When you are buying bananas never purchase
the long thin ones unless you want fruit which
will pucker your mouth. No matter how well
ripened these thin bananas may appear TO be,
they will always be found both sour and acrid.
This is because the bunch which contained
them was picked too soon. The banana grows
fastest at irst In length. When It has reached
itS full development in that direction, 1t sud

INDIAN GRIEVANCES.

One result of the outbreak of famine and
plague in India promises to be beneficial
to the people of the country. The dire
calamities which have befallen them have
called public attention to everything con-
corning India, and have led men OF
prominence in England to give considera-
tIon to the requests which have como from
that country for changes and amendments
in the system of government.
For several years past there has been an
annual meeting at Calcutta of an assem- bly,
calling itself the Indian National Congress.
This Assem- bly, is made up of natives of in
telligence and energy from all the prov
irces OF the great empire, and the discus
sions held are directed to the end of OBJ
tanning redress for grievances which are
felt under British rule. At all OF these
meetings resolutions have been passed of
the same general character, but until the
present time they have been almost
ignored by the governing classes in Eng
land. The famine and the plague, how
ever, have aroused the interest of the
British public, and there now seems
reason for believing that the people OF
Great Britain will demand of Parliament
that something be done in the way OF
redress.
According TO the Calcutta Congress the
famine now affecting the people has been
due largely to the great drain of wealth
resulting from excessive taxation. Com
plaint is made OF the bureaucratic tend
encies and over centralized administration
OF the government, and it is further as

IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS.

Secretary Olney has recently received a
letter from the famous novelist, Louise de
la Rance, better known as ''Ouida," rela-
tive to the immigration bill, in which she
protests against the barring ont of immi-
grants who cannot read. She states that
If we exclude Italians who cannot read
we will shut out the best and most Iabori-
Gus part of the population and will admit
the trash OF cities.
The peasantry of Italy. she informs the
Secretary of State, are almost entirely
illiterate. She has had many men in her
employ during her residence in Italy and
has invariably found those who could not
read ten times more industrious, temper
ate and honest than those corrupted by
the trumpery education of the schools" 1"
She has, she asserts, an old man in her
service who can be sent with fifty com.
missions to purchase articles with only
oral instructions, and he will execute the
order without forgetting a single detail.
Such a man, she says, we would turn
from our shores, while a currupt youth
able to read would be ad mitted
This argument from "Ouida" might at
first thought make the restriction of i'm
migration seem folly, but it really shows
a reason why restric ion should be made
still more stringent. There are good rea-
sons for shutting out the illiterate; there
are better reasons for shutting out the
literate corrupt, but practicability cuts a
great figure IL the case, and it is much
easier to prove a man is illiterate than
that he is immoral or dishonest.
Perhaps some time in the future the can
didates for ad mission to the opportunities
OF this country may be required to pro-
duce certificates OF good conduct for years
preceding their application for entry. By
such requirements this wonderful land of
ours would become sort of paradise in
moral as well as a material sense. Such a
policy of exclusion would be practical
illustration of the reward that awaits on
well dong, and would furnish an incen-
tive to the enterprising youth of Europe
to equip themselves in mind and charac-
ter so as to be found worthy of admission
TO American opportunities and American
citizenship.

serted that much OF The legislation enacted
by the British Council is untitled for ap-
plication in India. because it legislates
over the heads and beyond the immediate
needs of a people still welded to old
tradition, custom and law.
The truth OF the resolutions adonted hv
the congress is confirmed by Lord Rob-
erts, who from his long experience in India
as ommander of the British army there is
we'll versed in the affairs of the country.
He has warned the people OF Great Britain
that unless the grievances of India are re-
dressed and a newer and better system of
government provided their hold upon the
country Will be seriously shaken. While
much has been done for India and her
people by the building OF canals and rail
ways, the burden of taxation laid upon
them to carry out these great designs has
been more onerous than they can bear.
They now demand through their annual
congresses a larger share in the admins
tration Of the country, and it seems that
unless they obtain it there will be trouble
ahead.
1t is this newly awakened consideration
of Indian claims on the part Of many lead
ing papers and men of influence in Great
Britain that gives ray of hope to the sit
uatlon, and promises that the famine and
the plague may prove in the end to be
benefits to the long oppressed people,
Their disasters have excited commisera-
ton ana caused a sympathetic study of
their conditions. They have therefore
better prospects than ever before of OBJ
tanning relief, and it is to be hoped the
promises will not prove deceptive or their
