93.516 and in 1890 but 1883. In that
time the old state of New Jersey
trebled it's population: Missouri's quad

and the population of Texas is more
than ten times as large as it was in
1850. Wyoming with half the popula-
ton of New Mexico has had n growth
nearly if not quite twice as rapid and
more substantial. Indeed the latter $
population is for the most part of a
character which would do credit 10 any
state in the Union. This can hardly
be said of quite a part of the popula
ton of New Mexico.
There has been, what would seem to

lation. 1t will appear to very many

be cognizant of the fact that the num-
