About ten thousand persons assembled
some twenty miles east of Columbus. Ind, on
Sunday last to witness the unveiling OF
monument marking the centre Of population
Of the United States. II does not appear that
the handsOmely-pOlished gray limestone col
umn. ONLY fifteen feet high. suitably Inscribed
was erected on the precise spot which was the
centre of population on the day the last CEN
sus was taken That spot was not available,
being already occupied. perhaps, by a
cabbage patch or something more useful.
Ii would have been interesting to know upon
what particular cabbage-head the centre fell
on the census day-1is size. color, conuluon
and the part it took in getting up the mOnu-
ment. 1t is not perfectly clear. however,
whether the new monument was intended TO
occupy the centre for 1890 or 1891, or
whether the assembled Indianians got the
thing TO be still long enough to mark it.
The centre of population, 1t IS well known,
wObbles. To-day it is in one place.
tomorrow in another. In 1910 a mOnume"t
was erected to it several miles northwest of
Washington, ID. c., whereupon 1t at once
went West. 1t has been going West more or
less ever since, except during the civil war,
when il wObbled north and south. When
Banks marched up the valley of Virginia af-
ter Stonewall Jackson in 1862, with big
army, the centre" made big lurch south
ward of course. But it lurched very rapidly
northward again when Jackson chased the
Federal commander across the Potomac.
However. the general movement has been
westward at the rate of A. miles year.
it, record is as follows: In 1890. % miles
east of Baltimore; ID 1900. is miles

As miles east by north Of Cincinnati, O.; in
1850 miles west by south of Cincinnati o.;
in 1890. 20 miles east Of Columbus. Ind. There
is no ground. perhaps, for a fear that the
