grants, natives of Inland, who left Irish
ports from May, 1852 (when the oolleo-
tion of return* commenced), to Decem
ber 81, 1900, was 8,841,419—2,003,844
males and 1,888,076 females. Thb popn
lation of Ireland by the census of 1891
was 4,706,448 and the census now under

tained its highest population in 1841,
When It was reported at 8,196,697. Last
year the Irish emigration was 46,288,
equal to 0.6 per 1000 of population.
These figures under careful study are
eloquent. There are almost as many
Irish abroad as there are at home. In

SAM J0RES AND THE ELKS.
The Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks is after the scalp of the Rever
end Sam Jones. The Cartersville
preacher's reference to the Elks in one
of his Waycros* sermons as "a lot .of
red-nosed buns" excited the righteous
wrath of the members of that order,
and they are denouncing him in nn-
sporing terms. The Savannah lodge
has adopted reeolntlons that, are
especially sharp and stinging, and not
calculated to tiokle the Reverend Sam's
bnmp of self esteem.
It is unfortunate that an institution
of the Elks' standing should feel com
pelled, in Its own defense, to reply to an
Individual of the Sam Jones stripe. It
would have been better had the Elks
treated the Jones attack with contempt,
even though his obarges were notori
ously false and vicious.
Sam {Jones depends for a livelihood
on the attention he can attract to him
self. And he oan only hold a place in
the publio eye by indnlglng in vituper
ation and obscenity of speeoh. None
escapes hia ever wagging tongne, and
those who favor him with a public re
ply are simply “playing into his hand.”
The ElkB, as an order, is above snspi-
oion, and oan very well afford to treat
Sam Jones with silent contempt,

Old man Russell Sage is alarmed over
the reokless speculation that is going on
in New York, and predicts n panio. He
says he would not be snprised to see
another "Blaok Friday” vory soon—a
blaoker one than that ol 1873 in which
great fortunes were; | swept away in
the twinkling of an eye. Mr. Sage's
pessimlstio prediction is based on the
present speculative craze, whloh, he de
clares, is baaed on “a false and UlnBive
foundation," tor, ho nrgnes, neither ex
isting nor fature conditions warrant the
skyward tendenoy of the market, and
the moment a level }s renohed there will
be reaction whloh will bring misery to
thousands. Snoh a panio as Mr. Sage
seems to fear may come, and it may
throw the whole country into a money
strlngbnoy for a time, bnt the Sonth
would be affeoted less by it than the
North. The Sonth coaid stand a panic
now better than ev.er before sinoo the
war, and within a few more years it
will be so onr banking institations will

canso of the negro not because they care
a rap for. the negro, bnt because they

newspapers has the same etfect on
Southern extremists that a red flag 1ms

hard.”

Gumming Unde Sam’s Stamps.
Align that spring is here and that
summer has almost arrived is fonhd in
the foot that the government has been
using summer "gum-stickam" on its
new-made postage stamps, says the
Washington correspondence of the
New York Post.
The uninitiated may be surprised to
learn that there is a winter and a sum
mer variety of mnoilage for snoh pur
poses ; bnt that is the oase. Naturally
the winter coating is heavier than that
worn in the summer, and the latter has
less of the ingredients influenced by hu
midity. The gumming bnsidesa, as car

Industry. At the Federal stamp actory
the maohines whioh lay the gnm upon
stamps tnm ont an average of 7,000
gammed sheets each a day, and the
total dally consumption of gnm is about
1,690 pounds. If the weather is warm
and dry a maohlne will work faster and
will turn out 7,600 sheets'; if ft happens
to be damp and muggy, only 0,600 will
be gummed.
It has been found that the amonnt. of
mucilage on any sheet does not vary
one seven-thousandth of a pound. At
the beginning of a day’s work a man
running a machine is allowed 175 pounds
of gnm, and if he 1b a ponnd short or
has a ponnd left oyer after gumming his
quota of sheets, he has to explain how
it happened. In the room where the
gnm machines work careful observa
tions are mado of both humidity and
temperature. If the air seems to be
getting too dry, a jet of steam is turned
on. On a damp day, if it is not too
warm, the windows are kept closed and
artificial heat is turned on, so that the

Row and Then.
From tho Atlanta Journal.
The Chicago Chronicle neatly exposes
the hypocrisy of those organs of sec
tional hate in the north whose chief aim
is to misrepresent everything that occurs
in the south and to pervert its signifi
cance. The Ohropicle says:
“A few years ago, when a Democratic
president was greeted at the south by
ex-Oonfederate soldiers carrying the
battle flags of the lo9t cause most of the
Republican organs saw nothing in tha
circumstance but the undying disloyalty
of the men who had once been in arms
against tho Federal government. Now
that Mr. McKinley receives similar wel
comes and even refers sentimentally to
the tattered emblems of revolt we are in
formed that it is all highly significant to
a reunited country. There were just as
many evidences of reunion and good
fellowship in Mr. Cleveland’s day as
there are at this time. The only change
is in the Bpirit of the partisan Republi
can commentators at the north,”
President McKinley is a gentleman
and a man of sense. He has never pre-
teuded to be alarmed at the display of a
Confederate flavin the sonth, and hjs
accepted most graciously the courtesies
which ex-Confederato veterans, wearing
tho gray and carrying the “Southern
Cross,” have extended to him. In fact,
President McKinley wore a Confederate
badge at the Peace Jubilee in Macon.
Let him be impeached at. once!
Tho New York Commercial says:
“In recent years Fate seems somehow
to have singled out tho cities of the
South for some of its most disastrous
visitations. But invariably they emerge
from their ruins stronger and more am
bitious than ever. Jacksonville will
prove.to be jjo exception. She had had
what seemed more than her share of
affliction before—but “yon can’t keep
good people down.” At* any rate, they
will learn two lessons from their fire—
not to be so lavish with “pitch pine” as
a building material, and to immediately
doable or treble their, water supply.
The new Jacksonville will be a city of
6tone, brick and iron.”

In Chicago there is only one moving

for a full year, beginning with that
date, so that moving day is widely ob
served May 1 is also the Chicago day
for spring housecleaning, and this, with
the movement of persons who live in
rented houses, makes domestic disturb
ance general. One result is the discov
ery by the medical profession of a new
malady which is called “the movipg dis
ease.” As the chief health officer ex
plained, the tearing up and shaking of
carpets and rugs set free millions of
germs and sent them flying about to be
breathed iu by the people. He affirms
that this is the cause o! an epidemic of
