FAuIAE ~ INDIA.

Famine in Northern India now seems inevi.
table. The Government recognizes it as so. and
Is making preparations to deal with It. Per
emptOry orders have been issued to all civil SER
wants, revoking leaves Of absence and bidding
every one to be AT his place forthwith. so that
the great administrative machine can he prompt
" set into motion for the relief of the stricken
For 1t is circumstance of ghastly significance
that India has a regular code Of procedure for
famincs. just as other countries have for the
collection Of revenue or the holding Of elections
So much has want been established as a regular
feature Sf the social economy Of that much
suffering land. The need Of such a code has
been made clear by sad experiences such rs
that Of the holy land Of Orissa. In which millions
perished Of starvation In the old days famine
was accepted as a natural and inevitable thing
like floods and tigers and cholera. But British
rule has taught the natives better and now they
look TO the Empress and her servants for relief
which they have learned is possible
The famine code is not one of mere aims.
giving. Its central principle Is to set all able
bodied folk to work. to give them chance to
earn that wherewlth to buy food. So great pub
lie works are undertaken. digging canals, cut
ting down mountains. filling up swamps. or what
not, on which tens or hundreds Of thousands Of
men and women are employed. The wages paid
to them are known as famine wages; not full
pay, but just enough to secure for the laborers
the necessities Of life. For the work done Is
something the Government does not especially
care TO have done-Or. at any rate, would not
have had done at this time had II not been for the
famine. The principle Is the same az that on
which tramps and other mendlcants are here
sent to the woodward or elsewhere TO do cer-
tain amount Of work as a prerequisite to receiv-
ing meals or lodging. The work done may be
more or less in value than the entertainment
given. That does not much matter What IL
important Is to avoid the fact and appearance Of
sheer pauperism involved in the outright giving
Of aims to those who are able to work. What
the Indian Government wants is not so much
to have the work done as to relieve distress
without creating pauper class. There are, OF
course, some individuals to whom this rule does
not apply. These are the aged. infrm and in
valid. and those women who by caste law are
forbidden to appear in public for the Govern
ment Is most considerate Of such native GUS
toms. All such are. when 1t Is necessary, as
sisted by direct gifts Of money or food. Those
who are merely too proud too lazy to work.
the dudes" Of India. are not regarded by the
Government. They are left TO private bench.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-I received copies
of THE CAPITAL JOURNAL this even
ing, and am pleased to find that ii
has the old-time ring to it, the charm
ing ring OF silver. The silver ques-
tion is the prominent issue, second To
none. Let the republican party hoist
the silver banner, and it will march
to victory as of yore when IL repre-.
sented the people and righteous prln-
ciples. Now is the time to declare in
unqualified terms ere too many such
men as Judge Howell Of Ashland,
who recently joined the Populists,
with his followers, loses faith in the
Republican party. Tne people de-
mand silver candidates, and the Re-
publican party must provide them or
suffer the consequences. The Simon
Scott element can no longer mislead
the people. Deal out your sledge-
hammer blows in behalf Of the peo-
pie, and The JOURNAL will have the
praise of the great common people.

A candidate who would come out

But single standard candidates in

party will never favor repudiation OF
single gold standard contract, note,

of those out to take all the gold the

THE ROTTEN PRIMARIES.

When n political machine gets so
rotten and corrupt that II has to ex-
clude the decent men Of the party
from voting at the primaries, II Is
time for the people, regardless OF
party, To arise and smash that ma
chine. That is what the people Of
Multnomah county aud Of all Oregon
should do with the Slmon-Scott gang.
BY the same method Simon and
Scott have dictated legislation In
their own interest and ridden on the
necks OF the decent Republicans and
taxpayers Of Oregon for twenty years,
and will for twenty years b come II
the people let them.
Let the fight be made in Portland.
Let Il be made in every county OF
Oregon. The people WI, smash this
infamous gang Of political looters.
Just as Rhodes In South Africa, In
the name OF Reforms, wants to crush
out the Republican burghers of the
South African republics, so Simon,
Scott ct al. told ring politicians want
TO override the people Of Oregon with
false cry of economy in state affairs
and pure men In otiicel They are n
stencil In the nostrils OF reform and
honest politics, and the people will
unite against them regardless of
party, rather than enthrOne these
professional spoilsmen In ofice TO the
end OF the century. They can corrupt
the fountains Of our state government
at the primaries; but, thank God, the
people have stlll their only weapons,
the Australian ballot, and ropes 70

representative principle.

state of war, which congress should
have declared and will undoubtedly
do so hereafter so there can DC no
evasion in future legislation.
Having considered the wrongs done
these claimants, now let us consider
how to right these wrongs. Under
the law there will be paid about ~
per cent of the 100 cases filed. Con-
press should now take up the claims,

missal and appropriate to pay them
at once.
IL not sufficient from Indian annu-
tiles to pay these claims, then out OF
funds derived from sales of the vast
area of native territory taken, these
depreciation claims should be lidqui-
dated and for this purpose the land
should be sold at the rate of S1.25 to
$3.50 per acre according to quality;
or else give the claimants these lands
in settlement at these prices.
It is not just that the government
should grow rich at the expense OF
the pioneers. Tc pay them in lands
for their losses would be only giving
them their own (wrongfully withheld
from them which they helped to ac-
Quire,
1t is only since the passage of this
depreciation law in 1891, that Congress
ceased to make appropriations, in a
limited degree, to pay those depreda-
tions, after having been audited and
allowed by the Interior Department,
which grew out of destruction of
property during the so-called Indian
wars, or when the government was
chastising them. 1t is thus seen that
for hundred years 1t has been the
established policy of the government
for the Interior Department to allow,
and for Congress to appropriate to
pay these claims, and did pay the very
class of cases which are now being
dismissed by the Courts.
BY sad experience the pioneers have
learned not TO trust their sacred in
terests to their eastern brethen, and,
therefore, they propose to see to it in
future that the next statute will not
be a series Of articles and evasions.

that all are In favor OF a protective

There Is no dispute ON that score.
But on other issues, as to the money
question, immigration, corporations,
pensions and taxation, not word has
been breathed ON the subject by any
newspaper championing any OF the
candidates. There is n warm desire
TO occupy Mr. Hermann's seat in

upon which that desire is based.
