were those great masses of Irish troops?
Where does Mr.. Davitt imagine that
they came from? To have big number
of Irish recruits you must have a very
large Irish population. Where did this
large Irish population live? There were
less than 100000 of inhabitants in the
colonies when they revolted, and we are
singularly rich in information about
these people, their differences of race,
religion, temperament and civilization.
We know about the various kinds of
Puritans in New England; we know
about the Dutch and Palatines of New
York; the Swedes, Quakers and Pala-
tines of Pennsylvania and Delaware;
the Cavaliers of Virginia and the Caro-
linas. But l find nothing about any

Mr.. Frederick, think, underestimates
the volume of the emigration from Ire
land previous to and during the Ameri-
can war Of independence. Anything
like a considerable immigration from
Ireland" he says, did not begin until
1885, In this he is mistaken. There
was steady and considerable immigra-
tion from both the North ard the South
of Ireland. The Northerns, Presbyter-
ians mostly, fled from the revaluations
and rackrents that were being imposed
on them by some of their great land
lords, especially by the marquis of
Donegal; the Southerns fled from the
pressure CT the penal laws Writing of
this period, Marmion, in his History OF
the Maritime Ports Of Ireland" says:
THE effects of this agrarian insurrec-
tion Gn Antrim), which extended to the
adjoining counties, seriously affected the
welfare of the province Of Ulster, and
was instrumental In extending liberty
to the whole human race. Thousands of
men driven from their holdings, dissat-
isfied with the country, and expressing
the deepest resentment against the Irish
landlords, emigrated to America. Ar
irving there at critical moment, and
actuated by their wrongs, they Joined
the armies of Washington then contend
ing for independence, and contributed
by their numbers, as we'll as by their
courage and conduct, to separate the
United States from the British crown.
The emigration to America during the
years It'll, 1872 and 1918 exceeded all
precedent"
From Belfast, says the writer lust
quoted, there sailed in the three years
named 80 ships filled with emigrants,
from Londonderry 36 and from Newry
", and he estimates the number of their
passengers at over $4,000. The Rev. Mr..
Gordon, a Protestant clergyman, in his
history of Ireland, after describing the
agrarian disturbances in the north,
says:
80 great and wide was the discomfort
that many thousands emigrated from
these parts of Ulster to the American
settlements, where they soon appeared
in arms against the British government
and contributed powerfully by their zeal
and valor to the separation of the
American colonies from Great Britain"

most prosperous farmers Of the state.
The proof exists in the rich farms, the
thriving towns and settlements found,
say, between the points already named,
which are known and recognized as
largely populated by lrishmen.
To mention the farming population
and ncighborhoods in the vicinities of
Joliet, Morris, Seneca, Ottawa, La Sale,
and across over to McHenry county, ST.
Charles, Dixon and along the Fox river
is to demonstrate the truth of what Is
here asserted.
Names might be given in further
proof to show how these Irish farmers
have prospercd. Many, indeed, have ac-
cumulated considerable wealth, and
some of the most important merchants
and traders in the towns referred TO,

Chinese Commissioner Brown Makes
New Ruling as to Return
Permits.
Mr.. Joshua X. Brown, the U. S.
Commissioners for Chinese Immigra-
tion, visited the Chinese Bureau
with U. S. Special Agent Sewall yes
terday afternoon at 4:50, and for
tunately found the indefatigable
Secretary at work after Office hours,
and in fact would have found him
there until a late hour for there is
considerable work to be done by
him.
Mr.. Brown at once eDquired as to
the method adopted Of issuing re-
turn permits to Chinese laborers,
and on being informed that a seven
years residence was prerequisite
and practically the most important
qualification required, notified Mr.
Girvin that this was not sufficient.
He would inform the Chinese Con.
sui that no return permits could be
issued unless the laborer had pro-
perty in the Islands OF the value of
at least ST. 900 and had also family
resident here.
Although Minister Cooper, the
head of the Chinese Bureau, is alb
sent from the city, Secretary Girvin
after consultation with Attorney.
General Smith this morning decided
to follow this ruling. Consequent

Kl0ndykian Cold.

In a warm climate, such as
ours, ice is an absolutely ne
cessity as food preserver
and a means towards preserv-
ing an equal temperature of
body and mind. Ice chests
and refrigerators are no long
er luxury but a necessity
and the wise woman always
selects the best for her house
hold. This undoubtedly is
the Alaska as experience has
proved.
The ALASKA is constructed
upon strictly scientific prin-
cipals, by which low tempera-
ture and dryncss of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
The ALASKA has preserved
fresh meats perfectly for three
weeks in the hottest weather
and produces better results
with less ice than any other.
The ALASKA has the only
provision chamber free from
odor, for between the outer
and inner walls there is an
inch and a half space filled
with pure charcoal, and ex-
perience has convinced all that
the ALASKA is without doubt,
the best refrigerator on the
market, in construction, in
preserving perishable goods,
in economy of ice, and in all
points necessary to make
them first class,
We have them in several
sizes, at from $15 to $25 and
also keep the ALASKA Ice
CHESTS.

LABOR IN HAWAII.

Hawaii being an outpost Of the
United States, and very convent
ent landing stage in both directions
it is only natural that the Mainland
should take an interest ia those who
arrive here and depart from our
shores. The new ruling OF Chinese
Commissioner Brown in regard to
return permits for Chinese will
probably have the effect Of keeping
nearly all our Chinese laborers with
in our borders, for not many of
them have saved up a Thousand
dollars out of their wages which are
principally consumed in procuring
the necessary rice for their susten.
ance and but very few have families.
The following extract from the
Chicago Democrat will be found to
be OF interest on the main question:
In ann.xing Hawaii the United
States has also annexed large con-
signment OF slave labor. Briefly the
facts relative to the slave labor of
Hawaii are as follows: In 1850
law was passed providing that when
ever any Of the coolies employed
should desert the labor of any
master they might be taken under
warrant of arrest, and, il found
guilty of the offense Of desertion, be
ordered back to work by the Judge,
andif they then refused to go back
to work they should go to jail until
they decided to obey. That is
slavery just as actual as was that
which existed in the south before
the war between the states. Indeed
it possesses many features more in
human than the Negro slavery
which has been abolished. The
question now arises can congress by
joint resolution of annexati IN un-
do the work performed by Abraham
Lincoln! Already the sugar planters
of Hawaii are busily at work trying
to make sentiment in favor of the
continuance of the oppression which
now exists on the island. 1t can not
be readily believed that a Repub-
lican congress will listen favorably
to plea made by the sugar trust Of
Hawaii. Such concession wou d
disgrace this country and make it
once more the home Of the slave
Chicago Democrat.
