from London-deiry to Gwcedoro , mm
cortninly this route deserves the great.
reputation that Donegal enjoys for
noble bays nnd lovely lakes , nnd
mountains high nnd dark. This is nil
1 ahull say nbout the scenery now , ns
I visit the country to tell about the
people and why they are so poor ; nnd
nbout their rulers , nnd why they nro
so relentless in their hatred of the
native population , I propose to niako
n political study of the County Done
gal as u typical Irish county.
POPULATION 01' DONKOAL.
Donegal in 1371 , had : v population
of 218Kil ; persons. There wuro
about six thousand more fcinolca than
males. During the famine two years
ngo over 80,000 persons wore reported
to bo on tlio relief list , In some
parishes on the coast the people saved
themselves from death by hunger by
eating the black Boa-weed. Whole
baronies \vero in semi-nakedness nnd
rags. Prom no other county did I re
ceive more pathetic accounts of the
extreme destitution of the peasantry.
The population of I/onegnl has
been steadily decreasing with every
decade. In 1841 ( the date of the
last census before the grcatfamine ) its
population was 200,448. It had been
rapidly increasing. Tlio famine swept
away over 41,000 , exclusive of the ex
pected ( nnd otherwise inevitable ) in
crease. Up to 1871 , the succeeding
twenty years showed a further loss of
30,82-1 persons. This shows a steady
decline during 30 years at the rate of
14 , 7 nnd 8 per cent each decade , with
out reckoning the natural increase. I
hare not been able to obtain the sta
tistics of 1881 , ns only summaries of
the census have been issued. But the
decrease has continued , it is stated ,
with a quicker waste of population.
THE LAND AND WATim OF DONEGAL.
Donegal has an area of 1,107,154
acres ; 22,880 acres nro water. The
rivers and loughs are the property of
individual landlords who rent out the
fisheries. Only 247,281 acres are un
der tillage ; 411,000 acres are in pas
ture ; 0,308 are in plantation or woods ;
505,710 are waste mid bog and moun
tain. These figures show that there
is about one person to every three
acres of "arable and pasture land , "
and about 18 to every 100 acres of the
entire county , liut this gives an im
perfect report of the density of the
population , because the pasture lands
do no moro to support the people of
Donegal than the plains of Colorado.
It is the tillnge lands only that are
available to them. The returns for
tillage bhow 247,281 to support 218- ,
334 persons. Deducting tpvn ) and
house sites and yards , nnd ditches and
roads mid-rivers , this proves that each
nnd every aero of accessible soil of
Donegal every nero of the wet ,
marshy , cold soil of the coast ns well
ns the more fertile fields of the inte
rior valleys is expected to support
one person , who is sternly compelled
to pay rack-rents for his holding , in
order to maintain u class of absentee
idlers in luxury abroad , and their
agents 'and other dependents in com
fort in this county.
DWELLINGS OF THE PEOPLE.
There are 40,354 dwelling houses
inhabitatod in Donegal. There wore
53,503 inhabited dwellings in 1844.
Thcso houses are divided in the gov
ernment reports into four classes ,
and these again into four classes of
"accomodation. " _ Thp fourth class of
houses 'comprises cabins only having
one room and window. In this class
there are 7C03 houses or cabins , built
of stone or brick mostly stone , nnd
45 mud cabins. These mud cabins
are rapidly disappearing. "I visited
ono cabin yesterday built of sod and
thatched with straw. It had no win
dows. There was no chimney only a
hole in tlio thatch. There was no
fireplace. The smoke filled the cabin
so densely and the heat was so intense
that I could not remain a minute in
it. It was , in table , and cow-house ,
and pigstyo , and henory as a well ns
a kitchen , nursery and bedroom as
all of these "fourth class" cabins are.
The door was of ! ' its hinges , and the
open doorway served for window ,
ventilator and chimney. More than
half of the cabins in this great parish
are of the fourth class.
Of these 7C03 houses , 7,542 nro in
habited by one ( human ) family ; 55
"accomodate , " 0 families each ; 5 have
3 fannlcis each , nnd 1 has 0 familicH
within its walls.
Third-class houses are cabins having
from 2 to 4 rooms and windows.
There are 15,771 houses of this class.
Six of them shelter four families
each ; 24 of them shelter 3 families
each ; 741 of them shelter 2 families
each , and 19,722 are occupied by
single families.
Second-class houses are officially
described as "what might bu consider
ed a good farm house , having from 5
to 7 rooms and wiudows. " There nro
12,010 such houses. Ono of them
contains 5 families ; 11 contain 4
families each ; 42 contain 3 families
each ; 202 contain 2 families each , nnd
t'.io ' rest contain single families.
In the first class are ranked all
houses of n "bettor description than
any of tlio preceding classes. " Tliero
are 1110 houses ranked as first class ;
but the "accommodation" is some
times fourth class. Ono house is re
ported to hayo 10 families ; another 8
families ; another 7 families ; 4 of them
0 families each ; 2 of them 5 families
each ; 5 of them 4 families each , and
G5 of them 2 families each. Thu rest
shelter single families.
UBUaiONH OV DONEOAL.
Of the 218,344 persons in Donegal ,
105,270 are Catholics ; 27,125 nro
Protestant Episcopalians ; 23,030 are
Presbyterians ; 1$18 nro Methodist ,
and 1041 belong to other Protestant
denominations. In Ireland the term
Protestant is. generally used to denote
an Episcopalian < > r member of the
Diseatablislied church. Among the
"other denominations" there nro four
"Friends " "P.rothren"
, ono ( Plymouth -
mouth Hrothreii ) , one "l-Vfethinkor , "
ono "Anabaptist , " two " .lows. " two
"United Vrosbytormns,1' "Inde
pendent , " ono "Xo Profession , " five
"Non-Scctafians"teii " "
- , "Chiistiam ,
two "Congregntionnlists" nud four
"Unitarians. " Even of the largo
sects elsewhere , to tjivo one illustra
tion , there ivro only IL'd Hnptistw in
Donegal. Those figures show that
over 7f per cent of the population nro
U.itholica ; over 12 per cent Kpisco-
paliaus ; 11 percent I'rrshytoii.uiH ; 1
per cent Methodists , and only 0 . ' 5 pur

Till' OLD 1K1SH TOMll'U.
Americans are apt to regard the
Irish ni essentially the same race ns
the Kin-Hall as , however originally
distinct in history nnd antagonistic in
politics , ns much nu > mbers of the
sumo nntionnl family , as , for example ,
the Texan nnd the Downonstor , or tlio
South Carolinian and the Northwest-
ernor. A brief visit to the West of
Ireland soon dispels this theory.
Ameiica has been able tn fuse in her
continental crucible , HI hi to run into
the mould of her own national life ,
the most stubborn characteristics of
every Kuropean race. She lias made
the most patriotic Irishmen American
citizens first , oven nit hough Irishmen
still. 13ut England by her policy of
robbery nnd hnto , protracted now
through centuries , hns intensified nnd
hardened every race clmr.ictoristic of
the old Irish people. They mo not
members of the British empire ns
South Carolinians nnd Down Easters ,
Toxnns and Californians , however dis
tinct in their characteristics , are
Americans. The Irish regard the
English ns foreigners , as well ns oppressors
pressers , and hate them as English for
centuries hated the French , and spoku
of them ns natural enemies. In many
of these western parishes not n word
of English is over spoken in the cabin ,
or in the fields , or .it the fairs , from
January to December , unless a tourist
or n constable nddrcsscs the peasants.
They speak Irish only. Lust Sunday
I hoard the priest here , Kov. Father
McFnddon , preach a sermon in Irish.
In 1871 , counting persons over 10
years of age only , no less than 18,02 ! )
could speak no other tongue than thu
old Irish , while 44,50(5 ( spoke both
English nnd Irish. The peasants who
can speak both languages rarely use
the Entrlish. I visited with Father
McFnddon yesterday upw nrcls of thirty

AOHAHIAN CHIME IN 1UKLANI ) .
Last year , according to Mr. Fors-
tor and Mr. Gladstone was especially
noted for agrarian crimes , so much so
that it was deemed necessary to sus
pend the writ of habeas corpus. In
1845 there wore 137 homicides in ] roland -
land ; in 181(5 there were 170 ; in 1818
there were 171 ; in 184 ! ) there were
203 ; in 1880 there were six only !
There was not ono murder in Done
gal. There have been no extra judi
cial executions of "agrarian despots"
no killings of landlords in Done
gal since the aompwlnit premature
death of Lord Lcitrim in 1878.
ABOUT A DKCKASKl ) LANDLORD.
This county abounds in stories of
this lord's "village despotism. " They
exceed belief. I stood a few days ngo
on the spot , where he was slain. No
ono in Donegal has any pity for his
fate.
" did kill the "
"Why they car-driver ?
I asked n laborer wlip wan working in
the road where Loitrim died.
"It was the only mistake they
made , " was the quiet answer.
I told in A hundred American cities
last winter the story of Lord Leitrim's
death nnd the immediate cause of it ,
I heard it in Connaught nnd again in
America , und "I told the story as
"twas told to mo. " I am now con
vinced that the version I rendered
( as Bishop Colcnso remarks of the
books of Moses ) was possibly myth
ically or poetically true , but that it
was historically incorrect. Lord Lei-
trim's offences against families were
many and merciless ; but I now be
lieve ho was slain for his tyranny as n
landlord. Whatever else I may have
learned about it I must allow to re
main untold , excepting only a narra
tive of some of his dealings with his
tenantry , which I shall give to you
by-and-by.
UAILIIOADS AND IlIVEItS ItENTED.
Last summer I discovered in the
south and west of Ireland that the
tenants were charged for the streams ,
rivers , roads and railways that ran
through their farms. I was told that
the practice was universal throughout
Ireland , but I hud no time to prose
cute the inquiry , although both around
Dublin , and in the counties of Cork ,
Kerry , Mayo and Gal way I procured
evidences of it. As far as my own in
quiries extended , I found that if a
bye-way or highway intersected n
farm , it was measured and charged for
as if it was part of the estate. If the
road formed the dividing line between
two estates each proprietor charged
tha tenants whoso farms wore bounded
by the road into the middle of it , and
and the same rule was adopted when
two tenants of the Hamo rule was
adopted when two tonnntH of the same
landlord had holdings on opposite
Hides of the highway. Streams nnd
rivers wore charged for in the
eamo way , Yet , although the streams
and riynrs were thus regarded , for the
purpose of rt'iit , us arable land , no
tenant thus paying for them dared to
fish in them , or ho did so nt his own
peril , as a poacher , nnd ho was fined
and. imprisoned as a poacher if caught
in the act ; for after charging rent tor
the area of the rivers , the landlords
lease these streams to sportsmen for
the season , I hoard of other land
lords who , after being compelled to
sell the right of way to railroads , still
continued to charge rent for the
ground thus sold. My friend , Mr.
Ilofornan , now in jail ns a "suspect , "
offered to conduct mo to ono farm in
the County Cork , rented at high rates ,
whore the tenant was forced not only
to pay for the largo strip of his farm
appropriated by the railroad that
crossed it , but for inora than an acre
of land once excellent pasturage ,
which the contractors had carried elf
ns gravel in building the road , nnd
so utterly destroying its value ,
The same "agrarian outrages" nro
committed in Donegal. I fiiid that
Mr. Gladstone's attention wai called
tn it us Into ago as last month. Thu
ccrrcupondcnco is printed to-day.
John Flanagan nnd John T.iylor ,
tenants of Kov. Robert Delnp , Monet *
luiij Killygordonin tin's county , coin-
plumed in n letter dated July 1 , that
they and thtir fellow-tenants had
been forced "for those eighteen years
to pay fur ground occupied by the
Finn Valley railway , ns well na for
public loads and fivers. "
"This iii a general complaint , " they
write , "ahum * 'iis ' line of wihmy ,
torminuting nt Stianorlar , County
Donegal , and Strnbano , County Ty
two. The tenant-farmers nloni ; this
route have frequently nnd respec
tively petitioned their landlords to reduce -
duce their rents proportionately on
this account , but to no purposu. Act
ing on their own nssumed preroga
tives , the landlord ) ) turn n deaf ear to
their tenants' appeals for n reduction
of rent on account of nhstmctcd
ground , but instead they have put on
us n greater burden by ruisini ; our
rents latteily 1870 , ns well ns making
us pay for railway ground. The llov.
llobert Delap in the landlord who in-
Diets such hardships on us , "
Mr. Gladstone's reply , through n
secretary , is that , under a law of
William IV. an occupier ns well as an
owner has "a light to npply for com
pensation when hind occupied by him
is taken for n road ; " and thnt under
an act of Victoria a tenant from year
to year , if any of the land which he
occupies is taken for a railway , is entitled -
titled to huvo notice served upon him
to sell his interest , or to got compen
sation ns though ho wore the owner
in fee. " This reply from n statesman
of good intentions shows how abso
lutely the poor Irish tenant is in the
power of the landlord ; for although
the Ulster custom prevails hero , nnd
although often all of the letting value
of the holding has bi-cn created by
the tenant , yet these laws give him no
protection , because they must be en
forced , after most expensive prelimi
nary proceedings by the grand jury
nt the county nssixcs , a court of land
lords , land agents and their cham
pions and partisans They always
throw every obstacle in the way of
the tenant striving to secure his legal
rights. This reply has reference only
to the minor evil the confiscation of
the tenant-right in the laud appro
priated by railways , It wholly evades
the vital questions submitted to the
premier-how , by law , to prevent the
landlord from charging rent forever
for land that ho no longer owns. No
power in Ireland , from Irish assassi
nation down to English legislation ,
Inw ever been strong enough to reme
dy any ono vital evil of landlordism ,
until the land league confronted and
defied it. And for daring to grapple
with this evil power , the majority of
the ablest leaders of the land league-
nro in exile or in prison.
