Tangipahoa Parish shows an in

only credited with . gain Of $50
Hammond shows . gain Of over
1000, yet they only claim about 900
inhabitants. The figures given for
Tangipahoa Parish are probably
correct, but those for Hammond
and Amite City are grossly inaccu-
rate our town has assuredly IN.
creased her population more than
80 in ten years-there have been
that many births in two years, be-
sides the large number Of new-com-
ers. The State census has It over
400; We claim 1900. East Felici.
ana Is put down - having gained
2770, while Jackaou 10 put down
with . gain Of 1896 and Clinton
shows . gain Of 1851, and both OF
these towns are in East Feliciana
Parish. st. Helena Parish shows .
gain Of 52S, yet Greensburg is
credited with . gain Of 1923, thus
showing . total population Of 1926.
But the most absurd statement
comes from St. Tammany parish,
which parish l. said to have lost
34S in population, while Madison
vile, which il in St. Tammany par
ish, looms up with . gain OF 1884.
All these figures are preposterous,
absurd and sublimely ridiculous,
from beginning to end, and shows
the Census Bureau 10 be . rotten
Republican machine, where the ne
turns are doctored to suit the in
terests OF the Republican party
ANTE City GA2otte.
The question may well be asked,
"What b the matter with the Gen.
sus Bureau?" The report for this
parish i exceedingly ridiculous, |
and would be the laughing-stock Of |
the people, Il the matter was not OF
such IN important nature. A glance |
It the report Of State enumerators, !
taken two months before the Gov.
census, win show the far
pical nature Of the latter returns.
The following b the population

By the State and United States emu
meratoes:

United States. ...... 65A 6687
Increase, according to the State
census, $500, or 3l.4 per cent.
Decrease, recording to United
'tates census, 343. |,
In the last ten years, according +,
. the Government enumerators,
ur parish hes lost S4s in popula- ,
lon. The absurdity OF such .
tatement b apparent to every one.
thousands Of newcomers have set /,
ed here during that time, to say
othing Of The natural increase, and
ew homesteads can be seen In Ill .
Irections; also, our assessment rolls :
low . constant increase In taxable .
luss. being greater this year than :
'er before. The State census, show \
g IN increase Of over $500, b h
asonable, but No believe . close
unit would give our parish over =
1000 population, . gain Of d
or 5000, instead Of . loss OF over -
%. According to the State CEN .,
., our parish he's 1897 voters-Is :,
~ 8 less than 2000-and the -.
blished estimate IL that there b :,
o voter to every i've inhabitants, in
Itch would indicate . population IN
10000.
