A BLIGHT ON TYRONE.
Singular Manifestation OF British
MiSrule.

The blight that has fallen upon the
rural areas Of Ireland is still working
sad havoc in Tyrone. Nearly half the
population is Protestant, comprising
the descendants Of the Colonists plant
ed there after O'Ncill had fought and
lost. According to some theorists, II
is the Gaelic nature and the Catholic
religion that arc ut the root of Irish
decadcncc. How do they explain Ty-
rome? Since 1881 the population OF
Tyrone has decreased by the enormous
total of 1852, a decrease Of nearly %
per cent in twenty years. And the Pro-
tcstant population is flying from Ty-
rome in greater numbers than the Cath
Ole. Ten years ago Catholics were
SAG per cent OF the population; now
they are SAT; so that whatever differ
ence there is in the capacity of thr
various elements of the population to
resist the influences that dcprcss them
and the difference Is but Sights
on the side of the Catholic population.
The total decrease in the population
during the past ten years was 2O,S'4,
or 1916 per cent, the highest percentage
of decrease recorded since 1851, save
in 1891, when the rate was 1881.
Nearly one-sixth Of the population dis
appeared during the decade in the dis
tricts of Cloghcr, Trillick and Omagh
rural. And, though the population de-
creases, pauperism increases. Only i
in every 1876 of the population was a
parpcr in 1891 but now in every 81 Is
in that sad condition. The inmates OF
the warehouses; have absolutely i'll
creased in number, though the popu-
lation is ~ per cent less, and the people
in receipt of outdoor relief have nearly
doubled in number. Nor can the towns
resist the blight. Two of them
Omagh and Strabane-show slight i'll
creases in the population; but Cooks
town has decreased by 81 per cent and
; Dungannon by 81 per cent.
The person who hears so much about
the prosperity of Ulster, and does not
accurately understand what that pros
perity means, will be startled to come
upon the statistics of Tyrone. In 1871
it's population was 312,956; now it is
15O567, n decrease of 1G2,3S9 in sixty
years. What the progress Of Ulster
means is that Belfast has added to Its
population in those sixty years about
n fifth of the population lost to the pro-
vince as a whole. 1t is sinister feat
ure Of the present census that popula'
ton goes on decreasing Mt nearly as
heavy a rate as ever, though emigra.
ton has perceptibly slackened. Ovel

sixteen thousand fewer people emigrat-
cd from Tyrone in the decade ending
in 1902 than in tie preceding decade;
yet the decrease in the population in
the latter period was only 5,iS4 more
than in the former. Had emigration
continued at the same rate as in the
preceding decade, the decrease in pop
ulation would have been nearly 20 per
cent. In other words, the population
in Tyrone, as elsewhere, cannot with
stand the drain on its resources with
These are not the only unwelcomc con-
ditions in Tyrone. The state of educa
ton in the county is bad. Over IA
per cent Of the population over five
years OF age are illitcrate. The per-
centage among Catholics is 1879, and
among Protestant EpiscOpalians 11.S.
Nor do the statistics of school attend
ance read as il the population had yet
begun to appreciate the value of educa-
ton. The percentage Of the population
between S and 20 at school during the
week ending May il was only 1914,
percentage which compares with so in
some of the counties of lelnster and
Munster. There is the same mclan-
choy decrease of the child population
in Tyrone as elsewhere in Ireland, out
side a few cities. The decrease in the
population between the ages OF s and
20 is over 1900, or % per cent.
The land of The O'NeiIl has still an
disappearing population. 1t is fairly
holding it's own. While the general pop
ulation decreased, as we have seen, by
over - per cent, during the ten years,

duty by the language. Let us hope the

not merely school-learners.

every other British port and would
stop merciless competition and com
mercial war with foreign nations.
Great Britain and her possessions
with a fence around her 11,2SS,2
square miles of territory and the
world to pay her bills, is the dream of
this visionary but intensely British
Britisher. The long and short of his
proposition is that Great Britain shall
cease to make any entangliug alliances
with other nations, and shall live to
herself alone. She will condescend,
however, to continue to allow other ma
tons to ship goods into her territory
if they pay her sufficient duty, and
with the grand total of revenue which
she would expect to realize from this
source she would expect to make her
possessions bristle with the defensive
guns and fill the seas fuller than ever
with her battleships and torpedo
boats. And the more optimistic are
even hopeful that there will be suffi-
cient left to give John Bull spending
money to relieve the drain incident to
the South African war
This is certainly a very attractive
picture from the Britisher's stand
point, and affords the speculative mind
grand opportunity to think on the
possibilities of such a scheme, but it
is not likely that Uncle Sam or the
kaiser, or the ear, or any other of the
worlds rulers will become panic
stricken and at once propose to capitu-
late to this world-defying proposition.
Not at least while a man named Nor
gan can shake British shipping inter-
ests to their very foundations and
make the bold stroke of bringing them

under his control. Little Japan need
not lose heart and feel that the recent
alliance made with Great Britain is but

eth to himself alone has its application
% nations as we'll as individuals, and
the nation that starts out on the exclu-
sive policy will find itself left way in
the rear of the procession of the ma
ions, both commercially and from a
defensive standpoint.
But, as we have already said, the
proposition of Col. Denison opens new
thought for speculation, and we will
.ndeavor to picture just what it would
mean If Great Britain was able to com
pletely carry out the scheme. First of
all let us take survey of the resources
Of the United Kingdom, India and her
colonies. In the little world of her

Labouchere declares in a recent article
in London Truth that Britain's COM
mercial supremacy is not only threat
ened, but is doomed.
Britain would come nearer realizing
the dream of Col. Denison in her fight
ing strength on the seas than in any
other particular, but Germany and
Russia are making rapid strides in in
creasing their navies and France al
ready ranks second in naval strength
in the world, and would be a formid-
able foe for even Britain to meet. The
latter has 50 battleships and eight
building; France 25 and two build
ing; Russia, 10 and five building;
Germany II and seven building; United
States ten and eight building, and
Japan seven. Great Britain has 125
cruisers and IS building; France 81
and eight building; Russia, Is and five
building; Germany, 16 and four build
ing; United States, 25 and Is building;
Japan, 20 and two building. From
these figures it can be seen that if it
was a case of Great Britain against the
world she would have a pretty lively
llhiO VI IL LII SSeh1LS " u-
premacy of the seas and protect her
possessions which girdle the earth.
But right here is where the nice
feature of Col. Denison's scheme is
proposed to work wonders for his
united country. 1t is his purpose
to have the revenues collected from
other nations go to pay for the de-
lenses against the world and make
them invincible. In land forces the
British empire would make a poor
showing against the world She
could muster in her various branches
of the military service an aggregate
of 7S3,541 fighting men. Russia has
a standing army of over a million,
and with all her reserves called out
in case of war would be able to put
into the field fully equipped for ac-
tive service over 1000, GOO men. If
this vast army should sweep down
upon India the fence which Britain
proposes to erect around her possess
sions, would avail nothing and India
could be painted another color on
the maps.
