POLITICAL NOTES.

Among the Republican statesmen who train with

Louis F. Pawn. He is Mr.. Platts supporter in all
kinds of trouble his most confidential adviser and
his friend Of forty years He lives In Columbia
County He owns a paper at Chatham. The Re-

Mckinley il was particularly active. While Mr..
Plat was bombarding the country with the Inter-
Views Mr. Quigg kindly prepared for him, Mr.. Payn
was pouring forth maledictlons by the column on
the head OF Mckinley. Some OF the things he said
make interesting reading that Plat has taken
the platform for the Ideal candidate as his Car
negie Hall platform describes him. For example,
or Nav 49, The Republican, declared that when
the convention at ST. Louis has completed It's task
the name of Ex-Governor Mckinley will not be
found upon the Republican National ticket In the
same issue It predicted his failure to secure the
nomination again. because he "a coward and a
trimmer" and furthermore insisted that he was
plaving the dual role Of knave and fool on the
most emphatic way that Mckinley would not be
nominated because the Republican party was NOT
likely TO choose a dumb man for its standard bear

ORIENTAL

From reading some newspapers n
hearing 20 iticil speeches, n YOU'D
think that America is about the poorest
place on the face of the earth for q
common m4u 10 live. We know what
hard times are, but we know nothing
of starvation and famine. Ia fact, we
10 this beautiful country, can form no
estimate of what a calamity such as a
famine as that which Is upon India
now IS. There has been a succession
of short crops over a region 1000 miles
long and 500 miles wide, and the mil
lions of people inhabitiDg that country
are face to face with starvation. II is
understood, already, that hundreds OF
thousands, if not millions, will perish.
In 1878, 9. 800, 900 persons perish
ed in northern China, of famine. In
1877, in Madras, $500, 900 persisted,
despite the utmost exertlons OF the
British government to relieve the sui
fering. Ia 1862, about 1900, OOC
people died from famine in Rajpoo'
tana. Ia 1866, 1000, 900 persisted
in Bengal and Orissa. 1t IS estimated
that from 15,OoO,0 900 to 10000, 900 o
lives have been lost through famine il
India during the past century. AND
it must be understood that there ar
always millions in China who merel.
live from hand to mouth. Any failur'
of crops means death to multitudes 0
them. We do not see how peopl
keep their reasons under that kind 0
apprehension and suffering.
