An Insult to Irishmen.
Irish World.


Governor Albeit, Of New Jersey, at meet
Ing OF the Cleveland Democracy, at Horticul-
lural Hall, Philadelphia, few days since, said !:
81 would ask how much 1t must have cost
Blaine to buy the irish World over to his sup
port in this campaign" Neither the Republic
can party nor the Democratic party, nor both
PARTIES combined, Governor, have money
enough TO buy the editor Of tho Irish World.
Patrick Ford, whatever may be his faults and
mistakes, is man who has the courage OF his
convictions. When convinced that he is right,
ne moves onward In what seems to him the
path OF duty; and neither ridicule nor mis-.
Representation, neither the opportunities Of
friends nor the intimidations OF enemies can
hold him back or drive him from his course.
The editor OF the Irish lY0Tid has made sacri-
fees for principle too great for the little minds
OF his traducers even TO imagine. Mr.. Abbett's
question is an insult to the Irish race, for 1t
implies that no Irishman dare vote any other
ticket than the Democratic ticket unless he Is
bought TO do sol 'If the Romans were not
Sheep" says Shakespeare, "Cmsar would not
DO q WOLF" The subserviency of the Irish In
the past has, It must be admitted, embold-
ened these insolent fellows to thus Insult us.
They will not do 30 hereafter with impunity.

VITAL STATISTICS.
Births, Marriages, and Deaths for JAM
uary, with the Consumption Ratio.

Births, Marriages, and Deaths for JAM
unry, with hthc Consumption Ratio.
The report of Health Officer Townshend
for last month presents some interesting
figures. During the month of January, 1884,
there were 453 deaths in the District of Co.
lumbia. OF this number 1872 were white
males, 100 white females, 06 colored males
and 105 colored females This gives q death
rate of 1921 per 1000 per annum for the
whites, 34S1 for the colored, and 27.1S for the
total population. The death rate is unusually
high for the month of January, being niger
by 1868 per 1000 per annum for the whites,
1.63 for the negroes, and 3.1l for the total pop
ulation than tho mean rates Of the month Of
January for the past ten years.
Twenty-six deaths occurred in Georgetown
SO in the county, 40 in the various public in
stitutions, and 345 in the city.
The principal causes of death were con-
sumption 92 measles AZ, pneumonia 80, heart
diseases %, bronchitis 90, senile debility Is,
congestion of lungs scarlet fever, and con-
genital debility each 49, convulsions Ia, brain
diseases and accidents each 13, whooping
cough and cancers each 8, Brights disease
and diphthera each T. inanition and apo
plexy each 5, About SO per cent. of the total
number of decedents were natives Of the dis
! trict, while of those dying of consumption
| only 81 per cent. were born here. Measles,
the second on the list of mortality, still con.
tinuos to prevail, though it is thought that
the pabulum is nearly exhausted. The rate
of mortality to the total number Of cases dur
| ing the prevalence of this epidemic has been
estimated from data at hand at 80 of per
cent. With the exception of lung diseases
aud measles, the other causes of death which
appear on the mortality table do not give an
unusually high number of deaths for this
time of year. Sixty-seven marriages were
reported, of which 40 were between whites IL
between colored parties. and in two instances
colored men married white women. Births
roported-107 white males, 80 white females,
75 coored males, and 62 colored females; still
births-white IL, colored II. Deaths from
consumption were 90, or over 20 per cent.
Deaths from all pulmonary diseases were lS4,
or nearly 43 per cent. In other words very
nearly one-half tho deaths were from pull
monary diseases.
