Cablc-Speclnl to TinIlrr. . ! To bo tiblo

Ireland It Is absoluU'lj necessary to vltlt the
west ceaM , for nloiif. ' that coast lie the so
inlled cotiKMtcd districts , nnd there Iho the
iworest people in Irclnml. I h i\o just ic-
tunied from such a visit. 1 went acioss the
country from Dublin to "Westport , a distance
of 1X ) miles \VtHtporlls about the center of
nfltrlpof roust om\hlch tlio poUto crop has

Kgnii , cleik of the board of gUiirdians slnio
IblO lles-ild :
"I thlnli thei-e will bocry sccro distress
this winter , but nothing like a f.imine , whith
I understand to lie pcoplo dying for wr.uit of
food Wuwciotho Hist union to cnll atten
tion to the outlook. I bellcvo that but fof
the cmlgiatloii which has t.iUen plnco thuo
would bo n famine. Now thousands
of these who wont to AtneiUa ha\o.sent ,
homo thousands of pounds everj yc.irto these
who remain hcie AVh.it ought to bo done h
to itnpioNO the hud und inako the pcoplo
Bclf-ielant. ! Anjtlilni ; of au clepinosynmy
nature would dcinor.ill/o them completely. "
Kcv BcinurdMcIJermott , cunto of 'West-
port palish , saja that the peiiodi of dlstrcab
which tire so o\er\v helming in their conse-
Kiiontcs to the dwellers on the west toast of
Ireland nio mainly duo to tno high touts
which the pcoplo arc compelled to pay for
their lands , avhicli , owing to the poverty of
the tillers , cannot bo iiuulo clf tupportini ;
The soil is natur.illy wet. Vas.1 tracta
of it aio i eel limed bog , "which
needs thorough diainago and fertilizing
bcforo It vlll furnish good crops.
It is not tnio , as Sir John Brown , brotherof
the maiquls otSllgo , recently said , that the
pcoplo uo longer depend upon potatoes , as In
former years , that teiis no longer a delic.icy ,
and that bread U the common article of food.
People drink inoro tta and oat nioro breail
than foimerly , Father MeDermott admits ,
but If it ucio not foi potatoes they could not
uuy bread and te.i. The blight , ho said , extends -
tends about four miles back from the coast
Neatly all potatoes near the coast wcio
cither stunted or soft , and no moio than
one third of n crop would bo gathered.
At Westport Union on some holdings theio
\vould bo no ciop ; on some the crop would bo
pretty Rood , At Kllvvenn , whoio the hind Is
good , potatoes nro good. If it woio not for
the money cninccl by the men , boys and gills
who go to England and Scotland , and for the
money sent fiom Anmici , thcro would bono
Ireland. Itas foil ) to cill the district con
gested. In Itil" thcio wcro 'J,500 families in
Kihvenii , now thcio nro baioly COO families
thero. The fisheries nffoided splendid oppor
tunity , hut the men lacked boats mid nets.
Fish wcio so plentiful tit times that the pco
plo killed them among the rocks ; yet when a
llsh was needed In town they must send to
Dublin for it.
'Iho moral effect of receiving constant re
lief was most demoralizing. IIo foil as > humed
to say it , but ho almost wished tint people
would not get nny. The people
nro losing their self roli.meo ,
nnd thcio would ho much distress
in Wcatnoit Union this winter , nnd in many
cases ho was afraid of absolute distress.
I examined the potatoes hi ngirdcnnt-
tncned to the hotel at which I stayed at
"Wostport. 'llioy were small hut good. The
pcoplo sild they -would dig nbout half an.
uAcr.igo crop. Father Gicoly of Newport
snld thnt the potatoes wcio vciy bid , most of
them not tit to eat , In Ids puish , even In
good jurs , the people 'could not support
themselves and pa ) lent on land except for
assistance. He did not think that the county
\\oiilcl produce moio than ouu-thhd of tin
'avcnigociop ,
At Muh aniiy and several places between
Novvpoit and Achell sound I examined the
potatoes. They were genenlly sound but
very smdl , some not lirgcr than inarDles.
Tito people of Aehell are likely
to bo in u bad -way , and Father O'Connor
tells u pitiful storj of their light for existence
on land never Intended for agriculture. Not
more than one fourtti of an uvcrigo crop
will bo gatheiod In Aehell. The people
make little wso of the spluiulhl flshoilcs , as
they have no boat * lit for deep sea llshlng ,
in d could notuso them If they had , for thoio
mo no piers whore they would be of Mluo.
And such is the story of the greater part of
the west coast In Mavo , p irt of Donegal and
InOiilway hut iiovvhcro Is It ns had as in
Aehell , for there It might almost bo baidlt Is
never good , Much relief will bo needed.
, i Jiellcf In the shape of public works is
needed , for with nil ot those
vvlth vhom I talked thoconvlctlni w.is tlrtii
that mere chailty had a most demoralizing
effect In many dlstiicts. . 'i'lio late potatoes
upon -which the pcoplo dapond for their food
nro not dug ) ot , hut enough is knov.n to
innko It ecitaln that the ciop along the west
coast will not bo more Hum one-third , or per-
liaps more than one-quit tcr , of au average
crop. Indian meal already forms a pait of
tbo menu In some districts , It is said , though
I did not sec any of it used. Thnt the local
government board will ho able to give neces
sary relief , Its members say Is certain.
1'crsons whose politics nro of dif
ferent shades c.\press different
opinions , nnd insist thnt the government
should nt once Institute a 8)stem ) of public
Improvements that would give work to all
who tire In need at help. As a general thing
those who talk as It they were In favor of
uch a course , and us If the ) believed In its
onleiewy , ilo not GO Into details. It would
inako It easier for those who are m search of
truth If they did , Exaggeration , too , is to be
expected , and from both &ldcs thick and thin
' the Kovcrumcut nro describing
the situation a * imich more cheerful than it
is , nnd Its opponents tire painting n picture
thattemlnds one of the stories of BW , 181"
andlSJS It li a mistake to say that there
will not be distress on the west const this
winter. It Is a mistake to ny that there will
boa ftiinliie Sectional distress docs not con
ntllutc n national famlncnnd thcrols Justas
little ground for sajlng tint thiro will ho n
