SEGOND EDITION

— oe ed —— THE Damny EXAMINER.

| Treland’s Cry.

The New York Herald, of Wednesday de- votes a full page to cablegrams from Dub- lin, supplying a ‘‘ Table, showing the se- verity of the Distress in Villages, Tewns jand Counties.” In introducing the re markable statistics the Herald’s correspon- dent says :—

The daily, hourly cry «f distress in Ire- land becomes more and more urgent and widespread. Every day reveals new hor- rors in the catalogue of suffering. The out- leok for the coming imenths is gloomier than any prediction has yet painted. No language can describe the appalling priva- tions, the utter destitution which prevail, but a vivid picture can be found in the statement and figures below. They are un- exaggerated ahd well authenticated.

it is impossible to overdraw the situa- tion, so rapidly do matters become worse. What might have been an exaggeration yes- terday will to-morrow be an underestimate. Three hundred thousand people are slowly starving, and can only be kept alive by superhuinan efferts on the part of their fe!- low creatures. Some of them are living on one meal a day, of turnips or of meal. Thousands inore are consuming their last

potatoes. Local efforts are becoming fee- ble. The people are looking to the world

for succor.

The land agitation haa hidden its head for the moment, the agitators lending a hand in the common cause. Parnell’s at- tack upon the Mansion House and the Duchess of Marlberough funds ia a crime, the responsibility of which no man should take upon himself at this time. The con- fusion thus caused only blinds the eyes of America to the present awful necessities of the Irish peasantry. If Parnell be a true Irish patriot he will sink animosities which every one here deprecates, even his friends and sympathizers, and will become the champion in America of that cause in which all the world is one—the cause of Charity.

The following figures are compiled from the official returns of the local conmittees to the central bodies organized for the dis- tribution of relief in Dublin, as well as from private inquiries made by your cor- respondent. They are vouched for by Pro- testant and Catholic clery, gentry and pub- lic officiala, Further returns are arriving daily in overwhelming numbers.

The return by counties where the chief distress exists show the number ef those suffering to be as follows :—

RATURNS BY COUNTIPS.

Mayo 64,509 Galway 43,260 Sligo e ‘ - . - 2,930 Kerry . - : ; . - 33,100 Donegal ° : . : - 28,000 {oscommen 26,159 Cork 23,896 Clare 19,360 Limerick 7,600 Tipperary ’ ° 6,300 Leitrim . . 5,800 Wicklow 3,600 Monaghan 2,300 Westmeath 1,900 Longford - . 1,875 Kilkenny . 1,790 Total , . - . - $312,370

The accompanying tabulated statement contains an analysis of the actual condition of 250,000 of the persons represented in the above summary. The remarks quoted are tsken from the appeals which pour into Dublin at the rate of thousands daily.

The tables referred to state the number

and the chances of an increase in the pre- vailing destitution, to which are added roinarks quoted from local appeals.”” Thus, in Kildysart, County Mayo, there are ‘300 persons destitute—increase unlikely-—land- lords have refused employment.” 1640 persons are destitute in Milton Malby,in the in the same county, and ‘“‘destitntion in- creasing.” ‘£1,500 persons in Ballyvaughan, rame county ;”’ ‘‘increase likely— great want of clothing.” Of other points in this county we read :—-

“Distress most urgent.”

‘Immediate relief wanted at this awful time.”

‘“‘No employment for able-bodied ; they

are starving.”

In Cork County we read that Skibbereen ‘+3000 persons destitute; w:ll increase 2,000 more ; starving expected.” At Mallow, in in the same County : *‘2,500 persons des- titute; increase likely; avert, if you can, during the coming months, the awful suffer- ings of hunger and cold.” From Droma- league comes the report: ‘1,000 persons ; increasing ; how we are to tide over the next six months God only knows.” And there as such comments as :—

‘‘No language can describe the distress.”

“Starving expected.”

‘‘Seed potatoes eaten by the starving”

‘*People here have nothing to exist upon except charity.”

From Donegal County the reports are of the same tenor. In Dunglow 7,000 are destitute; in Ardsmore and Lower Cruit, / 2,000; in Glencolumbkille, 2,000; in Car- donagh, 1,000 families; and by way of comment, we read such remarke as these:

**750 more are suffering.”

OO fs) S80, to-day, butas many om In Galway County—as niready stated over 45,000 people are destitute. In Moy- cullen, ‘500 persons—increasing atthe rate of 100 a month.” ‘In Spiddal!l, 400 families ; Killeen, 400 families; Oranmore, 180 families; Letterfrack, 360 families ; Carna, 590 families; Roundstone, 1,500 persons; Cong, 1,000 persons; Athenry, 1,000 persons, and so on through a long list of 42 villages and towns. The same story comes from Kerry, Leitrim, Limer- ick, Longford, Mayo, Monaghan, Roseom- mon, Sligo, Tipperary and other counties. Some of the remarks quoted from the lecal reports are very affecting. Thus we read :

Whitegate-—‘‘ Children remain at home from school crying for hunger.”

Headford—‘‘ The prospect gloomier every day.”

Drumgrifiin—*‘ The entire population of 500 families in want.”

Craughwell—‘‘ The people their last potaiees,”

Aughrim—‘‘ Many will be buried before help will arrive.”

Gort—‘‘ Many are actually starving.”

Ballyfornan—‘‘ Two of my people died last week from starvation.”

Johnston—‘‘ We are without food, fire, bed or clothing.”

Croom—‘* Many have been living en tur- nips alone for weeks.”

Killala—‘‘In some cof these families there are eight or ten helpless children,

Achill Island--‘' The people are money, credit and food.

Foxtord—‘‘ 700 families God’s sake send us money er fvod,”

Attymass—‘‘ [ama prisoner in my ewn house, because I cannot bear to hear the stories of the hundreds who surround it, and IT am powerless to give.”

Kilmoree—‘* If not relieved. soon their sufferings will soon terminate.” Adderpole —‘‘ The entire population of 4,000 will soon be starving.” Ballintubber—*‘ Without quick relief the people will die.” Kiltullagh—‘* Many have pawned their clothes and bedding.” French Park——‘* Crowds of hungry per- sons surround iny house daily.” Dysart—‘‘ Seud help or it will he tee late.”

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—In Saturday’s Patrict a correspend- ent boastfully states that ‘“‘the Buard of Fire Wardens was never composed of men better suited for the position than it is at the present time.” It is altogether too soon fora ‘‘ brigade” who have not yet earned their spurs to talk such bunkum about their fitness for a position the duties of which they have not yet been called upon to discharge. Judging, however, the stamina of the men by their chief, one would sup- pose they are not possessed of such piiysical organization as would be essentially neces- sary if called npon to do battle against the Fire King. However it may be unfair to prejudge their prowess at (iis early stage in their history.

correspondent about men ‘*‘ easily aged his fulsome allusions to others of fs kid- ney, are beneath notice. Ope question however, remains unanswered, namely, that in dismissing from the late Board of Fire Wardens, three of its members, those of the City Council whofpave been parties to those dismissals never yet attempted any justification of their conduct. Hence the resignation of the late Beard, composed of meio, at many fires evinced discipline and knuwledge not possessed by the raw recruits now mustered under the able (?) leadership of their new Chief.

To the Farmers of P. BH. Island.

GENTLEMEN,—In the early antumn of last year the writer addressed a letter to the press, in which attention was called to the probability of the potato crop being called a drug for want of facilities to move it to mar- ket. Unfortunately, the fear then expressed has been too well founded, and to-day you have liundreds of thousands ef bushels of potatoes rotting. Within only a fortnight’s sail from this Island thousands of people are suffering from want. In the English and Irish markets to-day potatoes are selling at from 69 cents to $1 per bushel. Here it is hard to get 16 cents forthem. Farmers, if you want to have the benefits of foreign markets you will have toassist. It is no use waiting for foreigners to come here and de- velop the trade of this country. You will have to put your shoulder tothe wheel and pullall together. The few potatoes shipjed to Eurepe last year had to be moved toa great extent by foreign capital; not because jocal dealers lacked enterprise, but because they lacked the cash. Our exceedingly eau- tious financiers expected to make brick with. ont straw. Now, the object of thia letter is not to narrate an unpleasant fact, but te offer suggestions for the future which the writer proposes embodying in a series of let- ters which will be under notice during the next few weeks. Inthe meantime he asks you te suspend action until he has propounded his scheme. Yours respectully,

Henry Coons.
