FATHER PHELAN
Says the Condition of Irish Peasants
Is Growing Better.


Father Phelan, editor of the West
ern Watchman, who is now travelling
in Ireland, has an Interesting and en-
couraging word to say about condi-
tions in Ireland. He writes:
Before starting for Killarney 1 must
tell you of some favorable impressions
received from the general appearance
of thrift and comfort on every hand.
They have built laborers' cottages all
through Ireland atSthe expenses of the
county governments and assigned to
each man who makes application
house and an acre $of land to cultivate
This is the way they do it. They club
together to bring their produce to
market. One man has a larger cart
or horse and he takes his own and
his neighbor's truck to the city. In
this way they accomplish what the
Swedes have done and they are now
the greatest competitors of the latter
in the butter and egg markets. Be-
fore, a poor woman would travel miles
e bring hessst ltb market; now,
~ !ll ssscomb,n.,-,.',
a heavily-laden cart goes to the mar
ket or creamery of the district and a
good market is found for their little
produce. Irish butter is excellent, as
can bear witness; and it is bringing
25 cents pound in the Cork market.
Speaking of the evidence of thrift,
I must say that the priests inform me,
and personal observation bears them
out, that, the Irish common people
here do not drink as they did I did
not see a man or woman in Ireland
drunk so far. This is a great cause
of rejoicing; for drink has ever been
the curse of ireland, as of Scotland
and England. There is no hope for
these people until they stop drugging
their woes in alcohol. One reason of
this change is the renewed hope of
the people. A beggar never puts any.
thing away. If he does, he is a fraud
The poor Irish have just risen from
beggary, and before long they will be
a thrifty people.

Religious exercises. consisting of
the reading of the Bible, singing and

The decison was the conclusion of
the case Of the Catholic residents of
Winchester, Scott county, who pro-
tested against religious exercises in
the schools of that county in which
their children were compelled to join.
They applied for a writ of mandamus
requiring the board of education to

The lower court denied the petition:
but the Supreme Court upholds their
contention and directs that the writ
