ADMIRAL SCHLEY.

Historian Edgar S. Maclay,
in his account of the Spanish
war, has taken occasion to
call Admiral Schley a coward,
a cur, and a traitor, and the
worst of it is the fact that our
great. glorious navy depart
ment is apparently back of
the accusation. Secretary
Long denies reading the ar.
ticle before it was printed,
while the historian says he
did read it. As Admiral
Schley has asked for an in
vestigation, We believe it the
duty of President Mckinley
to step in as commander in
chief of the army and navy,
and have this unwholesOrre
national scandal settled.

son and his pet, Crownin-
shield, will never give Schley

Over one-quarter of the entire pop
ulation of the country is found in the
large cities.
The 15s cities having a population
of over $4,000 inhabitants combined
have a population of 10, 694, 625.
No n state in the entire union
could furnish a population great
enough to people the S largest cities.
The population of the 3 largest cit
les combined would exceed that of
the I'd state, Pennsylvania. The pop
ulation of the 4 largest cities would
almost equal the entire population OF
the Empire state.
The absolute increase in the popula-
ton of the 159 largest cities from 1890
to 1900 wa 4,s39 1876, OF 81, 426 less than
the absolute increase from 1880 to 1890,
when it was 1921. 500. The percentage
of increase from 1896 to 1900 vas 32.5
against 49.5 the decade previous.
In 1880 there were but 20 cities which
contained more than 100 COO inhab-
itants, but in 1890 this number had in
creased to 20, and in 1900 to 3s. In 1900
there were 70 cities of $1,000 inhab-
itants or as compared with SIS

DISTRIBUTION OF CHIEF CITIES

Massachusetts contains more large
cities than any other state in the
union. Of the 159 largest cities this
old state has 20.
Pennsylvania ONE a close second
to Massachusetts, with IS large cities.
New York state is third, with IL.
The little state of New Jersey is
fourth in the list with 10 of the large
cities, and Ohio is fifth, having 9.
Illinois m next in line with z.
Iowa has six large cities within it's
borders.
Five states each have S of 159 cities
containing a population of $4,000 in
habitants or more. These five states
are Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Con-
necticut and Texas.
The following named states and
territories do not at this time con-
tain any city with a population of
$4,000 or more: Arizona, Idaho, In
dian territory, Mississippi, Nevada,
New Mexico, North Carolina. North Da-
kota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, YER
mont and Wyoming.

HOW STATES HAVE GROWN.

The population of Michigan is more
than sos times as large as hat given
for 1910, the date of the first census
taken in that territory.
Indiana holds second place in the
matter of phenomenal increase in pop
ulation between the taking of the first
and of the last census. The inhab-
itants of the state now number over
446 times what the returns gave in
1900.
Illinois is third in this classification
OF the states, its population now num-
bering over 392 times what it did in
1910. The close proximity of these
three states is worthy of note, as also is
their almost Simultaneous settlement.
Minnesota comes fourth in such a
classification of the states, but her rec
ord is really as wonderful as that of
Michigan, for it is to be considered
that her first census was taken as late
~ as 1850, at which time Michigan's
population was 397, 654, and Minnesota's
only SOFT. Minnesota now has a pop
ulation exceeding 2sS times the latter
figure.
Mississippi has multiplied its popu-
lation IT'S times within the century
just closed. The two Dakotas come
along each having at the present time
a population nearly $50 times as large
as at the first ensus taken in those
localities. The Dakotas' increase is
really larger, however. than Missouri's,
because the comparisons are made
with Missouri's census of 1910 and that
of the Dakotas in 1860. Ohio has a
population 91h times greater than she
had a century ago, and Arkansas fig
ures show a population now 80 times
greater than in 1920.

per cent. The same cities showed an
increase from 1880 to 1890 of 2,567, ASP,
or 4o.6 per cent.
The population of Greater New
York is greater than that of all Mis-
souri,, the 5th state of the union, in
rank of population. Following the
states down according to rank, n
does not get quite halfway before
reaching 2 whose combined popula-
ton does not equal that of the oun
try's metropolis. Minnesota and Mis-
sissippi (ranking 10th and Goth, re-
spectively) could not together fur
nish enough people to make a town
that would come up to Greater New
York in number of inhabitants.
The 10 cities taking the leading rank
comprise New York, which, with more
than 3,oOO,o 900 inhabitants, properly
stands by itself; 2 cities, Chicago and
Philadelphia, each of which has a. pop
ulation in excess of a million; 3 cities,
St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore, which
have a population of half a million
each; 5 cities, Cleveland. Buffalo, San
Francisco, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
which have a population between 3O0,-
00G and 40O, 900 each; and 8 cities, New
Orleans, Detroit, Milwaukee. Washing
ton, Newark, Jersey City, Louisville
and Minneapolis, which have a popu-
lation of between zoo, 900 and 300, 900
each.

THE - ORIGINAL STATES.

In 1890 the various states in rank
of population were as follows: (1) Vir-
ginia, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) North Car
DINA, a. Massachusetts,, (5) New
York, Co. Maryland, ~ South Caro-
lima, (s) Connecticut, (9) New Jersey,
(1O) New Hampshire, (11) Georgia, (12)
Rhode Island and (1s) Delaware.
The order in rank of these states has
considerably changed since the first
census, being o as follows: (1D
New York, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) Mas
sachusetts, a. Georgia, (5) North Car
DINA, (6) New Jersey, () Virginia, (s)
South Carolina, (s) Maryland, (1o) Con-
necticut. (11) Rhode Island, (12) New
Hampshire and (1s) Delaware.
Pennsylvania and Delaware are the
only ones among the original states
at the present time holding the same
relative rank in population as in 1890.
Pennsylvania is the only one holding
the sarae absolute position, being I'd
now as in 1890. Delaware is now 46th
in rank among the present states and
territories.
In 1890 Virginia was first among the
states, and New York 5th. New York
is now first and Virginia is 18th among
the original states and 18th among all
the states and territories of the union.
Georgia has made the most notable
leap among the original states in the
matter of rank, being 18th in 1890, and
4th now among the original states.
Another notable fact in this same con-
n~ection is that in 1890 the population
of the territory now embraced in the
state of Maine and the population OF
what is now Vermont, in each case ex-
ceeded in number the population OF
Georgia. Georgia is still 18th in the
column of states, as in 1890, and Maine
has been relegated to 30th place and
Vermont to 10th. Still another notable
fact is the rate of Georgia's growth
in the past ITO years as compared with
the rate of growth of the other states.
Georgia's present population is just
under 81 times what it was in 1890.
The nearest approach to this among
the 10 states is in the case of New York,
whose population is about 21 times
what it was when the first national
census was taken.

CONCERNING VARIOUS STATES

All of North Dakota's39 countieshave
increased in population in the past 10
years. Wells county has increased by
nearly 600 per cent; three other u
ties Billings, Mclean and Pierce), by
nearly 500 per cent. The state has %
incorporated cities, towns and vii
lagos.
The population Of Nebraska is
than 81 times as large as that given lot
1860, the first year in which the popula-
ton appears in the census report. There
are about IA people to each square
mile. One county Boyd has shown In
the last decade a phenomenal increase,
the population now being nearly 10
times greater than in 1890. Nearly
t~wo-ffths of the counties Of the
state have shown a decrease. One
county (Hooker) shows in the census
report an increase of only 6 for the
decade. Lincoln has a population
v e 3 times as great as in 1881.
Omaha's advance has not been nearly
so great, but South Omaha has grown
very rapidly, and mostly in the past
10 years. This latter city is over three
times as great as in 1890.
Illinois has an area of $4,000 square
miles, and for each square mile Gland
surface) there are sc inhabitants.
The past decade has seen a great
er increase in population than any
previous decade in the history OF
the state. This increase has lacked less
than 5000 of being 100000. Only 6
counties out of the 102 have shown a
decrease in population. All the rest
have shown a rather steady advance in
the decade. There are $50 incorpo-
rated cities, towns and villages in Hi
nois. In 1910 Chicago had only 4,47o in
habitants. The city's present popula-
ton of 1895, SIS is over 357 times the
former figure. Peoria is the second
city in the state, and then come in or
der the following cities: Quincy,
Springfield, Rockford, East St. Louis
and Joliet.
All of Minnesota's SO counties have
increased in population since 1890.
The largest increase is in Hen
nepin county, the largest percentage
of increase is that of Beltrami, which
shows a population 3,435.3 per cent.
Larger now than 10 years ago. The
state numbers 447 incorporated cities,
villages and ~borroughs. Three cities

Two states, Illinois and Ohio, have
between 1000, 600 and 5000, 900 inhab-

Ohio in the census of 1890. In 1880 the
positions were exactly reversed, though
neither state at hat time had anywhere
near 100000 people.
Texas and Missouri are the two
states which number between 5000, 900
and 1000, 900. Missouri had better look

Some Notable Changes.

Among the most notable changes in
the rank of cities which have taken
place since 1880 may be mentioned that
Of Seattle, which has advanced from the
15Oth to the 4sth pace; that of Los
Angeles from the 135th to the Seth
place; that of Duluth from the 156th
to the 72d place; that Of Kansas City
Kan. from the 153d to the 10th place;
and that of Portland, Ore, from the
106th. to the AID place. Other notable
changes in, rank from 1880 to 1900 are
Birmingham, from 154 to 90; Tacoma,
from 155 to 1903; Spokane, from 157 to
los; Dallas (before the flood), from 1877
to So; and Saginaw, from 136 to SO.
