well enough TO talk about these things
under ordinary circumstances; hut for
the present the people of the United

wanted now is action. A military force
should cross the Rio Grande and occupy

From statements made at a public
meeting in Madras the other day, it ap.
pears that the famine area in that part
of British India has population of
eighteen million people. Nearly all the
food consumed in that district is i'm.
ported from less afflicted regions. 0ne-
twelfth of the whole population are fed
by the government, and the sanitary
commissioner OF the province is respons
sible for the appalling statement that
no less than halfa million have perished
from actual starvation or the privations
they have suffered 1t is not strange
that the people and the local autbori-
ties, after wrestling alone with the terri
BILE scourage for a year or more, have at
length felt impelled to call upon the
charitable people Of England for assist
ance. According to one of the speakers
at the meeting. anaore people were
found dead IN single morning in Maei-
ras than had died in the whole Bengal

Life 50 Caeap IN Lamar County-Nu-
other Score Of Riood Letting

From a special correspondent Of Tns
HERALD in Paris, we are in possession OF
the news of another bloody encounter
and murder in Lamar county. Last
spring man by the name of Thanks,
with his wife, rented a farm from a
bachelor named Payton, living seven
miles northwest OF Paris. They occu-
pied Payton's residence and boarded
the proprietor. ALI went lovely, aud il
was thought they We're happy family,
as all the parties stood high in the esti-
nation of the neighbors. All was not
right within, however, as the sequel
shows; for Thanks il is alleged, noticing
the familiarity existing between Payton
aud the partner of his joys, suspected
that all was not right. Last Tuesday
evening Thanks and Payton auarreled
about the relationship existing between
the suspected parties, and Payton seized
a gun and deliberately shot thanks. in
his own room, killing him in a short
time. Payton endeayored TO escape.
but was captured and locked up by the
officers of the law. On his preliminary
trial the judge refused to admit him to
bail, and he awaits in Jail the course of
the law. This being the third murder
IN the county in short time, the people
are quite indignant.

UNDER the present liberal, capable and
humane management of the state peni-
Tertiary we can see no possible reason for
calling for bids and re-letting the lease
at present. On the contrary, in view Of
the fact that the contract and bond
must be accepted by the legislature, and
any lease now made is liable to be re-
jected, We can see how the present con-
tract with Burnett kirkpatrick should
be permitted TO stand for at least year
longer, giving time before the meeting
of the next legislature to award the con.
tract permanently, providing the legis-
lature can ratify the contract made.
Why the present lease should be torn
up, and new and temporary one en-
tered into with other parties we are at
loss to see. We trust Governor Hub
bard viii consider the..matter well bes
fore calling for bids. The people uni
versally ratify his bestowal of the con-
tract where it rests now, and viii en-.
dorse warmly its continuance. Securi.
ty, humanity and effectiveness il what
they look for in the lessees.
