THE IRISH MOVEMENT.

It is interesting at this distance of
time, says the New York Times, to note
the rise and progress of that Irish move
ment which has assumed such important
proportions. The bad harvest of 1889
famed into fierceness the flame of dis
content, and on June 8, 1879, meeting
was held in Mayo by some five thousand
men bearing banners inscribed: "The
Land for the People," "Down with
Jobbing Landlords" etc. Mr.. Parnell,
the principal speaker, advocated vigor-
GUS stand against landlords, and a aresolu-
tion was carried that "any landlord who
evicts tenant for non-payment of an
unfair rent is an enemy to the human
race, and pledge ourselves to protect by
every means in our power the victims of
such oppression" The Catholic clergy
showed no sympathy. On the contrary,
the ,octogenarian Roman Catholic Arch.
bishop of Tuam, with lifelong expert
ence Of Irish politics, condemned the
meeting in advance, as fomented by a
few designing men to promote their per-
sonal interests" and urged his clergy to
point out "that unhallowed combination
led invariably to disaster, and the firm
er riveting of the chains by which we are
unhappily bound as asubordinate people
to q dominant race.' On June 18th
another meeting was held, when yet
more violent speeches were made, at
Miltown, near where Lord Leitrim was
killed. In the fall Mr.. Parnell made an
agitation progress over the country to
organize the National Land League, and
at Tullow insisted that the government
should create a tribunal to determine
what were fair rents. On November 10.
1879, Messrs. Davitt, Killen and DAILY
were arrested for sedition. Mr.. Parnel
came to this country on an agitation
tour in the winter Of 1879 80. He was
feted at Cork on his return, when Mr..
Biggar, member Of parliament, said:
8 They had seen what Hartmann (the
Nihilist) had done in Russia, and he
thought Ireland might be able to pro-
duoe another Hartmann expecta-
tion entirely fulAlled in Phoenix Park
last month. In September Lord Mount
morres was murdered. Speaking At En-
mis-, in the same month, MI. Parnell
recommended that . man taking . farm

the rest Of the country, as il he were the

TERRITORY AND POPULATION.

According g to one of the latest bulle-
tins of the Census Bureau the land sur
face of the country, excluding the In
dian Territory and some unorganized
tracts, is 2,900,170 square miles. The
total population is set down at so, 1861
783. This gives for the whole country a
ratio of 1929 persons to the square mile.
A further analysis shows that the Dis
trict of Columbia has more inhabitants
to the square mile than any other por-
tion of the country. The figures are
2,96O.4O. Rhode Island comes next with
254.87. The second state on the list is
Massachusetts with 221.78; the third,
New Jersey, with ISL. 70; the fourth,
Connecticut, with 128. 80, and the fifth,
New York, with 106.74. Maryland and
Pennsylvania stand almost side by side,
the figures being respectively 1882 and
1921. Ohio is the next on the list with
ratio of 1916.
The table, says the New York Herald,
strikingly illustrates the growth and de-
velopment of the western states as COM
pared with those of the south: Alaba-
ma and Illinois, for instance, ere nearly
equal in extent, but the ratio of popula-
tion to the square mile in Alabama is
only 24.50. While in Illinois it stands
A.96. Again, Arkansas and Iowa con-
tain almost the same area. The percent
age of population in the former, how
ever, is only Is. 13, while in the latter it
1929, OF nearly double. This backward
ness in material growth aud development
is, of course, owing to the different So
cial and political conditions which OBJ
tanned in the past. The west had Eu-
rope and the eastto draw from, while the
south had to depend on herself alone.
More attention is now being given to
this question in the south, but it will re-
quire many years Of energetic work to
get anything like fair start in the race
where the south has been so badly
beaten

ANER1cA's MATERIAL PROGRESS.

An English essayist comedies that in
no other country has there been anything
like the rapid progress in inventions and
all that pertains TO material progress
that has been made in the United States
during the last half century. He says
that the Americans have profited by the
lessons which were taught them by the
producers of Europe; that many ideas
which had their inception in the old
world have been supplemented and i'm
proved upon by the quick-witted and in
genious Yankee, to say nothing of the
productions of purely American origin.
The world, he tells us, in indebted to
the genius of the people of the United
States for the electric Telegraph, a sci
ence which has brought the remote Sec
tions of the world into instant commune
cation; for the utilization of steam on
the ocean, the first vessel crossing the
Atlantic having been of American con-
struction; for the present monitor sys-
tenn of naval architecture, now employed
by the leading maritime nations of
Europe; for the sewing-machine, one of
the greatest labor-saving implements
ever constructed. and also for innumer-
able other inventions and improvements
in machinery employed on the farm, in
the factory, and in the workshop. Dur
ing the last quarter of century, in par
ticular, the American people have been
gradually emancipating themselves from
dependence upon the older nations for
a great variety of the necessaries of life,
till at length they are in position to
maintain successful competition with
them in some of the most important de-
partments of mechanical production,
while, as regards agriculture, the United
States stands pre-eminent.
