CnIIr the chief to TasIz.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. ?. 1897
Editor Morning News; beg the
privilege of your columns to
say a few words in vindica-
ton of myself before the public on certain
base and baseless charges made against
me by Fire Chief Maguire-if your ac-
count of the proceedings of the fire com
mission, published in your paper of Aug.
p last, is correct-at a time and place
where 1 had and could have no opportu-
nifty to rebut them.
During the recent investigation by the
fire commissioners 1 was subpoenaed to
testify before them regarding Fire Chief
Mcguire Under oath, then, when ques-
toned about it. stated what l knew of
the chiefs conduct on the day of the
last city election in Savannah; that l saw
him on that day at the door of the Sa-
vannah Grocery Company, surrounded by
and talking to lot Of negroes and TAX
ing them to and from the precinct BOOTH
which was on Bay street, between Whit
aker and Barnard streets, and in every
way acting just as the heelers all acted
for both political factions, on that day.
l then thought, and still think that that
was the First precinct booth, but whether
it was or not, il was what ! saw Mcguire
do, and not the number of that precinct,
that | was testifying to.
l would probably not have noticed his
conduct had it not been that my atten-
ton was called to it by the remark of a
gentleman who stood near me that
That's a nice position for a chief fire
man to be in" and who then said some
thing else to the effect that the Ere com
mission seemed to have succeeded in keep
ing their department entirely out of pol
itics.
The chief. in his testimony before the
fire commissioners, when l was not there;
when he knew that l was at Tybee and
in all probability would be unable to
leave my duties; when he knew that l
would not have the opportunity of bring
ing, as | can do, witness after witness
to disprove his assertion, asserted that
what l had stated under oath was untrue
and that l had seen nothing. He might
have stopped there, but he did not, and
went out of his way to say further that
l knew when I said it that it was I'M
true, or that | was ''just testifying to
what some one wanted" me 80 testify
to-" 1t is probably truer than he thought
that l testified to what some one wanted
me to, since every good citizen wanted
me to state the true facts, but that is
not what he meant to, and, to every in
telligent mind, did imply.
Were it not for this uncalled for and
cowardly aspersion on my character, l
could and would overlook anything he
might say in contradiction of my testi-
mony, and were it not that I consider,
in the light of recent disclosures, that
whatever he may say or have said
against my character for honesty or pro-
bity is like a rubber ball thrown against
a stone wall. l would personally chastise
him for that gratuitous insult offered me
at a time so well chosen by him for his
own personal safety, but, in the light of
those disclosures l will. with this state
ment to the public, refrain from such ac-
ton, unless it is forced on me by some
future misconduct on his part.
John Prindible.

POPULATION AND INDEPENDENCE
Nations That Increase Fast Under
the RdIe of Aliens.
From the New York Sun.

rom the new 1 OIK gun.
An item appeared in an English paper re-
Gently giving the results OF the June cen
sus of the population of Egypt, and show
ing it to be 9,7O0, 600 an increase of 1900, 900
since 1882; in other words, a gain of forty
two per cent. in fifteen years, the greater
part of which has been made since the
British occupation of the country. In a
French newspaper attention is called to
the fact that while the population of
France has not been increasing, The in
crease of the French Canadian population
in North America has been prodigious--
from 10000 in 1865 to 100000 in 1891 and
more than 100000 at present.
The deduction to be drawn from these
figures and from other Ike figures is that
the political independence of people is
by no means pledge of increase in popu-
lation; on the contrary. the growth in
numbers of dependent peoples under an
alien and sometimes antagonistic govern
ment is often greater than il would other
wise be. The increase of the population OF
India, abruptly stopped this year by the
plague, is, perhaps, fair illustration Of
this At the close of the ciyll war in the
United States an official enumeration of
the population of British India made by
the British government in 1867 put the pop
ulation of that country at 144,0000O0 ex-
elusive of AZ 100000 inhabitants in districts
under British control This was thirty
years ago. and the population of India at
that time was 19l 100000 in all. BY the last
imperial census made by British authori-
ties, the population of India was 2S,O00000,
about twice as great
Some nations have, almost inherently, 1t
it would seem, the attribute of self-goV-
eminent while others seem to thrive most,
in numbers al least, and to secure the
largest material advantages under the gov
eminent of men of other races. The gain in
Egypt and India is to be ascribed, no
doubt. very large to the improved sanitary
conditions which have been introduced by
the Europeans, and have done much to
mitigate the dangers of pestilence and re-
duce the ordinary death rate. The condi-
ton of Egypt, for instance, Is, by common
consent very much better than il was un-
der Egyptian government the normal
birth rate continuing as before, but the
abnormally high death rate being Teduc-
ed by science and sanitation. The French
Canadians who have shown during the
past century so large an increase are ex-
hibiting in their colonies in New England
a like, if not a larger ratio Of increase, the
material conditions in the United States
being better than they are In Canada. Aus
tralia is another English dependency,
though it Is less dependent than most
English colonies, which has shown a re-
markable increase in population during the
past twenty years. whereas those Danu-
bian- states which acquired their indie
pendence some years ago have advanced
some in population, though rel
atively little when compared
with the neighboring states eth
err left under Turkish jurisdiction or put
under the jurisdiction of Austria.
