Population by Mathematics.
Chicago Rocord-Herald.
In explaining the census guess which
was published yesterday the cenaufl bu-
reau says that It has "decided to make
annual estimate of population baaed
upon what is known aa tho arithmetical
method. This rests upon the assumption
that the annual increaae for each year
since the last census will bo one-tenth of
the decennial Increaso between the last
two censuses." In further explanation
there Is the following:
The country as a whole and mo*t of
the states and cities are growing with a
steadily decfeaanlg per cent of Increase.
As thla condition has obtained In the
t'nlted fltute« for the last twenty years,
it Is likely to hold good In the immediate
future, t'nder such conditions the arith*
metlcal method has been proved more ac-
curate than any alternative method.
So far as we can make out from this
not very satisfying hint, the arithmetical
methods consists In Ignoring all palpable
facts In the new development of the coun-
try for an exercise In figures which any
man could do ut his desk. The estimate is
entitled to n<j special authority as sn0of-

While the conditions In the far east

in the exports of cotton manufactures
from the United States, practically all
of the other important exports show a
marked increase, and it seems not im-
probable that the grand total for the

for 1904 will compare favorably with
