the census are in many respects very
interesting. Thus, the extent and
power of the anti-marital forces can
be estimated in way by ascertalnIng
the proportion Of people between %
and 81 years Of age who have never
been married Census statistics
show that the proportion OF unma =
ried females between these ages is
greatest in the East, in North Caro-
lima. Rhode Island, and MaSSachu-
sets. for instance, while the proper.
tion is smallest in the West, South
Dakota, Utah, and Oklahoma
bringing mp the rear in the order
named. Men, on the contrary, are
far more likely to remain single IN
the West than in the East. The
proportion OF unmarried men between
80 and G. is lowest in the Southern
States. c. e, Arkansas, Alabama,
aud Georgia. and greatest IN the
block of Western States west OF the
Mississippi. In Nevada 1872 FER
cert. of the males between % and 6l
have never been married, Idaho COM
ing next with 32.5 per cent, Monta-
ma next with 29.5 per cent, etc.
That marriage is still prominent
~ the sphere Of woman seems to be
indicated by the fact that more wom-
en- marry than men, and they marry
at earlier ages Thus, only 81 per
cent. of females ID years of age and
over are unmarried, while among
males Of the same ages the proper
ton is II per cent. Taking girls
and boys between - and 20 years Of
age, it is found that one out Of every
ten girls is married, while among
the boys the proportion falls to one
in two hundred. These were the
proportions in 1890. Whether these
conditions have changed since then
is a question that can only be answer
ed by the census of 1900

Senator Daniel has introduced an
important amendment, which he pro-
posed to be added to the sundry civil
appropriation bill. The amendment
proposed provides for the appropria-
ton of $l2, 900 to pay the state of
Virginia for advances made to the
United States in pursuance of the
Virginia general assembly passed
December 9th, 1890. The amend
ment has been referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations. Senator
Daniel has also offered an amendment
to the sundry civil bill providing for
an appropriation of 81 800 for one
agent to be selected by the secretary
of the navy from the officers of the
late confederate navy, by reason of
their personal experience and special
aptitude, in connection with the work
of collecting and compiling the naval
records.

The Question OF the Census
Questions.

The objects of the federal census
are of three kinds: TO furnish basis
for the apportionment Of Representa-
tives in the lower house of Congress;
to ascertain the growth Of the United
States in numbers, health, and indus
try; and to investigate the social or
carnations and institutions which
determine the growth of population
and wealth. The first is constltu-
tional necessity, the second a study
Of facts, and the third study OF
causes.
Probably no social institution is so
intimately connected with the growth
of population as that Of marriage.
In investigating marital conditions
the law requires about each person a
statement whether he or she is SIN
gle, married, widowed, or divorced;
If married, how many year. the mar
riagc has lasted; if a mother, how
many children she has had, and how
many Of these children are now liv-
ing.
From the answers to the questions
it is possible to determine the birth
rate, the prevalence Of marriage, the
proportion of women and children to
the whole population, the duration
and fluitlulness of marriage. So far
as the power and importance of ma
tions are dependent upon the size Of
the population, to that extent is the
accurate determination of these ques-
lions a matter Of public necessity.
In the tinted States there would
seem to be little danger Of decline
in the population. But even when
we are sure that the population is
growing, it is still necessary to know
how it is growing. The millions Of
India are increasing, but it is 10y a
process Of many births and many
deaths. In sood yes millions are
born; in times of famine millions die,
the population increasing because a
few more are born than die. 1t is
growth, but savage growth. There
is a more excellent kind OF progress,
that resulting from the combination

The Twelfth Census.

On the first day of June thousands
Of families all over the country re-
ceived visits from persons carrying
large portfolios who asked numerous
questions about the age, occupation,
&c, of their various members which
facts were carefully entered in the
portfolio.
And thus is begun the gigantic
task of finding how great we have
become, in fact, it is the Twelfth
Census.
In the June Uumscy. Mr.. Freder-
lex II. Wines tells how Uncle Sam
takes stock of his people and his pos
sessions. and estimates what it will
probably cost the old gentleman.
The head of the Census Bureau is
William II. Merriam, and he has I'M
der him more than forty thousand
employees. Most of these are the
local enumerators who began on
June lst to gather the required in
formation which will then be tabula-
ted at Washington by three thousand
clerks aided by some wonderful ma
chinery which will so facilitate the en-
terprise that instead Of nine years,
the time required TO complete the last
census report. the reports will be
in readiness by June |, 1902. In
fact they must be published then ac-
cording to a recent Law.
This accounts for the vast army of
enumerators, clerks, and superintend-
ents employed by the government for
the great task before them.
The salaries of the three thousand
clerks in Washington will amount to
nearly three million dollars per year.
The pay Of the enumerators will foot
up five million dollars or n ore. Add
to this the expense Of publishing the
reports, the cost of materials, and the
pay ofspecial agents and it seems
likely that, with the most economic
al administration, declares Mr.. Wines,
1t will cost upwards of fifteen million
dollars to learn how great we have
become. lie goes on to say:
"ln compiling the results of the
enumeration each person in the
United States will be represented by
a card. The facts recorded concern
ing each person are shown by holes
punched in the cards. Expert
ence has shown that the average
number of records that can be trans
ferred from the schedules to the
punch cards by each clerk in one day
is seven hundred.
AS fast as the cards are punched
and sorted according to sex, natively,
or color, the cards will be taken to
the machine room and run through
the electric tabulating machines.
TO take off all the information con-
tanned on the cards they will be run
through the machines four or posi-
bly, five times. Each instrument is
capable Of disposing OF about five
thousand cards per day. and it will
