Ever go many oil the clties arc diSgusted
with their census returns. Wheeling Is
among the few cities that came out OF the
hands Of the enumeraton full as well, II
not q little better, than we expected. She
was ambitious to be 4 80. 900 city, and she
is nearly 50 900. For this reason she iS
happy. But not so with Cleveland, Gin.
cInnati, st. Louis and several other ctties.
st. Louis Is disgusted to find, after all her
blowing that she Is 100 900 behind Chica.
She is going to hold an indignation meet.
ing and protest against the count. Peorin
and Dayton also feel bad over their re-
turns.
St. Louis and Peoria show considerable
temper on the subject and blame the
Federal enumeratoB for not coming up
to their great expectation, but as these
officials are paid by the number OF names
taken OF actual persons in their districts
the natural inference Is that they would
have no inducement to omit any or many.
A few may have been overlooked in com.
pactly inhabited localities, and some,
situated in out.otthe.way points, might
be avoided, but the census must be as.
sumed to have been almost as fairly taken
as possible under the circumstances.
New York having 1900 900, an increase
oil so per cent in ten years, is satisfied.
St. Louis. having hundred thousand less
than Chicago, is frantic. Chicago looks
with contempt upon St. Louis, and Gin
ciunati, being credited with $4,000, nine.
ty thousand more than Cleveland, Is os.
tensibly happy, Tut evidently secretly
plQued at not approaching more nearly TO
Chicago's 447,OOO. Dayton complains
that contrary to all expectations the pop.
nlati0n falls below 4O0oO, being given at
IS 75l, and Springfield, Illinois, has barely
20 900 instead OF the 25,OO0 confidently
looked for. Springfield had l7,0OO ten
years ago, making the increase altogether
TOO small to satisfy her opinion. Peoria
asserts that 5000 people In that place have
been missed, and Quincy feels quite as
badly.
The system 0i making the count was
probably as good as could be devised, aud
II the result falls NO far beiOG ghHt was
expected, It may be that the American
habit OF rashly crrditing every other pros.
psrous business man with "milliOus' and
