THE PENINSULAR STATE.
Michigan shows an Increase of Over e!
Per Cent.

Michigan shows an increase of 27.92 pes
cent. and several new counties. The fol-
lowing have been organized since 1880:
Alger in 1885, from Schoolcraft; Arenac
in 1883, from Bay; Gogebic in 1887, from
Ontonagon; Iron in 1895, from Marquette
and Menominee, and Luce in 1887, from
Chippewa and Mackinac. When parts of
counties have been taken to fQ,m new
counties the population according to the
census of 1880 of the part taken is deducted
from the population in 1880 of the county
from which it was taken, wherever possi-
BILE, and is set over against the population
of the new county for 1890, as in this way
comparison to show growth is more ac-

band as he looked around
"No. l hain't saving a VOID to mo-

Pretty soon the young wife rested her
head upon her husbands shoulder. aud
the old man uttered a a'Humphr' which
caused the bridegroom to turn his head
and inquire:
"Were you addressing me, sir?"
"Nol / hain't addressed nobody fur

Five minutes later the bridegroom
reached his right hand up and pinched
her cheek in playful way, and the ''by

length of the car.

CENSUS SURPRISES,
Some Odd Results OBJ

MARKED RURAL DECLINE

That the completed census OF 1890 was
looked for with unusual eagerness, that
the first figures given out excited much
kurprise and that this was followed soon
by angry criticism in few localities, are
facts of common knowledge, But the gem
nral public may even now be surprised to
learn that the changes are much greater
and the surprises far more startling In
many localities which do not complain.
The enumerators began their work on the
first day of June, 1890. In nearly all the
cities the work was completed within two
weeks, but In the rural regions month
was allowed and in many of them much
more time was taken rs matter OF neces-
sity. In a few the enumerators were so
slow that they delayed the completion to
she 2lst of October, thus embarrassing the
office very seriously.
On the 25th of that month the census
announced the total population as g., $780,
$40, which was subsequently corrected to
b2.622, $50. Three factors excited general
astonishment AS the immigration had
been more than twice as large as in any
previous decade, it followed, If the census
was correct, that the rate Of native increase
had fallen off nearly one-half. 1t also ap-
peared that the colored population had not
increased as usual, and that nearly all the
purely agricultural regions east Of the
Mississippi were stationary or declining.
But all these facts were overlooked in the
storm raised by localities where the people
thought themselves wronged.
The thirteen states here detailed COM
prise the largest and smallest of the older
states, the states with the greatest increase
and the one state (Vermont with the
smallest increase of any in the Union
Nevada alone shows decrease), while
they represent nearly all branches of pro-
duction. The purely agricultural and
grazing states, however, must be consid-
cred separately The tables herewith given
tell their own story. The letter "a" in each
case means decrease:
