Irish Emigration Problems.

How to check the continued tide of
emigration from Ireland is today live
question among Irishmen and their
descendants everywhere. The United
Irish Societies of Chicago, at their an
nual meeting in the city last Sunday.
agreed that something must be done
to prevent the overflow or there would
soon be no Irish men or Irish women
OH the old sod, says the Record-Herald.
Michael Davitt is to be among us in
a short time, and it is expected that
he will advance a proposition the car

ing the problem. The Irish at home

Scotch origin and mixture as welfare
greatly alarmed over the depopulation
of the country and are eagerly seeking
the cause with view to finding n rem
edy.
Various theories are offered, many of
them interesting, some of them plaus-
IDLE, none Of them entirely satisfac-
tory. The only thing that is known
with absolute certainty is that, in
spite OF the remedial legislation of the
last decade OF two, the advance of edu-
cation, the recognized better oppor-
tunities of the people, and the fact
that England is now more than ever
inclined not only to do ample Justice to
the sister island. but to make repara-

spite of the numerous evidences of
better prospects for the Irish in Ire
land, they continue to emigrate by the
thousand weekly.
The census of great Britain, just
completed, shows that for the first time
in history the population of Ireland
has fallen below that of Scotland. It
has just been returned at 4.456.54O.
a decrease within the last ten years
of 24S,204. On the other hand. the
population of Scotland, which in 1891
was 4,O25,647, has increased to 4,471.-
957. The situation thus disclosed is
still more suggestive when it is re-.
called that in 1S41 Ireland had popu
lation of S,200,0O0 while that of Scot
land was only 100000.
The penal laws, religious ana politi-
cal oppression, the unpopular .union
of the country with Great Britain, the
famine of 1S4G-S, the advantages held
out by America and Australia, the
unjust land laws, absenteeism, etc,
have all combined tn account for the
falling off in Ireland's population here
tofore, but to none of these or to COL
lateral causes can be traced the exodus
OF the last quarter of century.
What, then, is the cause of it? The
majority Of the Irish who emigratc in
these days would be far better off
should they remain at home. Ia #

Referring to the hauling down of the
British flag at Skaguay, the Minneap-

their boundary encroachments near
Skaguay, the British ensign was in
its proper place over the Office occupied
by the Canadian representative, and the
pulling down Of the flag is an insult
for which the government may have to
make amends.
