FAN.NE IN INDIA.
Sample of the White Mans Burden in
the Enr Enst.

the Far East.
Philadelphia Record.
The famine in India, which has resulted
from the failure of the monsoon, threatens
the existence of nearly $1,000 900 natives, for
whose relief the British government has or
dered s3,500,00 to be expended. To cope
with the emergency, however, will be seri-
Gus task, fraught as 1t is with almost insur-
mountable difficulties on all sides. Do what
it may, the government Is powerless to
effect much, and should not, therefore, be
held responsible for the frightful mortality
which must result. The great trouble is
that white men willing and able to under
take the task Of distributing relief are not to
be found, and the work must be intrusted to
natives
The native Hindus have no regard for the
property rights OF others This Is especially
true of the "buniahs," or native merchants,
to whom the work of relief is largely con-
flded. OF course, men presumed to be hon.
est are chosen, but honesty among buniahs
Is as rarely found as is ice upon pond on
warm morning in July. The result Is that
the buniah wakes rich and fat, while his
distressed low-countrymen die Of starva-
ton, for the buniah applies to his own use
most OF the relief funds intrusted to his
care.
Those unacquainted with the facts OF the
situation are prone to censure the British
government for the awful distress which
occurs in India whenever the monsoon fails.
Great Britain is, as a rule none too careful
of her colonies so far as the needs of the
colonists are concerned. But in this instance
she is little to blame. We have entered the
field of oriental colonization ourselves.
little further experience in the matter may
lead us to appreciate the difficulties which
beset the white man in his dealings with
dusky barbarians, as we'll as the climatic
trials with which the natives Of the tropics
have to contend @ -' g..

THE FUTURE .OFsAMOA.

According to report from Washington
there Is favorable promise of an
early agreement between Great Britain,
Germany and the United States II re.
gard to the future of the Samoan
islands. 1t seems that these powers
concur in the opinion that the tripartite
government should be terminated and
the question under consideration is the
partitioning of the islands between two
of the powers and the establishment of
dual government. The American am,
bassador at Berlin recently stated that
the full report of the joint commission
sent to Samoa to effect provisional
arrangement shows that the present
status Of the islands is untenable
for any length of time and he said that
the difficulty regarding partition is
that there is not enough of the islands
for three powers, though probably
enough for two.
Germany would like to secure the en-
tire group, or failing in this to get
upolu, where nearly all the German
plantations and property are located.
This island is the most valuable part of
the group and Great Britain would like
to have 1t. The United States desires

GENERAL WOODS SUGGESTION.

General Leonard Wood recommends
a reduction of the military force in the
province of Santiago He states that
the best part of the population is en-
tirely friendly and in thorough accord
with the military authorities. There is
an element of political agitators which
causes some friction, but it is evident
that General Wood does not regard it
as at all dangerous, or at any rate not
SO much so as to render necessary the
retention in the province under his COM
mand of so large number of troops as
is now there. He thinks that two squad
rons of cavalry and two battalions of in
fantry will be sufficient to maintain
order. .-t ..,s. r.1...-. s. ....-,.
The conditions in Santiago province
are doubtless better than elsewhere in
the islands. The excellent administra-
tlon of affairs by General Wood has had
the effect of creating among Il majority
Of the people there and particularly the
better class of them feeling of respect
for and confidence in the American
authorities. That very able officer has
comprehended just what was needed
and from the very beginning his course
has been such as to convince the people
that he aimed to conserve their inter-
ests and welfare. He has taught them
to feel that the occupation of their coun-
try by the United States was for the
purpose of helping them and he has
demonstrated that it is to their advan-
tage to give ready obedience to the
new authority, exercised with the sole
view of establishing peace and order,
restoring industries and improving the
condition of the people generally. Per-
haps he has had to deal with more
tractable population than other COM
manders, but there is reason to believe
that had his policy and method been
generally adopted the results in other
provinces would have been more ,satis-
factory. There would have been ere
ated throughout the island the same
degree of friendly feeling toward the
United States, the same willing obe-
dience to American authority that Ia
found in Santiago province.
1t is obviously unwisc to keep Amer
lean troops in Cuba when there is no
necessity for doing SO. When the object
or our military occupation, pacification,
is accomplished and there Is a reason
able certainty of its continuance, our
soldiers should be withdrawn. Such
course, as an expression of our conf.
dence in the good disposition Of the peo-
pie, would produce a wholesome moral
effect 1t would tend to silence the polit-
ical agitators who profess to see in our
continued military occupation, notwith-
standing the fact that peace and tran
Quillity prevail, a sinister purpose, and
in no way could we better reassure the
Cubans and convince them of our good
faith.

INCREASING GOLD OUTPUT.
Nature Yields Vast Quantities OF tho
p-ccious Metal

Philadelphia Times.
Gold is produced in so many countries and
the process of bringing 1t where 1t can be
assayed, weighed and the amount tabuated
is OF necessity so slow that the total gold
production Of any one year cannot be accu-
rately known until nearly the close OF the
following year. The report of the director
OF the mint showing the gold and silver pro-
duction for 1898 is only just made public. but
its figures. belated as they are afford little
to substantate the theory OF those who
claim that there is not gold enough in the
world TO furnish the basis Of the worlds
currency.
The total gold production for 1898 was
l3,9Oi,363 fine ounces of the value OF s2S7,-
42S,6 This is an increase of more than
s1SO,00O0 900 over the production of 1897
showing an increase that has gone forward
by leaps and bounds. OF this amount South
Africa produced $79213,953, Australia S6i,
S6OSOO and the United States S64, ,463, ,000 the
three countries producing s20S, 1887, 1853, or 7S
per cent of the whole. All but per cent of
the balance was produced by Russia Canada
Mexico. India and China in the order named
A significant feature OF these figures is that
100000 fine ounces of this product were
taken from quartz mines and only 31s,00O
iIoln placer mines, showing tnHI Bolu Hllu-
ing has become in an important sense a
steady and reliable industry, not dependent
upon new and rich placer discoveries.
But for the war in the Transvaal which is
likely for time to paralyze gold mining in
South Africa, the gold production for the
current year would undoubtedly be greater
than that OF 1898, but leaving South Africa
out of the question entirely the gold produca
tion of 1899 is likely to be twice that Of
1887, and the gold used in the arts for
1898 was but little more than fifth of the
total product the steady increase of the
supply for monetary purposes is assured.
Those who claim with Bryan that there is
not gold enough to form the basis OF the
necessary money to transact the business OF
the world will find little In these figures to
afford them either comfort or substantial
ton.

the BEST JUDGES or PROSPERITY

THE BEST JUDGES or PROSPERITY.
While the popocratic leaders are tell.
ing their credulous followers that pros
perity is only partial, superficial and
will not last, the men who manage
great business interests are making
preparations for a protracted period OF
prosperous conditions.
No class of business men are better
qualified to judge as to the prospect of
continuance of prosperity than the man
ayers of the great railroad systems of
the country, who are constantly
in close touch with industrial
and commercial conditions. The pres
ident of the New York Central re-
Gently said that he looked for at least
three years of undimmed prosperity for
all freight carriers and the directors OF
the company showed their concurrence
in this view by advising the issue of
S15,000,000 of new stock for enlarging
sylvania railroad has made contracts
for steel rails to the amount of about
S6,000,000 and is otherwise Improving
and increasing its equipment thus in
the most substantial way attesting the
confidence of its managers in a contin-
uance of prosperity. Other railroad
managers feel the same way, as shown
by the rush to contract for steel rails
at prices nearly double what they were
year ago. Unusual orders are also
being placed for locomotives and freight
cars. 1t Is plain that railroad managers
generally believe that the existing bus
mess conditions are certain to continue
for several years and probably will
grow better as there is good reason to
expect.
Against opinion of this character,
backed by substantial evidence of the
confidence of the men who hold it, the
assumptions of popocratic leaders who
have no practical knowledge of business
and do not come into contact with
affairs which would enable them to
form an intelligent Judgment regarding
the industrial and commercial outlook,
will have no weight with thoughtful
people. Men who want sound business
opinion go to practical men to get it and
not to mere theorists and the most
experienced and sagacious business men
in the United States-the men of capital
and the managers of great industrial
and commercial interests-believe that
the era of prosperity will be prolonged
and are giving substantial manifesto
ton of their confidence.
