Public attention will he attracted to some
painful cases at the Castlebar Petty Ses-
sions of Wednesday. As will be seen by
families to q continued occupation of the
little houses which are dear to them de-
peDds on the decision of the Law Adviser
in reference to certain technical points
raised by their able advocate, Mr.. A. B.
Kelly. An outline of the history of these
cases will not be without interest. 1t
appears that large portion of Milebush
was held under lease made to man who
died in November last. Some 20 years
ago sub, denomination of the lands was
held by gentleman (Mr James Banrahan)
whose memory was and will be respected
in Castlebar. Mr.. Hanrahan gave habita-
tlons to laborers or in other words, built
or encouraged to be built, three laborers'
cottages on the road side that led to his
farm. Subseq quently he sold his title in the
land to q shopkeeper in this town named
John Corcoran, who held this lands up to
November, when, it is alleged, the life in
the lease expired. The lord of the soil
applied for possession of the lands through
his agent. The bailiff demanded posses
sion of the cottiers, they allege, on the
plea that it was only q matter of form, and
that they would be reinstated in their
possession. The land was sold subsequent
ly to the original tenant-Corcoran-a
amount they would be charged for their
little homes, are summoned and about
being thrown on the world without a roof
to shelter them, unless the poorhouse.
The history of these cottiers is rather
painful one. Mrs. Ammo DQrcan-over
sixteen years a widow has given two of her
sons and a son-in-law to fight for the honor
and glory of the Government that will not
protect her in her home. She has son
serving in India, and o son aud SON. in law
lighting the Ksfirs in the present war.
Victim No. 2 is a widow Ainsworth, the
wife of an old veteran, who smelled powder
under the burning sun of India, and who
died from the effects ofthe wounds received,
leaving helpless widow and four child
rem dependent on out door relief. Poor
widow Ainsworth's only son, and sole
dependence, had to join the Reserves, and
is presently serving her Msjesty in red
uniform in the city of Cork.
Victim No. 3 Is James Sweeney, with q
wife and three children, having also an
aged mother and father dependent on his
days pay. These poor unoffending fam
lilies got u memorial numerously and re-
spectably signed, posted to Lord Lucau,
TO which there was no response. Suffice
to augur the result of what Wednesdays
proceedings will terminate in If the issue

MUSIC 1T CATHOLIC CONCERTS.
Boston Pilot.

In order to be properly understood d
the question of music at Catholic concert|
we recur briefly to the subject.
By Catholic concerts is meant concert
which Catholics, chiefly, are expected
patronize. We do not mean sacred cod
certe; at which, of course, only sacre|
music should be given.
Fully three -fourths of the Catholics
the United States are Irish, either by bird
or parentage. The Irish people love the|
own music better than any other, as it
natural they should. Those who have hd
opportunities to cultivate a musical tast|
like what is called the higher class of musi|
but they also like the beautiful melodid
which link Irishmen together like hool|
of silver
Complaint is often made that Cathol|
concerts do not pay. 1t is said the Cstl|
olics do not patronize them as they should
and frequently the receipts scarcely MED
the expenses. 1t is highly desirable thd
this should be changed.
The chief reason why such concerts d
not pay is because the eutertainmen|
offered lie not of q character to attract. ]
is generally made up of selections frol
German and Italian composers who'd
names, even, are unknown to the bulk
the audience. The music may be al
questionably good, in its way, but IL is nl
the KIND OF music Ch0G an Irish C6GhOiI
audience wants. It strikes no sympsthed
chord, and in many instances its sweetne|
and beauty are thrown away, as ell d
called "classical music" must be on q pop|
lar audience.
Concert programmes, to bo pleasing
such an audience, should have OF least
fair proportion of standard melodies amo4
the selections. The aristocratic "claseicl
music" may also have place, for there al
many who like to hear it; but the old sir|
which touch the heart aud carry the miD|
back to early days should predominant
To treat them as common and out Of dat
ia a very great mistake.
AZ Catholic concerts are FIRE quently give|
for charitable purposes the object
making them profitable should -be ket|
steadily in view. The best way to gail
it is to offer attractive music. When thi|
is done, people who now attend concert
with reluctab ce will patronize them chee4
fully, and the financial results will cel
tainly be more satisfactory.

tenantry of Mayo should be called to enter
their solemn protest against the law that

eighteen years, died at BailyaDihan, CLAN

remains to the Kildorrery burial ground.
A sister of the diseased has attained to the
age of one hundred and sixteen years.

The election in this district
has passed off, and the people
have done themselves credit by
elccting Mr.. Barlow by II hand
some majority. We have sup
ported Mr.. Barlow because we
believed him to be an able and
reliable man, and a true repub-
lican. And we have full faith
that he will prove q Represen-
tative Of whom the people of
the district will have reason to
be proud of. Notwithstanding
all the hard things that have
been said of him, the people OF
the district have shown that
they also believe in Mr.. Barlow;
and also have by their verdict
expressed their convictions as
to the course pursued by some
of the opposition journals in
conducting campaign.
The Free Press, and some
other papers have rather as
sumed to be the conscience
keepers of the republicans Of
this district and the director:
of the party in all political mat
tiers, and when they found thai
the people had ideas of theiI
own, and were not disposed tC
be led by the nose, lost theiI
temper and descended into per
sonaIities, abuse and mud throw
ing. This kind Of thing may
answer in some parts Of thu
country, but an attempt to palm
such journalism upon an intel
Ggent, independent, reading

duce but one result. Trul-

England's government, it is stated,
is bringing our government to book,
because Russia is allowed to buy or to
build shipS-O.-war here. and to lay ia
ammunition, and so forth. This, says
Lord Salisbury, is contrary to our old
position on the subject. But Russia
is not at war with England, whereas
what we complained of was this, that
England made herself the ally of our
rebels. While nations are at peace,
they have a perfect right to manufac-
ture and to build for one another, and
to sell and tuy wha: they please.
Were Russia and England at war, the
case might be different, though even
then the matter would admit OF argyll
ment. Placed rs England is, we think
it would he unwise in her to get up q
dispute with this country on point in
which her own history would furnish
many facts and arguments that would
make against her apparent present
