AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. IN 1894.-From the edition of Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell x Co.'S American Newspaper Directory, now in press, it appears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds at present is- sued ill the United States and Canada reach a grand total of 13,042. This is 8 net gain of precisely 1,600 during the last twelve months, and exhibits an increase of 5,6l9 over the total number published just ten years since. The increase in 1874 over the total 1878 was 493. During the past year the dailies have increased from ,138 to ,254 the weeklies from 9,062 to 1O,- 028; and the monthlies from 1,O91 to l,499. The greatest increase is in the western states. Illinois, for instance, now shows 1,099 papers in place of last years total of 904, while Missouri issues GOA in stead of the 523 reported in 1883. Other leading western states also exhibit 8 great percentage of increase. The total number of papers in New York state is 1,523 against 1 ,399 in 1885, Canada has shared in the general increase. &sE -@t5s@-s

We beg to call the attention Of our rea.
derS to a statistical table which, with some
remarks thereon, has been furnished us by
the Reyd i. Y. Lose, showing the fearful
mortality among infants in Santa Cruz
during the years 18Sl-S2. The comments
Of our correspondent are so much to the
point that we scarcely need do more than
call attention to them. He asks where
are the nurseries There are, it is true,
a few estates on which nurseries have been
established, but the majority are without,
and why Frequently it is because the
proprietors consider that they are not Ger.
tain Of reaping the benefits Of any exertions
which they may make in this directi on.
they argue that the people are constantly
moving abOut and that those children
whom they assist in rearing may be taken
later to some other estate, which, although
perhaps not itself supporting a nursery,
will enjoy the advantage Of their services.
This mode of reasoning is, however, very
shortsighted, for if the majority or even a
large number of estates were to establish
nurseries there can be little doubt that
much loss of life would be prevented, and
this saving of life would lead to a better
condition of the labour market, by which
all would profit. We here leave out Of
view the higher humane aspect of the ques.
ton, in order to meet a fal,acious argu-
ment on its own ground. That properly
maraged nurseries would help in this
matter we have little doubt, for we have
it on the authority of the Kings Physician
that it is not always indifference on the
part of the parents which causes the loss
OF life, but very frequently ignorance as to
the proper way of feeding infants. They
are often fed on substances which cannot
afford proper nourishment, and this evil
can be corrected in a nursery where the
advice of the estates physician is available
and can be enforced. The Importance of
the subject cannot he exaggerated, and we
commend it to the most serious considera.
ton of all who nave any influence, be it
much CT little, that can be brought to,
bear upon it.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF 1T.

The great mass-mcetiug in New York
in which the Irish Americans of the
metropolis of America entered their pro-
test against the nomination Of Grover
Cleveland is bound to be productive of
far-rcaching results. For years the
Democratic party has been accustomed
look upon an Irsh-Amcrican as having
no right to vote any but the Democratic
ticket. Acting on this the Democracy
did not think itself under any obligation
to take Irish American sentiment into
consideration Over and over again has
it placed in nomination for State and
local offices men who we're known to BE-
anti Irish in their sentiments. The
nomination of Charles Francis Adams
for Governor of Massachusetts, is a e,se
in point What the Democracy Of
Massachusetts did in nominating Adams
has been done in a more or less insult
ing manner in every State in the Union
Democratic voters Of Irish extraction
rolled up Democratic majorities. This
was what was expected of them. Nc
matter who was the nominee or wb,t
was the platform, the lrish-Anericau
voter was given to understand that che
must, to use the words Of Senator Kor.

ranks of the Democracy"
Now, the Irish American mass. meot
ing in New York has served notice Or
the Democracy that for the future !
will not be safe for it to rely upon hi
kind of unquestioning allegiance I
