Win the fannie has naturally come
epidemic diseases. TIE mortality from
all sources IL moderately computed a
500 600. Cholera and smallpox especial
ly prevail In Madras and Mysore. The
want Of rains has lowered the wells; the
quantity and purity of the water have
been diminished; and this cause alone
would aggravate cholera. In consequence
of these causes, there can be NO isolation
Of the cases of smallpox, and its ravages
are proportionately multiplied. There
is every reason for believing that the
virulence of both diseases will increase
1t is gratifying to find that there is no
lack of sympathy, either in England or
India, with this extraordinary distress
The condition Of the people Of India is
everywhere spoken of pitifully. They
are described az industrious and patient,
obedient to the law, grateful and loyal.
But the enormous proportions of the
trouble make it very difficult one to
deal with, however excellent the inten-
tons of the authorities. When the task
10 to succor famine-stricken population
of from $4,000, 900 to 10000, 900, there
will be differing theories, and q variety
Of opinions respecting the best method of
proceeding, and this, too, while the emf
nent and pressing emergency hardly
leaves time for debate or for deliberate
decision. It is much easier to consider
the means of averting future famines than
to determine upon some promising
method of confronting present starvation
and the London Times asks the awkward
question whether 'sthere 10 to be less
prudence and less skill in administra-
ton in British India at the present day
than there was In Egypt of the Pharaohs
few thousand years ago2r A discovery
has been made which dissipates the old
dreams Of Oriental opulence- India is
not wealthy in proportion to the populs-
ton she has to maintain" Another dis.
covery is that of her inadequate means
Of transportation. What she most sorely
needs at present, and will always need in
the emergency of famine, is facilities of
communication. This, however, is q
matter for the future. Now, everything
must depend upon the wise activity Of
the principal executives, and there is q
general feeling that interference by the
Home Government would do more harm
than good. ~. =. Tribune. ~
