The Scutch.Irt,ii Convention.

The American Scotch-Irish convention
which is assembling in Pittsburgh is in
many respects remarkable gathering
and its proceedings will be watched with
mach interest. From an interview with
DIR. Macintosh, the noted Philadelphia
clergyman, much OF interest concerning
the sturdy race which has contributed
80 much to the glory Of America may be
learned.
DR.. Macintosh has spent much OF his
time during the past year in stirring W
the Scotch.Irish people OF the country
and comes to the deliberate conclusion
that fully one.tiih OF our entire popula'
ton is OF Scotch-Irish origin oratliliation.
In the past year many societies have
been formed and the signs are that the
organization will become one OF the
largest in point OF numbers and inhu-
ence in the United States.
The Sco.ch-Irsh were among the EARL.
est settlers OF the West, aud in this parti'
cuar section OF country their history has
been closely identified with the estab.
lishment OF early civilization and the
progress Of later years, their chief char
acteristics being, as one paper expresses
it, Conservatism, industry, solidity Of
character and dcep-rooted independ-
encc." The convention will enter upon
its regular proceedings to-day.

Not Losing Ground.

Assistant Postmaster General Clark
son is usually right, but when he says
tho Republican party is losing ground
in the great cities, he is mistaken. The
results Of the last election do not bear
out his assertion, as he can easily dem
onstrate by comparing the votes in the
past three presidential campaigns in
some OF our largest cities, which we find
in standard authority. In those three
campaigns Protection was the leading
issue. The steady increase in the pro.
tectionist vote in New York, the largest
Of our cities, was as follows:
In 1850 Garfield received Sl,730 votes
in the city OF New York, the issue being
protection or free trade. In 1854 Blaine
received 00,095 votes, the issue again be-
ing protection or free trade, but, in nd.
dition to these, Butler, who ran as n
"labor candidate" on an extremely pro-
tectionist platform, received 3,405 votes
making 1880 votes cast Tor protection
in 1884 against $3.50 in 1850. In 1855
Harrison received l06,923 votes. the
prime issues again being protection or
free trade, which is gain OF 1888. St.
Louis shows great Republican gains OF
late years. Philadelphia shows no loss.
In Chicago there has been steady in
crease Of the Republican vote when pro.
lection was the issue. In 1879 the Dem.
ocrats carried the city by 10000 major
ity. In 1880, with protection rs the issue,
the Republican vote increased to 1902,
Garfield having majority OF 1901. In
1854 the Republican vote increased to
81 ,43O. and in lSSS to 59,995.
These figures do not show that the
Republicans are losing ground in the
great cities. On the contrary, they
show that the protection sentiment is
gaining among the workingmen, who
form the bulk OF tho population OF the
cities. .i ..,

4 Dis.rncrtul Conspiracy.

For the past six months the Demo-
cratic papers OF the country have been
laboring to create m advance prejudice
against the Eleventh Census by charg-
ing all sorts OF dishonest motives to the
Superintendent and his assistants. First
twas alleged tina. the Census would not
DO n fair one, but that it would be
worked in the interests OF the Republic
! can party. Superintendent Porter gave
the lie to this allegation, and those who
have resolved to Cmbarrass the work
were obliged to seek some other method
OF arousing prejudice. They hitupon the
plan Of creating "kick" against certain
questions that are to be asked, charging
that they arc 'inper,inent" and All
"outrage upon tho rights Of freemen."

cution, but the obstructionists did not
care for that, so long rs they gained
their chief end, which was to embarrass
the Republican administration Of tho
Census Bureau.
Most OF the questions complained Of
hive been asked in former censuses, but
it never occurred to these demagogues to
array the people in opposition to them
before. All OF them arc intended to call
out information rs to vital statistics re.
garded MS important, In reply to some
Of the criticisms, Superintendent Porter
Z says:
Every manufacturer should bear in
mind that his answers to the questions
relating to his business arc held strictly
confidential, arc not disclosed to any
competitor or to other persons, and arc
not used by the governmental predicate
for tho purposes OF taxation or license,
or in any way to adversely affect his in.

The same may DO said Of all other
classes OF questions.

their readers to disobey the law (Which,

! Congress-, and affects to believe that

Even the Children Carry KNIVES and
Pistols-Murders Every Day.
Chicago Herald.
A San Francisco correspondent Of New
York paper declares that thu city by the
Golden Gate beats the record In the num-
Der and atrocity Of its murders. Within
the short space OF two years not less than
hfty-eight murders have been committed
Within the city limits. Still but two per-
sons have been convicted Of murder, and
both OF them were Cinnamon. One of
these would, in the opinion OF the writer,
have been acquitted had he not been
without friends and money and deficient In
reason.
Tho police ascribe the numerous murders
to the general practice OF carving weapons
They think that from 50 to IS per cent of
the adult males constantly carry concealed
Eevolvsrs aud knives. Some take small
armory OF assorted weapons about with
them. A large number OF women also
carry pistols. and not ; few OF them use
them on very slight provocation. Mrs.
Sarah Althea Hill Sharon Terry always
goes armed. and not long since MIRA Fair
shot Lawyer Crittenden in the presence Of
his family.
Children invest their pocket money in
above playing with dolls and marbles. A
teacher ina public school had occasion to
dicipline an unruly boy, of tough charac-
ter, though OF tender age. As he placed
his hand on the young rascal the latter
drew . revolver with murderous intent
A row ensued and police officer was called
In. A search OF the pupiis resulted In finding
thirty-five revolvsgs,T dos-n knives
Ike those used By bandits and several
weapons Of other descriptions.
But bad as II the showing Of San Fran
cisco In relation to murders, that of the
state outside of il Is much worse The city
contains "a per cent. of the entire popula-
ton Of the state. while only Is per cent of
the murders are committed there. It is
stated that every year there Is one homi-
eide to every 3.477 people. The proportion
is even found greater than in Colorado.
In the New England states there is one
homicide TO every O.4l1 persons, and in
Pennsylvania one in every Il, 2Sl.
1t is easy to explain why there are so
many murders in California There is
little fear of the law in country where
every white person who kills another 10
short trousers worn by small boys and in
the dresses OF girls who still array them
selves in short frocks. and giving them
money to supply themselves with dirks
and rev0lvers. is quite certain TO lead to
crime. When more than fifty deadly
weapons are found on the persons of the
pupils in one schoolroom. the presumption
Is that the owners Of them viii use them.
Probably . climate that is favorable to
raising oranges Is also fay0rable to raising
rows and the use OF deadly weapons.
People who spend much time in the open
air are much more likely 70 commit crime
than those who remain in the house.
There Is . very close relation between
climate and crime.
