From the Detroit Free Press.
We would advise all young men who
intend marrying and who can support
a wife to take one presently ere they
are all pre-emptcd. A bulletin Just
issued from the census bureau shows
that there are not enough girls to 60
around now, and that they are decrcas-
ing in number, compared with men,
every decade. To every 100000 males
in the country in 1870 there were
81, eol females, but in 1880 there were
only 97,5l9; 30 that in every hundred
thousand men there must he 34sl
bachelors whether they like it or not.
There are comparatively few States in
which this is not the case, the females
preponderating only in the States along
the Atlantic coast, with the exception
of Delaware, and in Tennessee, Ala
bama and Louisiana, while in all the
other States and Territories the males
outnumber their sisters to such de-
gree as to overbalance this excess on
the other side, and to make the average
above mentioned. Strange as it may
sound to those who imagine every in
habitant of Utah polygamist there
are not enough women in that Terri
tory to furnish nine-tenths of wife
to each man, which possibly in part
accounts for the Indignation of those
who have not even fraction of one
against those who are l,oggisl enough
to monopolize several. Arizona is most
badly off in this respect, having but
43 women to every 100 men, or less
than half woman to each man, a
very painful state of affairs, indeed;
while the District of Columbia suffers
from the other extreme, and oompels
each man to resist as best he can the
charms of II of the other sex. Michi-
gan has but 89,T69 women TO each
100, 900 men, or trife less than nine
Ienths of woman for each of us on
a divide, and as most of the marriga-
Die males have already provided them

that minors and new settlers in a
