H CENSUS U

The census figures are disappointing, No
one had figured upon a decrease and the sur.
prise over the announced result Of the census
IL general. Naturally under such conditions.
many will allege this decrease, upon first
thought. to incorrectn.ss Of the figures. But
without proof Of errors to demonstrate the
claim, this charge will be attributed to the
soreness all feel over crushed expectations.
especially IL a study Of the situation support
the announced figures.
Let us examine first outside conditions. and
see in what group Of counties Saline Is keep.
ing company. They are such as Grundy.
Rails. Pike. Audrain, Randolph and Johnson.
They embrace many Of the old counties Of
North and Central Missouri, which were set.
tied early and had their resources better dc.
veloped than many Of the sparsely settled
counties Of the southwest aud south. which
show the greatest growth outside Of the cities.
That all the mistakes should occur in the q
class Of counties would be unreasonable to
suppose. hence let Us inquire into the causes
which have affected not only Saline, but many
others; as Howard, Carroll and Charlton. with
very small gains, are practically in the same
boat.
In the first place. emigration from Saline
has been heavy. Only a year ago a train load
OF families left Sweet Springs to COLOMBO por.
lions Of North Dakota. In certain sections Of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, Saline
county is we'll represented, and throughout
the West, for that matter, former residents Of
this county have made new homes. No doubt

les OF the West. who lived once in old Sa.
line Secondly, this emigration has far ex.
ceeded immigration, as real estate men are
we'll aware that the number Of land buyers
who have come in from the outside in the last
ten years is very small.
But even the natural propagation Of the
race has not shown itself. Representative
Whiteco,ton Of Monroe attributes this to the
fact that large families have gone out Of fash
ion IN the old slave-holding sections of the
state" TO verify this, he offers the decrease in
the attendance of the primary grades OF the
public schools. Saline would rather confess to
a loss in population than to a growth in the
percentage Of il!iteracy.
There is a tendency toward big farms in Sa-
line, proven even IN the figures Of 1890, which
compared with those of 1880. show decreases
in the populations Of the townships Of Clay.
