.soufb.s Political Effaeeme,,.

A prominent Tennessee man, LADS
d. McCord. has been sending out cir
cular letters to newspapers in the
Southern states and over large part
of the rest of the country asking how
much longer Southern men are going
to be excluded from favors in Demo-
cratic national conventions. The query
is timely. Its author declares or in
Inmates that he will make a stimuli
taneous demand all over the South for
the nomination of a Southern man for
President" He finds, on looking over
the list. that ne Southern man has
been elected President by the Demo-
Gratis for over half n century, and he
takes the sensible view that this ex-
clusion of men from his section from
the prizes of Democratic national cor
ventions has been carried on long
enough. and that a change ought to
be made at once. 1t is his aim to in
fluence public sentiment in the South
so that that section will insist on the
nomination of a President from be-
low Mason and Dixon's line in tho
Democratic convention of 1904.

Shall Suicide be Promoted.

In a recent discussion before the
Physico Medical Association of Indiana
DR.. ]. M. Thurston of Richmond took
the ground that when a person who
was sane had become diseased and de-
generated, both physically and mental
ly, beyond the possibility of a cure, Ii
he desired to commit suicide he should
not be prevented" and that IF 4 man
had committed ,oremeditated murder
from which there was no possibility
of escaping the death penalty he aid
a good act by committing suicide IN
relieving the community of a criminal
and the state of an expense.
A philosophical system which pro-
poses to encourage suicide under any
circumstances whatever cannot fail to
encourage suicide under all conceiv-
able circumstances. DR.. Thurston's
proposition is therefore impracticable
and unsound. The cases of self-de-
struction which he would approve of
will be numerous enough in any case.
There is no need of promoter in that
melancholy field.

Third Rail e1HI SoIOe Problem.

II claims of Il. w. Farnham of the
burlington" road for his third rail de-
vice for surface electric cars are fully
established by practical tests there is
little doubt that his invention Will
completely revolutionize electric street
railway traction in this country.
The third rail in a system of electric
traction corresponds to the overhead
wire in the trolley system. 1t is more
dangerous. however. than the over
head trolley by reason of It's location.
The voltage in the overhead trolley
and in the third rail is high enough
to be fatal to human beings and other
animals. but the former is supposed
To be beyond the reach of anyone and
hence the danger Is comparatively
slight Owing to the mechanical ne
ccssities of the device It was never
deemed possible to insulate the trolley
wire or the third rail
In Mr.. Farnham's invention we have
what appears to be dead" third rail:
ut least that portion directly under the
car is the only portion of the third
rail that is alive. BY an ingenious
mechanism consisting Of two Shoes"
which fit the third rail the circuit IA

HOME OF THE IRISH PEOPLE.

1t Is In the United States Rather Than
Ireland.
There are more Irishmen in the
United States than in Ireland. says an
official of the census office. The latest
returns from the British census shows
that the population of Ireland is now
4,456,546, a loss of five per cent. in the
last ten years. Sixty years ago there
were almost twice as many people in
the island. or S.173,124. The United
States census returns which show the
foreign-born population have not yet
been compiled. but it is believed the
number of natives of Ireland now in
this country is nearly 100000.
For every Irish-born inhabitant Of
the United States there are probably
two descendants OF Irish blood from
both father and mother. and this
would make the Irish population of
this country about million greater
than that of Ireland. In this estimate
no account is taken of the large num-
Der of Americans who have in their
veins Irish blood from one or the 9TH
er parental side. The cause of Ire
lands loss of population can be found
quickly enough in the steady increase
of the Irish population of America.
