Itis also the headquar | ters of the board of guardims of theunion, | and 1o plac Ireland is better acquiinted with overy y of hard times than is West port in Mayo. It was one of the chief plague spots of the famine of 1516 and hardlya year has pussed since that when it has not been found necessary to give assistance to huo dreds if not thousands within its borders. There ave 6,500 holdings in theunion, Re lief isa w known wordin Mayo. In the years of thegreat famine the work house con- tained 55,000 people and outdoor relief given to 3,100, population, wis number equal tothe present Twenty thousand pounds was the cost of relief in 1818, given by the board of grunrdians; £17,000was expended in 1540 £11,000 was expended in 1350, £13,000 in are the prospects of the people for 1 winter in Mayol Will there bou These questions wereput to John the con famine? w, clerk of the board of guardians sinee He s I think the y sovere distress this winter, but nothing like a famine, which Tunderstand tobe people dying for want of food, Wewerethe first union to call atten- tion to the outlook. [ belicve that but for the emigration which has taken place th would be a famine. Now thousands of those who went to America have seit home thousands of pounds every yearto those who remain here. What oughtto bedone is to improve the land and make the people selfreliant. Anything of an cleemosynary nature would demoralize them completely . Rev. Bemard MeDermott, curate of West- port parish, says that the periods of distress which areso overwhelming in their conse- guences o the dwellers on the west coast of Ireland are mainly due to the high rents which the people are compelled topay for their lands, which, owing to the poverty of the tiliers, cannot bo made self supporting The soil is natumlly wet. Vast tracs of it are rochimel bog, which needs thorough drmnage and fertilizing before it will furnish good ecrops. It is not true, as SirJohn Brown, brother of the marquis of Sligo, recently said, that tho people no longer depend upon potatoes, as in former years, that teais no longer a delicacy, and that bread is the coramon article of food. People drink more tea and eat more bread than formerly, Father McDermott aduwits, butif it were not for potatoes they could not buy bread and tea. The blight, he said, ex- tends about four miles back from the coast. Ne all potatoes near the coast were her stunted or soft, and mo more than onethird of a crop would bo gathered. At Westport Union on somo holdings there ‘woild beno erop; on some the crop would be pretty good. At Kilwena, whero the land is good, potatoes are good. 1f it were not for the money earned by the men, boys and g who go to England and Scotland, and for the money sent from Amaries, thero would beno Ireland. It was folly to call the district con- goested. In IS8T there were ) familics in Kilwena, now there are barely 500 families there. The fisheries afforded splendid opror- tunity, but the men lacked boatsund nets. Fish were 50 plentiful attimes that the peo- pie killed them among the roeks; yet when a fish was needed in town they must send to Dublin for it, The moral effect of receivivg constant re- lief was most demoralizing. He feltashamed to say it, but he almost wishel that people would not get any. The people are losing their self reliance, and thero woull b much distress in Westport Union this winter, and in many cases ho was afraid of absolute dist N I examined the potatoes in a garden at- tached to the hotel at which I staved at ‘Westport. They were small but good. The people said they would dig about half an average crop. Father Greely of Nowport said that the potatees were very bad, most of them not fit to eat. In his parish, even in good years, the people tould not support themselves and pay rent on lnd except for mssistance. He did not think that the county would produce more than one-third of an average crop, At Mulvanny and several Newport and Achell sound I exumined the potatoes, They were genenlly sound but wery snall, some not larger than marbles. Tao peoplo of Achel are likely tobein a bad way, aud Father O'Comnor tells a pitiful story of thelr fight for existence on land never intended for ngriculture. Not more than one-foarth of un average crop will be gathered in Achell, The ake little use of the splendid fis they have no boats fit for deep sea fishing, aud could not useo them if they had, for there areno piers whero they would be of value, Aud such is the story of thoe greater part of the west coast in Mayo, partof Donegal and in Galway. but nowhew is it as bad as i Achell, for there it might almost bo saidit is mover good, Much wrelief will bo needed. Relief In tho shape of publie works is needed, for with all of those with whom I talked the convictirn was firm that mere charity had a most demoralizing effect in many districts,, ‘Lhe late potatoes upon which the people depend for their food are not dug yet, but cnough is known to make it certain that the cropalong the we: places between coast Wil not be more than cue-third, or per- a BAps more thaw one-q crop.
