DEPoPULATION OF IRELAND The
Liverpool Co'o'ie,', of February 27,
publishes the following editorial ar
ticle on the British Postmaster-Ge
erals report on the decrease of Irish
population:
In Ireland, during the past year.
there has occurred decrease in the
number of inhabited houses to the
extent of 1921, and in the popnla
tion of "a, 846. There is every reason
to believe that the decrease will pro
ceed still more rapidly than before.
1t cannot be concealed that the Fe-
nlan conspiracy has afflicted already
All inconceivable amount of injury
upon all classes. Capitalists have
withdrawn their loans, or refused TO
extend that accommodation which
was the life of the Irish trader
Confidence is broken, especially
between landlord and tenant, and
little encouragement will be given by
any man to the location of peasant
ry who may combine to assassinate
their benefactor, and divide his estate
among themselves. If to this we add
that the Western States of America
are organizing an extensive plan Of
immigration, while it is proposed to
convert the Fenian machinery into a
means of bringing Irishmen to the
States, it may be anticipated that the
population of Ireland will continue
to diminish. even in greater ratio 4
than before.
The Irish, however. who remained
have been buster with the pen.
Whether it is that there has been an
increase in trade, commerce or litera-
~ intercourse with England and .
foreign nations, OF whatever else NAV
be the reason, it is clear that there has
been an addition of 100000 to the
number Of letters posted last year.
The total number, however, is only
81, 500, 900, while Scotland, with half
the population, posted 64, 26O, 900.
My CONCLUSION. Congress and
the President will never harmonic.
They will remain asunder and divided
even unto the end
1t is immaterial how this separa
ton is caused-the result is eaually
dangerous in its consequences to the
party in power. 1t may be charged,
on one side, that the President has
switched off the party track, and on
5he other hand, that Congress has
followed the lead OF these crazy radi-
Gals until they have run them into~A
The camp of the enemy-the disunion-
SITS. The fact remains-they are
separated. My own conclusion is,
hat Congress, under the lead of
hose old parliamentarian radicals,
las gone little too far and too fast,
md got away from both the President
md the people; that the President
las stood still since the day of his
election, and has failed to keep pace
With the progress of the people.
The President will use all the
power he has, i'll the way of patron
ge and influence, to bring men to
lis support, and will cnt off those
'ho are against him. For this he
annot be blamed. a new deal will
probably be made in the Cabinet.

HARLAN, it is alleged, is in intimate
