The extreme moderation of the Belgian rail
way tariff at present can only be appreciated
upon comparison. A tirst.clAss passenger who
travels sixty miles by rail psys in Germany
about 81. in France about s. so, and in Belgium
$l45. Travelling third-clAss, you pay in
Germany 81, in France $I.35, and less than 80
cents in Belgium. The contrast is still more
favorable to the latter country if, as Is usual
on the Belgian lines, return or excursion tick
cts are used. Turning to freight charges, we
tind that a ton of merchandise (not includin z
coal) pays for sixty miles tran port over Ger
man roads from g IS to 81 90, for the ane ex-
tent of carriage over French lines from $l.35
to 1920, while in Bel GUM the rates range, &C.
cording to the nature Of the freight, from a
minimum of 90 cents to q maximum of$2 10. We
need not point out what advantages are th uS
insured TO native producers, As compared with
those of the neiEhboring countries.

| them. I wanted at least to save the most
| abandoned children, and bought for that pur-
ceives now daily for the value of about two
cents that is barely half enough to still
their hunger. yet enough to save them from
rupies worth of rice for the other parts OF my
| district. This small, very small provision
| will last till the beginning of jane, at which

! in my life, since I have had to view daily SO
much suffering.
The above gives extracts from the letters
of those devotAd missionaries, which, for
the sake of revity, we bave had to curtail,
con tain, it seems to US, ta'e of sorrow and
misery which needs no further commentary.
The only practical questions which we here
venture to propose is: Could nothing oe
done, or rather ought not something to be
done for these poor, unfortunate people of
the far East in America, or at least in Ne,s
Orleans, which is known for it's proverbial
charity whenever occasion offers to prac-
tice this most excellent of virtues Making
distractions of the temporal relief which an
assistance from this source would afford,
ought not the spiritual results, which are
to be derived from a charity given in this
cause, to be a sufficient motive appealing to
the heart of every Christian Here
we meet with thousands of pagans desirous
to be instructed in the truths of Christian
ity aad ready to embrace the Faith of the
one, true and living God. 1t is within our
means to procure this Incompatible bless
ing TO them, or at least to some of them, by
contributing a small aims, the aggregate
amount of which would create a small
fund, with which many Of those poor
creatures could be saved bodily and spirit
ually. 1t may be objected that we have
enough poor at home to support. True
that charity we'll regulated commences at
home, bat this rule does not prevent it from
being extended also to other parts of the
world.
This famine in India is calamity of such
magnitude and 30 unprecedented, that it
calls for extraordinary help. Seldom also
does An opportunity offer itself where we
can, by a small material assistance, CO.
operate in 30 direct q manner to the exten
sion of the Kingdom of jesus Christ, as in
the case of this famine in India.
The Editor of the MORNING STAR has
consented to open subscription list in its
columns for the famine stricken districts in
Southern Indi a. The amounts bus collected,
however small, will be duly acknowledged
in the paper and forwarded directly to
ose of the missionaries referred to above,
through the care of Catholic clergyman
of this city having direct communication
with India and knowing some of the mis-
sionaries personally. '"'

The Burials Question.

The London press and public are now'
profoundly agitated over the question of
where and how people shall be buried.
This may be an indication that the world ia
about coming to an end, iffit implies that,
all topics of importance to the living bav-
| ing been discussed and settled, the onward
food Of public interest has finally reached
the graveyard. 1t is at any rate strenu
ously maintained that it is an indication of
the approaching end of the Eoglish Church
establishment.
1t seems that the public buryiug grounds
have been hitherto monopoiized by the
State Church, and that now other sects
are claiming the right to use them. In
support Of this claim they urge that all
| other public places are open to common
use, no distinction being made between
saints and sinners, believers ana unbe-
levers. Why should the dead be dscrim-
mated against. We hardly know how the
! chuTchmen have answered this poser, but
they certainly have been hammeriDg away
at it unit. public opinion is arriving at the
point of red heat. the London Times asserts
that the next sessou OF Parliament viii GER
tainiy pass bill opening the public ceme-
terles to the public.
Thereupon another mighty question su-
pervenes Will the established clergy be
obliged to otsiciase over the bodies of men
who did not belong to their fsithf The
Times actually holds tha. they will be
obliged so TO do, on the theory that every
Englishman mus. be construed to be q
member of the English Church, just as lie
is OF the English nation, unless he has
repudiated it by visibly joining some other
sect, as be may repudiate English citizen
ship by becoming naturalIEed in another
country. This assumes that mem bershiI
of tie Church is civil matter, not a re
ligious one. Tie curate says: that man
was not member of the Church ; the law
says: be wac.
Whose business is it to knowf
TIE answer to which is that the union OF
Church and State is in modern times con.
strued as a partnership, in which the side
that furnishes the money lie senior partner
The senior partner generally assumes theo
logical jurisdiction, and coolly threatens {
dlssolution of the partnership if the junior

Protestant countries the 'State Church
