, 3G,OOO and Wisconsin
43,OOO more of the sterner than of the gentler
Sex, while in Colorado there is not one lady
to twenty gentlemen-a most deplorable de
teiency. The condition of the still more
recently opened territories is even worse in
TINS respect, as the late shipment of seven
hundred young DANES, in one vessel, from
New York to the Pacific Coast, would GER
tainly indicate. Even in Utah. where poly
gamy has full sway, there are quite as many
males Ps there are females after ALL In the
State of New York the difference is in favor
of the fair ones but slightly, while in Penn
sylvania the advantage is the other way.
One of the main causes of these discrepan-
cies may be found in immigration, and we
therefore naturally pass to the consideration
ofthat most powerful element in our national
progress. The following statistics from the
three latest census records will illustrate the
subject. immigration to the United States
