IRELAND IN CLASP
OF AWFUL FAMINE
Conditions In Western Counties
Beyond Comprehension.
LANDLORDS MEANEsT IN WORLD

Mar Will Starve to Death Unless
ol ide Aid Is Forthcoming-Ire-
land Suffering More Than Any Time
in Past Fifty Years.
London, Jan. 9.-From reports, ar
irving daily from the famine-stricken
counties of western Ireland, it ow
certain that the failure of the potato
crop will plunge those distric:s into
mg 8 bitter and acute distress than
ras been experienced IN half cen
tury.
n spite of the sneering references
to the impending period of want by
the government organs, it is known
that the relaxation of what the condi-
tions in the stricken districts will be,
is complete enough in England to in
Spire an unusual amount of prepara-
tion for it's relief
That such relief, even when it is
combined with that to be afforded by
the more prosperous sections Of Ire
of the situation is clearly saown ty
those who have recently visited the
counties of Connaught, C0nnemara aid
Meath. While it IS admitted that
the full effects OF the failure OF the
potato crop will not he felt until the
end of January, the misery, want and
suffering among the people Of the af.
fected districts are already very great.
Comparatively destitute in their,
most prosperous seasons, the condi.
tions Of the poor tenants of the patch.
es of clay land betw cen the boulders
Of the western counties Is beyond the
comprehension Of those who are accus.
toned to see the lowest mark Of des.
titution registered by poor clothing
and insufficient food.
While the cattle belonging to the
wealthy landlords are fattening on the
fertile tracts of pasture land, from
which the tenants have been driven,
the tillers Of the arid patches and their
families are actually starving. Starv.
ing, too in the very beginning of their
winter, with their crops a total fail
ure, and the only chance Of continued
existence lying with the relief com.
mittees and board of guardians, who
have admitted their inability to sue.
cessfully deal with the situation.
The auctioneer, who fills the place
C sub-sheriff in Meath, advertises in
one issue of the local papers some
1000 acres of grass land and the sale
of some few farms. Here the finest
land in creation is half rotten for the
want of drainage, the hedges, un.
trimmed and growing into the fields,
the thistles and the nettles f1ourishing.
What a dreadful picture it presents!
But while the problem awaits solution
the poor must not be allowed to
starve.
The landlords of the west are the
meanest, hardest, cruellest of all. No.
where are such ruthless blood suckers
to be found They have crowded the
people out into the barren places md
have left whole stretches of fertile
land under the herds or hogs. Those
who have seen the wretched land on
which the people live are amazed that
any one would think of extracting
money from people who raise living
from such soil. Yet out OF the poor
lands of Connaugh almost a Wilton ID
taken in rent.
