The Death Rate in Victoria.

Mr Haytor has recently published Bomo more statistics which ought to put Victorians in a flutter; thong truth to suy, they have not had an such effect, The reason probably is that they arc encased in those tabular columns which so few people care to #Jy. Yet they nro very startling, nearly as possible the pO|i"lution of Victoria nnd New South Wales is equal. But in 1889 (that is, Inst year) there were no fewer than 19,372 deaths in this colorv as compared with 14,829 in New South Wales, and .the comparison comes out worso with some of the other colonic*. Tako Now Zealand for instance, Your colony has & population of rather more than half that of Victoria. Yet the fflpes read:—Victoria, 19,372; New Zealand, 6772, Again, during 1889, Victoria increased her population by 27,208; New South Wales by 36460; New Zealand by 12,899, The increase in the number of deaths compares as follows:—Victoria, 3080; New South Wales, 421; New Zealand, 64. Thus Victoria increased her population by a little morethan double what New Zealand did, whilst her list of deaths increased in the year by nearly 50 times as many; and though her increase of population was less by a fourth than that of New South Wales, her death rale was men times as heavy, The death fate per 1000 of the three colonies was &i follows:—Victoria, 17.54; New South Wales, 13.43; Now Zeaand, 9,40.
