MORE IRISH OR GERMANSp
A Question on which the vital Statistic,
Contradict tho Census.

A Question on Which the vital Statistics
Contradict tho Census.
One controversy which has been going on
for many years Is as TO whether there are
more Irish than German or more German
than Irish residents Of New York. The
answer might seem easy to obtain from
Official statistics. Yet on this matter the
vital statistics Of each year disprove the
census reports.
In 1900, for instance, the figures given
by the census were as follow. German
population OF the Greater New York, s22, .
S4s, and Irish population OF the Greater
New York, 27B,i77. This indicates a clear
majority Of German residents. But Of
10000 deaths reported in the same year
1900 were Of Germans and 1900 Of Irish.
With the German population largely In
excess Of the Irish population here, the
number Of deaths Of those German bonn
should be, Of course, correspondlngly
larger. II is not, and never has been. and
this appears to be the starting point Of the
long controversy.
In their own country the Irish are longer
lived PEOPLE than the Germans and more
over. the death rate In Ireland Is con-
side rably less than Il Is in &c rmany In
1900 Il was % per thousand OF popula ito n
In Germany and only 1913 In Ireland.
BY the last published report Of the Boa nd
OF Health, given In detail, the number Of
deaths Of Irish bonn residents Of New
York was larger IN Manhattan, Brooklyn
and Richmond. The number Of deaths
among German residents was higher in
Queens, and In The Bronx Il was exactly
the same, though the cenCIs reports give
the number Of German bCm residents In
The Bronx as being very much larger than
tho number Of Irish.
