Marriage In ireland.

Joseph T. PIN, in letter to the Pal
Hal Gazette, disposes of one Of the stock
arguments brought against the Irish peo-
PIE by English writers, namely, that
although they are improyident to the
verge of pauperism, they marry early
and have large families. He contends
that the idea that the Irish have mania
for early marriages is one of the most
prevalent decisions of the day. Legisla
ton ought to be based on knowledge of
facts, not on fanciful ideas. A reference
to the ''Statesman's Year Book" will
show that, according to official figures,
the marriage rate is lower in Ireland
than in any of the principal States of
Europe, and the birth rate lower than in
any save France. He is aware that the
registration of marriages and births is
not altogether accurate in Ireland; but
the census returns cannot be called
in question They show that in 1871
the proportion of the population that
was married was smaller in Ireland
than in either England or Scotland. that
the Irish do not marry at so early an age
as the English and Scotch do, and that
the percentage Of natural increase of the
population between 1851 and 1871 was
only 81 in Ireland against 1874 in Eng
land. The official figures show that on
the last day of 1878 there were in receipt
Of poor relief 30 out of every 900 of
the population in England, ia in Scot
land, and only 16 in Ireland; aud that it
cost for the maintenance of paupers in
1873 Is. 24d. per head of the population
in England, IS. std. in Scotland, and
only IS. Sd. in Ireland. 1t is a question
how far the restrictions on outdoor re-
lief in Ireland account for these differ
ences, and also for the discomfort and
disaffection which have followed on the
distress in the West of Ireland.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-01-25

A letter has been shown the PhIladel.
phis Record bearing date Of Belfast. Ire
land, January 2, 1899. which contains
internal evidence that the present cJndi-
ton of things in Ireland is only repeti-
ton of that of over fifty years ago.
ASIDE from some private matters, the let
ter is as follows: ssThis country, bad as
it was when you left il, is every day
growing worse. Not that food is either
worse TO procure or employment scarcer,
but the he2rtburning persecution that IS
practiced by all the different branches Of
the aristocracy, clerical and lay, con-
trasted with the rising light in the minds
Of the mass and the struggle Of the OPP
pressor to save something whereon to
found fresh corruption IN case Of
convulsion; rsllying all the vices
and ignorance TO be found in or
encouraged by fanaticism or des-
peratiOn; spirit shops multiplying and
each vieing with the other who can col
Iect the greatest congregation for pOliti-
cal or unhallowed controversy, in the
sacred name Of religion, enough to dis
tract the contemplative on-looker if he
forgets for q moment the hand at the
helm, which brings order out Of confu-
sion and steers through the tempest
without missing one point Of its reckon
ing. The child has come to the birth.
but there is not strength enough to bring
forth. Could America send a smart
little armament to the west Of Ireland,
effect landing. and proclaim the soil
and the conscience free and vest the ex-
elusive claim of the cultivator to the soil
on his improvements upon it, in ALI
snce with America Ireland could
not only maintain her own indie
pendence but be an additional security 70
that Of America herself against annoy.
