CEN SUS FIGURES

From the New York Journal
 The census returns from thirty of the largest cities of the United States make it possible to give plausible guess of very disappointing character about our to- tai population. These cities, comprising all of over 100000, and most of those of over 100000 people, have 13,243,515 inhabitants in all. In 1890 their aggegate population was 10,03S, ASA. The increase in ten years has been 31.9 per cent.
 In 1880 these same cities had 6901,313 in- habitants. Their increase between 1880 and 1890 was 3,1S7,171, or 45.45 per cent.
 The increase in the population of the whole country between 1880 and 1890 was 24S6 per cent If an increase of 45.45 per cent. in thirty principal cities corresponds to an increase of 2LS6 per cent in the total population, to what does an increase or S1.9 correspond? Plainly, to 17.45 per cent, if the rules of proportion are good for anything. That is less than any decen- nial increase in our history. even that of the decade that included the civil war. It would give us a present population of 73,- 596S12.
 But this simple proportion overlooks tha enormous influence of suburban rapid tram sit in the past ten years in keeping city population down and the neighboring coun- try populations up When the full returns are in it will probably be found that this factor has affected the. proportion suffi- ciently to bring our population at least to 75,0O 900 or higher.

TWO ALABAMA CITIES

From the Huntsville Mercury
 The people of Birmingham are grieved because the census gives Mobile s. 46s in habitants and Birmingham only 3S,415. It is a difference of only 54 souls, but Bir- mingham wanted the difference, and that ambition was perfectly natural. The Age Herald offers consolation by reminding tho people of Birmingham that Greater Br- mingham contains 10000 people. The Age Herald is right. The size of city is known by the population within easy distance, in- stead of by metes and bounds.
 Huntsville, too, will suffer by reason of that Huntsville has a population of at least 1S,000 people. It has recently been sug- gested that the census returns will indicate very small growth as compared with 1S90 The reason is that Huntsville has grown beyond her corporate limits. Some of the handsomest residences in this city are outside the corporation. They have gas, electric lights, telephones, fire protec- ton, free delivery and all other conven- fences, and are to all intents and purposes a part of Huntsville, yet the enumerators those homes in the population of Hunts vile.
 It is rather disquieting to recall that Huntsville will be rated among the cities having a population of 10,000, when her street cars, lights, water and telephones serve at least 10000 people. Yet that is what the next ten years have in store for us.

to stand in the way of their plans in war times, and for a considerable period after wards. In the case of Porto Rico they are still legislating outside of the consti- tuition. and 1t is believed they intend to set up another imperial colony in the Phil ippines. Porto Rico is a colony, or else the 15-per-cent. duty is unconstitutional, but Porto Rico is expected doubtless to pave the way for a full colonial system in the Philippines. Those islands were eagerly seized for that purpose-seized be- fore they were ceded, as the President ad- mits in his letter of acceptance. The de- velopment of the Philippines into a colony or colonies will proceed apace if William Mckinley and Mark Hanna are continued in power
