Improvements to Result from tho Dis
tress in India.
The famine in North India which is
assuming more and more serious pro-
portions. while it will occasion much
suffering, is likely also to result in
good. For Il long time the govern
mcnt has been projecting a series of
railways in the northwest provinces,
Oudh and the Punjab, but has been
held back by the lack of funds. The
need was not so pressing as to justify
the expense. Now, however. that some
thing must be doneto furnish relief to
the starving, the viceroy announces
that instead of charity the government
will give employment and push these
works. The result will be not merely
a wiser and more effective relief for the
immediate want, but provision
against such disasters in the future,
says the New York Independent.
The most prominent cause of famine
in Asia is the absence of means of COM
municatior, making it. impossible to
supply the deficiency of one region
from the surplus in another. Much
good has been done by the railroads al
ready built and these new ones will be
public boon even overbalancing the
present distress. III, j.! $500
