Show - ' f SOME IRISH - AMERICAN j MILLIONAIRES. j The New York World Almanac for 1002 presents a carefully compiled and verified list- of American millionaires 3."i46 of them. From this list the Catholic Cath-olic Citizen of Milwaukee takes the following names 126 in all which are undoubetly Irish names; and there are fifty others that it passes over because be-cause the names (though commonly occurring in our Irish-American congregations) con-gregations) are not always to be relied upon as applying exclusively to people I of that extraction. This rule of limitation by the Citizen in selecting only such names as are indisputably Irish, "omits such as Clark, Carter, Hamilton. Judge and others, ; millionaires in Montana and Utah. Senator Clark, perhaps the richest man in the v.orld. is proud of his Irish ancestry, an-cestry, and was on the roll of membership mem-bership in the '98 club in Butte in its halcyon days.

We may further observe not with any ostentation, ; , however (for we think our wealthy I- ,; I ish-Amerieans are not above the ave- '; rage in public- spirit) that this list may be submitted In the British house of commons as an exhibit illustrating that under proper industrial conditions, condi-tions, equal laws and good government, govern-ment, the Irish race would hold its own. with any other element, in ability abil-ity to get on in the world. The above listed Trish-American millionaires could easily buy up ail the arable land in Ireland at even twice its present value. |
