GALWAY.

In the recent reports of the distress in
the west of Ireland, the tenants on the
estates Of Finnvarrax Doovas, Kinvarra,
and other districts Oh theeGalway sea-
board are describedsaB in most pitiable
plight. AS usual hengovernment seem
determined to do nothing until it is ird-
possible tor do an7thfng effective; ana
the landlords, with few honorable ex-
ceptions, seem resolved to compel the
people who have no food to pay rent. It
is to be hoped that public shame at least
may move the landlords to moderation
and stir the government to active effort.
# not, and it the present actuei distress
deepens in these districts into actual
famine, on the harsh landlords and a
callous government must rest the GRIM
inal responsibility.
The condition of the people of Ross
muck. Maam Cross, Is described by all
the newspaper correspondents as most
woeful.' The potatoes are nearly all rot
ten; the local shops are no longer able
to afford the people credit for even the
poorest food. If immediate relief be not
Forthcoming, the people must not merely
denude their farms of their little stock,
but must eat or sell the insufficient sup
ply of potatoes they have reserved for
seed, thereby rendering themselves UNI
able to SOW their farms for the coming
year. 49,

Capt. F. NJ. Welch, the invete-
rate railroad builder, came up from
Alexandria Wednesday, and in
company with Capt. l.. Caspari,
Maj. r. B. Hollingsworth and
Clerk of Court H. M. Hyams, he
left Thursday for horseback sur
vey of the proposed route of his
railway from this point to Shreve-
port.
Their route will be confined to
the bottoms, and running between
the Bayou Pierre and Red river.
will tap one of largest, most pro-
ductive and most highly cultivated
bodies of land in the valley.
Capt. Welch assures US that if
this side OF the river presents ad-
vantages equal to those he saw on
the east side, which he has already
surveyed, he will be ready in q few
days after the trip to make us a
definite proposition looking to the
of a railroad through
it. We are quite sure that the
Capt. will find the advantages on
this side the river to far outnum-
Der and outweigh those presented
by the east bank of the river.
Hence we have much hope of
securing this important road, and
getting into direct connection with
Shreveport, st. Louis and all the
northwest, and with Alexandria,
batonB Rouge, New Orleans and

Tha advantages to us from this
'oadEill be incalculable, and we
should put forth every effort to Sc
'ure 1t, or to help it along.

}. L. PERoT was born Septem-
Der Sth, 1860, and departed this
life on July 22nd, 1897, at his
home near Campti, La.
This good man and sympathizing
friend of the needy has gone from
us, and into that blissful abode
where rest is eternal. Of him it
can be said that he was self made
man.
While in his fourteenth year his
father died.. leaving him to earn
his own money upon which to get
an education.
AS an earnest christian he upheld
the Catholic faith, Of which church
ne was a member. As citizen he
was true to his country, support
er OF good government, and hold
ING for years posititions of public
honor and trust in the community
in which he lived.
AS a neighbor he was ever ready
to assist in restoring peace and or
der, and administering unto the
needy. AS a father and husband,
he was indulgent and kind.
The deceased leaves an old moth
er, a brother, a sister, wife and
SIX small children to mourn their
loss.
For consolation, We can only
point to Him who doeth all things
well, and to the thought that they
with all those who serve Him may
meet IN that eternal home.

Successful Experiment.

1t isa remarkable thing that in
the Australian colonies the princi-
pie OF public ownership seems to
have fourished to a larger degree
than elsewhere.
South Australia has full adult
suffrage, for women as well as men,
while in New Zealand the women
may vote, but may not sit in Par
lament or become cabinet minis
ters, as in the other colony. New
Zealand's labor laws would be re-
garded by American manufactu-
rers as dangerously Socialistic and
oppressive to capitalistic freedom.
New Zealand also has a progress
slve income tax, progressive land
tax, an absentee tax Zone in the
United States would hit such men
as William Waldorf Astor); a rad.
lcal system Of state control of the
land and a successful system of
settling disputes between an indi-
vldual and the state as to the valu
alton OF land for taxation by which
the former, if be thinks the valu-
alton too high, can force the state to
6uy the property. Besides, New
Zealand lends money on free holdse-
curity in competition with private
mloney-lenders ; it is the chief ma
tlonal insurance company, and the
state also lets small holdings Of
from twenty to fifty acres on per-
petual lease to persons to whom
money is advanced for all their
earlier expenses, with nothing but
the improvements they effect as
Z: security. This experiment, says
