The India Famine.

A correspondent of the Associated
Press, at Kaipur, India, who is inquir-
ing into the famine ravageS into this,
the largest district of the central
province, having population of 800,
600 finds the situation very grave. This
is the center of the rice-grOwing indus
try, which is the only crop grown, and
as it has failed there is a total lack of
foodstuff in this locality and real fam
inc exists. About 1900 villages are af-
fected. The relief works have given
employment and means Of subsistence
to $4,000 persons. The worst part of
the district is D'Harma Para, thirty
miles from here, where lamentable
conditions prevail. Many people
have already died of hunger and many
others are dying. The staff employed
in the work of relieving the sufferers
is inadequate to cope with the enorm-
Gus area. If the work of relief had
been properly arranged earlier the
mortality would have been less, as the
rains are increasing the spread of
disease. 1t will take three years to re-
coup the district.
The poorhouses are fair criterion on
the condition of the people. Besides
the professional beggars they are
crowded with laborers reduced to the
last stage of skeletons. Their bodies
are emaclated and the skin is hang
ing IN large folds. Others have swoi-
len stomachs, the sign of acute priva-
ton. 1t is found that the cattlemen
aud field workers, usually strong men,
are in the same condition.

THROUGH the efforts of the Texas q
Pacific railroad company, in giving
some concession in rates, backed by
the steamship lines flying between New
Orleans and northern, and European
ports, and both of these aided by Mr..
Simpson of Fort Worth, and A. NJ.
Thompson, of west Texas, the cattle
men of this southwestern region are
about having opened up to them a new
and better market than they have
heretofore been accessible to. The
steamer Tampican recently sailed
from New Orleans for Liverpool with
thirteen car loads of Texas cattle deliv
cred by the Texas & Pacific road at
rates calculated to break up the mono
poly of the cattle trade heretofore
enjoyed by Kansas City and Chicago.

The Cuban Question.

President Cleveland is making a desper-
ate effort to close up all the important parts
of his work during the next four weeks.
He has given instructions to his cabinet
officers TO rush matters, and, if possible, to
clear the docket of all important cases be
fore March 1. Just now the Cuban ques-
ton is giving him the most anxiety. But
the president is still hopeful that he will
be able to accomplish something tangible
in the direction of bringing about a peace
full termination of the troubles in Cuba.
AS l write news comes that Spain is pro
mitigating her reform scheme.
The Cubans say, and give facts and fig
ures to support their declarations, that
nOtwithst anding STain's apparent liberal
itY in cOnceding homo rule she really gives
up nothing. The suffrage is not extended.
1t is left within the Circumscribed limits
which it has always been bound by. These
limits are narrow to amount of prop
erty, as to taxes paid, as to offices held,
etc, that few Cubans are able to vote at
all. Such a small number of them are
able to exercise the right of suffrage that
practically the Spaniards and their sym
pathizers elect all the officers. They have
done so in the PAST in communities where
the CUbans outnumher the Spaniards ten
to one, and there is no reason to suppose
that they will not do so i'll the future. If
Spain were really in earnest in desiring to
give Cuba homo rule, she would widen the
suffrage laws so as to permit the Cubans
to govern their own country. For this
reason the Cuban leaders here are sure the
reform scheme will not be accepted by the
insurgents, no matter what guarantees or
pressure may be offered by the United
States

Social Activities.

From the social side the present admin
istration is not going out i'll Il blaze of
glory. 1t is the rule in Washington that
the receptions given by n president who is
on the of retirement from office are
more generously ATTENDED than during the
middle of his term. This is explained by
the fact that nearly every one wishes to
greet the president and his wife once more
before their departure. But in Mr. Cleve-
lands case the rule appears to work the 9th
or way. At the reception given last week
to the Judiciary and the congress the small
attendance of judges of the courts, of sen
atOrs and of representatives was almost
scandalous. There were by actual count
less than half Il dozen members of the SEN
ate and house in the executive mansion
that evening The reception was the
smallest in point of attendance given in
the White House in recent years.
This is not due in any way to any wan
ing of the popularity Of Mrs. Cleveland.
The mistress Of the White House is as
much admired and liked as she ever was.
Her afternoon teas and receptions are
thrOngGd by all the best people in town.
But when it comes to the evening affairs,
the regular state functions, senator's and
members of congress appear to permit
their political and personal Frcjudices to
extend to their social activities.

whether it would not be worse to import

PIONEER RELICS.

The lease of the ground on which
stands the Hall OF Relies has expired,
and as the structure IL only temper
airy one It becomes necessary to make
some disposition Of the contents.
Since the collection of Pioneer rifles
contained in this building was brought
together, thousands Of citizens of the
State. and large numbers Of tourists
from all parts of the world, have in
spected 1t with both profit and pleas
ure; and the universal sentiment
among both residents and strangers is
that the collection should be kept to-
gether and augmented, and that 1t
should never again be segregated nor
scattered.
OF course It is for the persons who
own articles that have been tcmpor-
arily placed on exhibition to deter
mine what disposition shall be made
of them. But the purpose had in
view in preserving any relic of plo-
neer days could be much better sub
served by contributing 1t to some pub
lie collection than by keeping 1t in
private hands. The reason why such
relics are preserved Is because hose in
charge OF them desire to honor and
perpetuate the memory OF their former
owners, and public collection ~ such
mementoes will do this far moro ef-
fectually than will be possible * such
objects Of interest are scattered among
90 -.
The News" suggests that the own
ers of relics contribute them to the
state, through the Semi Centennial
commission. That body will take
charge OF them pending action by this
State Legislature, which may he de-
pended upon to provide a suitable de-
pository for them where they win b.
secure from loss or destruction, ant
open to public inspection. In this way
the lessons of Pioneer life may b,
taught to the young with most bene'
fcial effect, and a highly proiitabl,
exhibit for the benefit OF tourists viii
be provided.
Many of the articles on exhibition
were loaned for the purpose by tn
management Of the Deseret Museum
and there IL every reason to beilev'
that that institution would be liberia
in making permanent contributions t.
such collection as is proposed. Man!
private persons have presented to thu
state the relies they have furnished
for the exhibit. and IL their example
shall be generally followed, the stat
will be in possession Of most valu
able and instructive museum, tn
establishment OF which will have mad
no person perceptlbly the poorer. h!
all means keep together this collection
of Pioneer relies.
