THE fearful character of the famine
in India can hardly be comp ehended
in this country. According TO Lord
NOrthbrooke, Viceroy of India, thirty
millions o; people are in deep distress,
and t;x millions Of people are tbroxn
upon our hands to save or let perish"
OF course, the famine has been fore
seen, and for months the Government
has been busy with measures of relief.
1t is confidently asserted that sufficient
food is on hand. The great trouble is
lack Of carriage. Still, money can do
much, and England stands ready to
pour ort money with desperate lavish
ness. Private subscriptions are being
called for, in England and Hindostan,
to supplement Government grants
Queen Victoria unwisely headed the
London subscription with G1 900. No
native henceforth dare to give more,
les, be should insult his sovereign. At
a meeting held in Calcutt. on the 4th
inst. statistics Of the famine at that
time were read. In the Providence of
Tirhoot, one million people out Of the
four million population will have to be
entirely supported for several months.
Altogether. the Patna Division will
hare one and halt million recipients
Of relief. In other quarters the out
look is as gloomy. In many places the
people have but one meal a day
:" They are anxious, but wonderfully
patient" Even the higher classes
arc forced to ask Go7ernment aid.-
Everything within mortal power is
being done to carry that aid where
ever it is needed. But with the best
efforts, it is quite certain that very
many will perish.-Pnts6urgh Gasstfe.

How the Ladies Elected a Cold
Water Tickc I'm Iowa.

! The ladies of Atlantic, Iowa, have
set a good example to the crusadiug
women in the matter of breaking up
the whisky business. Evidently be-
lieving that there is as much efficacy IN
work as in prayer, they took advantage
of the annual city election on Monday
last, stormed the polls and successfully
carried them. The mOduS operdndi was
very simple. In the first place, during
the campaign, they demanded officers
who would not grant saioOn-liceDses
and, to ciiDch the matter, they held
caucus and put true blue, cold water
ticket in nomination. Then they got
pledge for the signature of voters who
would abide by and support the nom
nations. They circulated this freely
and got sufficient signatures for nu
cleus to the good work. Having done
this, they prepared themselves for the
fight. Promptly at 7 o'clock on Non
/ day morning they were on the ground,
and they stayed there until the polls
closed at night. They hired the vii
Isge brass band, and it discol.sed most
excellent temperance music, none of
the players taking horn during the
day. The only hand-organ in the vii
lage was also subsidized, and ground
Its mournful musical modicum steadily
| from barrel which had never been
tainted with liquor. The buildings of
the tcwn we're decorated with flags and
banners. The ladies peddled the tick
cts, and, when the voting Jagged, they
talked and sang. Thus the day wore
on, and when the polls closed the tired
women took carriages and went home
The result of their work was that their
ticket was elected entire by fifty ma
jnrity. Thus, BY one Gays good honest
work they routed their enemy, and will
not be annoyed with him for a year
longer at least. The victory is sug
ges,ive one to those who are engaged in
tie temperance business wherever a
municipal election is pending. There
is no more .fectife way to dispose of
whisky than to vote it down. Itis bet
ter than closing up saloons and pouring
whisky into the streets, because new
ones NAV open again. 1t is better than
getting drunkards to sign pledges, be
cause they may break them. The ia
dies Of Atlantic have gone to the foun-
tain-beld and sealed it up. The victory
they have won is legitimate one. -

The Temperance War.

NEW YORK, March l0.-A large
temperance meeting was held tonight
at the Brooklyn Academy of Music,
under the auspices of the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence Union. RI. Rev. Blsh-
op LaughlIn and about twenty Of his
clergy were present. Rev. Or. Treet
and Rev. VIM. Keegan made strong
addresses, stirring the people to activ-
ity in the temperance crusade. Twenty
temperance societies, numbering about
3OO0 people, were present.

about the usual experience. About
forty places were visited, but no sigma
lures we're OBTAINED to the dealers

visited the saloon and grocery keepers
frankly told the women their visits wer,
getting to be nuisance and must be
stopped. At several places tie women
were refused permission to pray on the
sidewalks.
DAYTON, Ohio. March l0-The cru
saders to day, in detachments of TWEEN
ty each, visited thirteen saloons on
Fifth and West Thirty eighth streets.
A large and turbulent rabble folio Sed
them, and TIE uproar at times was deaf
ening, and the voices Of prayer aud
song were inaudible. Rioald jests
we're banded about by the outside mob
with indecent loud talk and swearing.
Crowds of beer dri; kers pressed into
the saloons and drank as fase as they
could, mocking the pray ing women with
loud blaspherry and louder baccnana-
iian songs. Even women Joined in the
ribsldry, and at one place flung out
pieces Of bologna sausage and pretzels
among the crusading women, who meek
y bore these insults and persisted and
prayed.
The band which wen to West Thirty
eighth street passed the corporation
line to the saloons where the veterans
from the Soldiers Home mostly con-
gregate, and being beyond police pro-
lection were subjected to shamful in
suits of bummers. The tendency OF
such Infamous conduct is TO infiame the
public mind. This was demonstrated
to night by the greatest temperance
mass meetings yet held. A mass OF
people crowded into the First Presoy-
teriau , hurch till no standing room re-
manned. The Insults which had stung
the women TO the quick were merely
reported, and the effect was to waken
up the feeling and to make the crusa-
ders more determined than ever. The
police labor patiently aud heroically to
protect the women and preserve the
peace, but their task is difficult and
delicate The work will be resumed
tomorrow.
New YORK, March 10 All the
liquor saloons in Greenville, Darks
county, Ohio, are closed, the result Of
two weeks crusading. There is great
rejoicing there.
