A MAJORITY OF MEN.

There surprise oyer the disclosure of the cen
sus that there many men than women in this
country.
The general superstition that the number of men
land in the United States is about equal but it
turns out that there 100000 more of the former
than of the latter.
That is TO say, such the case in June 1900 when
the count was made.
In every 900 of the American people 512 are male
and 488 are female
For more than quarter OF century there has been
proporonatey greater of men and this tendency
lls growing
This is surprising in view of the fact that within lit
tie more than half century have had three wars,
those with Mexico, the civil war; and the brush with
Spain Our losses in the first and last of these wars
insignificant compared with the terrible death rate in bat
tie from wounds and disease in the bloody conflict between
the North and South. The loss of the lives of vast
number OF men is attributable to that struggle and it
would seem that it would have left the men in minority
Another thing that makes the continued performances
OF men Ia this county remarkable the fact that in
every country of continental Europe and the United
Kingdom there is uniformly majority of women
The difference in the situation here and in Europe is
