THE FlJlAN PLAGUE
Starving by WhOIesa'c-
Forty Thousand Deaths in Four



Sydney Australian HeraidJ
Further information from Fiji con-
~eys still darker accounts of the plague
which has recently passed over the new
colony. A resident of long st ndiug,
writing to a Victorian contemporary,
SAYS: THE death rate is not yet made
up. but the probability is that 1000
Fijians died during the four months
plague. The native population of Fiji
is now about one third only of what it
was when l la lded here about twenty
five wears ago." The accounts given
of the magnitude of the disaster are
less narrowing than the snfft.rings of
the victims. Very few died of the
measels, the maj GRITTY dying of subse-
quent disease in the form of dysent-ry.
congestion OF the lungs, etc Want of
nourishment or starvation carried off
thousands" We are told that :" all
work was Suspended for two months"
You could pass through whole towns
without meeting any one in the street,.
which were soon complete y covered
with grass. Entering house, You
could find men, women and children, all
lying down ipdiscriminat ly, some Just
attacked, some still in agony, and
others dying. Some who were strong
enough attempted suicide, and not al
ways unsuccessfui:y. We arc further
told that ''as the scourge became more
permanent four or five were buried to-
gcther in one grave, and generally
without religious service. In some
cases the dead We're buried in tie earth
en- floors of the houses, i'll others Just
outside the house. The burials were
hurried, aud the probability is that
some were buried alive In many cases
the husband, wife and children all
died. In one village all the women
died. and in another all the men," It
is interesting to read of the diff rent
mental effects produced by the torture
of disease. 1t is not surprising that
some made fruitless appeals to the an
cient god. Some island tribes. who
had recently embraced Christianity,
considered that the disease was CON
veyed by their religious teachers. and
they dismissed them and then aband-
oned their new religion. Among these,
some were for killing the teachers, but
their wiser counsels prevailed. 1t is
said that one tribe buried alive one
teachers wife and child, whose hus-
band and father had died of the plague,
to stop the Infection. But while some
in their distress fell back on their for
mer superstitions, the greater number
have borne their calamity with forti-
tude, and have suffered and died
under the influence of christianity.

ONE of the grandest triumphs ever
achieved by the Democracy was wip-
ing from the Statute Book the law au-
thorizing imprisonment of a man for
debt. Until 1888 a man in debt Was
treated AS a felon, and imprisoned in
a common Jail till the debt was paid.
Richard NJ. Johnson, the Democratic
United States Senator from Kentucky
introduced bill in the Senate to
abolish Imprisonment for debt on
judgments taken in the courts of the
United States. After years Of struggle,
imprisonment for such debts was
abolished, through the combined ac-
ton of the Democracy in Congress,
despite the earnest opposition of their
political opponents. Every State fol-
lowed the example set by Congress,
and it is wholly owing to the Demo-
cratic party that men in debt are not
now treated like felons. This scrap
from history, remarks the Cincinnati
Enquirer, is worthy of considera-
ton.
