Ii the omissions on the part of the
census enumerators that have come to
the ears of The ARGUS constitute any,
thing for criterion, Rock Islaua's popu-
iation will be shown by the next national
census to be about one third what it was
In 1880, instead of at least third more
The ARGUS 8 not engaged IN war upon
the enumerators. but it is enlisted in a
hight for Rock Island and whatever be>
longs to it. We want our population
properly rec orded and set forth in the
Forthcoming census, and if it is not it
will be an irreparable disgrace and an in
jury to the city. Not day passes that the
ARGUS does not learn of families that
have been skipped Such omissions as
this mean something. and the city can't
afford to permit them. The ARGUS has
been agitatng this matter for several
days, and is willing to exert itself to the
best of its ability to have these omissions
counted. We want the correct census of
the city taken. We want no more than
is due us. but we want that much, and
insist upon having.
Inspector Bailey. of this district, should
be advised of the facts by telegraph, and
urged to have all omissions taken and
credited to Rock Island.
