cHIcAco's WONDERFUL GROWTH.
Facts and Figures as Furnished nv the
New York World

New York World.
The total male registration in Chi
cago this year is 313.676 The registra-
ton In New York is 300, 931. Upon the
OASIS OF one voter to seven of the nom
ulation this would give Chicago 26.-
ooo more inhabitants than New York.
AFTER every explanation that can be
maze or this showing, the fact remains
that Chicago has for the moment
beaten New York in the contest for
hrst rank in voters and population
That Chicago has achieved this result
by consolidating the territory and non
uiation that naturally belong to her
does not detract from her credit
Ihat the greater Chicago is bigger than
the smaller New York is reflection
upon our sagacity, public spirit, and en-
terprise, not reflection upon the meth
DDS OF the mighty metropolis of the west.
Chlcago has an area of 1872 square
mics, while the technical New York
mas less than 40 square miles. The
western city Is "a miles long north
and south. and 1915 miles wide at the
broadcast part. Its increase in popula-
ton Is without a parallel i'm the history
of the world. 1t is the greatest triumpb
In the annals even of American growth
and enterprise.
The city was mere trading most
CD years ago.Its charter is dated March
4, 1887. when the population was 4.170.
OF whom only 703 were voters. In 1910
the population had Increased TO 4.47O.
IN 1850 to 29,963, in 1860 to 112,172, in 1870
TO 29S,977. in 1880 to 503, 1856, and in 1890
to 1,O99,S5O. Upon the basis Of this
years registration the newspapers OF
Chicago claim a population of 2,175, 1892.
This is indeed a marvellous showing
1t Is one of which all Americans have
reason to be proud. even as they were
proud of that greatest and most heautf-
Iul OF Chicago's achievements, the
White City of the worlds fair.

they have had quite as much rain as they

be glad to see more. while others again are
suffering from dry Weather. The fact is that
the rains which have fallen from a very few

from the southeast and crossing the island:
consequently certain stretches of country
have been well watered, while the interven-
ing stretches have remained dry. East End

1t Is quite normal, however, that, after the
May rains, we should have a falling off in

usual increase in July and afterwards. no
great harm will be done.
