THE boys definition OF the heather as "those who
lido not fight about religion" Is not applicable in
Hindostan The chronic hatred between the orth-
odox Brahmanists and the Mohammedan element In
the population has lately broken out into fierce riots
at Delhi and disturbances elsewhere. The British
soldiers have as much trouble In trying to restore
order between these non Christian sectarans as be-
tween the alleged Christian Protestants and Catho-
lies at Belfast. The Hindoo hatred OF Islam is in-
tenslhed by the fact that like orangeism in Ireland,
1t represents the memory OF past subjugation AMI
suffering II is not surprising, therefore, to learn
that ndoo gave the first provocation at Delhi by
fastening pig In the incosure OF the great mosque,
as deadly an Insult as putting 1t into Hebrew tem-
pie would be. At Bombay Hindoo society has
been formed In avowed hostility to Moslemsm,
which will no doubt be as great a 1rebrand as the
anti-Semtlc movement In Germany and Russia.
This deplorabe tendency to prove fidelity to God
by killing other men shows incidentally one reason
why England conquered india and Is able to hold 1t
successfully with small army. In disunion there
Is weakness and the jarrlng natonalitles and sects
In India Ind 1t easier to submit to an alien power
than to yield supremacy to one Of their number,
and risk the subsequent persecution and civil war.
United, the enormous population of India could
sweep away the English power almost in an instant.
Severed by jealousy race and class hatred and art
fully played OF one against another by English
tuteness, they rvet their own chains, Or to speak
| more justly, sustain the government which seems
| thus far to be most beneficial for them.

TIE LowrHER.LoysDALE FAMILY.
.e Eiitor OF The Sunday Herald:

To the Eif,or Of The Sunday Herald:
SIR Might / be allowed space to correct q most
extraordinary mistake made In your issue OF October
8by the "Lounger on the Avenue" in his notice Of
the Lowther-Lonsdale family?
He tells us that during the long administration OF
Pitt the services Of sail sorts and conditions ofmen'
were called into reausition. From these men OF
"all sorts and conditions" came one "James" Low
ther by name-a man "cunning, plant, and unscru.
pulous as Mephistophes himself" This man, gain
Ing the confidence of his chief, became master OF
"all his secreta." Turning that knowledge to his
own advantage, he was instrumental In the over
throw OF the Prime Minister. He demanded recog.
milton for his usefulness His stained character
must be covered by the cloak OF nobility,
and so the earldom was won. Though It
is not stated In words, we are naturally
led to suppose that this unscrupuous, bad-blooded
man was the head and founder of the Lowther fam
lily. What then, becomes of their unblemshed record
going back six hundred years and more7 Sir Richard
Lowther of the ii me of Elizabeth was the twelfth
successive knight OF his name. He was Lowther Of
Lowther Castle, High Sheriff OF Cumberland, and
Lord Warden Of the West Marches. 1t was under
his roof that Mary Stuart sought shelter on the rs
night of her Night into England. In Lowther Castle
are still preserved treasured relics of this nylng
visit.
Such was the kind and gracious courtesy with
which she was treated that family tradition tells
how on the morning of her departure. she knet
upon the threshold and prayed that Heavens bless
Ing might ever rest upon the house. And II would
seem AZ II the poor Queens prayer were heard and
answered. for In each successive reign fresh honOrs
were heaped upon the house.
In the seventeenth century we md Lowthers NIL
ing high places-Baron OF Exchequer, Chief Justice
| OF Common Pleas and Lord Chancellor. In the
reign OF James l Sir Christopher Lowther was
knighted. Sir John Lowiher was knighted In the
reign of Charles /. In the reign OF william and
Mary a Lowther WAS raised 10 the pserags az
ylscount Lonsdale and Baron Lowther. This VS.
county and barOny expired on the death OF the
Third Lord In 1850. In 1874 Sir James Lowther,
| Fifth Baronei, was created Earl OF Lonsdale and
| Baron Burgh OF Cumberland. That title must also
have become extinct for Ia 1901. the period OF which
the sIounger" writes. Sir william mot James, Low
ther was created Earl OF LOnsdae and elelied H. q.
| The father OF this man, whom "g0d Almighty hia
self could not make gentleman" was u Lieutenant
colonel OF the army and Lord Lieutenant OF Cumber-
land and WestmOreiand-the latter position In llseli
married Frederick Cayendish- -Bentinck, Duke OF Port
land; another married Duke OF Cleveland. Tha
the present Earl and the two brothers whom he has
suceeeded may he guilty OF all, and more, perhaps
than All thai Is told OF them, is possible. hui wh,
visit the slas VI thsse unworthy scons OF u noble
race upon the long iiss Of AoDored ana honorable
men who have gone beforet HISTORY.

by the way, Lieut. schwatka few months before
sailing for Alaska made proposition to the Tribune
to undertake TO penetrate to the region for which Col
Glider is now supposed to be making, and endeavor
to establish the exact geographical location OF the
imaginary electrical pole. believe both the Ameri-

at this time TO determine the precise spot on the

Sir John Franklin ia supposed to have died. The
Tribune, however, did not consider the proposition
favorably.
Anclaboratc story recently published hero In seve-
raj papers describes the exact spot on which stood
Gen. George H. Thomas's tent on the battlefield Of
Chlckamauga on the last day of that battle. Gen.
Thomas saw no tent on that field at all. He didn't
have time to put one up, and the nrst night OF the
battle he slept In John Kellys house, on tho left,
while Gen. Rosecians was In the Widow Green's
house, on the right Both were at Chattanooga the
next night. As for having tent near the Snodgrass
house and resting there on the root OF an old tree
during Longstreets last assault, that was sheer
nonsense. Thomas, like a good many others, In
cudlng Gen. Garneld, during that assault. was get
ting as close to the ground a. he could In deep
hollow behind the ridge, on the other side Of which
Longstreet was charging. II wasn't very safe
place even there. The same spent Rrapeshot which
struck me in the back glanced to my right
and struck Gen. Thomas in the breast with
dull thud and fell to the ground without harming
him. AT that moment Gen. Garfield was sitting be-
hind tree the better to be from the sharp
shooters, while he wrote to Gen. Rosecrans at Chat
tanooga that "all was not lost" As for the "Rock Of
Chattanooga" upon which somebody has painted
Gen. Thomas 40 standing and defyng the enemy,
there were no rocks nearer Chattanooga than Look

venent Gen. Thomas, like sensible man, with the

standing behind them for ne knew at that critical
hour how much depended on himself in getting his
troops safely back to Chattanooga.

We have had an explanation of the nm
satisfactory condition of our streets. Lieu
tenant Grifin admits that they are dirty,
and while he thinks the sweeping is not prop
erly done, he attributes the state of the
roadways chiefly to the lack Of rain. In
other words. ifa storm would come and wash
the dirt of the streets they would be clean.
We are told that sprinkling converts the
dirt into paste, which the sweepers spread
over the surface Of the roadway, and then
the rain comes and washes it away. This is
pretty near being an admission that our
method of street-cleaning is wholly ineffsc.
tive. II the sprinklers wet the filth 1t Ia
spread in an uneven layer over the concrete
what they do not wet is stirred up into q
cloud of dust and driven broadcast. And
after all the money is spent we can only
have clean streets when the rain kindl.
washes the dirt away.

In the death of Mr.. George w. Adams
Washington has met with more than a com.
mon loss. Mr.. Adams's character was OF
such admirable symmetry, and his life 80
smooth and prosperous, that only those who
enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with him
have any adequate conception OF his rare
merits as man. As a journalist he was Of
the type which elevates that most Influential
Of professions. With keen insti net for
news, he always preferred to be truthful
rather than sensational. lie was scrupu-
lously careful In his statements OF fact, and
was never known TO write a malicious or
scandalous paragraph. lie was emphati-
cally man to bs trusted, for he never be-
trayed confidence, and this gave him
free access to many high officers, and stand
ing among the leaders OF administrations and
parties which no one but man OF high dis
cretion and absolute honor could have OBJ
tained. Gifted with most retentive memory,
his knowledge Of current events and recent
political history was very extensive and
accurate, and was often OF great value
70 him and to The journals he served. As a
business man he was clear-headed aud sa-
gacious, and his life was a prosperous one,
but he was always generous and open
handed, and no one was ever more ready to
devote both time and money for good OBJ
jsots. He gave much faithful service TO the
Reform School and took great interest In the
welfare Of the boys there. lie was OF q
soeial nature, most genial companion, and
wss a great favorite with all who enjoyed
his oSaaintanoe. lie was singularly free
from egotiss, and self assertion, and although

An article about the Japanese in San Fran.
cisco speaks about some of them "becoming
"naturalized" in the United States. It seems
to be necessary to repeat an indefinite num-
Der of times that the Law of this country only
allows the naturalization of "free white
"persons and aliens of African ma.
"tivity or persons of African descent"
Absurd as this queer Limitation must
appear, it is the law, and 1t has been
decided that it excludes all Asiatic races,
not Caucasians, and even half-breed In
dian from Canada, while it would admit
Zulu or a Hottentot from the wilds Of
Africa to citizenship, supposing that such
should ever apply. Friendly as we are to
the Japanese. and desirable as they might
be as citizens, it would require new law
or an express treaty to give them the right
to become naturalizsd. The present law Is
color-blind. and recognizes only white and
black humanity, not the variegated tints Of
the rainbow.
