A QUESTION THE IRISH IN AMERiC

We publish this week Il letter from
Mr.. Dillon O'Brien, of Minnesota,
suggesting the holding of a national
convention of Irish American dele
gates to discuss the question of
increasing the number of Irish set
tiers on the unoccupied lands of the
South and West. No one who has
examined the present settlement of
the Irish in America will dispute the
wisdom of such Il call. The only
question that arises is one of practica-
hility. We are all aware that too
many of our people have collected in
the great Eastern cities, where they
injure each other 10y their close com
petition. and where hundreds of
thousands must be lost in the terrible
daily struggle for bread. The time
has grown ripe to begin movement

The question arises--how shall this

is precisely what is to be answered
by the Convention-precisely what
needs discussion and consideration by
every Irish society, and by every in.

We ask for this project the serious
attention of the Catholic press. We
request the eiicers of Catholic and
Irish societies 10 bring the matter
before the members. We respectfully
request for this question the con

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.


TO the Editors Of the Fish-American
Press:
GE,3TLEMEN:-Let my honest mo
tiyes and the Importance OF my sub
iect excuse me for addressing you col
lectiyelv. I nave now been over three
months travelling in the interests OF
Irish immigration to the land, through
many portions Of the east.
In every eastern city | visited
found a large surplus population, the
majority being Irish, out OF employ.
ment, without any prospect in the fu.
ture, no matter how the times may
improve, of getting steady employ
ment; improved machinery and labor
saving machines have showed this sur
plus hand labor out of the field. Now
what are the results! You know
them full well; poverty, suffering.
degradation, crime and death. The
birth and death statistics Of New
York city, for the quarter ending.
March 1877, show that eighty-three
per cent of the children Of Irish par
entage, born within that time in the
city died. Huddled in crowds in the
eastern cities our numbers represent
not strength but weakness; is there
no remedy! Yes, the immigration to
the land Of those of our people suited
for agricultural life.
| respectfully propose that we
should have national Irish Immigra-
ton convention, where we can discuss
this question, and | ask you to adVO-
cate the holding Of it ut an early day.
DO not say that it would amount to
nothing, produce no good results, for
such a Judgment would virtually I'M
ply that, as u race, we amount to moth
ing in regard to practical movements.
Let us try, even at the eleventh hour,
to do something practical. to redeem
the neglect and shame OF the past.
The crowding Of our people into cities
has reached Il point where something
must be done, and that quickly; for
within few years there will be no
unoccupied lands left for them t., set
tie upon; and l know no better way to
bring about good results than by a
meeting of representative lrishmen
to discuss this whole question.
In regard to my own special labors,
us agent for the Catholic Colonization
Bureau of Minnesota, thanks to the
generous aid Of the Irish American
Press. | have been emlnently sue
cessful. SO numerous have been the
applications for land that the bureau
contemplates extending the bounds of
it's colonies into the adjoining coun-
ties. The success of our Minnesota
movem mt is II full answer to those
who say, that you cannot successfully
colonize the Irish. With your per-
mission | will again remind those 60
ing to Minnesota this spring that they
should be in st. Paul by the lSt of
May, if they want to have Il garden
crop this year, to help them on in
their living until their first wheat
crop comes in.

The Eyesight.

DIR. Edward G. Loring's essay, emit
tied, Z" Is the Human Eye Changing its
Form under the Influence of Modern
Education?'' read before the Social
Science Convention and the New York
Medical Society, tend to show that the pc
Rod for development of myopia is from
the 10th to the 18th year, just at the
ttime when the body, as whole, is de-
velOping most rapidly. The investing
membrane OF the eye, which is elastic
at this period of life, yields to the press
ure of the watery contents of the eve
ball, which are increased by continued
application, and the result is the length
ening of the eye, or near-sightedness
What is more, this distention will take
place under an amount Of application,
during the years of early youth, which,
at little later period, would not only
produce no effect, but which might be
increased many fold with impunity.
After the 18th or even 10Th year,
when the investing membrane
of the eye has become firm
and unyielding, over-study may
produce other and graver diseases of
the eye, but it will not produce near
sightedness. From this, it follows di-
recsly, that the simplest, indeed the only
method of preventing an increase in
near-sightedness, if the present high
standard OF instruction is to be preserv-
ed in force, is TO lessen the amount OF
work done by school-children during
the period of life from to 16 years and
to restore the equilibrium, if necessary,
by increasing the amount of study after
that time, or better still, by increasing
the period of time devoted 10 study. Il
is by complying with these conditions,
whether consciously or uneonsciously,
that the English have become so emf
nently literary people, and still, as a
people, so free from myopia. While,
on the other hand, it is the violation of
these laws and their teachings-that is,
by compelling the young of both sexes
to undergo n large amount of study at
a tender age-which has made Germa-
ny, without doubt, the shortest-sighted
nation in the world.

little fellow slipped and fell through the
trestle into the stream below, leaving
the mitten that he wore in his mothers

went out, and the frantic mother waded
up and down and across the stream in
