UNHAPPY INDIA.

Across the glory of the British Jubilee a
menacing shadow falls. The splendor OF
the royal festivities is darkened by cloud
overspreading the most populous and
most dangerous part of the empire, and
amid the popular re eioicing at the capital
the Government shudders at the news
from India.
Dispatches from Bombay announce that
while the thronging crowds in London
were shouting their Loyalty 10 the Queen,
and exulting in the pride OF the mightiest
empire the world has ever known, the
people of India, maddened By famine and
plsgue and frightened by earthquakes,
had begun to manifest a discomfort omin-
Gus OF civil disturbances OF the most dire
full kind. AssassIns have killed one mem

lowing these murderous assaults there
has been circulated bulletin denouncing
as demons those who would cele brate a jub-
lice at time of famine. plague and earth.
quake, and calling upon the people to
check by arms the excesses of English
tyrantS.
1t is easy to understand the discomfort
of India. Widespread disaster and want
and misery powerfully affect the public
mind, even smcng the most civilized peo-
pie. We have seen in our own country to
what 70 lies intelligent men may be led in
panic seasons and periods of hard times.
The people of India are not intelligent
and the distresses which have befallen
them lar exceed that which happened to
even the most unfortunate of our citizens
at the worst point of the past four years.
1t was inevitable, therefore, that they
should be reused TO madness Holding
their conquerors responsible for their ruin,
they enter upon the practice of asssssina-
tion and call for revolt and war.
There is no serious danger in this to the
supremacy of the British empire in the
country. India is inhabited by peoples
alien 10 one another in race. religion, Ian
guage and civilization. They have never
been able to combine with one another to
resist any con queror, nor could they COM
bine now TO throw eff the British yoke.
Moreover, the very distress in one part of
the country has been the cause of pros
perity in another. The famine has not
been universal, and the high prices OF
rice and wheat caused by it have bene-
fitted those portions of the great peninsula
where the crops were good. An uprising
in the stricken districts would find little
or no sympathy elsewhere, and would be
foredoomed to failure from the start.
The danger is that any serious revolt
would cause a long and bloody war. 1t
would open a way for an outburst of that
fanatic barbarism which is inherent in so
many of the Indian races. 1t would
carry fearful dread into almost every
English home, for there are comparatively
few families in Great Britain that have
not some near relative or dear friend in
the Indian servlce. 1t is for that reason
the news from Bonn bay causes shudder in
London. The jubilee year of the Queen
of Great Britain and Ireland may be a
direful time for the Empress of India.

LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.

The Board of Health campaign, having
for its object the destruction of tubercu-
lous cattle on the dairy farms of this City
and County, should be applauded by
every man and woman in the City. From
standpoint, not only of law, but of hu-
manity. it is an imperative duty that
COWS affected with tuberculosis should be
destroyed. The existence of infected ami
mails on our dairy farms simply implies
the diffusion of disease germs among
families supplied with milk from those
sources.
Young children, with whom milk is
chief article OF diet, are necessarily the
most impe riled, and the danger is a
grave one, for the insidious poison finds
its way most readily into those systems
which are least able to resist its effects.
The fight for pure milk is a battle in de-
Tense of the home and family.
No parent would stand by and lift not
protecting arm if before his eyes his inno-
cent child were threatened by a ruffian
hand. Such case is unimaginable. The
parent would risk his own life to save his
child from harm. Then every father and
mother should be heart and soul with the
movement just inaugurated by the Board
of Health. The lives of children are
threatened in this instance not by sudden
violence but by an enemy in the shape of
disease that kills by slow stages, early
inscribing On the features OF his victim his
terrible, CHASTITY decree. We aid in COM
batting that enemy when we give our
moral support to the campsign begun by
the Board of Health. Let the good work
never cease until our dairies contain only
sound healthy cattle

CALIFORNIA CURRANTS IN THE

1t is good thing to discuss the fruit

onstration. There is fruit to eat Currants
were reached in the consideration of the tariff
bill yesterday and Senator Mills said that
Zante currants were raised only on the Islaud
OF Zanie. 'oh, no." exclaimed Senators Per-
kins and White. "We raise Zaute currants in
California and If you don't believe it eat
these"
Now the proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing, and so when the California Senators dis
played sundry boxes neatly and temptingly
filed with currants the interest in the tariff
bill temporarily languished. Sena Tor Chandler
evinced the ltveliest interest and picking up q
box carried it around the Senate.
Mr. Gray helped himself and smiled, and

no practical joke was intended, also partook

THE OLD-TiME CIRCUS.

A he fed himself with hay,
And each separate beast was worth the price to

And that small trapeze man-what a man was he I

She was really so pathetic

The shows we see in these days are never half SO
fine:
The cost of tickets often bothers me:
Though Ghe man still cracks his whip
A nd the clown seems pretty flip
There is nothing much care to hear or
Thoughts of business, taxes, losses; rheumatism,
other crosses,
All con bile 10 maze the circus seem quite fat;
no longer love the SoDgstress, with her paint aud
frills and Aosses;
I no longer want to take her home, at that:
But I'D like TO see the old-time show of thirty
years ago,
When wore no pointed shoes my feet were bare:
When lemonade was nectar
And peanuts were a Joy;
That old show without worry or care

Freight rates on the great lakes have reached
the lowest point ever known. The charge for
transporting bushel of wheat from Duluth to
New YORK and loading it upon a steamer at
the latter port is now about cents, or hardly
one-half OF the rate prevailing few years ago.
The season rate for ore from the head of the
lakes to Lake Erie ports is now only 65 cents
against 81 05 last year. chief cause of the
de cline is the deepening of the channels and
