Tho Irishmen Who Fought with George
Washington.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir; In your issue of
this date American" has demonstrated to his own
satisfaction that the total number Of the Irish race in
this country in 100 was about 10000. or ono per
cent. of the then population.
From these figures 1t would DO safe to estimate
that at the time Of the Revolution tho Irish element
in this country did not exceed 5000.
Yet American" comedies that the Irish element
contributed from hve to seven per cent. TO the army
Of the Revolution. Seven per cent. OF the Revolution
airy army makes q total of 25, 900. which would indi-
cate that every Irishman then In the country fought
for independence. There is no margin for women
or children or old or decrepit. This Is very compli-
mentary to the Irish race.
An analysis Of Americans" figures gives no other
result, reduetio dd dbsurdun.

We pass to the evidence Of the general
improvement Of the italian community
since its political uniflcation. That social
conditions are bettered Is attested by the
signal decrease In the number OF crimes,
and by the fact that the iliterate, who, I'M
der the former regime, constituted in some
parts OF the country 80 per cent. OF the
population, have now diminished to about
20 per cent. The extent to which waste
lands have been reclaimed was brought out
In some statistics communicated to the
Daily Chronicle Of London in last June. 1t
appears that tens of thousands Of acres arc
in cultivation now that were wild pasture
lands twenty years ago. The great pdsco-
lari Of Albano and Castel Gandolfo were
ploughed three years ago fortho flrsttimoin
history, and are now magnificent stretches
Of wheat. The transformation that has been
effected in the cdmpdond to the north OF
Rome ia another notable example OF the
substitution Of tillage for p~asturage. The
textile industries Of Italy have received q
marked stimulus under the present regime ;
Bella and Schio are worthy Of Lancashire.
italian artisans and operatives are better
fed and better housed than they were for
merly. The record Of italian savings banks
bears witness to the diffusion OF much pros
perity. The deposits in these institutions
are $46o, ooo. 900, besides s11o, 600, ooonn
the postal savings banks.
1t is evident that q good deal can be said
for the condition Of Italy under the dynasty
Of Savoy. 1t Is nevertheless ~indisputable
that the country is overtaxed, and that
taxation must be reduced II the people are
to profit as they should by national inde-
pendence and civil liberty.

this republic are interdependent. and such
o condition as has existed In those particu-
lar States has involved injustice, and even
peril, for the rest OF the Union. 1t is q
morbid political situation.
II, however, the States Of the "black
belt" unite in practically disfranchising the
negroes. how Is it to be about their repre-
sentation In Congress and In the electoral
voter Are they to be left free to ex-
clude their negro citizens from the fran
chise, yet to retain their full representa-
ton on account Of them2 The New Or
leans Times Democrat does not evade that
question, though IL refuses TO believe that
the proposition to reduce the representa-
tion accordingly, under the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, will hold
water /; yet It Is ready to endure the loss II
it shall be inevitable. Even wero the
South threatened with q loss Of political
strength in Congress-" IL says, lit would
not hesitate to make this sacrifice II IL
were necessary for the protection of white
supremacy"
That such o reduction would DO fair and
equitable cannot be denied. Otherwise the
political equilibrium would be destroyed,
those Southern States having dlspropor-
tionate representation and consequently
undue weight in Legislation affecting the
whole republic and In the election Of q Pres
ident or course, the representation Of Ala
bama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana,
South Carolina and Virginia concerns US In
New York not less than it does those States
themselves. It may determine great ques-
lions Of national politics to our serious in
Jury, it might have brought about the cleo
ton Of Mr. BRYAN In 1895, with the conse-
quent disaster, which would have been even
moreterrible here than there.
The "solid South" undoubtedly, tends
to provoke the rest Of the Union, where
there Is reasonable division touching
national policies, to resort to such measures
Of self-protection against its menace as are
possible under the Constitution. II these
Southern States reduce their electorate so
largely by the exclusion Of the negroes
from the franchise, ought they not, in fair
ness, to have their representation reduced
accordingly. as was the case with them be-
fore the civil war;

Episcopalianism and presbyterianism.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: In the beginning
Of the present year THE Sun published q series of re.
markable editorials upon the secession of DIR. Briggs
and DR.. sleelds from the Presbyterian Church to the
Protestant Episcopal. One of these editorials. en-
titled Are presbyterianism and Episcopalianism
interchangeable Creeds ~ caused o sensation. for
its hypothesis was startling and its logical deduc-
tons clear and forcible. THE Sun said: IF q Pres
byteran minister can become an Episcopal minister
without undergoing any change of religious belief,
and II after having become an Episcopalian he can
still remain q professor in q Presbyterian theo-
logical seminary which requires Of him acceptance
of the Westminster Confession what reason is there
for the two communions to remain separate and dis
tinotf II there Is such agreement, why are the two
apartl Why are they not now in that organic unity
which has been so long under discussion %
1t was natural that THE SUNS argument should
arouse the Indignation and reputation OF the High

him that the circumstances OF the nativity
Of these citizens have the least bearing
upon their attitude on the question OF
Expansion. In the case OF the Tam
many leader, for instance. 10 Is evident
that his aspiration to become @ national
leader Of his party has been thesole reason
which led him to make soma cloudy, III
considered remarks on the subject.
As to SEIZURE and GoDKM, their an
tagonism must be attributed to Inherent
infrmities Of their nature. Since his en-
forced retirement from lucrative public
life Mr.. ScHuR1 has lost all faith In re-
publican institutions and has become a
morose and gloomy pesslmist. During his
whole career he has ever been the most I'M
happy OF men, except when his name stood
high on the Government payrolls as q
goldlaced WARRIOR an itinerant Senator, q
foreign Minister, or o Cabinet officer.
As to Mr.. GoDKIN, his ideas and theories
are a misft in these closing years of the
century. He Is a Tory by nature, hating,
fearing and distrusting the people, and
thoroughly convinced that they are in
capable Of self-government. New York

1t is mighty encouraging to hear such a
report OF political changes and conditions on
the western side of our continent as is rendered
by Senator Mcbride Of Oregon in an interview
printed in the Washington Post:
"The result In the West marks the return of the
Pacific coast States to the Republican column.
Washington and California have only followed the
excellent example that was set by Oregon last juno,
and I think arc both permanently with the Repub.
ncan party.
THE West has been sharing splendidly lin the
prosperity of President McKnsLETs Administrator
and In the benefits of q protective tariff. This ia one
Of the causes Of the revolution In the political
views of Pacific coast voters. But the farmers have
been receiving excellent prices for their agricultural
products. Wheat, wool, hops. and other farm pro-
ducts have brought high prices. and there has been
. constant demand. The farmers Of Washington,
like those of Oregon. raise diversified crops. and all
thess farmers have shared In the good times. The
election has demonstrated that these farmers have
returned to tho Republican party and that others,
