Our Friends and Foes.
Irish and Scotch i'm the War Of the
American Revolution.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: William
Harris has a difficult task on his hands
in disputing recent statements concern
ing the Scotch in the War of the Revo-
luton. but he does not help his case by
his references to the part taken by the
Irish.
While he Is correct In saying that II
&c not true that "one-half the American
army were Irishmen." the fact that the
Irish proportion of the Continental army
and navy, and of the militia regiments
raised in the different Colonies. consti-
tuted 3s per cent. Of the whole has been
proved beyond any question Of doubt
by Michael j. O'Brien b. his great book
"a Hidden Phase Of American History"
Mr.. O'Brien has taken this question en-
tirely out of the realm OF conjecture.
He has furnished the figures from the
muster rolls and enlistment papers. and
shows the percentages of Irish immi-
grants and their American born sons in
the various regiments and no mere the
cries or guesswork on the part of those
unacquainted with the facts can shake
his Inevitable conclusions Any one. of
whatever race, who loves brilliant
argument deftly driven home will rejoice
in the reading OF this book.
Mr. Harris refers to two new Irish
regiments" under Lord Rawdon, but. as
a matter of fact, these bodies OF men
were a mere handful and had no exist
ence as regiments. and nothing better
illustrates that point than the letter from
General Sir Henry Clinton to Lord
George Germaln. the English Secretary
OF War, In October. 1878. showing that
so many Of the Roman Catholic Volun-
teers" had deserted to the rebels" that
the corps had then dwindled to near
eighty men" Rawdon's volunteers OF
Ireland" az no time numbered more than
253 men, and when they marched through
South Carolina in tho summer of 1871
he lost more than half his electives
through desertion." his corps" was re
duced to a mere fragment" and Rawdon
went home to England "a broken man"
Mr.. Harris mentions one ofiler named
O,Hara serving with the enemy. but IL
he will consult "A Hidden Phase Of
American History" he will find list
OF nearly $500 officers Of the patriot

To THE New York HERALD: Accounts

lowing incident:
During the time that the late Proctor

Governor Knott. after reading the pro-
posed bill, remarked:
"The bill is all right II you will
change It and make II a felony for any
man who Is caught without sidearms
This measure, think will at least make
the gunman more careful and there will
be, no doubt, less shooting when every
man is prepared" JAMES MADISON.

Governor Miller's Police Powers.

Governor MILLER gives this
crime ridden city n message which is
big with promise He says that so
far as his power goes ne pledges him
self 'to assist in every way in the
enforcement of all laws for the pre-
ventlon of crime"
When such a man as the Governor
elect gives such a pledge as that to
the public something worth while is
sure to come Of II after he takes the
Office of Chief Executive of the State
one week from to-day For his powers
to do what he may need to do will be
virtually unlimited.
The Governor Of New York can re-
move the Mayor Of this city for not
having a police administration which
controls crime and safeguards the
public. He can remove the Police
Commissioner under the Mayor for in
effective handling of the police. He
can remove the District Attorney for
not doing his share to put the fear of
Con into the hearts Of the thugs and
gunmen.
The Governor OF New York can
keep on removing Mayors, District
Attorneys and Police Commissioners
one after the other and as long as
may be required until the city gets
officials that can and do put down
the criminals and protect the public
The Governor of New York can, If he
feels It necessary or desirable, send
the State police into this town TO back
ur local efforts against the thieves
and murderers. But the Governors
right Of removal is all the power he
needs to get the job done by those
whose business it Is to do It.
When Mr.. MILLER, therefore, de-
clares that he is going to do what he
can to clean UP the crime shambles
OF this town it is a warning to negli-
gent. Inefficient or otherwise un-
worthy officials concerned to clear
their desks for departure unless they
are ready to deliver the goods. 1t is

Irish played such an unimportant part
In the War of the Revolution, what can
have been the meaning of Clnton's state
ment n his letter to German OF Octo-
bel 23, 1878, declaring that "the emil
grants from Ireland lin the Continental
army1 are in general to be looked upon
as our most serious antagonists?
AS for the Scotch in America at tho
time Of the Revolution Mr.. Harris should
acquaint himself with the expressed
opinions OF Washington and other off,

them 20 have been practically unanimous
against the colonists We know that
Jefferson's original draft OF the Declar-
alton of independence arraigned the
British Government for sending Scotch
mercenaries" among us. but that this
was eliminated out OF respect for John
Witherspoon.
The Scotch In the Mohawk Valley were
Tories and their countrymen who set
tied along the Cape Fear River were
nearly all active Tory partisans; the de-
scendants of those who came over after
the defeat of Culloden were Tories, and
the Scotch Regulators who followed Fer
guson to defeat at Kings Mountain and
in the border warfare In the Virginia
valleys were of the sarne race.

Those Who Are Without Coal.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: When
the armistice was signed the Govern
ment had on hand about 900 tons Of
wood blocks and 800 tons OF peach
stones which were intended for the man
ufacture of charcoal for gas masks.
These have been purchased by one of

fuel. having about so per cent. Of the
heating value of coal. These prices

their own transportation and in units
Of not less than five tons.

Buried Alive.

1t is one of the paradoxes of the
law that III this state a prison sem
renee longer than life Imprisonment
can be given. Because ''life impriSon-
ment" may mean Incarceration for only
twelve years, Judge MCINTYRE very
properly pronounced upon the Hotel
Astor burglary HAWTHORNE, an inde-
terminate sentence of from thirty to
sixty years in Sing Sing.
If HAwTHoRNE's fate does not strike
terror TO the hearts of the rampant
criminals, nothing will. His sentence
means that If he ever leaves prison,
which Is unlikely, he will be an old
man, well beyond pleasure and ambi-
ton. Meanwhile he will have been
entombed, numbered thing in a
prison uniform.
All that HAWTHORNE stood 10 win
ny his daring crime was what he
could have saved in six months from
his earnings at almost any trade. He
preferred to risk what to most men
Is almost as precious as life-liberty.
In this case life and liberty are al
most synonymous. He will be de
privesf' of liberty, and death will be
only deferred.
If the criminal could and would
think he would laugh at the idea of
staying criminal when an honest
life is so soft.

It's q safe wager that to-day both
theatrical managers and players are
happy. The managers are pleased be-
cause last nights big business marked
the beginning OF the tidal wave of pat
ronage sweeping over the theatre during

most every production will give next

Lee Shubert said yesterday that

increasingly heavy attendance at the
playhouses to the fact that Christmas Is
now being observed less in the home and
more in the restaurants and hotels.

The party will take place in the set

This Christmas.

1t is a thoughtful day for most OF
the grownup Christians, who let youth

business Of merriment. We of Amer
lea, who make up one-sixth Of the
Christian population of world that
is only one-third Christian, are re-
minded that at this season the spirit
of Bethlehem knows no creed.
On the other side Of the world from
where we sit in prosperity this morn
ing there is sorrow and hunger. Eu-
rope has some Of 1t, Asia some To-
day, when America has satisfied every
reasonable wish Of its own children,
1t will give heed to the wants of the
children of less fortunate lands.
Christianity is too great merely to
be the almoner of Christians. Christ
mas is too wonderful to be limited
to Christendom. The inexpressble
beauty OF it is large enough to cover
all the earth that CHRIST came TO
voted beyond all else to childhood,
every follower Of the shepherds star
will be glad, we think, to remember
the children of other lands for whom
the Nazarene was as surely born as
He was born for US.
Those who are so fortunate that
this benign day finds them not only
IN health and wealth but in the pos
session of the shining spirit of Christ
