one Of the 100 round towers to BE- found
near Abbeys. all over the island TneY
are about 1000 years OLD and thsil
origin is unknown. AT Lismore he
visited the duke Of Devonshire's famous
castle. The duke draws $l50,000 per
year from rentals Of bis estate. and
takes care care to spend as little Of it as
possible in Ireland. He also owns
quarter portion of the Black Water
river and the FISH ia il No one can
fish the salmon from it unless they rent
the privilege from the duke. No where
in Ireland can an Individual hunt Or
fish without a license. Wexford, where
the insurrection of 1893 occurred, he
knew when a boy but found things
greatly changed and not for the better.
There weren t as many mills ii opera
ton as when he was there. In speak
ing of this he said: The mills are idle
all over ireland, while native people are
leaving the country a5 the tate of 2 900
per week. IRELAND ought to have q
pre- ent population of 100000, but it
has but 100000. England Wants to
drive the Irish paoplo out, and if he
present outward flow Keeps ny for so
years, there will not be an Irlshmau
left. The only traces of tho Irish PEG
pie, as knew them. T. could recognize,
Is the donkey aud the Kerry cow."
He was present at the election at Car
low, and the onlv fighting he saw there
was done with tongues. Tne broken
heads and disreputable scenes, alleged
by the English papers to have taken
place did not occur. He also saw two
parties of young men engage in little
trouble one Sunday which WaS harmless
in result. YET the English press pub
lished it as being d dlsgraceful row,
were used aud heads crack
ed. The English press paint llish
events TO suit tho disposition Of the
government. AT Dublin he found few
interests. What there
were consisted chiefly in distilAelies and
brewerles. Fifty years ago Dubi1a had
a population Of 254 900. The last CEN
sus fails TO show all increase Dublin
has fine schools. out the education Is
British. Ev1y5hlng is British, aud that
is what the British government wants
it to be. Though Ireland has $50. goo
acres Of coal Land, England finds a lnar"
