The Tribune Of August % tPartly estimated
The percentage Of gains in the last ten years is
not so great as in the previous decade, but. not
withstanding the gross gains in OF the towns
ought 10 be satisfactory TO the most exactng CEN
sus crank in the country. particularly those OF
greater New-York. Chicago. Philadelphia. St.
Louis, Cleveland and some of the others. The
gross gain in Chicago is almost precisely the
in the preceding decade, but the percentage of
increase is, Of course much less. The ratio is
greatly increased in greater New-York over that
between 1880 and 1890 well in st. Louis. Cleve
land, Newark, Indianapolis, New-Orleans and
other cities OF course the percentage of increase
IN some OF the smaller cities, in Toledo and In
oianapolls. is much greater than in the larger
places, although the gross is comparatively nfin-
iiesinlaL For instance, the increase alone in ST.
Louis is about equal to the entire population OF
Toledo and Of the others. The total increase
In greater kew-York is equal to the combined pop
ulation Of the seven cities of Minneapolis. Indian
apolis, ST. Paul. Rochester Toledo. Columbus and
Omaha. This fact need not detract from the pride
Of size on the part of the cities named but it
the less fact.
Some Of these cities would make still better
comparative showing in aggregate population but
for their misfortune Of being divided into two or
more municipalities by geogra aphical lines. This is
particularly the case with greater New-York, al
though that evil has already been partially
cured by taking in Brooklyn. etc; also with
Pittsburg. the twin cities Of Minneapolis and St
VILE Omaha. and perhaps others. In this re-
F2ect greater New-York is still the greatest suf-
ferer Of all the cities Of the Union. Jersey City
Newark Hohoken, etc having aggregate popula-
tion Of 900 people, approximately are all in
tents and purposes just much a part Of greater
New-KorR as Brooklyn Richmond Borough
Next TO New-York, the centre of population in
and about Boston is the worst cut up into different
municipalities under various names. The popula-
ton Of these towns has yet been bulletined,
but experts estimate that there are in excess of
10000 people closely concentrated in half dozen
towns theTeaboIts under the various names of Bos-
ton Cambridge. Chelsea, Somervile, etc, on about
one-third the territorial area included under tie
name Of Chicago. They are separated only by tie
inhowing rivers arms Of the bay, apa>ough\to
be, as they practically are, one city.
Minneapolis and ST. Paul are practically one city,
despite their differential names ASo are Pittsburg
and Allegheny. St. Louis and East St. Louis, Kan
sas City. No, and Kansas City, Kan. Omaha and
Council Bluffs. New-Orleans should be credited
with a considerable population the west bank Of
the Mississippi River. Doubtless there are others
which suffer from this fault even more than some
of those named II several such municipalities were
consolidated under one name, here would be the
approximate result, estimating some Of the smaller
towns the returns from which have not yet been
bulletined

Ihe consolidation Of the returns in this manner
Is perfectly legitimate TO the essential purpose Of
The census in this matter, which is to show where
