A STARVING NATION.

The famine in India, which has had
the effect of enhancing the price OF
American wheat somewhat, is more
widespread and disastrous, even horri-
bic, than is generally understood. 1t ex-
tends throughout the whole of the pen
insula. The present drouth is, largely,
the drouth of last year, which covered
the entire region from the Himaiayas
to the southern extremity and from
Bombay to Calcutta. There was in 1898
a practical failure of all crops. When
it is considered that in ordinary crop
years the great masses of the people Of
India are in a wretched condition, hav-
ing barely enough to sustain life, their
present deplorable extremity can hardly
be imagined. No language, it is said,
could exaggerate the terrible picture.
The Indian government has undertaken
the work of relief. Public improve
ments have been begun in various parts
Of the empire on which as many Of the
natives are employed as the appropria-
ton will warrant. But this helps only
a handful of the swarming multitude Of
miserable inhabitants. According to
the latest report, there has been no sys-
tematic distribution of food by the pub
lie authorities. Thousands are daily dy-
ing Of starvation. 1t is said that up to
January 1 not less than $4,000 people
had persisted. Unless a worldwide eff
fort Is Immediately made to alleviate
the distress, the year just begun will
witness q scourge of horrors in India
even worse than any Of the famines
that have marked the history Of China.
But all Europe seems moving along
England, who rules India,
only excepted and England is doing com
little except in directing its
Indian government. The nations OF Eu-
rope are putting untold millions into ar
with which to kill people, as
if people were not dying rapidly enough
by starvation in India and Armenia
The English war budget carries $780,
600. 600 for 1897, France an alike
amount, Germany $35,000,000 for
KrlIpp guns alone, while Russia and
Italy and the rest are following suit
But must not Europe be armed even
though its dependencies starve? OF
course, for Europe is Christian (?) and
the good heather are the dead heather.

can press of Kansas for years. These
things and places complained OF are of
political origin, for party purposes; and
Mr.. Leedy, a politician, who will put
Pops into every one of the Objectionable
places, and his party, will not abolish
them. His recommendations therefore
are but Pop-ycock. Governor Leedy
having spoken his mild little piece, we

GOVERNOR LREDY's MESSAGE.

Governor Leedy's message Is seedy.
and will prove a partisan diSappoint-
ment 1t is not hay-seedy, but simply
commonplace, with no suggestion of
radical reformation, much less of pro-
eression. 1t signally follows the oldest

who is satisfied with that state paper
would be just as well pleased with the
regulation Republican or Democratic
message, under any other names. The
Information 1t contains is of Republican
state institutions, furnished by out-go-
ing Republican state officials. Its all
old. The two things. and the only two
things which stand any chance OF at
tracing attention. are his railway
schemes. One of them is for a maxi
mum freight rate law. That is old
The other is his proposition of
state aid FOR a north and
south road, through the transnisSouri
states to the gulf. That is also a chest
nut Those who dread innovations and
desire conservatism viii be satisfied.
If there is any kicking. it will be from
Inc men who supported Mr.. Leedy as
an innovator and revolutionary hero.

yERkEs AN EDITOR NOW.
street Car Magnnte Secures Controi
of the Inter Ocean.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-The Times-Her-
add this morning says:
charles T. Yerkes is now an editor.
His representative, George Wheeler
Hinnan. late of the New York sun.
Yesterday took charge of the inter
ocean. which hereafter will be CONDUCT
ed according to the editorial views OF
Mr.. Yerkes. Associated with Mr.. 4erkes
in his new venture and, as occasion
NAV require. co-editors of the reor-
ganized journal, are other chicago
street railway companies.
The change in the management OF
the Inter Ocean took place quietly yes
terday afternoon and without any up
heayal in the business or editorial de-
partments Mr.. Human, who has a
head shaped like that of j. M. Barrie
and a pink and white complexion, pig
shoulders, an athletic build and quiet,
positive manner, came In unostenta-
tiously.
He and William Penn Nixon greeted
each other cordially, and in a short
time Mr.. Human was giving orders
to department heads in gracious
manner that carried with 1t the seal Of
Mr.. Yerkes' editorial approval. With
out saying so the personality OF Mr..
Human made it plain that he is the
business and editorial representative
of his employer, Mr.. Yerkes, who now
controls a majority of the stock of the
Inter Ocean.
Just what the policy of the paper will
be is in some matters conjecture. Mr..
Yerkes has so frequently criticised the
newspapers of Chicago as being sen
sational' and reckless in their con-
duct that old newspaper men await
with interest the departures he may
make from the methods of Chicago
journalism of today
