Uanada's Population Disappointing.

The census returns show the popula-
tion of Canada to be in round numbers
5,5o0,0oo. This is an increase of about
6oo,00o over the figures of 1891, which
were sos, 900 over those of 1881. The
returns of 1881 gave an increase of 6s5,-
600 over the figures for 1871. The in
crease is disappointing Everyone

tion. There were evidences that the
country was going ahead faster than
the increase 10 the population shows.
1t is limited in official circles that the
explanation of this is that the returns
for 1891, especially for the province of
Ontario, were stuffed.
