TO THE HONOURABLE HORACE TOZER, ESQUIRE, COLONIAL SECRETARY.

Registrar-General's Office,

Brisbane, 5th September, 1892.

SIR,

I had the honour on the 27th October, 1891, to lay before you my Preliminary Report on the Census of 1891, which contained certain Tables showing under particular heads the gross results of the population enumerated on the 5th April of that year, and that report having been laid before Parliament, was extensively circulated both in Australia and elsewhere.

The Census was taken on the 5th of April in order to fall in with the arrangements made by the Imperial authorities to have a Census of the whole of the British dominions taken on that date ; but the time of year chosen is not, in my opinion, the most suitable for Census taking in Queensland. In most years the weather at that period is unsettled, and the country difficult to travel over, which renders it almost impossible for those employed to perform Census work in a proper manner. I will again allude to this subject further on in this Report.

The compilation of the Census returns having been now completed, I am in a position to place before you checked returns in connection with the same, under certain divisions or heads, of which the following is a schedule. Tables connected with each head of information will be found in the Appendix :—

GENERAL REPORT.

In submitting this my General Report on the above returns I will first state the

ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR TAKING THE CENSUS.

These were, in the main, similar to those made for taking the previous Census in 1886, but the experience gained at that enumeration led me to use additional precautions so as to render the Census as accurate and successful as possible. In the first place, it was considered that the Householder Schedule was not suitable to the requirements of this Colony, as it was an old and almost obsolete form, based almost entirely on the schedule used in the British dominions from almost the commencement of the present century, consequently I put myself in communication with the then Colonial Secretary, and suggested that the Census Act of 1875 should be so far repealed that the schedule to that Act should be abolished and provision made so that the Householders' Schedule should, if necessary, be arranged for at each Census taking, and then be approved by an order of the Governor in Council. The object in view was to afford facilities for having the schedule altered from time to time so as to embrace any additional matters which, from experience, might be found to be desirable or necessary in addition to the subjects of inquiry hitherto in use.

These recommendations were approved of, and an Act was passed by the Parliament of 1890 providing that the schedule should be alterable at the will of the Governor in Council.

Shortly after this object had been attained at the instance, I believe, of Mr. Hayter, Government Statistician of Victoria, it was suggested that a conference of Australian statisticians should be held to discuss the arrangements to be made in connection with the Census to be taken in 1891. I was invited to be present at that conference, but the Government of the day did not consider it necessary that I should attend. I thus lost the benefit of listening to and joining in the discussions which took place on the important subjects brought forward. The conference met at Hobart in the month of March, 1890, at which representatives of many of the principal Colonies in Australia were present, and agreed upon a certain line of action with respect to the Census about to be taken. I am indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Johnston, Government Statistician of Tasmania, for copies of the proceedings of the conference and of the forms, &c., then adopted for use. Amongst the latter was a new form of Householders' Schedule much more comprehensive as to the subjects of inquiry than the one formerly used. Having a desire to conform to the views of the conference, and in order that the Census statistics of this Colony should be compiled on a basis similar to that of the majority of the other Australian Colonies, I recommended to the Colonial Secretary a form of Householders' Schedule as nearly identical with the one approved by the conference as the circumstances of this Colony would permit, of which he was pleased to approve, so that the amended schedule was used during the last Census. There is no doubt the form referred to is a great advance on the form hitherto used, and by its adoption in other Colonies a uniform basis for the collection of information connected with the enumeration of the people will obtain throughout Australia. This will be an advantage to statisticians and others interested, as they will be in a position to make more definite comparisons relative to the statistics published than would be otherwise possible.

The form of Householders' Schedule having been settled, it was printed and each schedule machine numbered in regular arithmetical series. Previous to their being distributed to the enumerators, they were carefully examined in the Census Office to see that no duplicate numbers or omissions to number had occurred. They were then issued to the enumerators, and a schedule of the numbers sent to each was forwarded with his letter of advice. When they reached the enumerators they issued a certain quantity to each collector, and at the same time entered in a form in front of the collector's diary a return of the exact numbers on the schedule so issued to them.

The collector had then to account to his enumerator for every schedule by number when he finally delivered up his returns, and had to satisfactorily account for, or explain the reason, if any of the numbers were missing, otherwise he was fined. By these means it was sought to prevent collectors from carelessly or by accident omitting to collect any of the schedules they had distributed.

Of course before the issue of any documents connected with the Census, the Census districts were arranged in the Registrar-General's Office and the boundaries marked. These were afterwards carefully mapped out, and were then submitted to the Colonial Secretary and approved of by him. It was not thought necessary on this occasion to send maps to the enumerators to fix the boundaries of the subdivisions of Census districts, as that had been done in 1886, and it was thought desirable to arrange the sub-districts on this occasion so as to embrace as nearly as possible the same localities and areas as at the previous Census of 1886. The object in view in making this arrangement was to enable comparisons to be made as to increase or decrease in population, &c., in any particular locality. If, however, for any particular reason it was found necessary to alter the boundaries of a Census district from those fixed at the previous Census, subdivisions were arranged so as to embrace the whole or parts of the area included in the altered boundaries, and were collected separately.

In this manner provision was made so that comparisons could be instituted respecting any given area between the results of this Census and that of the previous one. When the work was completed, the instructions to enumerators and collectors were carefully revised and approved of by the Colonial Secretary. The form of diaries or collectors' books intended for use by the collectors were also carefully revised, and altered where thought necessary. Of these books two kinds were used—one for the distribution and the other for the collection of the Householders' Schedules, and some were made suitable for use in cities and towns, and others for the more sparsely settled districts in the country. In these books provision was made to enable the collectors when distributing the schedules to enter the date of delivery, the name of the person to whom the form was delivered, the situation of the residence, and the hour of delivery. In country districts, the distance between the place where the collector then delivered a schedule and the place where the previous schedule had been delivered had to be recorded in the diary. There was also a column for remarks, in which the collector could enter any noticeable circumstances connected with his tour of distribution. The collection diary was on a similar plan, and the collector had orders to collect his schedules in the reverse order of schedule numbers to that in which he had distributed them, so that one diary was a check upon the other. When they were examined, first by the enumerator and secondly in the Census Office, by referring to the collection route traced on the maps accompanying the diaries, the particulars as to locality, &c., relative to every schedule could be easily ascertained without exception. The work done by the collector, who was paid so much for each day's distribution or collection, could also be ascertained to a great extent, and if his duties had not been satisfactorily performed or his time appear to have been wasted his payment was rated accordingly. With the diaries each collector was furnished with two maps of his district to enable him to ascertain the exact boundaries within which he was to work, to prevent his omitting any part of the locality in which his services were required, and also to prevent his going into the subdivision allotted to any other collector. On these maps the collector was bound to trace his daily route, on one the track he followed during the distribution of the schedules, and on the other that followed by him during his tour of collection. The very best maps, and these on the largest scale obtainable, of each district were issued for this purpose, and were carefully examined after they were returned, both by the enumerator and the officers in the Census Department. The system here described was found to work admirably, and seemed to be the most efficient check that could be devised to ensure that each collector did his duty properly, did not omit to traverse any part of the district allotted to him, and did not overlook or fail to collect any schedules which he had distributed. The diaries and maps were afterwards of the greatest possible use in the Census Office, during the compilation, for many purposes.

To show one instance of the usefulness of the check so devised, persons who took an interest in the enumeration of the population on a good many occasions came to me and stated that they had been informed that So-and-so's schedule had not been collected. When this occurred reference was at once made to the distribution diary kept by the collector of the sub-district in which the omission was supposed to have occurred, and the number of the schedule delivered to the person referred to found out. Once the number of the schedule was ascertained it was easily traced in his collection diary or looked up amongst the schedules, which were arranged in numerical order. In every instance reported the officer in charge was in ten minutes able to produce to the person interested the very schedule which it was said had not been collected.

Previous to the Census steps were also taken to acquaint persons belonging to nations who are not conversant with the English language or customs, such as Chinese and others, with the fact that a Census of the population was about to be taken, explaining to such person the object of the undertaking, as also the duties incumbent upon them and their liabilities in connection therewith. This was done by posters printed in their own language, which were freely distributed and posted up in localities where they were supposed to reside. Collectors were also supplied with copies of same for production when necessary, and in districts where Chinese or other aliens were very numerous interpreters accompanied the collector to assist him in his duties. I had no complaints from collectors as to their inability to obtain information from persons of this kind, and I have reason to think that they readily afforded all the information in their power when required to do so.

Of course many other minor arrangements were made to effect the accurate enumeration of the population which it would be tedious and unnecessary to minutely particularize ; it may be sufficient to say, however, that every step that previous experience or foresight suggested was taken to render the Census taking of 1891 as complete as possible.

DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED IN TAKING THE CENSUS.

Unfortunately, just at the time the Census work commenced in this Colony, a most formidable strike occurred in the Western districts amongst the labour population, which at one time threatened to assume the character of a revolution, and which caused the Government considerable anxiety. The men engaged in the struggle massed themselves in large camps, and sent out traveling bands to endeavour to terrorise the more peaceably inclined workmen, and to prevent them from working for their employers. Of course the men so engaged were at war with the Government, and felt little inclined to assist in such a work as Census taking. It was also their object to prevent any information respecting themselves reaching the Government. Under such circumstances it can be readily imagined how difficult, if not impossible, it was for collectors to obtain a return sufficient for Census purposes from men in such a state of exasperation. No doubt the collectors did their best under such adverse circumstances ; but the result was not a success. I had occasion to make the following remarks on this subjects in my Preliminary Report on the Census :—

" With respect to the late Census enumeration, I may be permitted to express an opinion that the results are not correct. The labour troubles which were in full progress at the time of the Census collection, and the extremely wet weather that prevailed, particularly in the Northern and Western districts, which rendered it impossible for the collectors to travel, must have made a serious difference in the results of the Census.

" The difficulty in travelling was so great in some districts that the distribution of the schedules in these places amounted to little or nothing, as shown by the collectors' diaries. In support of this opinion I may state that one enumerator told me that, in consequence of the labour troubles and the difficulties his collectors had in getting information from men in large camps, he felt sure that there were fully 300 or 400 in his district who were not collected. If this be the opinion of one enumerator, in how many other districts may not the same kind of thing have occurred ; so that the aggregate loss to the enumeration would be considerable, and tend to a certain extent to explain the discrepancy between the estimated and Census population of April, 1891."

At the time the above was written I had not had the opportunity to carefully examine the collectors' diaries, which has since been done, and the result has confirmed my opinion that great loss to the enumeration occurred from the causes referred to in the Western and Northern districts.

In addition to the above, as previously pointed out, the season of the year at which the last Census was taken was not the most suitable for that purpose. Extremely wet weather was experienced by the collectors, which militated greatly against the success of the undertaking, and in the Western district the distribution was almost a failure.

Mr. Walter A. Gale, Superintendent of Census of Western Australia, in his Report on the Census of 1891 in that Colony, makes the following remarks on the subject :—

"The day fixed by long usage in the United Kingdom and observed by the British Colonies for taking of the Census is the Sunday nearest the first of April. This period of the year is admirably suited to the inhabitants of the British Isles, since it is not only a season at which residents are most likely to be at their own homes, and labour in connection with the enumeration is easily obtainable, but it is also a season at which the climatic circumstances are most favourable for the traveling necessary in connection with taking of a Census. At the Antipodes, however, the position is naturally reversed. The advantages of a simultaneous Census of the Empire must be considered paramount, but the disadvantages of the time fixed for Census day are, from an Australian point of view, very great."

The circumstances in Western Australia are somewhat similar to Queensland, and unless there are favourable conditions of season and weather, the inconveniences, and even risks to life, to which collectors are exposed in the performance of their duties are very great. Curiously enough Mr. Gale's officers had to contend against the effects of a drought and scarcity of feed for the horses used by the collectors, while the difficulties in Queensland arose from excessive wet weather and the boggy nature of the country at that time. This was particularly felt in the greater part of the Western and Northern country, which rendered it almost impossible for the collectors to travel, and they were, as before stated, quite unable to distribute the schedules before the day appointed for the Census.

APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS.

The enumerators appointed to supervise the enumeration of 1891 were in the majority of cases officers who had previously acted in a similar capacity at previous Census takings. As far as I am able to judge they performed their duties with the greatest care and attention, and were evidently imbued with a sense of the great importance of the undertaking with which they were thus connected.

Judging from an examination of the diaries, maps, and returns sent in by them, received from their collectors, they had evidently taken considerable pains in the selection of suitable men for that office, and I am gratified to be able to state that I did not receive a single complaint of neglect of duty or incivility to the public on the part of any of the collectors appointed, nor had I in the great majority of instances to complain of the way in which their returns were rendered. At the time when the first arrangements were being made for the Census taking it was contemplated by the Government to make use of the police extensively as collectors, but the unfortunate labour troubles which subsequently arose prevented this intention from being carried into effect to any extent. In districts where they could be spared, police officers and members of the Police Force did assist in the collection, and performed their duties, as far as I could judge, in a most satisfactory manner.

The officers who were employed in the Census Office were a superintendent, an accountant, a draftsman, and about forty compilers. The work was started on the 1st of June, 1891, and was carried on so expeditiously under the superintendence of Mr. R. B. Howard that I was in a position to lay my Preliminary Report before the Honourable the Colonial Secretary on the 27th of October following, the whole of the returns having beencompletely extracted, examined, andcheckedby that time, so as to enable me to give gross returns with ascertained and correct figures.

The compilation of the Tables which form Part I. of the Appendix to this Report was then proceeded with, and had been so far completed that I was able to make my first reduction in the staff, consisting of nineteen persons, on the 16th of September, 1891 ; a further reduction, consisting of twelve persons, took place on the 25th of November, 1891. The first set of Tables were completed and sent to the printer on the 1st February, 1892, and the whole of the compilation completed on the 31st May, 1892.

I had every reason to be satisfied with the staff placed at my disposal, who worked well and uniformly during the whole period. I need scarcely say that what is now known as the card system was the arrangement adopted in compiling the returns. Having so far dealt with preliminary matters and arrangements connected with the Census, I will now proceed to consider the results connected with the

GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE POPULATION.

The total population of the Colony,exclusive of aborigines, enumerated on 5th April, 1891, was 393,718 persons—223,779 males and 169,939 females, being a number in excess of those enumerated on the 1st of May, 1886, when the last Census was taken, of

70,865 persons,

including 33,435 males and 37,430 females. The period during which the increase mentioned took place having been exactly four years, eleven months, and four days. The centesimal increase in the population during the periods mentioned was 21.95. Although the above-mentioned numerical increase may be considered satisfactory, it did not nearly equal the increase which took place between the Census enumerations of the years 1881 and 1886, which amounted to 109,328 persons. Taking, however, the increase during the decennial period between the Census of 3rd April, 1881, to the 5th April, 1891, the increase to the population of Queensland was 180,193 persons, consisting of 98,454 males and 81,739 females, an increase of 84.38 per cent. persons, consisting of 78.56 per cent. of males, and 92.67 per cent. of females. I would here draw attention to Table No. VI. in the Appendix, which shows the increase in the population of the Colony by persons and sexes at each Census since 1861, and also the increase in the number of persons enumerated between each Census period mentioned in that Table. In Table VII. Will be found the centesimal increase in the population between each Census taking. So far as the figures at my disposal will permit, I subjoin a comparative statement of the centesimal increase of the population in this and the other Colonies of Australasia between the Census of 1881 and that of 1891 :—

Colony.Percentage increase in Population for ten years, being from Census of 1881 to the Census of 1891.
Queensland84.38
Western Australia67.75
New South Wales50.93
Victoria31.88
New Zealand Exclusive of Maoris27.94
New Zealand Inclusive of Maoris25.15
Tasmania26.73
South Australia17.70

This shows that the percentage increase in the population of Queensland between the Census periods referred to was much greater than that of any of the Colonies of Australasia.

Annexed to the Appendix is also published a diagram which illustrates the progressive increase in the population of this Colony in a manner which will be more easily understood than by a mere reference to figures.

Although the results of the Census of 1891 may be considered satisfactory, it is a matter of considerable moment that the result should have fallen so very far short of the estimate of population made since the Census of 1886 was taken.

I am aware that every effort has been made by the Customs authorities to render the returns of arrivals and departures by sea as accurate as possible, and the railway authorities at the crossing-place of the Great Southern Railway at Wallangarra have also assisted me to the utmost of their power with the same object ; but notwithstanding their well-intentioned efforts the fact remains that the Census population of 1891 is no less than 31,883 persons short of the estimated population to 31st March, 1891, five days before the Census was taken. The exact figures are as under :—

Total Estimated Population on 31st March, 1891, five days before the Census was taken245,317180,284425,601

The difference shown between the Census and estimated population appears almost unaccountable ; but, whatever the cause may be which lead to this result, it would appear that the estimates of population made in the manner which obtains in the Colonies of Australasia are not so reliable as could be wished. It appears that in Victoria, even Mr. Hayter, whose well-known carefully prepared figures are looked upon as being as accurate as it is possible for a statistician to prepare them, has had the same difficulties to contend with, as his estimate of the population made between 1881 and 1891, after all due allowances made for errors in recorded departures by sea, &c., exceeded the Census population of Victoria for 1891 by no less than 66,987 persons.

Taking into consideration the immense length of divisional borders between this Colony, New South Wales, and South Australia, and also between Victoria and the same Colonies, it might be said that the error in estimate was caused by the

want of means for checking the transit of the people over these borders from one Colony to the other, of which no accurate account can be possibly taken. Were this the case, it is only reasonable to anticipate that the difference between the estimated and Census population would be found to the advantage of the population of New South Wales or South Australia ; but it is evident that this is not the case, because the Census returns of all these Colonies together, including Western Australia, do not come up to the estimated population made in the whole of the Colonies at the end of 1891 by, I believe, at least 112,000 persons.

If this be the case it would appear that the emigration from the whole of Australia exceeded the immigration by the difference between the estimated population and the population said to be ascertained by the Census. This I do not think any statistician in Australia believes, and it is therefore necessary to look elsewhere for the apparent difference in the estimated and ascertained populations. Having this proposition in view, it seems extraordinary that with the great care and attention paid by the statisticians of Australasia to framing their estimates of population from year to year, such a large discrepancy should appear between the Census population and the estimated population.

After having given most careful and anxious consideration to this subject, it appears to me that no other conclusion can be arrived at than that the fault, to a great extent at least, lies in the Census enumerations, and that they are not accurate, at least to an extent approximating to the figures above given. When the habits of a very large proportion of the male population of the Australian Colonies are taken into consideration, I think the probability of the truth of my contention must be admitted. In support of this theory I would point in the first place to the immense extent of territory in New South Wales, South Australia, and Queensland over which there is a very large nomadic population, some always moving from place to place, such as bush labourers, shearers ; others are endeavouring to hide themselves from their fellow-men, such as prospecting diggers, timber-getters, &c., the latter of whom for the most part occupying hidden and isolated positions, in which it would be almost impossible for an ordinary Census collector to find them out.

In the second place, it must be allowed by any person conversant with this subject, and who gives the matter reasonable consideration, that the difficulties collectors have to contend with to schedule wanderers on the innumerable devious roads and bush tracks in the Colonies is almost insurmountable, and consequently that thousands of such persons are overlooked at each Census enumeration. The facts to which I have called attention, coupled with the circumstance that in all the Colonies except Western Australia the population has been over estimated, for which over estimate no satisfactory reason to my mind has as yet been given, except it be by excess of emigration from, over immigration to, Australia as a whole, had led me to conclude that the estimates of the several statisticians are much nearer the actual truth than the returns of a Census.

Having the difficulties I have referred to in view, and with large experience gained from the management of many Census takings in this Colony, I made provision to subdivide Census districts into small areas, so as to overcome the adverse circumstances against which collectors had to contend, as far as it was possible to do so ; but still the result was not equal to my expectations, the various causes to which I have previously alluded having to a great extent defeated the object in view.

In addition to the difficulties above alluded to there were special elements adverse to a correct Census being taken in 1891—namely, the labour troubles previously mentioned, and the existence of very bad weather over a large portion of the Colony. Had not these adverse circumstances occurred at the time of the enumeration I feel convinced that the Census population would have approached much nearer to the estimated population than has been the case.

Of course the arguments I have made use of and the difficulties I have pointed out would affect the collection of what is termed the rural population more than the urban population, and I think that it is amongst the former the greater part of the loss, whatever it may have been, occurred. This has been proved to a certain extent by a circumstance which has occurred connected with the returns from certain districts relative to the proportion of adult males collected in each electorate compared with the number of names on the electoral rolls. I will further allude to this matter in a future part of this Report.

I have been taken to task by Mr. Hayter, by Mr. Coghlan of New South Wales, and later by Mr. Gale of Western Australia for including in my estimates of population a percentage for non-collection at each Census.

Having thus explained my views on this subject, and for the reasons I have given, I consider that to show what I believe is the true population of this Colony I am quite justified in making a fair allowance for non-collection. I would further point out that my predecessors in office held similar views on this subject, and made allowances for non-collection at Census enumerations.

AREA OF THE COLONY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE PEOPLE.

The Colony at the present time is divided for certain purposes into three great divisions—the Northern, the Central, and the Southern. The total area of the Colony is computed to be 668,497 square miles, and of this the Northern division embraces an area of 250,237 square miles, the Central division, 208,980 square miles, and the Southern division, 209,278 square miles. On the night the Census was taken the following population was enumerated in each of the divisions referred to :—

When the Census of 1886 was taken the population of each of these divisions was ascertained to be as under :—

so that the respective increase in the several divisions since the Census of 1886, a period of nearly five years, was as follows :—

but if the result of the Census of 1881 be compared with that of 1891, it will be found that the following increase in each division took place in that period of ten years :—

The distribution of the population according to the area of each division at the Census of 1891 was as under :—

And the distribution of the population in these Divisions at the Census of 1886 was :—

In Table XI. in the Appendix is shown the actual number of persons located in each Census district in each division at the Census enumeration of 1881, 1886, and 1891 ; so that the respective population of any of these areas in each of the divisions mentioned, and the increase or decrease in each such locality between the periods mentioned, can be ascertained.

Table XXIII. further shows the area of each Census district in such division and the number of persons to a square mile.

Thus from Tables XI, and XXIII. can be ascertained, by any person interested, the population of each Census district in each division, the area in square miles, and the number of persons to each square mile.

To illustrate the proportionate extent to which settlement has taken place in each Census district of the Colony at the time the present Census was taken, I have caused an outline map of Queensland to be added to the Appendix, with the boundaries of the Census districts marked thereon, and each Census district is so shaded as to show from the depth or otherwise of the shading the comparative ensity of the population in each district.

Taking the whole area of the Colony to be as now computed, it will be found that, exclusive of occupants of shipping, there are 0.59 persons to a square mile, compared with 0.48 persons at the Census of 1886.

As it may be convenient to show in a compendious form how the population was distributed throughout the Colony at the Census of 1891, I append the following statement, partially prepared from the Tables above mentioned, which shows the population of each Census district as contained in each division of the Colony, the area in square miles in each, the number of persons to each square mile, and other information which may be acceptable to the reader :—

This statement also contains a return of the number of inhabited dwellings in each Census district and in each division, exclusive of shipping. Analysing this information it will be found that there were—

In the Northern Division17784 inhabited dwellings
In the Central Division9591 inhabited dwellings
In the Southern Division50807 inhabited dwellings
78182 inhabited dwellings

in the Colony. From this return the following computation of the number of inhabited dwellings to the square mile in each division of the Colony has been made, with the following result, viz. :—

Comparing this result with that shown by the Census of 1886, the following is the percentage increase of inhabited dwellings in each division, namely :—

At the time of the Census the returns show that 19.83 per cent. of the total population resided in the Northern Division, 11.90 per cent. in the Central Division, and 68.27 per cent. in the Southern Division. Comparing this result with the previous Census, it will be seen that the proportion of the population resident in the Northern Division increased 0.46 per cent., while in the Central Division it decreased by 0.14 per cent., and in the Southern Division it also decreased by 0.60 per cent.

To arrive at the distribution of the population, as settled in urban and rural districts, respectively, the population in towns, where the number of persons who lived in such localities numbered over 100, has been considered as urban population, and the remainder of the population has been deemed to be rural. As this was the arrangement made at the last Census in 1886, it will enable a definite comparison to be made as to the tendency of the population to settle since that period in the urban or rural portions of the Colony.

It will be seen from the statement that—

making the total urban population of the Colony 229,624.

With respect to the rural population, it will be seen that persons who resided in such localities were as under :—

making the total rural population 164,094.

The percentage of the population residing in urban and rural localities respectively, was—

Urban.Rural.
In the Northern Division49.7850.22
In the Central Division61.0538.95
In the Southern Division60.3339.67

If the figures and percentages given above be compared with the results of the previous Census enumerations of 1881 and 1886, the following result will be apparent :—

URBAN POPULATION., CENSUS YEAR.
1881.Percentage.1886.Percentage.1891.Percentage.

In Southern Division93,47262.00105,23947.47106,62739.67

From this Table it will be seen that, while the percentage of persons living in the rural districts in the Northern Division is slightly increased compared with the percentage of the urban population, the contrary was the case with respect to the Central and Southern Divisions, where the percentage of the rural population was much less than it was in 1886, and where the percentage of the urban population increased considerably. From this it would appear evident that there is a tendency amongst the population in the Central and Southern Divisions to settle in urban localities in preference to rural.

In connection with this subject, Table XXIX., page 42 in the Appendix, shows the population enumerated in the municipalities and shires of the Colony, which consisted of 168,400 persons, being 42.77 per cent. of the total population of the Colony. Taking the position of the shires into consideration, it may be stated that Coorparoo, Ithaca, Toowong, and Windsor Shires are all situated within the ten-mile radius of Brisbane, and may be therefore fairly considered to contain an urban population, and the same may be said of Drayton and Southport ; but with respect to Middle Ridge and Tiaro, they should be considered more in the character of a rural population ; but the population of the last-named places is not numerous. It may be well here to state the relative populations of the municipalities, comparing the population ascertained in each at the enumerations of 1886 and 1891 respectively. Commencing with Brisbane municipality, the population was enumerated at 25,889, compared with 28,529 enumerated within the same boundaries in 1886, a decrease in the city proper of 2,640 persons ; but this may be accounted for by the fact that, as time progresses, the city is being less used for residence and more for business purposes, the population having their private residences in more suitable localities in the suburbs. A better comparison may be made with respect to the population of the two Census periods mentioned by taking the population enumerated in 1891 and 1886 within a five-mile radius from the centre of the city. The number of persons enumerated within these boundaries in 1891 was 93,657, compared with 78,649 in 1886, being an increase in 1891 of 20,008 persons. In order to compare the population of Brisbane and suburbs with that of some of the principal cities of Australia within a given area, a Table has been prepared (No. XXXI., page 44 in the Appendix) which shows the population within a ten-mile radius from the centre of the city. At the time the Census of 1891 was taken 101,554 persons resided within that area ; but I think the city of Brisbane and suburbs are best comprehended within a five-mile radius, as a considerable number of what may be more properly considered as a rural population are included in the area between the five-mile and the ten-mile radius. Relative to other municipalities, the largest increases, comparing the Census of 1891 with that of 1886, have taken place in Bundaberg, 1,659 persons ; Charters Towers, 1,284 ; Cairns, 1,084 ; Rockhampton (including North Rockhampton), 958 ; Gympie, 790 ; Toowoomba, 737. The only decrease in municipal population worth mentioning since the Census of 1886 is in the municipality of Mackay—viz., 509 persons. By referring to Table XXIX., before alluded to, the population of any

of the municipalities can be ascertained ; but as the area contained within the boundaries of the various municipalities differ to a very great extent, as much as from 1 square mile to 37 square miles, it was thought desirable, so as to equalize the proportion of population in each within a given area, to ascertain the number of persons living within a certain distance from the centre of each municipality ; consequently a Table has been prepared showing population resident within a five-mile radius of the centre of each of the principal municipalities. This, it is considered, will give a better idea of the density of the population in each place ; Omitting Brisbane, the result is as follows :—

Rockhampton and North Rockhampton, within a radius of five miles from its centre 14,392 persons

The abovenamed municipalities have been arranged in the order of the greater number of persons living within the five-mile radius in each, from which it will be seen that Rockhampton heads the list with a population of 14,392 persons. With respect to that municipality, as the radius line includes North Rockhampton as well as Rockhampton, the population within a five-mile radius of each cannot be given. The population in Charters Towers and Ipswich approximates closely ; Maryborough has a population of nearly 12,000. Gympie and Toowoomba are nearly equal, and next is Townsville, some 600 less than the lastnamed municipalities. Bundaberg has a population of over 7,000, and the others mentioned above range from over 3,000 to over 1,000 each.

In order to show the density of the population to the square mile in each municipality within the five-mile radius, a statement showing the result is appended :—

The area contained within a five-mile radius is equal to 78.54 square miles.

Those interested in the subject will find a map of each municipality mentioned attached to the Appendix, on each of which is delineated the exact position of the five-mile radius line.

The number ofmalesandfemalesembraced in the population within the five-mile radius, from the centre of each of the municipalities above referred to, is shown in Table XXXII., page 44 of the Appendix.

The gross population of the smaller towns and township reserves can be ascertained from Table XXXIII., page 45 of the Appendix, as also the number of males and females resident therein at the time of the Census. The Table referred to is a comparative one, and shows the number of persons, males and females, in these townships, &c., at the time the Census of 1881, 1886, and 1891 was taken. The increase of population in these localities during the period from the Census of 1886 to 1891 was 7,899 persons, consisting of 4,435 males and 3,464 females, and the increase for the ten years, 1881 to 1891, was 20,930 persons, comprising 12,439 males and 8,491 females.

In Table No. XXXIV. is given, in alphabetical order, the names of the towns and township reserves which contain a population of over 50, and the population which is mentioned therein is the same as that grouped in Table XXXIII. above alluded to. That Table also shows the Census district in which each such township, &c., is situated, and its population, both males and females. The population in each township named in that Table is the same that has been comprised in Table No. XXXIII., which Table shows a comparison of the population enumerated in such townships at Census 1881, 1886, and 1891.

Table XXXV. shows the Census districts arranged in alphabetical order, and the towns or township reserves included in each district, with the population in each, both males and females.

DOMICILIATION OF THE PEOPLE.

The number of inhabited and uninhabited dwellings of all descriptions returned at the Census of 1891 was 78,429 inhabited, and 2,224 uninhabited. Compared with the returns of the previous Census, the above figures show an increase in inhabited dwellings of 14,736, and a decrease in uninhabited dwellings of 39. Particulars respecting each class of dwelling returned will be found at Table XXIV., page 37 in the Appendix. In Table XXV. is given the proportion of inhabited dwellings to the square mile in each Census district included in the three great divisions of the Colony, and in Table XXVI. is shown the average number of persons to an inhabited dwelling (exclusive of shipping) in each Census district in each of the divisions.

Referring, first, to the information contained in Table No. XXIV., it will be found that the number and description of the dwellings of the population at the time of the Census was returned as under :—

Houses.Other Dwellings.
Of Stone439Tents6,938
Of Brick2,273Ships247
Of Wood62,433Drays289
Of Metal3,337Others2,473

In addition to the above, there were 2,224 houses returned as being uninhabited, but the material of which they were constructed was not described. Comparing the above return with a similar one at the Census of 1886 shows that the following increase or decrease in the number of the different kinds of dwellings had occurred since that period :—

Stone houses, a decrease of 26 ; tents, a decrease of 51 ; brick houses, an increase of 322 ; ships, a decrease of 37 ; wooden houses, an increase of 11,913 ; drays used as temporary dwelling-places, a decrease of 104 ; metal houses, an increase of 1,551 ; other dwellings, an increase of 1,170.

The number of uninhabited houses also decreased 39 since the Census of 1886.

The kind of house most in favour in Queensland is that build of wood, preferred probably because they are quickly built and are more economical than the more permanent structures built of brick and stone. They are also very suitable to the climate and healthy to live in, and are durable, if properly protected from white ants, because the timbers used in the Colony for building purposes last for a long time. There is another reason why in this Colony wooden houses are preferred to brick or stone—namely, because in a climate like this in summer time both the last mentioned kind of houses absorb the heat from the sun during the day-time and continue warm almost through the night, making the interior uncomfortable to the

inhabitants, while the wooden house, if warmed at all, soon cools after the sun goes down. Of course brick and stone structures are most suitable for warehouse and other business purposes, and the number will no doubt increase as the cities and towns of the Colony become more centres of business. Buildings of metal, mostly of galvanized iron, show an increase of 1,551 since 1886, but if the column in Table XXIV., in which the number of such houses in each Census district is given, be referred to, it will be found that buildings of this kind have been principally erected in districts in which wood is scarce, and the carriage of iron costs less than the timber required to build the house. The number of drays returned as having been used as temporary dwellings were not so numerous at the time of the Census of 1891 as in 1886, the decrease, as shown above, being 104. Of the uninhabited houses mentioned in this Table, the largest number returned in any one district—viz., 483, appear in the Brisbane Census district. The other Census districts in which the greatest number of uninhabited houses are situated are Enoggera 210, Caboolture 142, Moreton East 124, Moreton West 122, Oxley 111, and Bundaberg 105 ; in all the other districts the number of uninhabited houses is under 100.

Table XXVII. contains a return of the number and description of vessels of all descriptions in the Queensland waters on the day the Census was taken. It also shows the locality in which the vessel was at the time, and the number of persons who were on board these vessels. From that Table it will be seen that at the time above referred to there were 97 sea-going vessels in the waters of the Colony, consisting of 48 steamers, 17 sailing ships, and 32 schooners, &c. There were in addition 127 river-going vessels, including 33 steamers, 28 punts, and 66 cutters, &c. Of course the vessels last enumerated include all those which were the property of the Government for harbour service, dredging, &c. The total number of persons on board these vessels, including officers and crews, was 2,255, consisting of 2,125 males and 130 females. Of these, 438 persons—viz., 321 males and 117 females, were passengers ; and 1,817 persons—namely, 1,804 males and 13 females, were employed as officers and crews. Comparing this with similar results obtained at the Census of 1886, a falling off is apparent, both in the number of vessels and the persons on board. At that time there were 107 sea-going vessels and 177 river vessels, with 3,560 persons on board.

In Table XXV. is shown the proportion of inhabited dwellings to each square mile in the whole Colony and in each division thereof. As previously stated the proportion in the whole Colony is 0.12 ; in the Northern Division the proportion is 0.07 ; in the Central Division, 0.05 ; and in the Southern Division, 0.24. The proportions at the time of the Census in 1886 were :—The whole Colony, 0.09 ; Northern Division, 0.05 ; Central Division, 0.04 ; and Southern Division, 0.20. From this it will be seen that the proportion has fairly increased since the Census of 1886 in the whole Colony, as also in each of the divisions. In Table No. XXVI. is shown the average number of persons to each inhabited dwelling at the Census of 1891 (exclusive of shipping) in the whole Colony, in each division of the Colony, and in each Census district situated within the boundaries of the different divisions. This Table shows that the average number of persons to each inhabited dwelling in the whole Colony was 5.04 ; that in the Northern Division the proportion was 4.39 ; in the Central Division it was 4.89 ; and in the Southern Division it was 5.29. The returns of the Census of 1886 showed that in the whole Colony the proportion of persons to an inhabited dwelling was 5.04 ; that in the Northern Division it was 4.74 ; in the Central Division, 4.51 ; and in the Southern Division, 5.32. From this it will be observed that at both Census periods the proportion in the whole Colony was exactly the same ; that in the Northern Division it decreased from 4.74 to 4.39 ; that in the Central Division it increased from 4.51 to 4.89 ; and that in the Southern Division it decreased from 5.32 to 5.29.

DIVISIONAL BOARDS.

Local government, in addition to that included under the Local Government Acts, has been in force in this Colony for many years. It was first brought into existence generally throughout all parts of Queensland under "TheDivisional Boards Act of1879," but so many changes have been made in the boundaries of the divisions since the last Census in 1886 was taken it has been found impossible to institute any comparisons as to the population in each Divisional

Board district, or the increase or decrease in each since the Census of 1886 was taken. The population at the time of the Census of 1891 in each Divisional Board district will be found in Table XIX. in the Appendix. The total number of persons residing within the boundaries of Divisional Boards districts at the time of the Census was 221,875 persons, consisting of 134,884 males and 86,991 females. At the time the previous Census was taken in 1886 the total number of persons living within the boundaries of the districts referred to was 203,808, comprised of 126,115 males and 77,693 females ; consequently the increase in the population in the total of such localities between the Census of 1886 and 1891 was 18,067, consisting of 8,769 males and 9,298 females. It is a strange circumstance, as shown by these figures, that the increase of the females exceeded that of the males in these districts. At the time the Census of 1891 was taken there were 115 Divisional Boards districts in the Colony, compared with 93 in existence at the time of the Census of 1886. At that time the board district of Woolloongabba had the largest population—namely, over 13,000 inhabitants ; but since then the division has been merged into the municipality of South Brisbane. At the time of the Census in 1891, the most populous division was Dalrymple, in the neighbourhood of Charters Towers, which contained 11,761 inhabitants ; the next in point of population was Pioneer Division, in the neighbourhood of Mackay, with 6,941 persons ; the next Booroodabin, outside Brisbane, on the north-east, with 6,853 persons ; the next Gogango, outside Rockhampton, with 5,995 persons ; the next Tarampa, with 5,091 persons ; the next Goolman, in the Logan District, with 4,862 persons ; and the next Gooburrum, outside Bundaberg, with 4,160.

The following are the Divisional Boards districts which had a population of over 3,000 :—Caboolture, Clifton, Glengallan, Jondaryan, Kargoolnah, Murweh, Purga, Stephens, and Toombul. Those which have a population of over 2,000, are —Aramac, Balmoral, Belyando, Brassall, Bundanba, Burrum, Calliope, Croydon, Esk, Glastonbury, Hamilton, Highfields, Hinchinbrook, Maroochy, Nundah, Paroo, Ravenswood, Rosalic, Sherwood, Stanthorpe, Taringa, Thuringowa, Tiaro, Ula Ula, Walloon, and Woongarra. All the other divisions contain less than 2,000 persons, the smallest division in respect to population being Torres, at Somerset, in which only 22 persons were returned, and Burke with 284 persons.

The percentage of males contained in the whole population of the Divisional Boards districts was 60.79, and of the females 39.21.

ELECTORAL REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE.

As it was of the greatest importance that a correct and reliable enumeration of the population in the various electorates in the Colony should be obtained at the Census, great pains were taken when the preliminary arrangements were made in the Census Office to give the best information possible to enumerators and collectors as to the boundaries of every electorate in the Colony. Maps showing such boundaries were issued, marked in the clearest manner possible, and in cases, which frequently occurred, where a collector's subdivision embraced two, and even three, parts, situated in different electorates, the boundaries were clearly and distinctly marked and tinted in various colours to show the several parts of electorates situated in his Census subdivision. He also received instructions to be careful to keep separate the schedules collected in each subdivision of his district, as marked on the map furnished to him, and to carefully endorse on the back of each schedule the name of the electorate in which it was collected. The instructions so given were faithfully observed ; and, in consequence, the compilers had no difficulty whatever in compiling the population by electorates ; the Tables published on the subject are therefore quite accurate so far as the Census enumeration is concerned.

The electorates in 1891 number 60, compared with 44 when the Census of 1886 was taken. In 1887 a new Act was passed, intituled "The Electoral Districts Act of 1887," which increased the representation of the people, and each electorate was constituted on the basis of the population ascertained in each Census district, and subdivision of Census districts, at the time the Census was taken, and also on the proportion of adult males, exclusive of persons of alien races, &c., living in each district or sub-district at that time. A schedule of the population apportioned in each electorate was laid before Parliament, and, after some amendments, was finally approved of in Committee of the House on the 25th October, 1887. That schedule has been now taken as the basis for a comparison between the population in electorates, as so constituted in 1887, and as ascertained by the Census of 1891.

The electoral districts having been thus entirely changed in 1887, no good purpose would result from endeavouring, if it were possible to do so, to compare the population in electorates as constituted when the Census of 1886 was taken with those in existence in 1891. It has been thought advisable, therefore, in the first place, to give the results obtained in each electorate as constituted in 1891, so far as the gross population and the adult male population is concerned, exclusive of Chinese, Polynesians, and persons of other alien races, prisoners, lunatics, and inmates of charitable institutions, and to show the proportion of representative power possessed by each representative to each 100 of the adult male population in each electorate, exclusive of Chinese, &c. The result will be found in the following statement :—

I may say that in my remarks relating to electorates, where in future I make use of the term adult males, it is to be understood, unless the contrary is stated, that I mean adult malesexclusive of Chinese, Polynesians, persons of other alien races, prisoners, lunatics, and inmates of charitable institutions.

Reverting to the above statement, it will be perceived that at the time of the Census there were 107,675 adult males resident in the several electorates in the Colony who could claim the political franchise, subject to the possession of the necessary qualifications, compared with 92,075 adult males in the same position at the time of the Census in 1886, being an increase of 15,660 adult males since the electorates were constituted in 1887.

Further information under this head will be found in Table XVI., page 15 in the Appendix, which sets forth a different view of the subject, as that Table gives the total population in each electorate at the time of the Census in 1891, both males and females. It further shows the number of minor and adult males which composed such male population, and the number of males, minor and adult, who were Chinese, Polynesians, persons of other alien races, and those who were prisoners, lunatics, and inmates of charitable institutions included in such total male population, and, lastly, it shows the total adult males entitled to the franchise. If the Table referred to be analysed it will be found that in the male population who were resident in the electorates that, exclusive of the 107,675 adult males entitled to vote, if possessed of necessary qualifications, there were 8,423 adult male Chinese, 6,461 adult male Polynesians, 1,481 adult male persons of other alien races, 2,244 adult males who were prisoners, lunatics, and inmates of charitable institutions, making the total adult males disqualified as above 18,609. There were also in the male population 96,969 males who were minors, and therefore not entitled to the franchise, of whom 104 were Chinese minors, 2,126 Polynesian minors, 267 minors of other alien races, and 650 minors amongst the prisoners, lunatics, and inmates of charitable institutions. In addition to the above, the Table referred to further shows that on the night the Census was taken there were 526 males, of whom 71 were minors and 455 were adults, employed on board the shipping who were not included in any electorate. The above abstract would not be complete without stating that there were 25 officers and 804 men of all ranks and positions in the Police Force returned as such who, less 19, that were minors, would be included in the 107,675 adult males, although from their occupation they would be excluded from the franchise.

The number of members of the present Legislative Assembly of this Colony being seventy-two, it will be seen from Statement C that, supposing each electorate to have an equal number of persons entitled to the franchise, each member would represent 1,495 of adult males who could qualify themselves to vote, or they would each represent 1.39 per cent. of the total adult males, as above described. Referring again to the same statement, it will be observed that in the electorates of Brisbane Charters Towers, Fortitude Valley, and Brisbane South, in the order named, there was proportionately the greatest number of adult males resident who could qualify themselves to vote, and that as the members who represented them represented considerably above 3 per cent. of the total adult males, instead of 1.39 per cent., the equalised proportion above stated, the electorates above named were consequently those in which, on the basis mentioned, the least amount of representative power existed. The electorates of Barcoo, Gympie, Rockhampton, Townsville, Bulimba, Toowong, Maryborough, Drayton and Toowoomba, and Woolloongabba, show the next greatest number of adult males, and a proportionate representative power of above 2 per cent., consequently they have in a smaller degree a less amount of representative power than they were entitled to on the basis above referred to. The electorates who have the smallest number of adult males who could qualify themselves to vote, but whose number represents less than 1 per cent. of the total adult males, and are consequently represented in the highest proportion, are Murilla, Dalby, Normanby, Carnarvon, and Leichhardt.

Having thus dealt with the representation of electorates on the basis of adult males as specified in Statement C, it has been thought desirable to add a return showing the proportion of representative power possessed by each member

to every 10,000 of the adult male population. This further exemplifies the inequalities in the proportion by which the several electorates are represented :—

From the above it will be seen that on the basis above described Wide Bay is the best represented electoral district, and that Dalby, Murilla, and Leichhardt are the next best, in the order named, while Brisbane South, Charters Towers, Brisbane North, and Fortitude Valley, in the order named, are proportionately the least represented. Having possessed the smallest proportion of the representation, and the comparison thus instituted is contained in a statement to which reference will be made in a subsequent part of this Report.

As the above statement describes the proportion of representative power possessed by each member according to the Census returns of 1891, first, calculated at per cent. of the adult male population, exclusive of Chinese, &c., and secondly, the proportion of representative power to every 10,000 of the adult population, it may be useful to see how the representative power under these heads has increased or decreased in each electorate since 1887. It has been previously stated that it is impossible, and would lead to no beneficial results, to compare the electorates as constituted in 1886 with those as constituted in 1891, but a statement has been prepared, and is appended, which shows the population under two heads—adult males, exclusive of Chinese, &c., and the gross population—as assigned by the Legislative Assembly in committee to each new electorate in 1887, on the basis of the returns ascertained by the Census of the previous year, and comparing the population thus arranged with the population ascertained to be in each electorate by the Census of 1891.

This statement shows that at the period mentioned in 1887, and also at the date of the Census in 1891, first, the number of adult males in each electorate, exclusive of persons as described, and, secondly, the proportion of representative power possessed by the members of each electorate on that basis at each of the periods referred to. It also shows the gross population of each electorate, and the proportion of representative power possessed by the members of each electorate on the latter basis at the periods mentioned. In addition, it gives the increase or decrease in 1891 in the proportion of representation on the adult male basis, as fixed by the Legislative Assembly in 1887. If the first-mentioned basis—namely, adult males, be taken, the following electorates show the largest percentage increase in the proportion of representative power they should possess—namely, Bulimba, Port Curtis, Barcoo, Burke, Charters Towers, Fitzroy, Cairns, Burnett, Toombul, and Toowong, in the order named ; and the electorates which, according to the same basis, have lost to the greatest extent the percentage of representation to which they were entitled on the arrangement made in 1887 are Brisbane North, Mackay, Brisbane South, Townsville, and Fortitude Valley. The deductions thus drawn can be proved by examining the first and second columns of the statement and comparing the figures therein given with the result of the Census of 1891 shown in the fifth and sixth columns of that compilation ; and the last column therein shows increase or decrease in the proportion of representative power, as fixed in 1887.

Bearing on this subject a statement is appended, which shows the number of registered electors on the electoral roll of each electoral district on the 31st December, 1891, the number of adult males, exclusive of Chinese, &c., which were in each electorate at the time the Census of 1891 was taken, and also the percentage of registered voters to the adult males living in each district on the basis of the Census returns :—

TOTAL REGISTERED ELECTORS86,92580.73
TOTAL ADULT MALES, AS ABOVE107,675

An examination of this statement will exhibit some curious anomalies. It shows some electorates, to which reference will be made later on, which have far more names on the roll than there were adult males in the district, according to the Census returns of such district. The electorate of Burke shows the greatest discrepancy in this respect, as there were 814 more names on the roll on 31st December, 1891, than there were adult males in the district at the time the Census was taken in April of that year, consequently there were 38.18 per cent. more registered voters on the roll than there should have been had every adult male in the district placed his name on the roll. It appears extraordinary that, from a comparison of the kind above instituted, such a fact should be apparent. No doubt there has been considerably more interest taken lately by political parties of all kinds in the registration of voters' names, and that is proved by the fact that, comparing the number of names on the rolls of the Colony on 31st December, 1891, with the total of adult males at the time of the Census, as shown in Statement F, it will be found that 80.73 per cent. of the total adult males were registered as electors, compared with 54.48 per cent. when a similar comparison was made in 1886, after the Census of that year. When making this comparison it must be considered that

there is nine months' difference between the Census date and the date when the rolls were perfected ; but that nine months is considerably reduced if the time required to enable a person coming into a district to qualify for registration as an elector of that district is taken from it, no matter what kind of qualification the person may possess. The difference, therefore, between the Census date and that for which the rolls were in force is not so great, if allowance be made for the time required to enable the elector to qualify, so as to be entitled to get his name on the roll. If this be so, making all allowance for migration of adult males into the districts mentioned since the Census was taken, the dual names on the lists, the names of non-resident electors, roll-stuffing, &c., and, taking into further consideration that the average of names on the rolls of the great majority of electorates is less than 81 per cent. of the whole adult males in each district, I think the circumstances to which I have pointed attention is an additional proof that there must have been large percentage failure to ascertain the true Census of the population in 1891, at least in the districts so affected. I have instanced Burke as being the electorate in which the greatest discrepancy of this kind has occurred, but as there are other electorates in the same position, particulars relative to the whole of them are presented in a tabular form :—

Dalby546.33 per cent.
Nundah423.03 per cent.

As a converse of the circumstances contained in the above statement, in some electorates the percentage of registered voters to adult males in the district entitled to the political franchise is low. To illustrate this I here name certain electorates in which less than 50 per cent. of the adult males have registered their votes :—Balonne, 28.52 per cent. ; Warrego, 32.80 ; Gregory, 34.43 ; Bulloo, 36.29 ; Clermont, 40.74 ; Carpentaria, 44.58 ; Port Curtis, 47.94 ; Barcoo, 47.99 ; Flinders, 49.23.

To show the number of registered voters on the rolls compared with the adult males in each electorate, situated in the different divisions of the Colony, the following statement is given :—

GRAND TOTAL86,925107,67580.73

From the above it will be seen that in the electorates in the Northern division there are 18,911 electors on the rolls, or 81.08 per cent. of the total number of adults males (exclusive of Chinese, &c.), living in the division at the time of the Census. In the Central division there are 10,197 electors on the rolls, being 61.98 per cent. of the total adult males living in the division, and in the Southern division there were 57,817 electors on the rolls, being 85.15 per cent. of the adult males living in that division.

From this it will be apparent that in the Northern and Southern divisions a much larger percentage of voters have placed their names on the roll than in the Central division—that is, compared with the number of adult males in the division who are entitled to claim the political franchise.

Having now considered this part of the subject at some length, it appears only necessary to call attention to the Tables in the Appendix which give further information relative to electorates. Table XVII. Shows the Census districts or parts of Census districts included in each electorate, and the population of each Census division or subdivision. Table XVIII. Shows the number of Chinese, &c., included in each Census district or part of a Census district embraced in each electorate ; and Table CXXXVII., page 400, in the Appendix, shows the ages of all adult males who resided in the several electorates in 1891, divided so as to exclude Chinese, Polynesians, and others from the rest of the adult males.

SYNOPSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE CENSUS ENUMERATION.

Tables have been prepared showing a synopsis of the results ascertained in each Census district of the Colony in the same manner as at the Census of 1886, which will be found at pages 50 to 173 in the Appendix. A Table has also been framed for the first time which shows similar results for the whole Colony. This Table, which is numbered XXXVI., and will be found at page 50, it is thought will be very suitable for the purpose of reference when total figures under any particular head are alone required. The Tables referred to have all been compiled on the same basis, and contain the following items of information :—In the first place, the geographical situation of each Census district ; then the number of persons, males and females, at various ages who were living in each district at the time of the Census of 1891 ; the number of persons at various ages, males and females, who were married, unmarried, widowed, and whose social condition was unspecified ; the number of persons at various ages, males and females, who were able to read and write, who were able to read only, who could not read, and whose degree of education was unspecified. They further contain a return of the birthplaces of the people, grouped as males and females and persons, and also the religious profession of the inhabitants in each district, arranged in a similar manner, together with the kind of habitations they occupied and the amount of sickness reported amongst them. Then follows a return of the different occupations in which residents, both males and females, in such districts are engaged, classified according to the new system adopted by the Statistical Conference held at Hobart in 1890 ; and, lastly, each Table shows the population in the Census district to which it refers ; the number of Chinese, Polynesians, and persons of other alien races living therein ; the population, exclusive of the above ; the total adult male population, and the adult male population, exclusive of Chinese, Polynesians, and other aliens ; and, further, the centesimal proportion that females bear to males living in the district. In fact, each Table gives an epitomised view of the whole results of the Census in each particular Census district. This, it is hoped, will enable any person interested in any particular locality in the Colony (or in the whole Colony) to ascertain, in a compendious form, any of the particulars above specified without having occasion to search through the more elaborate Tables in the Appendix dealing with the results of the Census under different heads. As these Tables have been prepared in exactly the same form as at the Census of 1886, and as the boundaries of the Census districts have been very little altered, a fair comparison can be made of the results in each Census district between the Census enumerations of 1886 and 1891 under any of the heads of information above mentioned.

As the Table XXXVI., to which I have previously referred, was designed to show the whole of the results of the Census of this Colony in 1891 in a synoptical form, and as it was therefore likely to be of some use to statisticians in other places in making comparisons of Census results in the Colony in 1891 with that of the Census taken in their own country, I obtained the permission of the Government to have a number of extra copies printed, and they were sent to all the principal Government Statisticians in the British Empire and other places in advance of the publication of this Report and its Appendices.

OCCUPATIONS.

When writing my Report on the Census of 1886, I made the following remarks :—" When classifying the returns under the heading of ' Occupation,' the primary object sought to be secured is to give a faithful record of the particular means of existence adopted by every member of the community. It must be obvious that this is a work requiring considerable thought and skill, so as to present in a classified form, and in an intelligible shape, the profession, business, trade, &c., relative to every resident in Queensland, as given in the Census Schedules. Again, to render returns of this kind valuable, they should be prepared on some systematic plan, which would enable results to be compared from time to time of the progress and development of industries in this community, as well as with those of other countries. Unfortunately, even in the British Dominions—i.e., at least, in England, Scotland, and Ireland—the system of classification, although apparently the same, has not attained, even provisionally, that uniformity or oneness of plan so much to be desired on the part of statisticians." Since the above was written, results have shown that I was not alone in the opinions I then expressed ; as, no doubt, this subject was not the least important of those connected with the arrangements for the Census of 1891, which led to the conference of statisticians in Hobart in 1890. Looking at the results of that conference, and at the minutes of their proceedings, it is evident that the proper classification of the employments of the people occupied the most serious attention of the members thereof, and I congratulate the conference on the result of their painstaking efforts, as the new classification is a great step in advance of any hitherto in use. The effect of the change made on that occasion will be to secure the adoption of that classification of occupations by all statisticians in Australasia in compiling the Census returns of 1891 ; and thus a comprehensive and systematic return of the avocations of the people of Australasia on a very much enlarged basis will have been prepared, exactly in the same manner, so that suitable and reliable comparisons can be made respecting the prevailing industries in which the people of the several Colonies find employment. It is to be hoped that the same classification will be ultimately adopted in other portions of the British Empire, so that a systematic return of the occupations followed by all people living under the rule of Great Britain may be ultimately obtained.

The adoption of the new system of classification has only one disadvantage—namely, that it renders it almost impossible to compare the occupations of the people of this Colony at the Census of 1891 with the returns on this subject compiled at previous enumerations in Queensland. Efforts have been made in this direction, and considerable time was spent over the operation, but the result has not been as successful as could be wished. The information so compiled, such as it is, will be found at Table No. CI., pages 178 to 197 in the Appendix, to which I will further allude in a subsequent part of my Report. Although the new classification, framed by the conference, saved me much labour in attempting a revision of the old classification adopted in this Colony in 1886, which I had determined to undertake from notes made during the compilation at that Census, yet, amongst other preliminary arrangements for the Census of 1891, it rendered it necessary that I should prepare a totally new index of occupations for the use of the compilers to show the class, order, sub-order, and number in sub-order under which each trade, profession, business, &c., should be classified. This was a very arduous undertaking, and occupied much time ; it also necessitated a considerable amount of trouble and labour ; but the result was of the greatest service to the compilers, as it enabled

them to arrange the Occupation Tables in a systematic way, which it would have been impossible to do without such assistance. The index so compiled occupies 27 pages of closely printed double-column post paper.

The new scheme for classifying occupation divides all means of livelihood adopted by the population, as well as that portion who were dependent on relatives, or who had no specified employment, into seven great classes, as under :—

Class I. Professional.

Class II. Domestic.

Class III. Commercial.

Class IV. Industrial.

Class V. Agricultural, Pastoral, Mineral, and other primary producers.

Class VI. Indefinite.

Class VII. Dependents.

The classes, as above, are subdivided into orders, and the orders re-subdivided into sub-orders. There are figures in the sub-orders, against which are set out specifically the name or description of the exact occupation or other means of support which are known as likely to be adopted by each member of the community. Notwithstanding the care with which the classification was prepared, and the way in which it was extended, many instances occurred of occupations being named in the Householder's Schedules which were new or unusual, and, consequently, did not appear in the sub-orders ; but this is always likely to occur in new communities such as settle here and elsewhere in Australia. The difficulty in each case was, however, easily overcome, and when the occupation was properly classified, additions were made to the index to which I have previously referred, so that that record will be increased in scope, and rendered more valuable as a guide at future Census compilations.

In giving the results of the classification of occupation in the Synoptical Tables relating to the Census districts, from want of space it was only possible to give the number of individuals, males and females, returned in such class and order ; but it is hoped that even then the information afforded by these Tables will be found useful. For the benefit of those who require more specific information, exact and extended particulars relative to the occupations followed by the people in each Census district will be found at Table CII., page 198 in the Appendix.

Reverting again to Table CI., page 178 in the Appendix, it is sought to show therein a comparison of the occupations followed by the people at the Census enumerations of 1886 and 1891, together with the numerical and centesimal increase in each, and the proportion per cent. of the population, males and females, who followed each kind of occupation. But owing (as I have previously stated) to the complete change made in the system of classification, the arrangement of this Table was a matter of considerable difficulty, and the result sometimes disappointing ; on the whole, however, I think it gives an approximate comparison of the chief employments followed by the people at the enumerations referred to. The following statement has been prepared to show the result of such a comparison so far as it affects the great "industrial" class comprehended under the different classifications at the periods referred to :—

From this it appears that the occupations classified as industrial under the Census of 1886, Order VIII. and part of Order XI., contained 13,870 persons, while traders, manufacturers, and other business people who followed similar occupations in 1891, selected from the various orders into which the occupations are now classified, only numbered 13,027 persons, showing an apparent decrease in the return of Industrial Workers of 843 persons. The chief increase in this portion of the Industrial Workers is in manufacturers and dealers in vehicles, harness, saddlery, and leather ware, 330 persons ; in manufacturers and dealers in books and publications, 173 persons ; and the chief decreases are in dealers in building materials, persons employed in construction and repairs of buildings, &c., 937 persons ; and in manufacturers and dealers in machines, tools, and implements, 559 persons. In the next section—viz., Order IX. and part of X. under the old classification there is an increase of 1,964 persons. All the sub-orders in this section show an increase. In the next section, comprised in Order VII. And part of X. and XI. of the old classification, there is a decrease of 2,493 persons. In the section included in part of Order XII. under the old classification, in that part of the order which relates to persons employed in the conversion of coal and other substances to the purposes of heat, there is an increase of 51, and in manufacturers and dealers in metals other than gold and silver there is also an increase of 468 persons ; but there is a decrease of 381 persons in other sub-orders, so that the net increase in this order is only 138 persons. In the section embraced under Order XII. in the old classification—viz., employed in the construction of roads, railways, &c., and in the deposition of refuse there is a decrease, but in the other part of Order XII., persons employed in mining, there is an increase of 2,064 persons. Taking the industrial workers, &c., embraced in the statement as a whole, there is an apparent net increase of 514 persons.

A further statement is given which shows a comparison of some of the other sections of occupations, as disclosed by the return of the Census of 1886 and 1891—namely, agriculturists, pastoralists, miners, and scholars :—

Relative to the first section, " Agriculturists," it will be observed that, with respect to those engaged in and employed about the cultivation of sugar, there was a net decrease of 1,809 persons, mostly in those included under sugar-growers' labourers. Of those in the same section engaged in farming pursuits—namely, farmers, market gardeners, dairy farmers, fruit-growers, tobacco-growers, and farm labourers, there was a net increase in 1891 of 2,698 persons ; but a decrease of 401 persons is apparent in those included in that section described as farm labourers. The horticulturists increased by 904 persons, but in wine-growers and vignerons there was a decrease of 4 persons.

Referring to the section in the statement which includes pastoralists, it will be seen that there was an increase in 1891 of 2,766 persons. The greatest increase occurred in those described as pastoral servants and labourers.

The next part of the statement is that section which includes miners of all kinds, amongst which it will be seen that in 1891 there was an increase of 1840 persons. The miners in silver and lead showed the largest increase, consisting of 595 persons, although the increase in the number of miners for gold, both in alluvial and Iode, was very nearly equal to the silver miners.

The last section in the statement is that which relates to scholars, from which it will be perceived that there was a large increase—viz., 19,298 persons, less a decrease of 249 persons attending Grammar schools ; the net increase was thus 19,049 persons. Of this increase the greatest part consists in scholars attending the State schools—viz., 10,175 persons. The next largest increase was in scholars attending Provisional schools—namely, 3,751 persons and the next those attending denominational schools (Roman Catholic)—viz., 3,177. The increase in scholars attending Protestant denominational schools was only 3 during the period. With respect to private schools not denominational, the scholars who attended them show an increase of 1,057 persons since 1886.

Having carefully examined Table CI., it has been found impossible to institute a comparison in any of the other comprehensive sections of the occupations of the people in 1886 and in 1891 which would contain information of any interest to the reader. A statement, however, has been prepared and is given below, which gives a general view comparison of the occupations in 1886 and 1891, under the designations usually employed in the classification, but without any attempt to compare the occupations within classes and orders.

Of course the numbers in the above statement, as arranged, are only approximate. For instance, the number given under the head of General Government shows a decrease in 1891, but this is caused from the fact that persons engaged

in excepted departments are distributed under other headings of occupations, and the excepted departments were not the same in 1891 as in 1886.

Table CII., page 198 of the Appendix, shows the number of persons in each Census district who were engaged at the different employments or means of livelihood therein schedule. Analysing that Table, it will be found that 10,476 persons were engaged in the various employments included under Class I., "Professional" ; that 20,386 were engaged in those occupations included under Class II., " Domestic " ; 31,271 persons were engaged in those included under Class III., " Commercial " ; 47,184 persons were engaged in those included under Class IV., " Industrial " ; 67,992 persons were engaged in those included under Class V., " Agricultural, Pastoral, Mineral, and other Primary Producers." Only 2,393 persons were included in Class VI., " Indefinite " ; and 214,116 persons were included in Class VII., " Dependents." Of course, the latter class includes the great majority of the women and children in the Colony.

The above being the numbers engaged in, or included under, the seven great classes into which the occupations of the people have been divided, the following statement shows the number and proportion of the total population of persons engaged in occupations included in each class at the time the Census of 1891 was taken :—

VII. Dependent Class214,01654.35

Having given the number and proportion of the population engaged in each class, it may be well also to point attention to the number of persons included under each order in each class, and to allude more particularly to the form of employment embraced in each sub-order in each order, so far as same can be epitomised. In Class I., Order I., are included persons engaged in Government, Defence, Law, and protection not otherwise classed. Of persons so engaged, there were 3,610 returned, of whom 806 were engaged in the General Government, exclusive of excepted departments, 265 in Local Government, 913 in Defence, and 1,626 in Law and Order.

Class VI.—Indefinite—embraces all persons who derive incomes from services rendered, but the direction of which services cannot be exactly determined.

In Order XXII.—Section B of the above class—Dependents, Non-Breadwinners—includes persons whose occupations are undefined or unknown, embracing those who derive incomes from sources which cannot be directly related to any other class. Of such 2,393 were returned, including 464 who were possessed of independent means—having no specific occupation or it was not defined—and there were 1,929 persons the information respecting whom was undefined both as regards means and particular occupations—for example, such as were returned as manager, assistant, apprentice, partner, proprietor, employer, overlooker, foreman, &c., &c.

Class VII.—Dependents—embraces all persons dependent upon relatives not otherwise engaged in pursuits for which remuneration is paid ; and all persons depending upon private charity, or whose support is a burthen on the public revenue.

In Order XXIII.—In this Order are included persons dependent upon natural guardians. Of such 209,546 were returned, embracing 60,818 engaged in domestic duties for which remuneration is not paid ; 142,661 were dependent scholars and students, and 6,067 were dependent relatives above school age, and not stated to be performing domestic duties.

In the concluding Order XXIV. (in the same class) are included persons dependent upon the State or upon public or private support. Of these 4,470 were returned, including 3,762 persons supported by voluntary and State contributions, of which 958 were hospital patients, 666 were inmates of benevolent asylums, 1,104 of lunatic asylums, 752 of orphan asylums, 73 of industrial schools, 124 of refuges, and 85 others not definitely described. There were 708 members of the criminal class in the various penal establishments of the Colony. The above gives aresumeof the whole of the occupations as arranged under the new system of classification adopted by the conference at Hobart.

Table CIII., pages 224 to 249 in the Appendix, shows the number of males, and Table CIV., pages 250 to 275, the number of females employed in or included under each separate avocation, mentioned in the scheme of classification of occupations, living in each Census district at the time of the Census of 1891 ; and Table CV. gives the totals of both males and females in each Census district, respecting each order included in the classification of occupations.

The latter portion of the same Table also shows by totals of orders the avocations, &c., of the Chinese, Polynesians, and persons of other alien races included in the population at the time of the Census. Analysing that Table, and also Tables CVIII., CIX., and CX., pages 310 to 333 in Appendix, it will be seen that the greatest number of Chinese—namely, 5,431 persons, were engaged in the cultivation of land, rearing or breeding animals, or in obtaining raw products from natural sources ; 966 were employed in board and lodging and rendering personal services for which remuneration was paid ; 670 were engaged as general dealers, speculators, in undefined mercantile pursuits ; 497 as industrial workers imperfectly defined ; and 325 were engaged dealing in food, drinks, narcotics, or stimulants. The Tables referred to also show the other occupations in which Chinese were employed, but the numbers of this race included in other orders do not call for special comment. Table CVIII. shows the exact number employed in each avocation included in each order. It will be observed, on reference to that Table, that out of a total of 8,574 persons of that race in this Colony at the time of the Census, only 97 were supported by voluntary and State contributions ; of those, 24 were inmates of hospitals, &c., 52 were inmates of the Lunatic Asylum, and 21 were of the criminal class.

Referring to the Tables mentioned, and analyzing the returns therein contained relative to Polynesians, it will be observed that 8,559 such persons were engaged in the cultivation of land, rearing or breeding animals, or in obtaining raw products from natural sources. The subdivisions of this order given in Table CIX. show that of the above 7,311 were sugar-growers' labourers ; 997 were farm servants, agricultural labourers; 49 were farmers ; 36 were market gardeners ; 31 were fruitgrowers ; 3 were engaged in occupations included in the order, but their duties were not specified ; and 1 was engaged in growing arrowroot.

The next greatest number included in any one order, except Order XXIII., Class VII.—Dependents—was transport of passengers, goods, or communications, viz., 190, and the subdivisions of this order in Table CIX. shows that 160 of these were employed on seas, rivers, and canals, of whom 144 were engaged in boats at Somerset.

The next greatest number employed in one order, except as above, was 163 engaged in board and lodging and rendering personal services for which remuneration is paid. The subdivisions of this order given at Table CIX. show that most of the above were employed in " attendance " as servants in various capacities.

The next greatest number included in any order was 112 engaged as industrial workers imperfectly described. The subdivisions of this order in Table CIX. show that 111 of these were described as labourers undefined. Turning now to Order

XXIII., Class VII., alluded to above, which includes those classified as dependent upon natural guardians, it will be seen that 238 were there mentioned. The subdivisions of the order given in Table CIX. show that these persons consisted of 31 Polynesian wives and 173 children.

The Table last referred to shows that out of a total of 9,428 persons of that race only 43 were dependent upon the State or upon public or private support, of which 17 were inmates of hospital, and 22 were included in the criminal class.

The number of Polynesians included in other orders does not call for any special remark.

If the Tables referred to be examined with reference to persons of other alien races included in the population, it will be found that the greatest number of such people included in any one order were those engaged in the cultivation of land, &c., namely—999, and the subdivisions of that order on page 331 of the Appendix show that by far the greatest number were engaged in agricultural pursuits, 703 being engaged as sugar-growers' labourers. In Order XIII., 281 were included as engaged in the transport of passengers, goods, or communication ; the subdivisions of this order given on page 329 shows that the great majority, 228, were employed as seamen at Somerset.

In Order III., 192 such persons were included as being engaged in board and lodging and rendering personal services, &c. The subdivisions of this order, on page 327, show that the greater number of the persons referred to were engaged in attendance, in various capacities, as servants. In Order XXIII., 100 such persons were classified as dependent on natural guardians, &c. ; the subdivision of the order, on page 333, shows that of these 51 were wives, and 33 were children. In Order XXIV., dependent upon the State or upon public or private support, 54 such persons are included. The subdivisions of this order, on page 333, show that 25 were inmates of the various benevolent institutions, and 29 were included in the criminal classes. The number of persons of other alien races included in the other orders are not of such importance as to require special attention to be drawn to them.

Table CXI., pages 334 to 337, contains a list of all occupations included in the classification, arranged in the order of numerical importance.

It may be of use to point out some of the occupations or means of livelihood in which the greater number of persons who compose the population are employed. The first in importance embraces " child, relative at home, not otherwise described," of whom there were 62,848 thus classified ; next in numerical importance are children attending the State schools, of which there were 50,485 ; next wives, numbering 47,762 ; next farmers, 20,364 ; next labourers undefined, 11,603 ; next sons, daughters, relatives not at school, old enough to assist natural guardians, and so returned, 11,136 ; next housemaids, kitchen-maids, and general servants, 9,299 ; next sugar-growers' labourers, 8,799 ; next stockriders, drivers, horse-feeders, shearers, and pastoral labourers, 8,748. Then the children attending the Roman Catholic schools, 7,077 ; and Provisional schools, 6,658 ; then children receiving instruction at home, 6,556 ; then gold-miners working lodes, 6,293 ; and then farm servants and agricultural labourers, 6,150.

The above shows in what special avocation the largest proportion of the community were engaged under each head of the classification of occupation.

The number of persons otherwise employed than as above stated, it will be seen from that Table, gradually decrease in numerical importance. Table CXIII. contains similar information connected with the Chinese, Polynesians, and persons of other alien races included in the population.

Table CVI., page 282, shows by ages the population, both males and females, included in each class and order under which the occupations, &c., of the people have been classified.

It may not be uninteresting to make a few extracts from the Table as to the ages of the people who follow some of the more important occupations.

Taking Class 1, Order 1, Sub-order 1, it will be found that of persons under the head of General Government, not including persons employed in excepted departments, such as Railways, Post and Telegraph Departments, Harbours and Rivers, &c., the following number were employed at the several age periods given below :—

From the above it will be perceived that the greatest number of children at any one age returned as being at school was between 7 and 8 years—namely, 3,992 males and 3,870 females. It also will be observed that there were 50 boys and 60 girls attending school at the early age of 3 to 4 years ; and between the comparatively advanced ages of 20 to 21 there were 3 males and 8 females ; and between 21 and 25 years there were 2 females still receiving school education. The above schedule does not include students at Universities, of whom only 3 were returned, all being males ; 1 was between 15 and 20, 1 between 20 and 25, and the other between 25 and 30.

Included in the above statement are children and scholars who attend the State schools (exclusive of Grammar schools). A statement of their ages is appended :—

It was previously remarked that the greatest number of children at any one age attending schools of all kinds in the Colony was between 7 and 8 years ; this is also the case with respect to the State school children, as 5,973, the largest number, were between the ages referred to, the next greatest number—namely, 5,820—was at the age of 9 to 10.

There were 6,556 children—2,925 boys and 3,631 girls—returned as receiving education at home, and 5,307 children—namely, 2,441 males and 2,886 females—were returned as receiving no education, all of which were old enough to go to school, as their ages ranged between 4 and 18 years.

The next important section of the community to whose ages I will refer are those whose occupations are included under the general head of Agricultural Pursuits. The following are the number at each age period, males and females, engaged in avocations connected with the above—Class V., Order XXI., Sub-order 1 :—

The persons included in the above form one of the most important sections of producers, and therefore part of what may be said to be the backbone of this Colony, so that it is desirable to analyse this statement a little. First, attention may be called to the number of the young people at school ages who were returned as being employed in agricultural pursuits, no doubt to the detriment of their education. Of these it will be found that there are 22 at the early ages of from 7 to 10, the age at which, as I pointed out in an earlier portion of this Report, the greatest number of boys and girls were at school. Of the children referred to, 18 were males and 4 females. Going further, it will be seen that between 10 and 15 years there were 1,034 young persons, consisting of 829 males and 205 females, employed at this pursuit ; between 15 and 21 there were 6,987, including 5,926 males and 1,061 females, who were no doubt learning their business, evidently preferring to wrest the natural products from the soil for a livelihood than to seek employment in cities or towns, which too many young colonists are now in the habit of doing. Having in view of the future interest of the Colony and of the people themselves, it is greatly to be desired that a larger number of young people in Queensland followed the example of the young people above mentioned.

From 21 to 40 there were 18,268 persons, composed of 15,795 males and 2,473 females, employed at this industry at the age mentioned. A comparatively small band, of whom it may be said that they are only the foundation stone of a great industry which is yearly advancing in proportion, and gives promise that at no very distant date it will assume an important position amongst the great producing interests of the Colony.

Between the ages of 40 to 50 there were 5,657 so engaged, of whom 4,591 were males, 1,066 females. The proportion of more advanced age, from 50 to 60 and upwards, numbered 6,221, of whom 5,097 were males and 1,124 were females. There were 1,791 persons in this particular section who did not give their age—namely, 1,635 males and 156 females.

The ages of those engaged in pastoral pursuits, as described in Class V., Order XXI., Sub-order 2, are contained in the following statement :—

This statement shows that there were 42 persons, all boys, employed in pastoral pursuits under the age of 12 years ; that there were 344 young persons, including 321 males and 23 females, so employed between 12 and 15 ; of other persons engaged in this occupation, 2,104, made up of 2,004 males and 100 females, were between 15 and 21 ; 9,730, of whom 9,338 were males and 392 females, were between 21 and 50 ; and 2,029 persons, consisting of 1,891 males and 138 females, were between 50 and 60 years and upwards.

In addition to the above there were 55 persons, all males, whose ages could not be ascertained.

At the time the Census was about to be taken, representations were made on all sides by the labour leaders that great numbers of men were out of employment in this Colony. To ascertain the true facts of the case in this respect, and as the Householders' Schedules provided for the collection of information on this subject, arrangements were made in the Census Office to have Tables prepared which would contain all particulars which could be obtained from the Census returns on this subject. The compilation was made with great care. The result, in a condensed form, is given in the following tabular statement, which shows the class of occupations in which those who returned themselves as unemployed were last engaged :—

Total returned as unemployed11,263

From the above it will be observed that 11,263 persons returned themselves as unemployed on the day the Census was taken ; but as all those engaged in the great strike at that time, from whom schedules were obtained, described themselves as being out of employment, the total above given was largely increased and in an unnecessary manner. This will be explained further on. If the statement given be examined it will be seen that the largest number of the unemployed included in any one order was in Class IV., Order XX., Sub-order 1, which includes persons described as industrial workers, imperfectly defined. The only sub-order in that order, in which 3,535 persons were included, embraces persons defined as follows :—Mechanics, manufacturers (so defined), factory workers (undefined), engineers, engine-drivers, stokers (undefined), carters, waggoners, horse-drivers (undefined), labourers (undefined), and other persons whose occupations of the kind mentioned are imperfectly defined.

The next section, referring to the unemployed, which presents the greatest numerical importance is in Class V., Order XXI., Sub-orders 1 to 6, which includes 3,326 persons.

The definition of the previous employment of the persons included in Sub-orders mentioned is sufficiently set out in the statement to which reference has been made. It will be seen from the foregoing that nearly two-thirds, or 60.91 per cent., of the persons who returned themselves as unemployed at the Census of 1891 were included in the two orders mentioned. The next order in which the greatest number of unemployed persons appear—namely, 1,251 persons—is Order XIX., Sub-orders 1 and 2, which embraces artizans of all kinds, engaged in houses and buildings, and persons described as workers on roads, railways, earthworks, &c.

That a good many unemployed persons should have been included in this above order at the time of the Census was to be expected, owing to the depressed state of the building trade, consequent on the financial crisis through which the Colony was then passing, and to the stoppage of railway works, for the same reason. The balance of persons unemployed is represented by the figures contained in the return relative to other branches of occupation included in the statement, but the number of persons embraced by any one class and order is not so great as those to which attention has been directed.

Making every allowance for the depression in the Colony when the Census was taken, there is no doubt that the ranks of the unemployed were largely and unnecessarily increased by the action of the labour party, previous to and about that time. That this was so will be sufficiently proved from a consideration of the number of the unemployed returned in each census district, and the geographical position of the districts in which they were then resident. The statement appended shows some particulars in connection with this subject :—

From the schedule above given it is apparent that the greatest number of unemployed resided in the districts grouped as the Western Districts, and numbered 3,218 persons. In the districts thus grouped the strikers were camped when the Census was taken, and to the above number may be added those then resident in Clermont District—viz., 467, forming a total of 3,683 persons. The majority of the persons abovementioned were engaged in the strike, and to this extent at least the ranks of the unemployed were increased. In the South Coast Districts, which include Brisbane and the Suburban districts, 2,778 persons were out of employment, but the financial crisis mentioned above, which almost totally stopped the building and timber trade, had had a great deal to do with producing this state of affairs. The districts included in the Darling Downs and Burnett and Wide Bay appear to have been the best off at that time, as the least number of the unemployed resided within their boundaries.

The last Table in the Appendix relative to occupation to which I have to call attention is CLXXI., which will be found at page 466 in the Appendix. It shows the previous occupation of prisoners, arranged according to the new classification. The information necessary to compile the table mentioned was kindly furnished to the Census Collectors by the superintendents of the various penal establishments in the Colony.

It will be observed that the greatest number of male criminals included in any one Order came from those described as "Industrial workers imperfectly defined," and of the females the largest number came from those included under "Persons whose occupations are undefined or unknown, &c." Relative to the females the next Order in degree of numerical importance includes those who were ranked amongst the "Criminal class," and were described as prostitutes. A number

nearly equal to the last Order mentioned came from among those described in Class II. Order III. as persons engaged in the supply of board and lodging and in rendering personal service for which remuneration is usually paid.

CIVIL OR CONJUGAL CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE

Information relative to the civil or conjugal condition of the people in many forms will be found in the Appendix to this Report. The first Table to which attention is directed is that numbered CXIV., which will be found on Page 346. From that Table it will be seen that, including the juvenile portion of the population who had not reached a marriageable age, there were 266,701 persons, including 161,096 males, and 105,605 females unmarried in the Colony on the 5th April, 1891, the night the Census was taken. Also, that on the same date there were 115,483 persons, comprising 57,887 males and 57,596 females married ; 11,197 persons were widowed, consisting of 4,502 males and 6,695 females ; and that there were 337 persons—namely, 294 males and 43 females, whose conjugal condition was not ascertained. The following statement contains a comparison of this result with that shown by the returns of the Census taken in 1886 :—

From the above it will be observed that the unmarried portion of the population increased by 45,954 persons—viz., 21,836 males and 24,118 females, since the Census was taken in 1886 ; that since that period the married portion increased by 22,439 persons, consisting of 10,924 males, and 11,515 females ; also that amongst the widowed portion there was an increase of 2,638 persons—namely, 798 males, and 1,840 females. It will also be noted that, notwithstanding the increase in the population since the last Census, the number of persons whose conjugal condition could not be ascertained decreased by 166 persons—namely, 123 males and 43 females, proving that in this respect the Householders' Schedules were more accurately filled up than was the case at the previous Census. It must also be borne in mind that many persons included in that section were no doubt Chinese, Polynesians, or persons of other alien races who cannot tell their age. This is especially the case amongst the Polynesians.

The centesimal proportion of each condition above specified in the Census population of 1891 was as under :—

Unmarried.Married.Widowed.Conjugal Condition and Ascertained.
Persons.Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.
Percentage of each condition to the total population67.7440.9226.8229.3314.7014.632.841.141.700.090.080.01

Comparing the centesimal proportions above given with similar results shown by the Census of 1886, the following is the result :—The unmarried portion of the population proportionately decreased by 0.63 per cent., the males proportionally increased by 2.21 per cent., and the females decreased by 1.58 per cent. The married portion increased by 0.51 per cent., the males by 0.15 per cent., and the females by 0.36 per cent. The widowed portion increased by 0.19 per cent. persons, the males decreased by 0.01 per cent., and the females increased by 0.20 per cent. The proportionate decrease in those persons whose condition was not ascertained was persons 0.07 per cent., males 0.05 per cent., females 0.02 per cent.

Referring again to the unmarried portion of the population, it may be as well to see what number and proportion of those so returned were at a marriageable age—that is, the age at which marriage is permitted by law on obtaining the consent of parents or guardians—viz., 14 years for males and 12 years for females.

If reference be made to Table CXVI., page 347 in the Appendix, it will be found that the total unmarried persons under 15 years of age was 146,593, consisting of 74,184 males and 72,409 females, or a proportion of 46.05 per cent. of the total population in that condition.

Taking the above from the total number of persons who were unmarried when the Census was taken, it will be found that there were 120,108 persons—86,912 males and 33,196 females. If to this be added the number of males of the age 14 to 15, and of females 12 to 15, so as to ascertain the number of legally marriageable people who were unmarried, the following is the result :—135,040 persons—males 90,796, and females 44,244. This, then, will give the whole number of single persons (males and females) in this Colony at the time of the Census who were legally in a position to marry.

This shows that the marriageable men calculated in the manner above described were more than twice as numerous as the marriageable women.

When considering this proportion of marriageable men, it must be remembered that there is a portion of the population composed of persons of alien races, such as Chinese, Polynesians, &c., who as a rule do not marry in this Colony. Of these there were 8,290 Chinese, 8,303 Polynesians, and 1,623 males of other alien races—a total of 18,216, which, if deducted from the marriageable males as above stated, would leave the total thus corrected at 72,580, this corrected total being in proportion to the marriageable women of 60.95.

The following statement shows the number of unmarried persons at each age in the Census population :—

It will be observed from the first column of the foregoing Statement that the number of marriageable men at every age period greatly exceeded the marriageable women, and this is particularly noticeable at the age periods between 30 and upwards, the number of females at these age periods unmarried appearing to be very small indeed compared with the unmarried men.

If the persons of all alien races be excluded from the unmarried, the very great disproportion between the unmarried of both sexes is still apparent. Again, if the number of each sex unmarried at the ages considered to be the prime of life—say, from 25 to 45—be taken, the disproportion is very great indeed. Dealing with all unmarried persons, the respective numbers between the ages mentioned are 36,687 men compared with 5,737 women, the unmarried men being in that case in the proportion of 15.63 to the unmarried women ; but taking the number at the same age period, exclusive of persons of all alien races, the number of unmarried men is 27,021, and the unmarried women 5,608, showing the proportion of unmarried men to unmarried women between those ages to be 20.76 per cent.

Referring to the youngest ages at which marriages are usually contracted in this Colony, as shown by the Annual Vital Statistics—namely, 16 years for males, and 14 years for females—I have caused the following Statement to be prepared, which shows the number of unmarried people above the ages mentioned :—

52.1736.36

This return shows that, exclusive of males and females of all the alien races, there were at the time of the Census 66,520 males above 16 years, and 36,560 females above 14 years, who were single. The males formed 57.06 per cent. of the total males above 16 years, and 52.17 per cent. of the total males ; and the females 36.54 per cent. of those above 14 years, and 36.36 per cent. of total females. Comparing this with similar returns taken from the Census of 1886, the following results are apparent :—The marriageable males, 16 and upwards, at that time formed 59.13 per cent. of the total males between these ages, and 52.42 per cent. of the total males, consequently the marriageable males, 16 and upwards, to total males of these ages decreased by 1.07 per cent., and to the total males they decreased 0.25 per cent. With respect to the marriageable females, 14 years and upwards, at the Census of 1886, they formed 35.46 per cent. of total females between these ages, and 35.27 per cent. of the total females ; therefore the unmarried females between the ages mentioned increased 1.08 per cent., and also increased 1.09 per cent. of the total females.

It appears to be pretty well determined by statisticians that the period of life at which an unmarried man's or woman's chances of marriage become remote, so as to render them likely to become what are styled as old bachelors or old maids, is for men about the age of 40, and for women about 30. If this be conceded, there were at the time of the Census 15,584 single men and 1,031 single women above the ages mentioned, including those whose age was unspecified, who would consequently be unlikely to enter the marriage state. They form, in the case of men, 19.08 ; and, in the case of women, 3.10 per cent. of the total unmarried males and females above the ages of 15 and 14 years respectively.

Taking the number of the above described persons from the total marriageable males and females at the time of the Census, it will be found that there still remained 71,348 males and 32,174 females of whose marriage there might be a probability. According to the Census returns, the unmarried males of a marriageable age exceeded the married males by 29,025, and the married females exceeded the unmarried, females of a marriageable age by 24,400.

Those interested will find in Table CXIX., page 349 in the Appendix, a comparative statement of the number of unmarried males and females returned at each of the Census enumerations in this Colony, from 1871 to 1891, showing the number of such at all ages, the total under 15 years, and the total from 15 years and upwards ; also, the number at different age-periods, from 15 years to 100 and upwards.

MARRIED PEOPLE.

According to the returns of the late Census, there were 115,483 married people in the Colony, of whom 57,887 were husbands and 57,596 wives. The married men were in proportion to the whole male population of 25.86 per cent., and the married females were in proportion to whole female population of 33.89 per cent. The husbands in the population exceeded the wives by 291. At the Census of 1886 the husbands in the population exceeded the wives by 882. Although it will be seen that the number of husbands was nearly equal to the number of wives throughout the Colony, all the husbands returned did not belong to the wives returned, andvice versa.

I have caused a statement of the relative ages of husbands and wives who were living together, or who were absent from one another on the date of the Census to be prepared, which is appended :—

In order that the above table may be understood, it should be read in this way :—In the first column there are 978 wives included, ranging in age from 15 to 20 years, of these 15 were married to men about their own age ; 19 were married to men between 20 and 21 ; 306 to men between 21 to 25 ; 335 to men between 25 and 30 ; 120 to men between 30 and 35 ; 29 to men between 35 and 40 ; and so on, and the foot of the column shows that out of 978 couples represented in that column, in 835 cases the husbands were living at home with their wives, and that in 143 cases the husbands were absent on Census day.

With this explanation I will draw attention to the results shown in the Table, which will be best seen in a condensed tabular form as follows :—

Ages unspecified.11580351188731

Shortly stated, the above shows that there were 115 husbands and 1,873 wives between the ages of 15 and 21 years. Between 21 and 40 there were 31,170 husbands and 36,855 wives ; between 40 and 50 there were 13,361 husbands and 10,837 wives ; and between the age period 50 to 80 and upwards there were 13,126 husbands and 18,750 wives : of those whose age was not stated there were 115 husbands and 118 wives.

It will also be observed from the above that the quinquennial age period in which the greatest number of husbands are included is that between 30 and 35, of whom there were 10,801 ; the next greatest number, viz. 9,161, were between 25 and 30 ; and the next greatest number, viz. 8,854, were between 35 and 40.

With respect to the wives, it will be seen that the quinquennial age period at which the greatest number were returned, viz. 12,002, is from 25 to 30 ; the next greatest number, 10,406, appearing between 30 and 35 ; and the next greatest number, 7,421, being between 35 and 40.

It may not be uninteresting to note from the above statement some instances of disparity in age between the parties who were husband and wife at the time of the Census ; thus it appears that there was one man between 70 and 75 husband of a woman whose age was between 20 and 25 ; and there were three husbands whose ages were between 75 and 80 living with young wives of between 30 and 35 years of age. The greatest disparity of age between a wife and a husband was in the case of a woman whose age was between 75 and 80 living with a husband whose age was between 55 and 60.

If the column with the greatest number of husbands, and also that with the greatest number of wives, be taken as an illustration of the respective ages of husband and wife at the time of the Census, the following will be the result :—The age of the husband being between 30 and 35 years, 120 of them had wives between 15 to 20 years of age ; 134 had wives between 20 and 21 ; 1,421 had wives between 21 and 25 ; 3,851 had wives between 25 and 30 ; in 3,263 instances the husband's and the wife's age came between the same quinquennial age period, viz. 30 to 35 ; 518 husbands had wives between 35 to 40 ; 87 had wives between 40 and 45 ; 13 had wives between 45 to 50 ; 2 had wives between 50 and 55 ; and in two cases the age of the wife was not stated.

Turning now to the wives, it will be seen that at the age period 25 to 30, in which the greatest number of wives appear, that at that age period one woman had a husband between 15 and 20, one had a husband between 20 and 21,339 had husbands between 21 and 25, 3,657 had husbands between 25 and 30, 3,851 had husbands between 30 and 35, 1,673 had husbands between 35 and 40, 539 had husbands between 40 and 45, 263 had husbands between 45 and 50, 95 had husbands between 50 and 55, 20 had husbands been 55 and 60, 7 had husbands between 60 and 65, 3 had husbands between 65 and 70, 3 had husbands between 70 and 75, and in one case the age of the husband was unspecified.

Of the total husbands and wives returned at the Census, 8,145 husbands were absent from their wives at the time ; and 8,436 wives were absent from their husbands. The largest number of husbands at any one age period absent from home on that occasion was 1,549 between the age period 25 to 30 ; and the greatest number of wives absent from their husbands at any age period was 1,387, between the age period 30 to 35.

Before leaving this portion of the inquiry I append a table which shows the proportion of husbands and wives at three different periods of life—viz., 15 to 40 years, 40 to 60 years, and 60 to 100. Also the proportion of those whose age was not stated.

These figures show that at the age period 15 to 40 there were 60.63 per cent. married ; that from 40 to 60 their proportion was 33.78 ; and from 60 to 100 the proportion was 5.39 ; while ages not stated formed the proportion of 0.20 per cent.

I also append a statement which shows the number of married persons amongst the alien races included in the population :—

This shows that out of a total of 8,574 Chinese who were in the Colony at the time of the Census only 219 were married, consisting of 198 males and 21 females, the proportion of such married people to the total Chinese population in the Colony being 2.55 per cent., and to the total population of Queensland 0.05 per cent.

The total number of married persons amongst the Polynesians was 567, consisting of 289 males and 278 females, the proportion of such married persons to the total Polynesian population in Queensland being 6.01 per cent., and to the total population of the Colony 0.14 per cent. The married persons amongst the other alien population of the Colony numbered 186 persons, consisting of 113 males and 73 females, and they were in proportion to the total number of such persons in the population of Queensland of 9.98 per cent., and to the total population of the Colony 0.04 per cent.

WIDOWED PERSONS.

Amongst the total population there were 11,197 widowed persons, consisting of 4,502 widowers and 6,695 widows. The following statement shows the number of such persons at each age period :—

This shows that the widows exceeded the widowers by 2,193 persons, and that the greatest number of widowers at any age period was 855 between 60 and 70 ; the greatest number of widows 1,257, also being in the same age period. There

were 5 widows and 1 widower at the early age period of between 15 and 20, and 6 widows between 20 and 21 ; making 11 females widowed before they reached the age of 21 years. There was 1 widow alive at the advanced age of over 100 years. The proportion of widowers to the total married males was 8.78 ; to the total males above 15 years 3.01 ; and to the total male population 2.01. The proportion of widows to the total married females was 11.62 ; to the total females above 15 6.86 ; and to the total female population 3.94.

The following Statement shows some of the Census Districts in which the greatest number of Widowers and Widows were returned :—

From this it will be seen that there are a larger number of widowers and widows in the Census districts above referred to situated in the districts about Brisbane, and in the Moreton and Stanley districts, than on the Downs or in the Central or Northern districts.

AGES OF THE PEOPLE.

The ages of the people, arranged in annual periods from under 1 year to under 5 years, and thence by quinquennial periods up to 55 years, and from that age by decennial periods up to 100 years and upwards, according to the information furnished by the population at the Census of 1891, will be found in Tables in the Appendix, to which I will refer later on. How far such returns are correct it is hard to say, there being an evident unwillingness on the part of many persons, especially women, after a certain age, to give exact replies to the query under the head of Inquiry. Mr. Henry De Schmidt, Director of the Census of 1891 at the Cape of Good Hope, makes the following observations on the subject :—"To obtain trustworthy answers to the simple inquires in regard to age is one of the most difficult tasks of the Census taking all over the world. We have here to contend against a much larger degree of ignorance of the people in regard to their ages. Here also we meet with the same willful misrepresentation as is so convincingly proved to exist elsewhere, especially on the part of women, some of whom return themselves deliberately as older, and some as younger, than they really are."

I fear the circumstances referred to in this statement may be as truly said, though not perhaps to the same extent, of this Colony as of the Cape. In Queensland there is not that degree of ignorance amongst the people as to their ages (except amongst the Polynesian portion of the population) as there is at the Cape ; but I believe that there has been a good deal of willful misrepresentation as to age by a large section of the community, males as well as females, at least to the extent that it may have prevented a perfectly accurate return under the head of this inquiry being obtained. There can be little doubt, however, that the returns as published may be considered to contain a fair approximation to the result sought to be ascertained.

I have now to refer to the Tables in the Appendix, which contain information relative to the ages of the people, compiled from the return furnished at the Census enumeration of 1891.

Table No. CXXIX., page 360, shows the number of minors in the population in sections, first, the children under 5 years, boys and girls from 5 to 15, and youths from 15 years to under 21. There were 60,325 children under 5 years, including 30,453 males and 29,872 females ; 86,239 persons, consisting of 43,711 males and 42,528 females, from 5 to 15 years ; and 43,752 persons—namely, 22,856 males and 20,896 females, from 15 years and under 21 included

in the population at the Census of 1891 ; in addition to whom there were 29 children whose exact age was not specified—viz., 20 males and 9 females ; the total minors being 190,350 persons, composed of 97,045 males and 93,305 females. The proportion per cent. of each age period as above given, and total of minors to the total of all ages being as under :—

Age Period.Persons.Males.Females.
1 to 515.3213.6117.58
5 to 1521.9019.5325.03
15 to 2111.1210.2112.30
Total minors48.3443.3754.90

The total adults numbered 203,368 persons, consisting of 126,734 males and 76,634 females.

It will be observed from the figures given above that the proportion of sexes in the different age periods into which the minors are divided approximated very closely ; in fact, there was only a difference of 3,740 in favour of the males in the total minor population up to 21 years of age.

The proportion the minor population bears to the adult population is 93.60 per cent.

To enable a comparison to be made between the results of the Census of 1891 relative to the minor population, with that of the Census of 1886, the following statement is appended :—

Under 5 years.5 years and under 15 years.15 years and under 21 years.Children's age unspecified.Total Minors.
Census, 189160,32586,23943,75229190,345

Increase in 189115,16017,3015,8221038,293

From this it will be seen that the difference between the population under 21 years in 1891 compared with 1886 was 38,298 persons.

Having so far referred to the youthful portion of the population, the next step is to extract some information relative to the adult portion from the Tables in the Appendix.

The following statement shows the total number of persons in the population, also males and females, at quinquennial age periods from 21 years and upwards :—

Age Period.Persons.Males.Females.
21 to 2533,93119,04814,883

95 to 100 and upwards963
Adults, age not stated2,3752,087288
Total adults203,373126,73976,634

This shows, with respect to the adult population, that the number of persons returned between the ages of 21 and 50 years was 167,479, embracing 103,127 males and 64,352 females. The following are the proportions the above bear to the total population of all ages :—Persons, 42.53 per cent. ; males, 26.19 per cent. ; and females, 16.34 per cent. At the Census of 1881, the proportion was—Persons, 42.99 per cent. ; males, 28.00 per cent. ; and females, 14.99 per cent., from which it will be perceived that the proportion of persons between this age period had fallen 0.46 per cent. at the Census of 1891, also that the proportion of males had fallen 1.81 per cent., while the proportion of females at those age periods had risen 1.35 per cent. The number of persons in the period of life from 50 to 100 and upwards, was 33,519, consisting of 21,525 males and 11,994 females. The proportion of persons included in the age period mentioned at the Census of 1891 was 8.51 per cent. of persons, the males being in the proportion of 5.47 per cent., and the females 3.04 per cent. At the Census of 1886, the proportion at the above ages was 7.24 persons, the males being in the proportion of 4.70 per cent., and the females in the proportion of 2.54 per cent. This shows that the proportion of persons at the ages mentioned increased at the Census of 1891 in the proportion of 1.27 per cent.—the males by 0.77 and the females by 0.50 per cent. With respect to the number of adults whose age was not stated—namely, 2,375, by referring to Tables No. CXXXVIII., CXXXIX., and CXL., pages 404 to 406 in the Appendix, it will be seen that there were 130 persons amongst the Chinese, 1,665 amongst the Polynesians, and 99 persons of other alien races whose age was not stated. Taking the total of the above—namely, 1,894, from the total of ages not stated, leaves only 510 persons amongst the rest of the population who did not state their age, and this number is so small that it does not materially affect any of the calculations given above. The paucity of the number also shows the care exercised in giving the information under this head of Inquiry in the Householders' Schedules. The mean or average age of persons in Queensland at the Census of 1891 was 23.54—the males 25.12, and the females 21.48. In Victoria, in 1881, the mean age was 24.77 for the whole population—namely, 26.11 for males and 23.29 for females.

It may be well to give the number of the population at the various ages divided as under :—

Persons requiring care and oversight, say, under 5 years60,325
Children, age unspecified29
60,354
Persons at school-going age, say, from 5 to 15 years86,239
Persons at self-supporting age, say, from 15 to 65 years238,797
Persons infirm and otherwise dependent, say, from 65 and upwards5,953
Adults, age unspecified2,375
Total393,718

The proportion of each class of persons, divided as above, to the total population, is as follows :—

Persons requiring care and oversight15.33
Persons at school-going age21.90
Persons at self-supporting age60.65
Persons infirm and otherwise dependent1.51
Persons age unspecified0.60

This shows that the infants and young children under 5 years formed 15.33 per cent. of the total population ; that children of schoolable age formed 21.90 per cent. ; that the self-supporting portion of the population formed 60.65 per cent., that the infirm and otherwise dependant formed only 1.51 per cent. ; and those whose age was not specified, 0.60 per cent. The above proportions have reference to the whole

population, but if the proportion of males at each age period to the total males living be taken, and the proportion of females at each period to the total females in the population, the following will be the result :—

Sex.Care and Oversight.Proportion per Cent.School-going Age.Proportion per Cent.Self-supporting.Proportion per Cent.Infirm and Dependent.Proportion per Cent.Age not stated, Adults.Proportion per Cent.Totals.
Males30,45313.6143,71119.53143,92164.313,5871.602,0870.93223,779

Persons60,35415.3386,23921.90238,79760.655,9531.512,3750.60393,718

Here it is shown that of the total males in the Colony 64.31 per cent. are at the self-supporting age, and only 1.60 at the infirm and otherwise dependent age ; also, that those at the school-going age formed the proportion of 19.53 per cent., and young male children 13.61 per cent. Comparing the above result with that of the returns of the Census of 1886, it will be seen that the proportion of males under 1 to 5 years, which was 12.02, increased 1.59 per cent. ; the proportion of males at the self-supporting age, according to the Census returns of that year, was 66.64 per cent., showing a decrease in the proportion, according to the returns of 1891, of 2.32 per cent. ; the proportion of males at the infirm and otherwise dependent age at Census of 1886 was 1.30, showing an increase on the proportion in 1891 of 0.30 ; the proportion of males at school-going age at Census of 1886 was 18.30, showing an increase in 1891 of the proportion of males at this age of 1.23 per cent. ; and the proportion of young male children requiring care and oversight at the Census of 1886 was 12.02, showing an increase in 1891 in the division of age periods of 1.59 per cent. With respect to the females, it may be well to show the number and proportion to the total female population of such as were at a fruitful or child-bearing age, which may be said to be between 15 and 45 years. The total females at that age at the Census of 1891 were 79,162, and the proportion to the total female population in 1891 was 46.52. Comparing this with similar figures in the returns of the Census of 1886, the number being 62,823, and the proportion 47.40 per cent., it will be seen that the numerical increase during that period was 16,339, but the centesimal decrease was 0.88.

The persons of very advanced age included in the population were as under :—

The following statement shows the ages of those who composed the alien portion of the population :—

[* Only 2 were above 20 years of age.] [† None above 55 years of age.]

This shows that amongst persons of the alien races in the population of this Colony the great majority are between the ages of 21 to 50. There were only 385 under 15, and 1,267 above the age of 50. As previously stated, the great majority of persons whose age was not specified were included in this class in the population. Amongst the Chinese the age was not stated in 130 instances, amongst the Polynesians in 1,665 instances, and amongst persons of other alien races in 99 instances.

A short description of the Tables in the Appendix, containing information connected with the ages of the population, is here given to facilitate reference. They are numbered CXXIX. to CXL., inclusive, and will be found at pages 360 to 406. Table CXXIX. shows the ages of minors in the population. Table CXXX. shows the proportion of sexes at each quinquennial age period.

EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE.

This part of my Report deals with the information compiled from the Census returns of 1891, relating to the state of elementary knowledge possessed by the people of this Colony. The only subject of inquiry under this head contained in the Householders' Schedules used were as to the ability to read and write, to read only, and the negative of the above questions. The results of the investigation under this head of inquiry are given in Tables CXLI. to CXLV., pages 408 to 436 in the Appendix.

Upon referring to Table CXLI. it will be seen that out of the population enumerated 274,813 persons, including 155,352 males and 119,461 females, could read and write ; 14,535 persons, including 7,044 males and 7,491 females, could read only ; and 102,136 persons, including 60,080 males and 42,056 females, could not read or write. There were also 2,234 persons, comprising 1,303 males and 931 females, whose degree of education was not stated.

The centesimal proportion which the persons in the above divisions bear to the total population, the males to the total male population, and the females to the total female population, is given as under :—

PersonsMalesFemales
Read and write69.8069.4270.30
Read only3.693.154.41
Cannot read or write25.9426.8524.75
Degree of education not specified0.570.580.55

Comparing this result with that collated from the returns of the previous Census taken in 1886, it is gratifying to be in a position to report that a general improvement, at least in elementary education, is observable amongst the population. This will be best seen from the following statement :—

When the Census of 1891 was collected, a proportion of 69.80 per cent. of persons could read and write. When the Census of 1886 was collected, a proportion of only 67.84 per cent. of persons could read and write.

This shows a gain in this division of 1.96 per cent. in favour of persons able to read and write at the Census of 1891.

Those persons who could read only were, at the Census of 1891, in the proportion of 3.69 per cent.

Those persons who could read only were, at the Census of 1886, in the proportion of 4.73 per cent., showing an improvement in 1891 to the extent of 1.04 per cent.

The totally uneducated persons included in the returns of the Census of 1891 were in the proportion of 25.94 per cent., and in 1886 26.88 per cent. ; also an improvement in this respect in favour of 1891 of 0.94 per cent. With respect to those whose degree of education was not specified, the proportion of persons so returned in 1891 was 0.57—0.58 males and 0.55 females ; in 1886 the proportion was 0.55 persons—0.57 males and 0.52 females, an increase under this head of 0.02 persons ; and a decrease of 0.01 males and 0.03 females in 1891.

To enable a fair estimate of the want of even primary education amongst the people, it will be necessary to exclude, in the first place, the children under 3 years of age, none of whom could be expected to possess any education. If the children mentioned, numbering 37,236 persons, comprising 18,802 males and 18,434 females, who are included amongst those who cannot read, be deducted, the number of persons comprised in that division will be reduced to 64,900 persons, composed of 41,278 males and 23,622 females. There is, however, another deduction which should be made amongst the grown up portion of the population of the true state of want of education is to be ascertained—namely, those persons of alien races in the community. A practice obtains amongst the statisticians of Australia to include amongst the return of uneducated persons all Chinese who cannot be shown to be able to read and write English, and this practice was followed when compiling the Census returns of 1891. Taking the Chinese thus tabulated, the Polynesians and persons of other alien races who could not read or write, the following is a summary :—

Persons.Males.Females.
Chinese7,3887,35038
Polynesians8,9018,122779
Other Alien Races1,5681,462106
Total17,85716,934923

Deducting this number also from the figures above given, will leave the true number of people of white races who are possessed of no education, as follows :—47,043 persons, consisting of 24,344 males and 22,699 females, and the above would form the proportion of 11.95 per cent. of persons to the total population of 1891 ; 10.88 per cent. of males to the total males in the population ; and 13.36 per cent. of females to the total females in the population. Having thus reduced the uneducated portion of the population within what may be considered its true limits, it will be observed that the proportion of uneducated persons amongst the females was greater by 2.48 per cent. than it was amongst the males.

Coming now to the consideration of persons who can read and write, it will be found that the centesimal proportion of such persons in the population has been rising steadily in this Colony for the last thirty years, as will be shown from the following return :—

The proportions were—

Persons.Males.Females.
At the Census of 186157.0668.9048.21
At the Census of 186462.4868.1653.66
At the Census of 186863.6666.7558.86
At the Census of 187161.8365.7456.01
At the Census of 187663.9065.2361.87
At the Census of 188163.3162.0965.06
At the Census of 188667.8467.2068.76
At the Census of 189169.8069.4270.30

In the first place, these figures show that the percentage of persons able to read and write increased in the period of thirty years by 12.74. In the second place, it will be noticed that the percentage increase in this degree of education was much more pronounced amongst the females than amongst the males. With respect to the males, at the Census of 1861 the proportion amongst them who could read and write was 68.90 per cent. ; from that time, at each Census period, there was a perceptible decline in the proportion until the lowest was reached—namely, 62.09 per cent., at the Census of 1881. Since then the proportion has risen considerably, and was shown by the last Census to be 69.42 per cent. This proportion only shows an increase over that of the Census of 1861 of 0.52 per cent. With respect to the females, the case is different ; here we have the lowest proportion shown at the Census of 1861—thirty years since—namely, 48.21 ; it then increased at the Census enumerations of 1864 and 1868, but dropped again by 2.85 per cent. at the Census of 1871 ; but at the Census of 1876 the proportion again increased, and has since that time steadily increased until at the Census of 1891 it was 70.30 per cent.—an increase on the proportion shown at the Census of 1861 of 22.09 per cent.

Before proceeding to deal with the ages of those amongst the population who were able to read and write, it may be well to mention that all answers to this inquiry in the Householders' Schedules were not taken as correct. The clerks engaged in transferring particulars from the schedules to the cards were instructed not to include under the division " Read and Write " any children 4 years or under, nor under the division " Read only " any children less than 3 years of age, notwithstanding that their ability to read and write, or read only, at the ages mentioned, may have been stated in the schedule. Children under the age first mentioned who were returned as able to read and write, were classified as able to read only.

With this explanation the following statement is inserted to show the number at each quinquennial age period up to 80 years, and thence by decennial periods, of those persons who were returned as able to read and write :—

Total, 21 years and upwards172,947104,32168,626
Total of all ages274,813155,352119,461

From this it will be perceived that the number of each sex who can read and write up to 21 years is nearly equal, there being, however, a preponderance in favour of the males up to that age of only 196 ; but as the total males at that age in the population exceed the females of that age, the proportion of those who

could read and write amongst the females exceeds the males. This is evident from the following figures :—

Proportion per cent. of males and females under 21 years to the total number of each sex at that age in the population who can read and write :—

Males, 52.59.

Females, 54.48.

To arrive at the true proportion of the above it is necessary to deduct the number of males and females under 4 years from the number of each sex in the population. If this be done the proportion of males and females under 21 years who can read and write is as under :—

Males, 65.22.

Females, 67.90.

If the age periods above 21 years are taken into consideration, it will be seen that the males able to read and write exceed the females to a very great extent at every age period. For the purpose of comparison the age periods are divided as under :—

MalesFemales
21 to 3037,80229,293
30 to 5048,34829,930
50 to 8017,7279,194
80 and upwards202125
Adults, age unspecified24284
104,32168,626

To show by how many in the total of each sex the males in this degree of education are exceeded by the females at the same period of life in each of the particular age periods, the following statement is given :—

Proportion of each sex who can read and write :—

Males.Females.
Between 21 to 3085.2095.14

Between 50 to 8083.3777.93
Between 80 and upwards77.1063.78

It will be seen that the proportion of the females was in excess at all the age periods specified, except at the age periods 50 to 80, and 80 and upwards.

With respect to division those who read only, the statement appended will show the number of males and females returned at the age periods mentioned therein :—

Unspecified age, adults48417
Total 21 years and upwards6,1972,7193,478

It will be perceived that in this division the number of males and females up to 21 years of age who could read only were very nearly equal, the number of males being 312 greater than the females. Relative to those above 21, the number of females exceeded the males by 759. As before stated, the proportion of males in the male population who could read only was 3.15 per cent., and the females in the female population 4.41 per cent. This is the lowest percentage, both of males and females, with this degree of education shown at any Census enumeration in the Colony since 1861, as will be seen from the following statement :—

Proportion at—Persons.Males.Females.
The Census of 186112.249.5316.35
The Census of 186411.318.5315.62
The Census of 18689.348.0211.38
The Census of 18719.977.9312.99
The Census of 18767.986.4910.25
The Census of 18816.345.257.88
The Census of 18864.733.935.89
The Census of 18913.693.154.41

From the foregoing it is evident that the proportion of persons who are satisfied with the degree of education mentioned is steadily declining for the last thirty years in this Colony. The proportion of persons, which was 12.24 per cent., at the Census enumeration of 1861, has declined to 3.69 per cent. at the Census of 1891. The proportion amongst the females has always been greater than amongst the males, but the decrease in the proportion of those who could read only amongst that sex since the Census of 1861 is very marked, having been from 16.25 per cent. in that year to 4.41 per cent. at the Census of 1891.

So far I have confined my remarks to the educational statistics of the whole population at every age period embraced in the Tables. I will now point attention to the educational acquirements of the children of a schoolable age—say, from 6 to under 12 years, so far as same can be obtained from the Census returns, that being the period in which the Educational Department in this Colony are more particularly interested. I have already, in the portion of my remarks dealing with the occupations of the people, given some information connected with the children who were attending different schools at the time of the Census enumeration in 1891, but it will not be out of place to include here a summary of the number of children attending each description of school in this Colony, also the number who are taught at home and the number who apparently receive no education.

This shows that from a total of 52,046 children mentioned in the statement, 34,014 were attending the State schools ; 4,537 were attending provisional schools ; 4,291 were attending Roman Catholic denominational schools ; 3,489 were taught at home ; 1,300 were attending private schools not denominational. The remainder of the children who were being taught at all (who in the aggregate numbered 48,214 persons) went to other kinds of schools. From the returns it was ascertained that 1,975 children were receiving no education. The statement also shows that the proportion of the sexes attending the different kinds of schools was very nearly equal, the males being a little more numerous than the females. The sexes of the children who were receiving no education are also nearly equal, and it is apparent that the greatest number placed in this unfortunate position were between 6 and 7 years of age ; but the number from that age period upwards gradually decreased ; there were, however, 817 between 8 and 11 years being totally uneducated.

In order that persons interested in any particular Census district in the Colony may be able to ascertain the number of children between 6 and under 12 years living in any such district who are attending school or otherwise, I have caused a statement to be prepared, which I append—

If reference be made to Table CLIII. In the Appendix, pages 426 to 433, the ages of the children included in the statement can be obtained.

Amongst persons of the alien races included in the population, there were 1,094 Chinese—viz., 1,086 males and 8 females—who could read and write English, and of the Polynesians there were 176 in the same position—namely, 163 males and 13 females ; and persons of other alien races who possessed the same qualification numbered 268, consisting of 258 males and 10 females.

The Tables in the Appendix which contain information relative to the education of the people may be described as follows :—Table CXLI. compares the number of persons of each degree of education, &c., at each of the Census enumerations from 1861 to 1891. Table CXLII. shows the proportion per cent. of such persons at the Census periods mentioned. Table CXLIII. gives a summary of the degree of education, &c., of the people at different ages. Table CXLIV. shows the number and percentage of persons, &c., of each degree of education, &c., in each Census district in 1891. Tables CXLV. To CLII. give the age, by quinquennial periods and otherwise, of males and females possessed of the several degrees of education, &c., as returned at the Census. Table CLIII. shows the ages of children between 6 and 12 attending the various kinds of schools, &c., in each Census district in the Colony. Table CLIV. Gives the centesimal proportion of males and females at certain ages possessed of the several degrees of education, &c. ; and Table CLV. shows the degree of education, &c., at different age periods, inclusive, and also exclusive, of the Chinese, Polynesians, and persons of other alien races included in the population.

RELIGIONS OF THE PEOPLE.

Before entering upon a consideration of this branch of inquiry made at the Census of 1891, I think it right to state that in this Colony no person was compelled to give any return on this subject contrary to his will or convictions, and he could, if he thought proper, insert as an answer to the query in the Householders' Schedule the words " Object to state." Notwithstanding this privilege there was only a mere fraction of the population—namely, 2,665 persons—who availed themselves of the option thus given to them, but even this number, it must be admitted, was a large increase on that in 1886, which consisted of only 12 persons. It seems that members of most of the Christian denominations, at all events, know the value of religious statistics as a means of helping forward the different churches with which they are connected, and they are therefore at all times willing to give the information sought for under this head at each Census enumeration.

Instructions of the most definite kind as to the manner in which the column in the Householders' Schedule having reference to this subject should be filled, were given on the back of that document, and collectors were instructed to see that same were carefully observed ; so, as far as I am in a position to judge, the information given was both accurate and reliable, and there was a notable absence in the Census returns of 1891 of the usual facetious answers under this head of inquiry. When extracting information relative to religion from the schedules in the Census Office, the clerks had instructions to guide them as to the manner in which this duty should be performed, so that by a little attention on their part no error could occur in the tabulation. In addition, their work of extraction from the schedules to the cards was carefully checked by the most experienced officers engaged in the tabulation, so that the returns presented in the Tables in the Appendix to this Report are absolutely correct so far as the original information afforded by the people is concerned.

The usefulness of accredited statistics of this kind to religious bodies need not be argued here ; that is exemplified by the way in which they are looked forward to at the conclusion of each enumeration by the leading men connected with most of the Christian denominations, and by the many applications I receive for information on this subject. There seems little doubt that the returns in connection with the religious belief may be accepted as a reliable guide to the increase or decrease in the various denominations tabulated. The returns also afford some information relative to the amount of open scepticism or unbelief which obtains in the community.

With these introductory remarks I will now proceed to consider the results obtained by the Census returns of 1891, as to the religious tenets of the people of this Colony.

In the first place, I have caused a statement to be prepared of the number of persons attached to the principal religious denominations in 1891, compared with the number attached to each at the Census of 1886, and showing numerically and centesimally the increase or decrease in each denomination and sect therein mentioned during the period which elapsed between the Census periods mentioned :—

From the above tabulation the following information will be gained :—The Church of England contains the largest number of adherents of any denomination mentioned in the returns ; and consisted of 142,555 persons—a numerical increase of 29,583 persons since the Census of 1886 was taken. The centesimal increase in that body since the last Census was 26.19 per cent., and the proportion they bore to the total population of the Colony was 36.21 per cent., being 1.22 per cent. in excess of the proportion shown at the Census of 1886.

As there are several dioceses in this Colony belonging both to the Church of England and to the Roman Catholic Church, it may be of advantage to show how many members of each church were resident in the Northern, Central, and Southern divisions. I have caused statements to be prepared which give this information. That relative to the Church of England is appended :—

NORTHERN DIVISION.CENTRAL DIVISION.SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.Persons.
Church of England16,81211,68028,49211,4257,31118,73651,57743,75095,327

From the above it will be gathered that there were 28,492 members of the Church of England in the Northern division of the Colony, consisting of 16,812 males and 11,680 females. The proportion which the total members of that church bore to the total population of the Northern division was 36.49 per cent. In the Central division the members of that church numbered 18,736, composed of 11,425 males and 7,311 females ; and the proportion which the total persons bore to the total population of the Central division was 39.98 per cent. And in the Southern division the members of that church numbered 95,327 persons, consisting of 51,577 males and 43,750 females ; and the proportion which the total persons bore to the total population of the Southern division was 35.47.

The Roman Catholic denomination, the next in numerical importance, included 92,765 members, being a numerical increase since 1886 of 15,688 persons. The centesimal ratio of increase since that period was 20.35 per cent., and the proportion which the members of this denomination bore to the total population was 23.56 per cent., a proportion less by 0.31 per cent. than that of the previous enumeration.

The statement referred to above, showing the number of members of the Church of Rome resident in the several divisions of the Colony, is appended :—

NORTHERN DIVISION.CENTRAL DIVISION.SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.Persons.Males.Females.Persons.
Church of Rome9,8377,73217,5697,3055,66212,96731,54630,68362,229

This shows that in the Northern division 17,569 persons, members of that Church, were resident at the time of the Census, of whom 9,837 were males and 7,732 were females. The proportion of the total members of that church in the division to the total population of that division was 22.50 per cent. It also shows that in the Central division there were 12,967 members of that church resident, consisting of 7,305 males and 5,662 females ; the proportion of the whole of the members of that church in the division, to the total population of the division being 27.67 per cent. It further shows that in the Southern division there were 62,229 members of that church, consisting of 31,546 males and 30,683 females. The proportion of the whole of the members of that church resident in the division to the total population of the division, was 23.15 per cent.

The Presbyterian Church, the next in point of numbers, returned 45,639 members, a numerical increase of 7,852 persons since the previous Census. The centesimal increase during the interim was 20.78 per cent., and the proportion the members of this church bore to the total population was 11.59 per cent., a decrease in the proportion of 0.11 per cent. since 1886. The Lutheran Church comes next with 23,383 members, showing an increase since the returns of 1886 of 1,938 persons. The centesimal rate of increase in this denomination since the previous Census was 9.04 per cent., and the proportion persons in this denomination bore to the total population was 5.94 per cent., a proportion less by 0.70 per cent. than at the previous Census.

The Wesleyan Church has the next largest number of members—viz., 20,917, and increased numerically 3,416 since the previous enumeration. The centesimal proportion of increase during the period referred to was 19.52 per cent., and the proportion that the Wesleyans bore to the total population was 5.31, a proportion 0.12 per cent. less than in 1886.

The Baptist Church, next in numerical importance, returned 10,256 members, being an increase of 1,719 persons since the previous Census. The centesimal ratio of increase in that denomination was 20.14 per cent., and their proportion to the total population was 2.60 per cent., a proportion 0.05 less than at the last Census.

The Primitive Methodist Church comes next with a total of 8,639 persons, an increase since 1886 of 2,709 members. The centesimal increase was 45.68, being a much larger centesimal increase than that in any of the denominations previously mentioned. The proportion that the members of that church bore to the total population was 2.19 per cent., a proportion 0.35 greater than at the last enumeration.

The Congregational and Independent Church numbered 8,571 persons, being an increase since the previous Census of 1,519 persons. The percentage of increase was 21.54 per cent., and the proportion the members of the church bore to the total population was 2.18 per cent., a proportion 0.01 per cent. less than that at the previous Census.

The Salvation Army comes next in numerical order ; 4,021 persons were returned as belonging to that body. The numerical increase in the number of persons since 1886 was 3,215, and the centesimal proportion of increase since that period was 398.88. This increase was quite abnormal compared with that of any other religious body. The proportion which members of this body bore to the total population was 1.02 per cent., a proportion 0.77 greater than in the year above mentioned.

A few other sects are included in the foregoing statement, the particulars respecting which I give in a tabular form :—

Name.Number of persons returned.Numerical Increase* or Decrease† since last Census.Increase* or Decrease† per cent.Proportion to Population.Increase* or Decrease† in Population.

United Methodist Free Church572† 49† 7.890.150.04

It will be observed from the foregoing that the religious communities which are included under " Other Christian Sects " have proportionately decreased 0.04 since the last Census ; similarly " Other Protestants " have decreased in proportion 0.22 per cent. ; but those included under " Other Religions," have increased 0.13 per cent. The name of each sect included under the title of " Other Christian Sects," together with the number of persons, males and females, which belong to each, will be found in Table CLVIII., page 442 in the Appendix. The sects included in that Table which have the greatest number of adherents are the " Church of Christ, " numbering 1,068 persons, consisting of 543 males and 525 females ; " Christians " (so returned), which number 415 persons, including 300 males and 145 females ; the " Bible Christians, " in which 371 persons were included, comprising 196 males and 175 females ; the " Christadelphians, " numbering 348 persons, including 181 males and 167 females ; the " Christian Brethren, " of whom 347 were returned, including 178 males and 169 females ; and " The New Jerusalem Church," comprising 130 members, composed of 66 males and 64 females. None of the other religious bodies included under " Other Christian Sects," and set out in the Table above mentioned, contained even 100 adherents. The religious belief of persons included in the statement referred to under the designation of " Other Protestants," is given in the Table above mentioned. Those which are of the greatest numerical importance are as under :—" Protestants " (undefined), so returned, numbered 1,807 persons—1,187 males and 620 females. " The Catholic and Apostolic Church " numbered 309 persons, consisting of 169 males and 140 females. " The Plymouth Brethren, " 205 persons—96 males and 109 females. " Quakers," or Society of Friends, 194 persons—111 males and 83 females ; and " The Apostolic Church, " a body whose members were all resident in the districts of West Moreton, Stanley, Logan, and Oxley, returned 172 members—77 males and 95 females. None of the other bodies included under the head of " Other Protestants " had even 100 members. The various kinds of belief included in the statement under the head of " Other Religions " will be found specifically named in the same Table CLVIII., at page 444. in the Appendix. Amongst the beliefs thus mentioned the following are those in which the greater number of followers were returned :—" Buddhists, " 551 persons— 533 males and 18 females ; " Brethren, " 297 persons—156 males and 141 females ; " Unitarians, " 280 persons—191 males and 89 females. None of the other beliefs mentioned in the Table as " Other Religions" contained numbers even approximating to 100 persons.

A period of thirty years having lapsed between the first Census taken in this Colony and the Census of 1891, it may not be uninteresting to note the progress made by each church in this Colony, both numerically and centesimally, during that period. Those who wish for detailed information on this subject will find it in Table CLVI., page 438 in the Appendix ; but I think it sufficient to give the following centesimal increases in membership in some of the principal churches referred to in that Table :—The Church of England increased 962.34 per cent. in thirty years ; the Church of Rome increased 1,108.51 per cent. in thirty years ; the Presbyterian Church increased 1,133.49 per cent. in thirty years ; the Congregational and Independent Church increased 1,124.43 per cent. in thirty years ; the Hebrew Church increased 1,551.02 per cent. in thirty years. The above are the only churches for which specific returns were prepared in 1861, so that the percentage

increase cannot be given for other churches during the period mentioned. At future Census periods, however, the list of churches was extended, and separate information was tabulated respecting them, so that particulars of the centesimal increase in each for shorter periods than thirty years can be given.

The Baptist Church increased 391.19 per cent. in twenty-three years ; the Lutheran Church increased 268.70 per cent. in twenty-three years ; the Primitive Methodist Church increased 177.42 per cent. in ten years ; and the United Methodist Free Church increased 79.31 per cent. in ten years.

For a long period at each Census enumeration in this Colony the members of the Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists Churches were tabulated together, and it was only at the Census of 1886 they were separated. Since then the Wesleyan Church has increased 19.52 per cent. in five years ; the Methodist Church has increased 5.56 per cent. in five years ; and the Salvation Army has increased 398.88 per cent. in five years.

Having so far dealt with the churches which contain professing Christians or those persons who acknowledge the Deity, I now turn to that portion of the community who are either idolaters, infidels, or who state that they have no religion. In addition to the above, must be included those who from conscientious scruples, or otherwise, object to state their religion. The following return gives some information on this subject :—

Census Year.Mahomedans and Pagans.No Religion.Object to State.Religious Persuasion Unspecified.

Percentage of each of the above divisions to Total Population.
18914.431.350.680.47
18866.640.740.000.62

From the above it will be seen that there were 17,434 Mahomedans or Pagans amongst the population in 1891, this number being a decrease of 4,013 on that exhibited by the returns of 1886. The centesimal proportion of decrease since that period was 18.71, and the proportion which such people bear to the total population was 4.43. Those who stated that they had no religion numbered 5,329 persons, being an increase of 2,926 persons since the previous Census. The proportion of increase since that period was 121.76 per cent., and the proportion to the total population was 1.35, a centesimal increase of 0.61 since 1886. It is apparent, upon reference being made to Table CLVIII., that amongst those who professed to be of no religion, 4,134 persons declared themselves to be freethinkers, of whom 3,433 were males and 701 were females. This was an increase of no less than 2,630 persons since the last Census, comprising 2,236 males and 394 females. Amongst the agnostics there was also a small increase of 71 persons, comprising 66 males and 5 females. Of those who objected to state their religion, as before mentioned, there were 2,665 persons, the increase since the previous Census being 2,653, the proportionate increase being 22,108.33. The proportion to the total population was 0.68. The instances in which persons neglected to state the religious persuasion to which they belonged numbered 1,846, a numerical decrease of 167 on similar omissions at the previous Census. The centesimal proportion of such omissions since the period mentioned was 8.29, and the proportion to the total population was 0.47, a decrease of 0.15 per cent. since the returns of the Census of 1886 were compiled.

A statement has been prepared, and is appended, which shows the religious professions of persons of all alien races included in the population :—

This shows that amongst the Chinese portion of the population, of those who were Christians 285 persons—256 males and 29 females—belonged to the Church of England ; 45 persons, being all males, belonged to the Church of Rome ; 12 persons—11 males and 1 female—belonged to the Presbyterian Church ; 5 persons, all males, belonged to the Wesleyan Church ; 2 persons, being 2 males, belonged to the Congregational and Independent Church ; 8 males were Primitive Methodists, 4 males belonged to the Salvation Army, and 3 males belonged to other Protestant or other Christian sects. In addition to the foregoing, 362 professed to belong to other religions, and 7,848 persons, as tabulated Table CLX. in Appendix, 4 returned themselves as of no religion, and 7,844 persons—viz., 7,827 males and 17 females, were returned as Mahomedans and Pagans.

Relative to the Polynesian portion of the population, it will be observed from the statement referred to that of those who professed to belong to Christian sects 650 persons—namely, 586 males and 64 females, belonged to the Church of England ; 55 persons—51 males and 4 females—belonged to the Church of Rome ; 94 persons—80 males and 14 females—belonged to the Presbyterian Church ; 75 persons—61 males and 14 females—belonged to the Congregational and Independent Church ; 20 persons—17 males and 3 females—belonged to the Primitive Methodist Church ; 2 males belonged to the Methodist Church ; 3 males to the Lutheran Church ; 5 males to the Salvation Army ; and 215 to other Protestants and other Christian sects, as specified in Table CLVIII. in the Appendix.

The balance of persons of the Polynesian race were thus returned :—2males as of no religion ; 3 males as of other religions, as specified in the Table above alluded to ; 5 omitted to specify what religion they were of ; and 8,199 persons of that race, consisting of 7,490 males and 709 females, were returned as being Mahomedans or Pagans.

Persons of other alien races included in the population were thus classified :—Of those who professed to belong to Christian sects, 45 persons—namely, 41 males and 4 females, belonged to the Church of England ; 260 persons—243 males and 17 females—were members of the Church of Rome ; 1 male belonged to the Presbyterian Church ; 5 males to the Wesleyan Church ; 1 male to the Lutheran Church ; 2 males to the Salvation Army ; and 4 males and 1 female to the other Christian sects specified in the Table in the Appendix to which reference has been previously made. Of the other persons included in the division, 2 males did not particularise their religion ; 9 males stated that they were of no religion ; 6 males objected to state their religion ; and 1,277 males and 87 females were classed as Mahomedans and Pagans.

The Tables in the Appendix which refer to this section of inquiry are as follow :—Table CLVI. shows the number of persons belonging to each religious denomination, &c., at each Census period from 1861 to 1891, inclusive. Table CLVII. shows the number returned as belonging to each denomination and in each

Census district in the Colony. Table CLVIII. shows the names of the sects included under the headings " Other Protestant, " " Other Christian Sects, " " Other Religions, " and those of no religion, the number of persons, &c., belonging to the sects specified, and the number of each sect living in each Census district in the Colony. Table CLIX. shows the proportion per cent. the members in each of the religious denominations bear to the total persons enumerated at the Census periods, 1861 to 1891, inclusive ; and Table CLX., CLXI., and CLXII. show the religious denominations, &c., under which the Chinese, Polynesians, and persons of other alien races were classified at the Census of 1891.

BIRTHPLACES OF THE PEOPLE.

When the compilations under this head of inquiry were being made in the Census Office, the birthplaces of the population, according to the returns received at the Census of 1891, were divided under the following leading heads—namely, the Australian Colonies, Great Britain, Countries in Europe, States in America, Asia, China, Japan, Africa, Other Countries Not Previously Named, At Sea, and Country of Birth not Specified. These heads were again subdivided, as shown in Table CLXVI., page 456 in the Appendix. The leading instruction to the clerks employed in extracting the information under this branch of inquiry from the schedules to the cards was, that they must be most particular in noting on the cards the exact name of the birthplace, as given in the schedules, opposite every individual included in the schedule. This instruction was carefully attended to, and out of a total of 393,718 persons forming the population of this Colony, the birthplaces of 393,345 persons has been ascertained.

It will be most convenient to consider the results under this head of inquiry under each of the divisions above mentioned, and I will therefore first take into consideration the persons included in the population who have returned themselves as Australian born. I have caused a statement to be prepared, given below, which shows the result obtained from the Census returns respecting those persons resident in Queensland who were born in Australasia :—

Queensland.New South Wales.Victoria.South Australia.Western Australia.New Zealand.Tasmania.Australasian Colony not named.
Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.Number.Per cent.

From the above the following particulars can be gathered :—Natives of this Colony numbered 176,971 persons, including 89,114 males and 87,857 females. The above formed 44.94 per cent. of the total population—the males 22.63 per cent., and the females 22.31 per cent. It will be observed that, although the number of native males exceeded the females born in this Colony by 1,257 persons, the proportion of each sex to total of the population was very nearly equal. Of persons born in New South Wales there were 17,023 included in the population of 1891, comprising 10,234 males and 6,789 females. The persons born in that Colony formed 4.32 per cent. of the population—the males 2.60 per cent., and the females 1.72 per cent. Persons born in Victoria numbered 7,462, the males being 4,907 and the females 2,555 ; and the percentage to the population was—persons 1.90, males, 1.25 and females 0.65. Referring now to South Australia, there were 1,449 persons born in that Colony included in the population—viz., 973 males and 476 females ; and the proportion the above bear to the total population is 0.37 persons—0.25 males and 0.12 females. Persons born in Western Australia are the least numerous in the population of any of those born in the Australian Colonies ; the persons were only 63—the males 48, and the females 15. The proportion the above bore to the total population was 0.02 persons, males 0.01, the proportion of the females not being apparent in three places of decimals. Of persons born in New Zealand there were 1,117, the males being 705 and the females 412 ; and the proportion they bore to the total population was—persons 0.28, males 0.18, and females 0.10. Of Tasmanian-born people there were 1,004 in the population, the males 673 and the females 331. The percentage they bore to the population was—persons 0.26, the males 0.17, and the females 0.09. Amongst the returns given at the Census, 218 persons described

their birthplace as in Australia, without specifying the particular Colony ; of these, 118 were males, and 100 were females. The proportion they bore to the total population was 0.06 persons—males 0.03, and females 0.03. The total number of persons born in Australia (omitting natives of this Colony) who composed part of the population was 7.19 per cent. The whole Australian-born, in addition to those born in Queensland, included in the population, formed 52.14 per cent. From this it is shown that there are more than half the population of this Colony who owe their birthplace to some part of Australasia.

In order to compare the result of the Census of 1891 in this respect with the last Census of 1886, the following statement is given :—

Queensland.New South Wales.Victoria.South Australia.Western Australia.New Zealand.Tasmania.Australasia (colony not stated).
Number of Persons.Number of Persons.Number of Persons.Number of Persons.Number of Persons.Number of Persons.Number of Persons.Number of Persons.

Census of 1891176,97117,0237,4621,449631,1171,004218
Increase in 189152,8972,73289321313417155
Decrease in 189157

From this it will be observed that there is an increase of 52,897 persons born in Queensland since that period, and also the following increases in persons born in some of the other Australian Colonies, viz. :—New South Wales, 2,732 persons ; Victoria, 893 persons ; South Australia, 213 persons ; Western Australia, 13 persons ; New Zealand, 417 persons ; Tasmania, 155 persons ; and in places in Australia not specified there was a decrease of 57. This shows that the Australian-born inhabitants of Queensland increased by 57,320 persons, less the decrease of 57 above mentioned, giving a net increase of 57,263 persons since the Census of 1886, the centesimal increase in the period on the Australian-born portion of the population having been 38.68.

The next great head under which the birthplaces are classified is " Great Britain. " This is subdivided into the following sub-heads :—England, Scotland, and Ireland, Other British Possessions, and British Subjects, birthplace not stated. The number returned as having been born in each of the divisions mentioned is as under :—

England Wales.Scotland.Ireland.Other British Possessions.British Subjects—Birthplace not stated.
Males45,78113,51022,30546619
Females31,4068,89020,7311352
Persons77,18722,40043,03660121

From this it is apparent that the greatest number of persons in the population of Queensland who claim the British Isles for their birthplace came from England—namely, 77,187 persons ; the next largest proportion came from Ireland—namely, 43,036 ; and 22,400 came from Scotland.

The proportion of each in the total population is as under :—

England and Wales, 19.60 per cent. ; Ireland, 10.93 per cent. ; Scotland, 5.69 per cent. ; persons claiming other British possessions as their birthplace, and British subjects whose exact birthplace was not stated, form an insignificant portion of the population, the proportion being 0.15 and 0.01 per cent. respectively.

The increase in the number of persons who were born in the British Isles, included in the population since the last Census was taken, was as under :—

Males.Females.Persons.
England5,8505,32211,172
Ireland4662,1692,635
Scotland1,0851,3712,456

This shows that by far the largest increase was in English-born people. The increase in Irish people came next ; but it will be observed that the increase was almost wholly amongst the females, the males only forming about one-fifth of the number. The increase in Scotland-born people was somewhat less than that of the Irish-born people, but the proportion of the sexes was more equal.

The increase above referred to was much less than that between the Census periods, 1881 to 1886, as will be seen from the following statement :—

Numerical Increase between—ENGLAND AND WALES.SCOTLAND.IRELAND.

Census of 1886 to Census of 18915,8505,32211,1721,0851,3712,4564662,1692,635

A return showing the proportion of the people born as above in each Census population since 1861 is appended :—

English People.Scotch People.Irish People.

Census period, 189119.60 per cent.5.69 per cent.10.93 per cent.

This proves that since the Census of 1886, in addition to the numerical decrease shown above, the proportion of people born in the countries named, in the population of this Colony, has decreased to some extent.

The next great head under which the birthplaces of the people are classified is " Europe, " with respect to which the subjoined statement will give some information :—

France.Germany.Italy.Austria.Belgium.Denmark.Sweden and Norway.Netherlands.Russia.Spain.Portugal.Other Countries in Europe.
Males3098,700379174321,9561,491502073724496

Persons40014,910438231353,0711,955592355025676

The greatest number of persons mentioned in the above statement claim to have been born in Germany—namely, 14,910. The proportion of persons of this nationality in the population of Queensland at the Census of 1891 was 3.79 per cent. The numerical increase since the Census of 1886 was only 678 persons. The next in numerical importance are the people born in Denmark, who numbered 3,071. The proportion of such people to the total population was 0.78 per cent., and the numerical increase since the last Census was 182. Of persons who claim to have been born in Sweden and Norway there were 1,955 in the population. The centesimal proportion of such people to the total population was 0.50 per cent. Since last Census there has been a decrease in the number of these people in the Colony of 832 persons. The following particulars relative to other countries named in the above statement are given in tabular form :—

Number of Persons.Proportion per cent. to Total Population.Numerical Increase* or Decrease†since last Census.
France4000.10*21
Italy4380.11*116

Netherlands590.02*1
Russia2350.07*156
Spain500.02*4
Portugal250.01*1
Other Countries in Europe6760.17†189

It will be observed that the greatest increase in this Colony connected with people of the nationalities mentioned above was amongst those born in Russia, the increase during the period having been 156. Those born in Italy also increased by 116 persons.

The next heading under which the birthplaces of the people are grouped is " America. " Of persons born on that Continent, 381 claim Canada as their birthplace. The United States of America was claimed by 427 persons as the land of their nativity, and 611 persons stated that they were born in other States in America. The Canadian-born people formed 0.10 per cent. of the total population of this Colony, being a decrease in the proportion of 0.02 per cent. since last Census. Persons born in the United States formed 0.11 per cent. of the population, being a decrease of 0.03 per cent. since 1886 ; and persons born in other States in America formed 0.15 per cent. of the population, a proportion exactly equal to that at the last Census. Of those under the heading " Other States in America, " 496 gave their birthplace as " America, " without stating the part they were born in ; 20 were born in North America, 38 in South America, 6 in the Argentine Republic, 11 in Brazil, 18 in Chili, 14 in Mexico, 1 in Panama, 1 in Paraguay, 5 in Peru, and 1 in Santa Cruz.

The next heading under which the birthplaces of the people are grouped is Asia. Those born in India of white parents numbered 552, and formed 0.14 per cent. of the population of this Colony. Those born as natives were 425, and formed 0.11 per cent. of the population. Those born in China of white parents were 32, forming 0.01 per cent. of the population ; and those who were born as natives were 8,522, and formed 2.16 per cent. of the population. Those who were born as natives of Japan numbered 49, and formed 0.02 of the population. Persons born in " Other Countries in Asia " numbered 137, and formed 0.03 of the population of those included under that heading ; 20 were born in Arabia, 3 in Armenia, 17 in Afghanistan, 5 in Beloochistan, 1 in Guam, 31 in Manilla, 6 in Palestine, 2 in Persia, 1 in Pondicherry, 7 in the Phillipine Islands, 4 in Siam, 30 in Syria, 6 in Turkey in Asia, and 4 in Asia, undefined.

The next heading under which the birthplaces of the population is divided is " Africa. " The number of persons born on that Continent was 226, and they formed 0.06 per cent. of the population. Of persons born on that Continent, 110 were born at the Cape of Good Hope, 3 at Zanzibar, and 113 in " Other Parts of Africa " ; under the latter heading were included 2 born in Abyssinia, 1 in Algiers, 2 in Azores, 2 in Bourbon, 1 in the Canary Isles, 12 at Cape de Verde, 18 in Egypt, 2 in Madeira, 1 in Madagascar, 1 in Natal, 1 in Orange Free State, 3 in Reunion, 1 in Swaziland, and 66 in Africa, undefined.

The next heading under which the birthplaces of the population are divided is " Other Countries. " Included under this heading are Polynesia, Malay Peninsula, and Archipelago, and other countries not previously named. Of those born in Polynesia, there were 95 persons born of white parents, and 9,243 were native born. The latter formed a proportion of 2.36 per cent. of the population. With respect to persons included under the heading " Other Countries not Previously Named, " there were only 5, 1 of whom was born in the Sandwich Island, 2 in the Spanish West Indies, and 2 at Cebu.

The last heading refers to persons born at sea ; of these the British subjects numbered 807, and formed 0.21 per cent. of the population ; and of those who were foreign subjects there were 25.

The number of instances in which the birthplace of individuals could not be ascertained was 373, being in the small proportion of 0.09 to the total population recorded. This result must be considered satisfactory, as another instance of the careful manner in which the Householders' Schedules were filled up at the Census of 1891. Comparing the last-mentioned result with that of the Census of 1886, proves that the proportion of unspecified birthplaces was 0.07 per cent. less that at that enumeration.

The Tables in the Appendix which contain information relative to the birthplaces of the population are as follow :—Table CLXIII., which shows a comparison of the number of persons born in each country as grouped at the Census enumerations of 1861 to 1891, inclusive, and the increase or decrease ; CLXIV., which is also a comparative one, shows the result on this subject at the Censuses of 1861 to 1891,

inclusive, grouped as at the Census of 1891 ; Table CLXV., which shows the proportion of each nationality in the population in each of the Census periods mentioned ; Table CLXVI., which shows the birthplaces of the people as enumerated in each Census district ; and Table CLVII., which shows the specific name of the birthplaces of the population which are grouped under certain heads in the general Tables.

SICKNESS AND INFIRMITY.

Notwithstanding that the column with the above heading in the new form of Householders' Schedules issued at the Census of 1891 invited returns as to persons suffering from various causes, such as blindness, insanity, idiocy, paralysis, epilepsy, and loss of limbs or deformity, in addition to ordinary sickness or accident, the response on the part of the population was not of much use in a statistical point of view. Whether, as a rule, people were averse to making returns of this kind in the schedules, and thus exposing a skeleton in the closet, or whether there was such an absence of complaints of the kind in the Colony, as the returns would lead one to believe, cannot be ascertained ; but the fact remains that, with the exception of the usual return of " sick," " accident," a few blind, as the case might be, there were no other ailments mentioned in the schedules.

The result of all the returns given in the Householders' schedules as to sickness, accident, deaf-mutism, and blindness will be found in the subjoined Statement.

2,0459242,96967610177710252154138611992,9611,1384,099

This shows that of the whole 4,099 persons mentioned as suffering from some of the causes above mentioned, 2,969 persons, composed of 2,045 males and 924 females, were returned as " sick " on the night the Census was taken, none of the ailments from which they were suffering having been specified. It also shows that 777 persons, consisting of 676 males and 101 females, were laid up from accident of some kind, and that amongst the population there were 154 who were deaf and dumb, of whom 102 were males and 52 were females. The number of persons returned as blind was 199, being 138 males and 61 females. The statement is made out so as to show the number of persons, both males and females, in each Census district who were suffering from some of the causes above specified. The greatest number was in the Brisbane district, where there were 740 persons, consisting of 466 males and 274 females. The next in numerical importance is in the district of East Moreton, in which there were 672 persons, being 575 males and 97 females. This is the district in which the Dunwich Asylum for old, infirm, and destitute people is situated, so that no doubt a great many of the sufferers included in the number for the district were returned from that establishment. The above are the greatest numbers returned in any of the Census districts, the others not showing anything like the proportion mentioned above.

Table No. CLXVIII. in the Appendix includes persons who were suffering from sickness or accident in private houses, or houses used as private hospitals, and in the public hospitals. The total number of persons treated in all the establishments referred to was 3,195, consisting of 2,240 males and 955 females ; of these 2,235 were treated in private houses or houses used as private hospitals, and 960 were treated in the public hospitals.

Referring to the statement given below, the proportion which the sick and incapacitated persons mentioned therein form to the whole population is 1.04 per cent., and the proportion of those suffering from each cause is sickness 0.75 per cent., accident 0.20, deaf and dumb 0.04, per cent., blind 0.05 per cent. Comparing the above result with that shown by the Census of 1886, so far as accident and sickness are concerned, it will be found that the proportion of those sick increased 0.11 per cent. and those suffering from accident increased also 0.11 per cent. in 1891. The following statement shows the number of cases of sickness and accident, of those deaf and dumb and of blindness in the three great divisions of the Colony and also the proportion that each class of affliction bears to the total population of each division and of the Colony :—

Division.Population.Number of Cases of Sickness.Proportion per Cent.Number of Cases Accident.Proportion per Cent.Number of Deaf and Dumb.Proportion per Cent.Number of Blind.Proportion per Cent.
Northern Division78,0774780.611680.22240.03130.02
Central Division46,8573810.811060.23200.04180.04

Totals393,7182,9690.757770.201540.041990.05

The proportion that the total persons afflicted in the manner mentioned in the statement bear to the total population of the Colony is 1.04 per cent. against 0.73 per cent. at the census of 1886, an increase of 0.31 in 1891. Taking the second column of the above statement it will be seen that of those returned as sick the Northern division had the least proportion, the Central division the largest proportion, being above that for the whole Colony, and the Southern a proportion of 0.18 per cent. above that in the Northern division, but less than the Central division by 0.02 per cent. The proportion of those suffering from accident was slightly more in the Northern division than in the Southern ; in the Central division, the proportion was the highest, being 0.01 per cent. more than in the Northern division, and somewhat higher than in the Southern division.

The proportion of deaf and dumb was least in the Northern division and highest in the Central division. The proportion of the blind was highest in the

Southern division, and very low in the Northern division. The number of each sex in each division afflicted in the various ways mentioned in the Statement above given will be seen from the following :—

The above returns show that there were twice as many males afflicted in the various forms mentioned as there were females. That there were also more than six times as many men suffering from accidents as there were women. There were nearly twice as many males deaf and dumb as there were females, and there were also more than twice as many males blind as there were females.

COST OF THE CENSUS.

I have reserved my remarks on this subject until the last in order if possible to obtain vouchers for all claims against the Census of 1891, that I might be in a position to state definitely the exact amount the Enumeration cost. Unfortunately I have not been able to quite accomplish that object, as there is still a balance due for printing, the amount of which cannot be ascertained until after this Report is put through the Press. The amount referred to will not, it is anticipated, exceed the sum of three or four hundred pounds. The total amount dispensed on account of the Census, for all purposes up to the time of writing this Report, was £19,929 13s. 9d., being £1,071 3s. 11d. under the amount expended on the Census of 1886. As previously stated, the cost of part of the printing has yet to be added to above amount ; notwithstanding which the cost of the Census of 1891 will be under that of the previous one by at least six or seven hundred pounds. This result must be considered as satisfactory, as the saving mentioned has been effected notwithstanding that the proportion of the population enumerated increased by 21.95 per cent. since 1886. The saving above mentioned was not achieved without considerable trouble, but the means adopted from the very commencement to curtail expenses in every branch of the work were ultimately successful, as is evident from the comparison above given. I am glad to be in a position to report that I had none of the trouble experienced in 1881 in settling exorbitant claims sent in by collectors. The men were paid by time, and the diaries mentioned at an early part of this Report showed exactly what work each man accomplished. Another safeguard against disputes was the Memorandum of Agreement which each collector had to sign on his appointment, which contained a provision that in case any difference arose between the Enumerator and the Collector as to the amount the latter was entitled to receive, the Registrar-General was to be the sole arbitrator in the matter, and his decision was to be final. That agreement contained a further provision that his payment should be subject to the Registrar-General's approval of his work as described in his diaries and route-marked maps. These provisions were found very useful, and consequently no difficulty arose in settling the amount due to collectors. In addition to the precautions thus taken, the enumerators were required to certify whether they thought the distances travelled by their collectors and the time expended by them was, or was not, fair and reasonable. I do not think a better system than the one referred to could have been devised in connection with this matter, as it prevented disputes of the nature experienced in 1881.

I now supply a statement which contains a comparative view of the cost of the Census of 1891 and 1886 respectively :—

Census Year.Cost of Enumeration and Collection.Cost of Compilation.Stationery, including Paper for Printing, Collection, and Compilation Forms.Cost of Printing.Cost of Office Accomodation, Furniture, and Contingencies.TOTAL COST.

Less Increase as above1,071311
[§§ Including cost of type.]

This shows that in 1891 there was a decrease under all the above heads except in the cost of compilation, which exceeded that of 1886 by £1,792 11s. 4d.

With respect to the cost of enumeration and collection the enumerators were paid a fixed fee, in addition to which they had an allowance at per 1,000 of the population enumerated by them, but that rate decreased relatively to every 1,000 persons counted in each District after the first 1,000.

The Collectors were paid so much per diem, a different rate of pay having been given to men on foot compared with those on horseback. In some districts, where horsemen had to travel long distances through lonesome country, the rate paid was very high. This daily payment was checked in the manner previously described, which appeared to answer the purpose admirably. As shown in the statement given above, the expense of compilation exceeded that of the Census of 1886 by the sum mentioned, but as there was an increase in the population of 70,685 persons in 1891, which necessitated much more work of the kind referred to, the additional expense under this head was to be expected. The clerks employed in extracting information from the Schedules to the cards were paid by results. Accurate copyists and quick writers earned a satisfactory amount, but the slower hands had to put up with less pay. The remuneration for sorting and tabulating the cards was also by results at per 1,000 cards, two persons working together at each frame and halving what they earned. The checking of the cards in the first place and afterwards of the Tables was entrusted only to the most experienced and able officers, and they were paid at so much per diem. The officers commenced work at 9 a.m., had half-an-hour for luncheon, and then worked till 6 p.m. They then had an interval until 6.30, and worked from that time to 9.30 p.m. The officers who were paid at per diem were allowed so much for overtime at per hour after 4 p.m. To those not well acquainted with the minutiae of such work it would be difficult to explain the care, attention, and unremitting diligence required on part of the Superintendent and his more immediate staff all through the period of tabulation, but fortunately all the officers mentioned took the greatest interest in the work, and notwithstanding the very laborious nature of their engagements and the long hours they were employed each day it was carried to a successful conclusion within a very reasonable time. I was fortunate in having, exclusive of the Superintendent, a number of gentlemen who had been employed at previous census compilations in the Colony ; they were consequently quite familiar with the work, and assisted to teach those who were new to it. Owing to this circumstance the card system went on swimmingly, and there were none of the difficulties to contend with in connection with this matter which were experienced in 1886 when that system was brought into operation here for the first time.

The cards used in compilation at the late Census are now carefully put away in a systematic manner, so that, should any additional information or special return connected with the Census be required by the Government or by Parliament on any

subject which has not been included in the Appendix to the Report, they can be made use of for that purpose. It is only a question of the expense of tabulation to have the return prepared if the information sought can be obtained from the particulars extracted on the cards.

The item for stationery may appear high, but the work of the Census went on so expeditiously in 1886 in consequence of having the schedules and tabulating sheets prepared on paper of a much better kind than that hitherto used for that purpose, I obtained the sanction of the Government to purchase a quantity of the kind of paper mentioned for printing purposes. It may have been a little more expensive, but I believe the time saved in tabulation paid twice over the extra cost of the paper. The cardboard necessary for the cards, of which a large quantity of special colours had to be procured, also added considerably to the expense under the above head.

The printing is the next item. As previously stated I am not in a position at present to give the total cost, but a sum of £936 11s. 3d. has already been paid for this service, and I anticipate that there may be £300 or £400 yet to pay. The item of type purchased does not appear in the expenses of the Census of 1891.

OFFICE ACCOMMODATION, FURNITURE, AND CONTINGENCIES.—

The expenses under this head were less than at the Census of 1886. As it was impossible to accommodate such a large staff as that required for Census purposes in the department at present occupied by the Registrar-General and his officers, with the sanction of the Colonial Secretary I engaged suitable accommodation outside at a very reasonable rate. Having a good deal of the furniture stored which was used at the Census of 1886, the expense of the additional matters required was not very great. Under Contingencies is included Postage, Freight, &c., a very expensive item at Census time, as the packages going to and fro from the Registrar-General to the enumerators and others were heavy and expensive to send through post and otherwise.

With respect to the whole cost, as stated it is under that of the Census of 1886, and is only a little in excess of 12 pence per head of the population enumerated. This is 2¾d. per head less than the previous Census and 1¾d. less than the Census of 1881. In fact, I believe it to be the cheapest Census that has ever been taken in the Colony.

PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

The number of Public Institutions of all kinds in this Colony at the time of the Census was 102, consisting of the following :—

Hospitals58
Lunatic Asylums7
Prisons, including Reformatories22
Orphanages4
Benevolent Asylums9
Immigration Barracks2

The number of inmates of these public institutions (exclusive of officers and their families) was 4,329, consisting of 3,025 males and 1,304 females.

The officers connected with such institutions (inclusive of their families) numbered 701 persons, comprising 280 males and 421 females.

Comparing this result with that at the Census of 1886, it is ascertained that there was an increase in the number of inmates returned in 1891 of 805 persons, including 530 males and 275 females ; and the officers and their families connected with such institutions were less than those returned in 1891 by 75 persons—namely, 3 males and 72 females.

When taking this subject into consideration, I will first notice those institutions which are maintained for the relief of the sick, and for insane or destitute persons, and then those which are established for the reformation and punishment of criminals.

Amongst the most important of the first class of institutions are—

HOSPITALS.—

Of these, as above stated there, were 58 in existence when the Census was taken, the inmates of which numbered 980 persons, of whom 690 were males and 270 were females. The proportion of the total of such sick and ailing folk to the total population of the Colony was 0.24 per cent. The number of officers employed in the hospitals and their families was 378, including 132 males and 246 females. Comparing this with a similar return compiled at the Census of 1886, it shows there was an increase in the number of hospitals of 16 ; in the inmates of the hospitals, of 81 persons—18 males and 63 females ; and the number of officers and their families increased by 83 persons ; the females increased by 86, and the males decreased by 3.

The next class of institutions to which I will refer are those maintained for the treatment and custody of the insane.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS AND RECEPTION HOUSES.—

There were seven such institutions in the Colony in 1891, the inmates of which numbered 1,104, consisting of 700 males and 404 females. The proportion the insane bore to the total population was 0.28 per cent. The number of officers employed in these institutions, including their families, was 59, being 29 males and 30 females. From a similar return prepared in 1886, it is found that the number of such institutions increase by four, the inmates by 337 persons—namely, 227 males and 110 females, and the number of officers and their families by 15 persons, all of whom were females.

ORPHANAGES.—

At the time of the Census there were four in the Colony, the inmates of which numbered 692 persons, composed of 340 males and 352 females. The proportion of the total of the above to the population of the Colony was 0.18 per cent. Attached to these institutions were 67 officers and their families, consisting of 3 males and 64 females.

In consequence of the orphanages and benevolent asylums having been included in one in the return prepared in 1886, it is not possible to institute a comparison with the particulars given above.

BENEVOLENT ASYLUMS.—

There were nine of these in existence in 1891, situated in different parts of the Colony, in which 852 persons were maintained, consisting of 644 males and 208 females, and their proportion to the population was 0.22 per cent. The number of officers employed in them, including their families, were 50, being 18 males and 32 females. For the reason above given, no comparison between this return and that of 1886 can be made.

IMMIGRATION BARRACKS.—

The institutions thus named are provided for housing immigrants brought to the Colony by the Government, on their first arrival in Queensland. There were two such barracks in existence in 1891. At the time the Census was taken there were only 48 persons residing in them, consisting of 47 males and 1 female ; 3 officers were in charge at that time—namely, 2 males and 1 female.

The next class of institutions to which I will refer are—

PRISONS AND REFORMATORIES.—

There were 22 such institutions in 1891. The number of inmates under imprisonment was 673—namely, 604 males and 69 females, the proportion of which to the population was 0.17 per cent. The number of officers employed in the superintendence of the above (including officers' families) was 144, composed of 96 males and 48 females. Comparing this with a similar return prepared in 1886, it has been ascertained that the number of prisoners in 1891 only exceeded those that were in custody at that time by 9 persons ; the number of males was greater by 26, but the females were 17 less.

The locality where the above mentioned hospitals, charitable institutions, and prisons are situated, as also the name of each institution, is given in Table CLXX. in the Appendix. In that Table will also be found the total number of persons, males and females, returned as inmates, inclusive and exclusive of the number of officers and their families attached to each institution.

The Tables in the Appendix which refer to this subject are Table CLXIX., which gives a summary of the number of persons in, and employed in, public institutions, and Table CLXX., the contents of which have been previously described.

PRISONERS.—

When dealing with the subject of the occupation of the people I there described the previous occupations in which persons were engaged previous to their incarceration, vide pp. xlvii. to 1. It is not therefore necessary that I should further allude to that subject in this part of my Report.

The total number of prisoners, as before stated, was 673, consisting of 604 males and 69 females. The localities in which the above were confined are given below :—

This return shows the disposal of the 673 persons in custody on the night the Census was taken. Of course many of those confined in the lockups might have been only drunkards or persons in custody for trivial offences, but I have no means of judging from the returns how far this was the case.

The subjoined return shows the religious professions, &c., of the prisoners mentioned above :—

Religious Profession.Males.Females.Persons.
Church of England22321244
Church of Rome18941230

57769646

From this it will be seen that the greatest number of prisoners professed to being members of the Church of England, namely, 244, consisting of 223 males and 21 females. The prisoners who professed to be Roman Catholics were the next in degree of numerical importance, numbering 230, composed of 189 males and 41 females. Those who were Mahomedans or Pagans numbered 41, and were all males ; and those who professed to be Presbyterians were 38, including 33 males and 5 females. Amongst the prisoners referred to, 36, all males, stated that they were of no religion.

The following statement shows the proportion which prisoners professing to belong to each of the above churches, &c., bore to each 1,000 of the population :—

Comparing the above return with a similar one published after the Census of 1886, it shows that the proportion of prisoners who professed to be members of the principal churches above mentioned, decreased very much since that period. The Table in the Appendix which gives information relative to previous occupation of prisoners is CLXXI. ; that Table also shows the Census District in which prisoners were incarcerated when the Census was collected.

PART II. IN THE APPENDIX.—

This part of the Appendix contains information of a mere formal nature, and deals almost exclusively with the boundaries of Census Districts and their subdivisions.

CONCLUSION.

Before concluding my Report I wish to mention that it has been prepared under very adverse circumstances. Owing to the large amount of sessional printing the Government Printer found it impossible to let me have the greater part of the Tables in the Appendix for the purpose of writing my Report until quite recently, and as I was very anxious to have it laid on the Table of the House before the Session was concluded, I had to work unremittingly for some weeks past to attain that object. Had I not done so the publication of the work would have been delayed for six or seven months. In consequence of the circumstances mentioned I was obliged to rush on with its preparation. Under such a state of affairs it can be readily imagined that I was quite unable to command the necessary time to elaborate my remarks relative to the several sections for consideration, and had, therefore, to content myself with making what suggested themselves to me as the most useful extracts, and to point out the most salient features connected with the Census from the materials at my command. I am conscious that the work might have been much better done had I more time at my disposal ; but I thought it best to be satisfied with giving, at the earliest moment possible, a general view of the information obtained at the enumeration of 1891, rather than delay the issue of the Volume for some time, thereby rendering it less useful to the public. The figures in the Report have been as carefully checked as the time at the disposal of my officers would permit, and I believe they will be found correct. It is, however, possible that some errors may have been overlooked, and if any are discovered I would esteem it a favour that they should be notified to me, so that they may be corrected by an errata. I sincerely hope that the result of my labour, which has not been by any means light, will be acceptable to statisticians and others who may require to refer to this Report, and that under the circumstances detailed I may be excused for any faults which may be observable in its compilation.

Having now brought the work of the Census of 1891 to a conclusion, I have only to express my warmest thanks to the Superintendent, Mr. R. B. Howard, for the manner in which he has assisted me throughout the work. In him I have a most hardworking officer who never spared himself for a moment through the long and arduous task he had undertaken. He was unremitting in his attention to his duties, and managed the staff under him in a manner which redounded to his credit. To the staff I have also to return my thanks, for the uniform care with which they carried out the extraction and compilation, and their willing attention to the instructions they received. Nor can I close my remarks without thanking the officers of the Survey Department for their kind assistance in supplying me with the maps necessary for preliminary work connected with the Census, and in pointing out those most suitable for the purpose. To the Government Printer I am much indebted for his ready assistance by which I am enabled to forward you this Report and Appendix to be placed on the Table of the House before the close of the session.

I have, &c.,

WILLIAM T. BLAKENEY,

Registrar-General.
