Appreciation.

We publish few frst-class items
of approval from our exchanges on the
recent enlargement of the DAILY STATES
MAN We publish them to show our bus
iness men that their enterprise, in coming
out so strongly, is not only appreciated
by us, bnt also by the people OF the sur
rounding country The enlargement has
had the effect We intended We wished
to show the outsiders that our merchants
were Just what We had always represented
them 10 be, l. t.. enterprising, energetic
and public spirited. 1t has been very hard
indeed on the STATESMAN Office since the
enlargr rment, but the appreciation We have
received has more than repaid us for the
hard work we have all gone through. The
indefatisable employees of this office stood
in ncbIy and take pride in belonging TO
the office. But our foreman, Jas. kerby,
is entitled TO as much praise as any one
We had but to hint to frm that ar en-
largement would be appreciated by our
patrons and he at once set tn work. In
this he wasassisted by Messrs john Dunno,
Frank Wheeler and Robert Pelkey. We
are proud of our free, for they are always
ready for any emergency

The Census Nearly Complete.

As announced by Gen. Walker III his
report, all but seven enumerators' sched-
ules have been received at the Census
Office Owing, however to the work in

ticable for the Office to give statement
of the population Of the country in time
for use by the President in his message.
Thus far in the nintren bulletins issued, -,
the statistics cover Population of 9, AZ,
$50 distributed through fifteen States.
The population Of the same districts in
1870 was 7,420, ,207, gam OF 2,022, ,143,
or 2l.4 per cent A corresponding gain
throughout the Country would make the
