Some Facts of the Census.

The United States census bulle-
tin giving the sex, nativity and
color of the people of the United
States presents great deal of ln-
teres,,ng information, and although
it is made up chiefly of statistics
and figures III tabular arrangement,
the revelations made by these are
extremely instructive and import
ant. 1t is shown by the figures
presented that the men are IN a
very considerable ma ority, equal
to l,sl5,O97. so that every woman
in the country could have a bus'
band with largely more than mil
lion males left over. But the diff
ficuIty is that the men and women
are not properly distributed, since
in the far western states there IS 3
large overplus of men, while ii
some of the older states, and par
t,cularly IN New England, there ii
a large excess of women. Thu
men in many instances emigratee
to the newer States of the Wes
aud left their women behind, ant
this has been largely the case will

from foreign countries.
