DjscOuraging Irish Emigration.

q long interview with Bishop O'Conncr Of
Nebraska and Wyoming in which the pre-
late deprecates extensive Irish immigration
The bishop says:
For twO-thirtls OF the people who leave
Ireland as cmigrants to America, the change
means Il misfortune and hardship OF !, most
terrible kind, beside u novel tleyr;,tion more
appalling In the great cities OF the east
Irish newcomers sink daily until they he
come the scum al the population, without
money and without friends. In this con
diti"n they are compelled to do the hard
est and most mc"ia! labor and from this
position they can seldom rise. II they 60
west their prospects are scarcely any bet
ter. In the west there is, Of course, land in
abundance, but this land must now be pur.
chased, and the Irish emigrant has no
money"
In commenting on the surprising declare
tlons made in the interview, the journal
expresses the hope that the statements
may save many 1rishmen from misery and
ruin beyond the Atlantic.
