The hundreds of attendants are PAID
four roupees a month (S1.29), and py
the time they board and clothe them
selves there is not much for their tamil
lies out of four cents day.
The average wages per day IN lndla
are from 3 to 5 cents-prices not at all
exorbitant when one considers that most
of the men raise large families, pay
house rent. etc., to say nothing OF lux
uries, such as betel nut. Even with
these prices of, say cents day, the
people are happy and contented, and one
never hears of trades unions nor strikes.
Besides these ample stables the raJah
has 25 huge Indian elephants for excur-
sions. These noble beasts are about
twelve feet high and of enormous size.
car is strapped on the elephants back
and whole family rides on one animal.
To mount an elephant is quite a task.
The animal is made to kneel, and then,
into the car on its back as il it were a
house. When one is comfortably seated,
with the shade drawn to keep off the
sun, the elephant swings off at an easy
gate of 20 miles an hour. One of these
elephants was richly caparisoned with
gold embroideries; his ivory tusks were
set with Jewels and clasped with golden
bands, for he was one of the prince S
favorites.
The maharajah also keeps another lot
of elephants, which we did not like the
looks Of These are the fghters--huge,
powerful fellows, with sharp tusks and
vicious eyes. They are trained to tight
anything and everything, but especially
the wild elephants in the mountains.
They charge at them with full speed,
and plunge their tusks into their antag-
onists and gore them to death. An
elephant fight is royal sport in India,
and not to be missed if one has the
opportunity toEwitness one.
Jeypore is also famous for its enamel
works and the cutting and setting of
other precious stones found in the state.
The native school of design is exceeding
ly interesting Here children are sent
as apprentices for five years before they
can earn anything but the work they do,
in copper or brass is unexcelled in any
part of the world.
They sit on the ground, with piece OF
brass held by the toe, small hammer
held in one hand and small piece OF
steel in the other, and with these crude
instruments they will hammer and ham
mer until they finish a highly ornamental
vase or cup, the equal of anything we
saw in any other country.

The only purpose that could have in
spired the introduction of resolutions in
behalf of Edward Murphy into the New
York electoral college, was desire to
humiliate Cleveland. Murphy's election
is already certain, and of course the res
olution could not have been needed to
advance his candidacy. But for the
same men who voted for Cleveland for
President to endorse for the. senatorship
a man whom Cleveland pronounces un-
fit, Murphy's friends saw would be a
singing rebuke to the President-elect,
and so they pressed their resolution and
passed it.

Our Roman Catholic brethren do not
seem to be dwelling together in unity
any more than our Protestant brethren.
The coming of the Papal legate commits
stoned to settle all disputes, instead of
bringing peace, as was intended, seems
to have precipltated aquarrel between
the radical and the liberal elements of
the church. If the newspaper press can
be relied on Archbishop Satolli has re-
Gently characterized document sane
toned by Archbishop Corrigan as
'ignoble,' ''vile,'' ''reprehensible be-

pears that Archbishop Ireland is pre-
pairing charges against the Archbishop Of
New York, while the latter is seeking to
undermine the italian legate by anony-
nous communication through the pa
pers and by inspired attacks upon HIM
in distinctly Catholic organs. The
elect when they get to fighting seem to
use about the same weapons that the
worlds people are in the habit of re-
sorting to.

Referring to the proposed listing sys-
tenn, the State assessors say ''It is hard
to make a truthful man out of liar by
legislative enactment" The listing
system is worse than that. 1t sets a
premium on dishonesty. 1t Furnishes a
man for telling the truth. and rewards
him for lying. The inevitable effect of
such system must be to debauch the
public conscience, and that effect it has
always had. The State of Illinois has
the listing system in all its beautiful
simplicity. Heavy penalties are infict-
ed for failing to make returns, and
heavier ones for false swearing. What
has been the result? Let clergyman
of that State who was recently inquired
of on the subject, answer: "The tax
law of Illinois," he says, ''is farce and
the system an abomination. Our asses
sor, an honest German, says it would
be better not to have any law than the
present one, and that the assessors
could do better without it.'' Before the
law was passed the assessed valuation of
personal property in the State was $151,-
100000, now it is only Sl43, 900. 900, and
yet meantime the population of the
State has increased 100000, and nobody
doubtsSS but the personal property has
greatly increased also. Here is a loss in
assessed personal property of $S,000,000,
right in the face and eyes of the listing
system.

LIFE IN THE CITY OF JEYPoRE.
Five Cents a Day for Workers, Millions
for the Rajah, and He Isn't Kicking.
[san Francisco Ch onicle.]


Jeypore is the capital and residence of
one of India's wealthiest princes. The
maharajah's estate covers $4,000 square
miles, and has population of 100000
souls. The city of Jeypore is encircled
by crenellated wall, with seven gate
ways. These are well guarded during
turbulent times in India. The city is
typically Indian, with crowded streets
and bazars.
In the centre are the maharajah's pal
ace, beautiful gardens and pleasure
grounds, adorned with fountains, tropi-
cal trees, plants and Towering shrubs.
The palace and grounds occupy one-
seventh of the walled city, and are
surrounded by a high embattled wall
built by Jey Sing when he left Amber.
One of the interesting sights in Jey-
pore is the observatory built by the Gel
ebrated royal astronomer and founder,
Jey Sing. 1t is one of the largest in
India, and is remarkable even to this
date on account of the many curious
instruments--dials, gnomons, quadrants,
etc.-built of solid stone. Some of these
astronomical instruments are hundreds
OF feet in height and in diameter, and of
great interest to astronomers. Many of
the instruments are unknown to scien-
fists of the present day, although they
served the purpose of Jey Sings won
derfully accurate calculations and
observations.
The royal stables are also of consid-
erable interest These cover perhaps
ten acres of land, with stalls on each
side and large exercise grounds in the
centre. There are several hundred of
fine horses, some of choice Asian blood
from all parts of the country, of various
build and color, from the finely spotted
Arab to the graceful, delicately limbed
Deecan, the fleet footed, Punjaub mares,
and blood-bay English troopers.
Each horse has a special attendant,
and each ttendant-knight of the horse
has several servants. Each horse is
double quilted, although the tempera-
ture ranges from 9Oo to l2Oo Fahrenheit.
All of them are too much blinded or
hampered, and most ruinously fat. They
stand upon clean dirt, in spacious stalls.
Each horse is tied, not by its head OF
neck, as we do, but by its feet. Around
the fetlocks are fastened leather bands,
to which ropes are attached, SO that the
animal can neither paw, strike nor kick
The ropes for the hind feet are fastened
to stone pillar some twenty feet away.
II, in spite of this, these noble animals
will surge about, lateral ropes are fas-
tened to each foot, so the poor creatures
cannot move in any direction more than
six inches. Should they still be uneasy,
a large hood is drawn over their heads
and eyes to keep them quiet. The horses
are fed on mixture of meal, brown
sugar and butter, which makes them as
plump and fat as porker--regular roly-
poly ponies, used much too little. Sew
eral of the finest are kept constantly
saddled and richly caparisoned, to be
ready at moments notice, for the prince
brooks no delay--anything he wants
must be supplied at once.

All our prohibitory statutes from the
very beginning have recognized that in
toxicating liquors have certain legitimate
uses, that they are needed in some of
the mechanical arts and for medicine.
All Of them have provided too for the
sale of liquor for such purposes. This
has been done by means of state agen-
cy and various town agencies. The bill
to allow apothecaries to dispense liquor
for medicinal purposes, contains there
fore no new admission. 1t surrenders
no principle whatever. 1t sets up no
new theory with regard to the States at
titude toward intoxicating liquor. The
only question it raises is whether the
recognized need of liquor for certain
purposes can be met better through the
arrangement proposed in this bill or
through the present system of state and
town agencies. Of course the problem
is how to supply liquor needed for legiti-
mate purposes without opening the door
forillegitimate sales. 1t is patent to
everybody that the agency system
has not solved this problem. In the cities
at least they have proved to be dispensa-
ries of liquors for all sorts of pur-
poses. Their sales for legitimate uses
have been but an insignificant fractio
of their aggregate sales. Having failed
to solve the problem by the agency plan,
it is now proposed to try another, which
is outlined in what is known as the drug
gists' bill. To speak of this bill as a
blow to the prohibitory aw is all non
sense We do not believe there is
druggist in the State of Maine who
wants to sell liquor for iIlegitimate pur-
poses who would not prefer to take the
chances under the existing law than un-
der this proposed druggists bill. Prop
erly enforced, it's effect will be to curtail
rather than increase the sale of liquor
for improper purposes.

selection of gold as a medium OF ex-
change is mere arbitrary act of govern
ment, and that paper might have been
selected Just as well? If that is what he
means he is flying in the face OF all his
tory and experience. During the war
our government ordained by law that
the greenback dollar should be legal
tender for all debts. But it by no means
succeeded in placing the greenback dol
lar and the gold dollar on the same
plane. There were many weeks and
months during that period when a man
would surrender two of these greenbaek
dollars to obtain one gold dollar. Gold
and silver have been selected as medi-
ums of exchange because those articles
are generally acceptable; because men
generally are willing to accept them as
proof that the holder has rendered SER
vice and is entitled to one in return. In
the language of Bastiat everybody is
willing to interpret the gold dollar as
meaning tPay the bearer service equiv
alent to what he has rendered society"
Such is not the case with the piece of
paper. Everybody is not willing to put
that Interpretation upon the paper dol
lar, nor can any amount of law compel
them to. That money is purely the
creation of law is the fiat money theory
of the Greenbackers.
