The Twelfth Census.

NsG the sake of convenience in arith-
metic and euphony In rhetoric as well
as the gratifying Of national pride we
had hoped that the population figures
Of the twelfth decennial census Of the
United States would reach the SO,OOO,-
900 mark. The official statement is
sued by the census bureau n few days
ago made the total population 1922
22O, Well, that is good many people
when we come to think Of it and a
pretty satisfactory showing of the
greatness Of our country. y ~
The first enumeration of the United
States in 1890 was the modest footing
of 3,929,214. 1t is Il marvellous growth
for ITO years. While the increase in
the last decade has not been so large as
in some previous decades, it is on the
whole gratifying and satisfactory.
Some sections. both urban and rural,
have not quite met the expectations Of
the public, though the estimate of the
conservative statisticians, 100000 in
round numbers, has been exceeded by
something more than million.
OF course there is more or less of dis
satisfaction in some ambitious CON-
munities whose population did not
reach their expectation, but upon the
whole it is conceded to have been an
exceedingly fair count. There is no
suspicion of any tampering with the
facts and figures, as there has been in
some other censuses. Considering the
vastness of the task and the diversity
OF the population, the twelfth census is
undoubtedly as correct IN enumeration
as susceptibility to human error would
permit. The director of the census
seems to have laid out his work as
faithfully and well and to have sur
rounded himself with as competent as
sistants as the nature of the case
would allow, and the public at large
will accept the final figures without
material dissent or question as to their
general accuracy. The cost of the
census when 1t is completed will be
something more than $6,OOO,O0O, which
is not an excessive expenditure for so
extensive work, the enumeration Of
inhabitants being only part Of the
great task committed by congress to
the twelfth census bureau. It involves
the compiling and tabulation of statis-
tics regarding the development Of our
resources, the aggregate of our wealth,
the dissemination Of intelligence and
morals and the material conditions of
our people. The findings of the census
bureau regarding these subjects will be
awaited with scarcely less interest
than was the count Of the people, and
if the work shall show as gratifying a
result we shall have still further cause
for graduation upon the greatness of
our country.

1t is stated that new Americas cup
defender will be built by the Here
shoffs, orders having already been
given for her construction by Anew
York syndicate. This is better than
though the cup committee had decided
to again rely on the Columbia in COM
petition with Iipton's new boat. 1t is
probable that the new Shamrock will
be better than the old one, having the
advantage of the experience of her
owner in American waters. The mar
gin between the Columbia and the
Shamrock in the former race was en-
tirely satisfactory, but not sufficiently
great to warrant too much reliance up
on the ability of the old defender to
hold the trophy against a craft that is
likely to present important points of
superiority over the old challenger. At
l events the spirit Of the New York
lchtsmen and the determination to
! I'D the cup are commendable and give
fair promise that Sir Thomas will not
be able to lift it.

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,

attacks been that we have feared many
times that he would die. We have
had the doctor and used many medi-
cines, but Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. It
seems to dissolve the mucus and by
giving frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we found that the

settled" There is no danger in Civ
