Making the Test.

A corporation has been charted in
West Virginia, with capital of $5,-
100000, which intends to undertake
business in the Philippine Islands. If
the company carries cut its plans, and
establishes American capital and AM
erican methods on the islands on such
a scale as the capital stock indicates,
1t will make a test of the trade that
follows the flag. and demonstrate the
value to the United States of the
Philippines as a commercial venture,
Manila, with the territory tributary,
is an unexplored region to the COM
merce Of the United States. Until the
war was commenced we had an export
Irade with the Philippines of few
thousands a year, importing perhaps
$4,000, 900 year in return. Whatever
Of commerce has been available on the
islands has been chiefly in other hands
and the possibilities have been seal
ed book to the American.
| 1t is expected that there is a great
field in the Philippines for American
capital and industry. The test on a
! large scale will show without much
| doubt what may be expected there. If
one American corporation can find a
profit on it's investment it will enlarge
its scope, and others will follow. If
the one meets with disappointment a
great deal of ardor will be cooled. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that intelli-
gent and energetic methods as prac-
ticed in the United States should
prove unusually profitable in the Ori-
ant. Yet often occasions arise, which
are not counted upon beforehand, that
interfere seriously with the plans, and
it may be the case in Manila.-Pitts-
burg Times.

Awful Famine in India.

The famine area in India is about
$4,000 square miles, and extends over
the General south and northwestern
provinces. No pen could describe the
awful horrors Some of the things
proved by photography are too realls-
tlcally horrible to be reproduced in
any publication. and we only print a
few of the less frightful photographs
taken by the missionaries, because
many have not believed that such an
awful condition could exist in this CEN
tury of plenty and prosperity. Emac-
lated beyond belief, the starving ma
lives crawl to the house OF the nearest
sahb, usually missionary. to crave

Hindu. yet even this pitiable allow
ance Is not to be had. The causes of
the famine are failure of the crops,
the refusal of the native Princes to al
low their hunting jungles to be con-
verted into fertile agricultural regions,
an dthe mysterious disappearance of a
special famine fund of 100000, 900,
collected by the government after the
famine of 1877.

he may get food-or he may not. If
not, he crouches in some cornery or out

The majority of the victims are

sun, dropping exhausted, to be devour-
ed by vultures or wild dogs ere even
life is extinct. Three-quarters of those
who start thus for succcr die-the
balance lives, perchance, until another
visitation plays further havoc with

In order that there can be no accus-
