Tit BUN. Oct. 24 -(f permO-The nl
(ry conditions of the three leading Irlah
cltlea Is ratiftlng grave concern to the
authorities respnn'lble for the public health.
Just now there are serious epidemics of
ypholil fever In Dublin. Belfast and Cork
and the sanitary authorities are at their
nits' end to find a means of chocking the
dlsc-iiae and preverjtltig Its recurrence.
Belfast hus unenviable record In the
matter of typhoid. Ever since l3-tho
year In wii'.ch deaths from this dlscasi
iveru flrt separately recorded the deaths
from typhoid each year ;n Belfnst have
ben normally about 50 per cent over the
avers for other titles In the United
Kingdom. Health commission after health
commission was appointed to investigate,
and. lifter exhausting almost every possi
ble caime. the authorities in Belfast have
come to the conclusion that the prevalence
of (he disease Is due to the custom of
the working class of gathering shellfish
on the shores of the Lough and eating
them raw. Belfast Lough Is a famous place
for cockles and mussels, and every Satur
day nfternoon and Sunday hundreds of
people may bo seen along the shore gath
erlng the shellfish and carrylrjg them home
In great bags. The waters of the Lough,
however, are budly polluted from the sew
age of Belfast and other towns on Its
banks. Every effort 'has been ' made by
the authorities to discourage this practice
and recently a cliy bylaw was passed mak
ing It Illegal. Incidentally the effcrts of
Bc-fast to cope with the typhoid evil huve
led to the city having the best water sup
ply In Ireland.
Kaldemlc at Clontarf.
Dublin la having a serious epidemic of
the same disease In the Clontarf district,
and oo far the authorities have not been
able to fix the cause. Clontarf Is not
working class district and the general sant
tatlor Is good. Both the water and milk
supplies are suspected and exhaustive tests
are being made. More than ninety cases
have been reported within the last ten.
days.
Cork has only Itself to blame for the
condition In which It finds Itself. The
alums of Cork ar among the worst In the
world and there are large areas that can
only be reformed bv cleurlng off the pres
er.t buildings altogether. At a recent meet
Ing of the corporation one of the council
men said that the sluma of Cork were
worso than anything In ancient Egypt, and
Hlr Edward Fitzgerald declared that they
were much worse thun anything In mod
em Constantinople. Sir Edward also do
pounced the slum landlords, who, he said
llteiMlv traded In human lives. The cor
potation Is now considering nn extenslv
housing scheme which will enable It to
transplant the Inhahltars of these slum
to healthier surroundings.
The growth of the national spirit In til
north Is again Illustrated by the report
wh'cli I'omn from Pallymoney this weeH.
Ballymoney is probably the most Orange
town In 1. 'Inter and the last place In which
one would expect a flourishing branch of
the Gaelic league. At the meeting of the
Hallymomy Board of Guardians last week,
however, a member announced Indignantly
that Ik- had Just learned that tho Gaelic
leiiK-.ie w is holding a class In Irish nightly
in llic local Orange lodge and. that moat
of t'.ie brethren were studying the national
language. The shocked guardian wanted t
know If the hoard could not do anything
about it. and he wr.s still more shocked
wl.en the board laughed at him. and passed
a rt solution In fuvor of the teaching of
Irish In the row N-uioiial university.
w Interest la l.aelle.
Tho studying of Irish is also taking on
new life u Maynonih. the training Behool
for the Irish Catholic clergy. For a good
many years It has been rather the fashion
lit Maynooth to sneer at Irish, but the lan
guage revival has made Itself felt here,
ton. and today almost every young priest
feels it his duty to encourage the move
ment. At the recent prise giving Canon
O'l ry, who la one of he pioneers of the
movement, t.ild how his mind had been
directed to the national tongue by John
Mcllalc. the great archbishop of Tuara.
When I lie canon was a student at May
ftootli he won a prize for an essay on "The
niiabcthan Age of English Literature."
The prize was presented by Archbishop
Me I tale, who said to him. "You spoke of
the learning and literature of Rome, you
spoke of the learning and literature of
Greece, you spoke of the learning and
literature of France and you spoke of the
learning and litrrature of England, but
Jou did not say one word of the learning
nd literature of Ireland." The rebuke set
the young priest thinking and from that
lay lie has been a leader In the fight for
the preservation of the Irish tongue,
(.rest Drop ia Emigration.
Emigration from Ireland shows a great
.Irop ao far this year. The latest return
l.owa that the emigration In August last
year only amounted to $.974 persona aa
compared with T.492 last year, and for the
eight months ended August SI the total
was only compared with 40.083 In the
corresponding period last year.
The king la selling off his estates In Ire
land, according to an official report Just
Issued. On July 12 last ha sold his estate
at Carrlgeen. Inishowen, consisting of three
acres, three rods, thirty perches, for $3.
to.th Congested District Board for Ire
land, and during the present year two
other estates have been aold by hta majesty
for KS and Si. respectively. This reduces
his total holdings In Ireland to about 30
acres. The Income from his Irish estates
last year was about flSO.uto. Some of them
are very valuable town property.
The Dublin corporation has refused to
license a number of motor cabs for use In
the streets of the city, and the Jarveys
have thua scored another victory. A few
months ago they succeeded In driving the
motor omnibuses off the streets. The rea
son assigned by the corporation for Its
action waa that tbe Jarveys were "a very
deserving class of men who did not deserve
extinction" F. X. CULLEN.

Former National Chairman Harry S. New
and State Chairman Joseph P. Goodrich
accompanied Mr. Taft today, as did Judge
L. G. Monk of the state supreme court
Judge D. W. Cornstock and former Civil
Service Commissioner William Dudley
Foulke. Judge Taft continued short talks
to farmers wherever stops were made.
"Mr. Gompers wants to know what I
am charging him with." asserted Judge
Taft In hla address to the thousands who
pressed to heir him at this place and
then answereu the question In this man
ner:
"I am charging him with misrepresent
ing the effects of my labor decisions
lie asserts that by the Injunctions I Is
sued the rights of laboring men were
stamped out. I say that Is buncombe
that it is misleading, that there Is no
foundation for It at all. that it Is simply
demagogic wind. Instead of being called
an enemy labor. I certainly am entitled
to be c Hailed a bencfacto rof labor Inso
far as It fell to my lot to lay down the
rules of law upon which the trades or
ganlxattons in this country have In
creased In the last decade to the useful
ness to themselves and to society and
obtained the power which ehey are now
exercising."
WINCHESTER, Ind., Oct. 24-After being
driven through the throngs in the streets
of this town, Mr. Taft, standing In his
automobile, paid his respects to Mr. Bryan
as an Inaplrer of confidence. He said:
"Orders are being made today and con
tracts are being made today contingent on
the election of the republican ticket, al
though Mr. Bryan would life you think
TV
those are not all of them . Viical argu
n.ents. Business men don't r- up night
thinking how to make cdtitracts which
shall affect the election, but It Is because
cdir
they really believe that the November elec
tlon Is going to determine whether we shall
go back to the prosperity of more than a
year ago. or whether we shall go down
to that natural limitation -of democratic
panics and four years of depression, and
why should It not be so? What Is there In
the record of the democratic candidate to
commend him to men who have the control
of Investing capital as Insuring a business
certainty and a future?
"What Is there In his record tending to
show that he knows a sound economic
theory when he hears It or sees it? What
la there to lead conservative business men
to believe that he would, should opportunity
come and a stringency attack us. make a
executive order, which he might do, which
should put us on practically a silver basis
The Investment of money Is controlled not
on patriotic, but on strictly business prln
ciples, and the men who advance It live In
Europe and in this country and they know
Mr. Bryan. They cannot help having
known him for the last twelve years as we
know him. And I submit to you, ladles
and gentlemen, republicans and democrats
whether anything could happen In the his
tory of the country that would render the
business future of the country so uncer
tain and therefore ao little likely to In
spire confidence as his election to the pres
idency ?"

MACK REVIEWS SITUATION
Democratic Chairman Says Bryan
Will Receive 301 Electoral Votes.
RESULT NO LONGER IN DOUBT
All the Solid Sonth and More Than
Half the North Are Claimed for
the Nebraska, Candidate
for Prealdent.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24 National Chairman
Mack authorised a statement today In
which he claimed the election of William
J. Bryan by a landslide. Ho announced that
his reports showed that Mr. Bryan would
receive at least 301 electoral votes, or fifty-
nine more than Is necessary for a choice.
Mr. Mack's forecast of the election) follows:
"The rumblings and thunder of the Bryan
landslide In the west are already heard In
the eastern states, and today I can confi
dently predict the election of Mr. Bryan.
That n landslide In tho west will extend
to the shores of the Atlantic. It means
the) democratic national ticket will carry
every doubtful state In this section, and
In rock-ribbed republican districts the- ma
jorities of that party In recent years wllj
be reduced ' a minimum. Baaing my fore
cast on t-' most conservative lines, in
Yiew of the optimistic reports I have re
ceived from nil sections of the country. I
figure that Mr. Bryan will have at least
301 votes or fifty-nine more than Is neces
sary for a choice. This comfortable ma
jority will he Increased rather than de
creased when the vote Is counted.
"In addition to the IfiS votes of the solid
south, and In this I Include Maryland, I am
confident that Mr. Bryan will carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Idaho, Mon
tana, Colorado, Nebraska, Neva.la, Indiana,
Ohio, Delaware, Kansas and South Dakota,
a total of 301 votes. All over the country
there Is a change of 30 to 50 per cent In the
Roosevelt vote of J904 to Mr. Bryan.
Snrs New York la Safe.
"The result Is no longer In toubt in New
York. The thlrty-nlne votes In the state
are assured for Mr. Bryan. lie will win by1
a substantial plurality. The Empire state
can no longer be Included In that territory
called 'the enemy's country." I speak from
Information gained from a thorough can
vass by representatives of every county In
the state.
"From Connecticut I have received very
encouraging reports. Judge Robertson, the
democratic candidate for governor, will
carry the state by about 220,000 plurality
and the national ticket, backed by a united
party, has the best chance 1n years for
winning the electoral votes.
New Jersey sounds an optimistic note
and there is every reason to believe that
that state wll be In the democratic column.
This is not an extravagant statement when
you take Into consideration the fact that
the tremendous republican majorities of 80.
OuO in 1904 and 00,000 in 1D00 were reduced
to 7,000 In the gubernatorial contest In 18o7.
Mr. Bryan's tour of the state on Friday
last and th ovation he received spelled
victory to my mind. Th dissensions in the
republican party in West Virginia and the
swing of the labor vote in that state to
Mr. Bryan are powerful factors for his
success.
"Delaware, we expect to win. The people
are hot with resentment against a party
branded with Duponttam.
Ohio and Indiana.
"In Ohio and Indiana every element is
working for our success, and despite the
great republican majorities of previous
yeara I am confident that both states will
be in th democratic column. They are for
Bryan today, and there is no reason for be
Uevlng that the next week will witness a
change of sentiment. Eighty per cent of
the labor vote in both states, and fully as
large a percentage of the German popula
tion are for Bryan. Illinois Is doubtful, with
th chances for Mr. Taft, but if he wins it
wl'l be by a greatly reduced plurality.
"The Pacific coast states all ahow a
Bryan trend and a disgust at the extrav
agant, destructive policies of Mr. Roose
velt. In each, particularly in Oregon, state
Issues are an Important factor.
"The mountain states, from Information
I hav received within forty-eight hours,
will, I am confident, be counted In the
Bryan column.
"In fine, I figure at the present time
Mr. Bryan will have at least SCO electoral
votea. I Include In my estimate the follow
ing states:
Solid souts 1M Dolawars t
Idaho -i Klnui 10
Montana 1' Kw York 19

Mr. Mack also said today that he under
stood that the republican organisation had
accumulated S3.OuO.MO. which would be uaed
in several of the debatible states. "But."
said he, "they cannot defeat us with
ttt, 000.000.''

Reliable reports have been received to
the effect that a wave of Indignation has
awept into the State Journal office from
Its angry subscribers because of the an
nouncement of the democrats that they
have bought space In that sheet In which
to publish democratic doctrine.
This hat had a very chilling effect on
the "republican" Journal, so the report
goes, and . now If the democrats get that
space they say. they have contracted for
Tom Allen will certainly ha- to go to th
mat with the head of the Journal outfit
I will bo several days before It can b
announced with authority. Just how many

bought up with their slush fund, hut It Is
known for sure that at least one pretty
good sixed sheet Is nibbling swfully hard
at the democratic bait, and It may hav
to be Jarred Iobo with a club or it will take

out of Its embarrassing predicament by
Just continuing on Its present course
larrbastlng republicans anil boosting demo
crats, ulng the afternoon sheet for tha
purpose. It could do this nr.d never have
to show Its hand In the contract matte
and the democrats no doubt will be satis
fied. Yet It waa annourced by a big demo,
crat last night:
"The Journal will print the stuff all
right."
It Is believed, however, the Journal ha
cold feet and will be afraid to publish th
matter as It Is prepared by the dmocratl
con:mlttee. But the Journal sold Its space
two years ago to the democrats, and It I
going to be an awful hard Job to sta
away from the fied trough during thl
campaign. In space bought hy the demo
crats Congressman Pollard wns vllllflc
and abused In that "republican" sheet, so
It is a tosaup what will liapp. n now. Bu
no one doubts the truth of the story told
by the democrats that they have bougl

Registration workers In the employ of the
democratic state committee today were
looking out for Bryan voters and cared
nothing for Shallenberger votes. Workers
were instructed wherever a Bryan voter
could be found a carriage should be pro
vided to get him to the registration booth.
Not one single worker was Instructed to
look after Shallenberger's Interests.
It has been known for some time that
Tom Allen has double-crossed and thrown
down Shallenberger, and Inasmuch as the
Information came straight there was no
chance for It to be untrue. But today Tom
Allen threw off all semblance of a fight
for the democratic nominee for governor
and came out for Bryan and for no one
else. It Is currently reported that a mem
ber of the Commoner force had announced
that he Intended to vote for Bryan and
Sheldon.
Shallenberger's friends are getting con
siderably worked up at the way Bryan's
leaders are throwing down the candidate
for governor and there Is no doubt they
will retaliate at the polls.
Organisation In th Family.
According to the way Tom Allen figures
It, Shallenberger has not a ghost of a
chance to win and therefore the democratic
state committee la Just wasting Its time
ana money in trying to boost him. She
I lenberger himself was not long left In the
dark about his standing with the Bryan
Duncn. lie was told more than a week
ago that he would have to hustle for liln
self, and practically th only friend he
has In the whole democratic headquarters
la Chris Oruen'.her. (Jruenther worked up
quite a Bryan organisation and then when
he might have reaped some of the reward
for his work, Tom Allen came in and
shoved him aside. He did this at the re
quest of Mr. Bryan, who wanted to have
the organisation In the family.
The organization t la In the family and
that Is why it cannot be used to help Shal
lenberger. That is why Bryan wanted the
organization In the family. Mr. Shallen
berger himself will not deny. It Is reported,
he has received word that Bryan's friends
will not help him.
Here is what a few republicans are say
ing about the republican ticket:

Itetarn from Chicago and Dea
Moines, Where They Effected
These Plans.
President Roosevelt's commission to in
vestigate ootxjitlons of nral life In America
will hold a series of conferences In Omaha
during the National Corn exposition and
meet some 20,000 farmers, a large number
of grain dealers, editors of Agricultural
papers, railroad men and manufacturers.
Members of the comn lsslon are Prof,
k H. Bailey, director of the college of
agriculture of Cornell university; Henry
Wallace cf Des Molr.es, founder and owner
of Wallace's Farmer; Kk-nycn T Butler
field, president of the. Massachusetts Agrl
cultural college; Grlffoid Plnchot, chief of
the United Rates forest service, and Walter
H. Page, editor of World's Work. It la
likely that all members of the commission
will be In Omaha.
C. C. Roaewater. gennal manager of Tha
Bee, has returned from Des M'Mnes and
Chicago, where lie went In the Interests of
the National Corn exposition as chairman
of the executive committee. Mr. Rosewater
was accompanied by J. Wilkes Jones, gen
eral manager of the corn show, and tha
final plana for the conferences of the com
mission were discussed wtlh Henry Wnl-
ace In Dei Moines. Mr. Rosewater had
formerly had an Interview with Prof.
Bailey of the Cornell Agricultural cn!eg,t
while -he was on hla vacation, stopping at
Ithlca to discuss the Omaha conferences.
Plan for Three Conferences.
Plans are now completed for three con
ferences during the mornings when tho
commission Is in Omaha. The morning ses
sions will be devoted to discussion wtlll
the farmers who are Invited to attend,
country physicians, ministers of the gospel
from the rurals, country bankers, business
men and newspaper editors. From thes
the commission expects to glean a fund of
information as to present conditions In tho
country.
Th afternoon of the first dav will b
devoted to a conference with the grain deal
era and cereal manufacturers. Elevator
men and grain buyers from the leading
primary markets of the I'nlted States will
be present, as well aa Inspectors and others
connected with the grain trade. These wlli
be given a dinner by the Omaha Grain
exchange.
The next day the editors of agricultural
papera will be given a dinner by The Twen
tieth Century Farmer and the commission
for the president will be present. Topics
and Information from the standpoint of th
editors will be under discussion.
Rallrord Men Have Day.
The third afternoon the railroad men will
be guests, with the commission, at a din
ner to be served by local railroads and
railroad men. It Is probable that at this
conference more railroad officials will be
present than have ever gathered around a
table or attended a conference In Omaha.
The management of the National Corn
exposition has ulready received the assur
ance of several railroad presidents that
they will attend, as well as send high
operating and traffic officials.
The commission will send Invitations to
hundreds of the most prominent men In
many lines In the northwest to meet them
In Omaha and It Is the opinion of the mali
ngers of the National Corn exposition that
no feature of the exposition will exceed In
Importance the conferences of tne federal
commission, composed as It Is of men of
natlunal reputation and influence.
r or. -lone of Commission,
The purpose of the commission may he
gleaned from the following letter written
by President Roosevelt to those who ha
asked to serve on the commission:
'The farmers have hitherto had less than
their full share of public attention alonf,
the lines of business and social life. Then
la too much belief among all our people
that the prizes of life lie away from th
farm. I am therefore anxious to bring be
fore the people of the United States th
question of securing better business and
better living on the farm, whether by co
operation between farmers for buying, sell
ing and borrowing, by promoting social
advantages and opportunities in th coun
try or by any other legitimate means that
will help to make country life more gain
ful, more attractive and fuller of oppor
tunities, pleasures and rewards for th
men, women and children of the farms.
"My Immediate purpose In appointing
tills commission Is to secure from It auch
Information and advice as will enable me
to make recommendations to congress upon
this extremely Important matter. I shsll
be glad If the commission will report l
me upon the present condition of country
life, upon what means are now available
for supplying the deficiencies which exist
and upon the best methods of organized,
permanent effort In Investigation and ac.
tual work along the lines I have Indicated.
You will doubtless also find It necestary
to suggest means for bringing about tha
better adaptation of rural schools to th
training of children for life on the farm.
The National and 8.ae Agricultural de
partments must ultimately Join with the
various farmers' and agricultural organi
zations In the effort to secure greater ef
ficiency and attractiveness In country life."
