The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1873-10-17

The Irish exodus, although large
ly diminished in volume, seems to
be moro important in its compo-
nents, haYing now seized upon the
intelligent middle classes, most of
whom carry Off some capital with
them. There is more employment
in Ireland now for the laboring
classes, ut better wages, and consc-
qnently there is less tendency to
emigrate. But the prospects of the
middle classes have not been inn
proved by any of the reforms in
ireland. By depopulating villages
and substituting sheep-walks for
small farms, the custom o the local
tradesmen has been destroyed.
Then again experience has proven
that the great landholders are al
ways hostile to the small ones, and
annoy them in many ways. When
at length the small holdings are
sold the owners leave ireland for
ever, to seek better homes in Amer
lea. Thus though the Irish exodus
now brings US fewer laborers it
brings us n more advanced class of
Irish people, possessing education
aud experience in business, as well
as some capital with which to be-
gin life anew. No new element
lows into Ireland TO supply the
void created by the exodus. Indeed
the emigration has now been SO
long continued and so large that it
would require very large influx
to cause q reaction and increase
of the population. Aud although
the condition OF the country Is
vastly improved, it's industries are
comparatively few and the incen-
lives to develpement and progress
still fewer. In view of the English
exodus that has set in so remarks
bly, il may be assumed as certain
that England will be able to spare
no large part of her population to
occupy Ireland and Gil up the va
cant places.

Col. Scott has telegraphed his
success in negotiating forty-twO
out of the seventy million dollars
of the Southern Pacific loan. The
Pennsylvania stock tnmbled to
forty-two in London under the pan
ic. lie and his friends bought 1t in
at once. Under the action of that
corporation in anticipating notes
and interest, duly cabled to London
by President Thompson, the stock
went up over ten per cent. This
was n favorable and profitable
stroke for Scott, and greatly aided
his success.

successfully nominated as candi-
