Tired OF Their Political Disadvantages the

Carroll, of SitlIa, Alaska, chosen by the
Territorial convention held at Juneau
in October last to represent the Terri
tory as delegate in Congress, provided
Chat body should see fit to grant it the
right of representation, has arrived and
talks freely. The country, he said, un-
dOubtedly needed a representative in
Congress-, but If that body denied it to
the people there were other things
which il should grant rs a matter of
simple 5ustice to relieve the people Of
grievances which were fast growing in

OF yTIal IA dtlStlcs OF the census once
has prepared bulletin, which is now in
press, containing summary Of the re-
suits of special inquiry concerning the
Jews in this country. This resulted in
the return of 10,61s completed family
schedules, embracing 60,6S0 living per-
sons, December 81, 1889, and in these
families there had been ALAS marriages,
6,03s births and 2,O6a deaths during the
five years ended that date. The social
condition Of the families Is indicated to
some extent by the number of servants
kept by them, and as about two
thirds are reported as keeping one or
more servants the families reported
may be said to be in easy circumstances.
The average number Of persons to each
family December 81, 1889, was 5,71 and
the average annual number for the five
years covered by these statistics 5.47.
The average annual number Of mar
riages per 1000 of population was much
lower than.the general rate, being but
IA, and the average age at marriage
was greater than among the general pop
ulation. The low marriage rate and the
increased average age at marriage are
the principal reasons for the low birth
rate. The deaths reported for the
five years give an annual death
rate Of I'll per 1000 of population,
being about half of the average rate for
the general population. The expecta-
ton of life at the age of 10 years based
upon the death rate for the year 1889 is
Gill and 5000 years for males and fe-
males respectively, as against 1899 and
4s.O5 as calculated by life insurance
companies for the general population of
this country. Contrasting the birth and
death rates for those of native-born and
foreign-born parents it indicates that
the birth rate is decreasing and the
death rate increasing with more pro-
longed residence in this country, but
the general results indicate that the
Jews here retain many of the peculiar
tiles which have been noted among
them in Europe.
