IreIand's Loss of Population.

The viceroy of Ireland recently
called attention to the congestion and
poverty of certain agricultural districts
owing to the want Of attractions in the
towns, the towns being without the
manufacturing industries that attract
population in other countries. The
remedy is, of course, the establishment
of manufactures in the towns, which
VIII draw the excess of labor from the
rural districts. The only recourse of
the surplus labor of the country at
present is emigration, which yearly
diminishes the population of Ireland.
In the past ten years the population
of the island has been thus decreased
.53 per cent. whereas in Scotland,
where the population hocks to the
manufacturing cities, there has been
an increase of 10 per cent, and in
England 12.15 per cent. All exclusive
agricultural countries seem to be los
ing population.-Baltimo Sun.

No Kansas Conscript.

Kansas furnished more soldiers in the
civil war than it had voters, and the
killed and wounded in Kansas regi-
ments was a greater per cent Of loss
than that of any other state in the
union. The following from the Kan
sas notes of the Kansas City Star will
be of interest in this connection.
"No drafted Kansas soldier ever
served in the army of his country
February ID, 1865, a draft actually
commenced in Kansas and continued
until March 16, when a peremptory or
der came from Washington to suspend
the draft and release the men who had
been conscripted. This order came in
respons to- official protests from Kan
sas in which the fact was set forth that
the state had furnished more troops in
proportion to her population than any
other state in the union. Under all
the calls from 1861 to 1865 the Kansas

or so years. The first Of this period,
from the adoption Of amendments from
L to XII. was a period Of "A years, or
from 1870 to 1904. The adoption Of the
amendments from XIII. to XIV. was a
period Of five years, or from 1865 to
1870.
The epOch-creating force Of this
period was opposition to human sla-
very, in contravention Of both the de-
claration Of independence and the
constitution, grand ideals of liberty In
a republican form Of government, and
the adoption Of a bill of rights in har-
mOny- with the declaration Of indie
pendence. The third epoch of national
history is the Capitalization Of power
in the national government and en-
braces a period Of about 30 years or
from the adoption Of the XIV. amend
ment to the decision of the supreme
court in the Porto Rican case, from
187Oto 1901.
The epoch-creating force in this
era is a practical notification Of the
declaration of independence and the
limitation of the constitution to the
states Of the American union, through
the influence of corporate and concen-
trated weiIth, which favOrs centraliz-
alton of power in the national govern
ment snd an aristocratic, privileged
ruling class.
To recapitulate:
First Revolutionary war against
Great Britain because Of taxation
without representation"
Second Constitution forming a ma
tional government, and ultimately de
cIaring of force the principles set forth
in the declaration of independence.
Capitalization of power In
the national government, the practical
notification of the principles of the
declaration Of independence and es-
tablishment Of congressional absO-
Iutism.
FOurth-The supreme court decision
declares taxation without representa-
ton" within the power of congress
and that governments do not derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed, but from the viii of
congress.
Fifth-The United States is now a
republic as to the states but an empire
as to the territories and insuIar de-
pendencies.s.
As the great Lincoln said: ga house
divided against itself cannot stand.
Applying his words: "This nation
must become all free or all slave" this
nation must become all republic or all
empire.
