INDIA AND ENGLAND.

COld-BlOOded Method of IsvadinS Re-
spOnsib:lity for Famine Horrors.
Walter Wellman in Chicago Times Herald
Our English friends have a most cold
booded way of relieving themselves of
responsibility for the famine horror in
India. In conversation not long since with
a prominent Englishman in London [ said
to him:
According to Julian Hawthorne, who
visited India for American magazine.
100000 Of unfortunate people have died
there of famine and plague
That is very great exasgeration, -
said my English friend, IAN exaggeration
quite characteristic of you Americans.
Nothing like that number have persisted"
well, how many?"
The official reports show that the num-
Der of deaths is about 4O0O,0OO," was the
cool reply. Some one has to die"
When / expressed surprise that the
English government, reused by Mortified
public opinion, had not appropriated $780,
100000 or some other vast sum 20 relieve
this awful calamity the London gentleman
replied:
"You people in America do not under
stand the Indian situation India can sup
| port only about SO many people. When the
population rises above that limit some one
| has to starve or die from some other cause
| Before we English took hold of India ma
ture and the conditions Of the people kept
unchecked. There was no sanitation. Wild
| beasts and poisonous reptiles caused the
| death of many thousands. Human sacri-
| fees were frequent Tribal wars killed
| vast numbers Of men, and incursions of
| robbers and bands from the wild tribes
| carried off women and children
English rule has put a stop to most of
| this. We have introduced law and order
| and sanitation of cities, and have sup
pressed the wars and the wild beasts Now,
| If nature dH not come along once in a
| while and take away a few million lives
and check the rapid growth of population
| in that 1ecund country. India would soon
| be frightfulIy' overpopulated.''
| To thei average English mind this calm
matter-6f-fadt reasoning settles the whole
| question: PlAkue and famine are necessary
| to keep fYhe population down! So it Is all
| right for the millions to tester snd starve
| Perhaps this is the explanation of Fig
lands failure to take hold of the Indian
| calamity in a masterful way. The English
| did subscribe few millions of dollars but
| they spend hundred millions a year on
| their navy. England derives an annual
| revenue from India. The balances flow
| from Bombay and Calcutta TO London. One
| may look about England and her metrop-
| oils anGu count up scores of great fortunes
| made in thes Indian trade. Yet the SUBJ
| scriptioiIs were paltry when measured
| alongside the extent of the colossal calam-
ity.
| what is India to Engla nd?" was asked
| the same gentleman who is quoted above
ITO be frank replied he, ut is 4 land
peopled with 25O.OO0.0O0 poor, half-starved
men and women who are mere children in
| employment for many thousands of our
i sons;. to skim the cream from the great
mass of their commercial activities en-.
| riches US"

From the chicago Inter-Ocedn
While Wagner incurred a large deficit
at the Bayreuth festival in 1876. and barely
made expenses in 1878. his widow is reaping
a rich harvest from his former labors and
present unbounded popularity. The re-
ceipts of this summers festival were $780,
0OO. of which at least 500. 600 is clear profit,
as the artists sing chiefly for the honor
Of the thing, and there were no expenses
this year for scenery. The next festival
will be in 1899. The fact that both the
prince and princess attended some of the
Bayreuth performances this summer au-
gurs well for the future of Wagner opera
in London. Next winter the whole Of "The
Ring Is to be produced there, with
Eames. the De Rcszkes, Seidl and others.

One on the Tailor.

When Poole, the famous tailor, was an
old man he was at Brighton on a vaca-
ton, and one afternoon went out to walk
upon the pier A young man was also
upon the pier with yle of ladies, to
whom he said, as he saw Poole coming
Nov, you wouldn't take that good
looking man for tailor, but be is. Just
listen while take him down notch or
TWO. I'll tell him my coat, which | have
Just got from him, doesn't fit"
As he spoke Poole approached and
politely acknowledged the salutatlon OF
his customer, who, walking up to him,
said: "Here, Poole, now do I Ike look
at me. Does tbs coat ht?"
Poole took in the situation. ut Ger
tainly does not TT" SAID he, and pulling
out a piece Of French chalk he proceed
ed literally to mark and cross the coat
all over, and then observed, with the ut
most urbanity: "Now It you viii kindly

shall be attended to."-Tid Bits.

Rich and Poor in India.

Our standard of civilization is per-
,onal comfort-luxury, thing abso-
lutely unknown in native India. There
is scarcely any difference in the mode OF
living between the rich and the poor.
If you go into the house of rajah, there
is the same bare floor, and only simple
platter to eat from, such as is seen in the
home of the poorest. To put it crudely,
there will probably not be even the
luxury of wash basin and towel, for
the rich man, like his poor brother, he
washes in the open and dries himself
IN the sun. Such is the extreme sim
plicity of life that wealth is still buried
in India; man may spend it on jewels
for his wife, but not on pleasure or per-
sonal comfort. This simple life, which
fostered no distinctions of class, has
been preserved for 5000 years by In
