Its population Is over 10000. while 1t has
an adjacent population within radius
of five miles OF 10000 to $4,000 additional.
Its banking capital approaches very
near S3.o00,000 and its discounts upon
commercial paper Is 6 per cent
Its export trade for 1896 amounted to
Sl5.543,SS2. and the articles in that trade
embraced corn. cotton, coal, -four, lum-
Der. slaves. tobacco. oats, meal and al
most every other product known to the
commercial world. The vessels which
entered and cleared the port during the
past year represented S05.llO tons. The
postofiice receipts for that year were
S90,027.74. The revenue of the city. de-
rived from personal and reality taxa
uon. was s395.91i.34. The number Of
buildings erected during the year was
24s and their estimated value was
S434 400.
These facts, hurriedly sketched, are
sufficient to entitle Norfolk to be classed
as one of the leading cities of the .coun-
try. but somehow the Brooklyn Eagle
seems not to be aware of it. There
was never Il time when Norfolk at
tracted 50 much attention from every
section of the land as now, and the
time has never been when its future
was so bright as at present. 1t will
be well for the statistician of the Brook
lyn Eagle Almanac to make note Of it.
Norfolk Is pushing ahead.

STATISTICS OF LEADING AMERI.
CAN CITIES.

The Virglnian acknowledges the re-
ce!pt of copy of The Brooklyn Eagle
Almanac for the current year, and
while it finds much in it to interest and
instruct. it regrets that there are some
omissions which are quite unpardona-
BILE
For instance, our esteemed contempo-
rary pretends to publish the names of
the leading cities of the country, to-
gether with their statistics. and it Is in
this connection that The Virginian finds
fault with the almanac To illustrate.
in giving the names of the leading cities
it publishes Cohoes. of New York State.
with $4,000 inhabitants. and omits any
mention OF Norfolk whatever. This is
an omission for which there can be no
excuse. Surely the Eagle must have
heard of Norfolk, and lest its geo.
craphy may be nj fault, The Virginian
hastens to inform it that Norfolk is
situated in Virginia, on the Elizabeth
and is the terminal point of some OF
the best and most prosperous railroads
in the country.
In fact. it has nineteen railroads and
steamship lines centering here. among
which there are five transatlantic lines.
besides numerous smaller steamboat
lines trading between this port and the
interior sections Of this and the State of
North Carolina. j has the best harbor
on the Atlantic coast, harbor open
all the year round. and with sufficient
water to float the navies Of the world.

Finish IL UP.

The Legislature of 1898 passed law
providing for Reform school to be
located in Coconiuo county, and the
trustees appointed by the Governor
located that institution in Flagstaff.
The building has long since been COM
menced, and the walls of the same are
complete and the roof placed oven
them. The building has stood In this
condition for more than Is months,
and is an expense to the Territory Ia
It's present condition. The last Lagis-
lature converted IL into n branch in
sane asylum, made an appropriation
to finish tho building, aud balance
in the treasury Of over $1,000 to the
credit Of the Reform school was trans.
ferred to the branch asylum fund. Now
there seems no good reason why some
steps are not taken toward its COM
pletion. It il hoped that the incom.
ing Governor will take hold Of the
matter and see that the building is
flushed so 1t can be Of some utility to
the taxpayers of the Territory.
