FERMANAGH.
Mr.. T. w. Russell, in recent
speech he delivered, at Irvinestown,
to the Protestant farmers of North
Fermanagh, pointed Inadvertently,
perhaps), the moral of the Coercion
list outburst i'll the West. 1t is very
old moral. Reform is delayed until
the condition of the people becomes
unbearable then there is agitation,
met by splenetic and futile attempt
to 'drive discomfort beneath the sur
face" and, then when too late, comes
the attempt at concession and concil-
iation. Mr.. Russell has no doubt of
the result of the struggle now pro-
ceeding in Roscommon and through
out the Western Province. AS the
Land Act of 1881 followed the Land
League; as the Land Acts of 1887 and
1891 We're produced by the Plan of
Campaign; so the establishment of
peasant ownership and the distribu-
tion of the empty ranches of the West
will follow the present agitation. Re-

GALWAY.
The London Gazette having pub
lished the official announcement that
Arthur Lynch, Esquire, had been re-
turned as Member of Parliament for
Galway, the London correspondent
Of the Irish Times observes, OH the
matter, that the election of Colonel
Lynch for Galway Borough will at
tract the attention of the Commons
at the earliest possible moment. The
Speaker will be asked for his ruling
as to the eligibility of the newly
elected member to take his seat. The
legal aspect of the affair is being care
fully gone into. There is a certainty
of another contest, even though the
Nationalist will not move for the
writ.
KERRY.
On Dec. list the funeral Of Mr.. Tim
othy Corcoran, of Listowel, who had
died a few days previously, after a
comparatively short illness, took place
and was largely attended by the
young men of the town, with whom
the deceased was general favorite.
Mr.. Corcoran was for a number of
years connected with Mr.. Gibson's
drapery establishments in Tralee and
Listowel, and during his heightened
connection with both towns was ex-
ceedingly popular with all with whom
he came into association.
LOUTH.
For several years past, on each
Christmas, Mrs. William O'Brien has
thoughtfully remembered the Mass
Greene evicted tenants, and, through
Mr.. Peter Lynch, J. p, annually dis
tributed f25 to them. Prior to leav-
ing for long voyage with Mr..
O'Brien, recently, Mrs. O'Brien sent
letter to Mr.. Lynch, from her resi-
dence, near Westport, county Mayo,
enclosing her usual Christmas present
for the victims of eviction. The Mass
Greene tenants feel deeply grateful
to Mrs. O'Brien for her kindness, and
