the defrauding of the government, out
of 81, roc, 900 while he was in charge Of
the harbor improvements at Sayan-
nah, Ga. His case was reviewed by
all the military tribunals, judgment
pronounced correct, and it was finally
approved by the President on the 10Th

which o~ccasioned much comment. An
appeal was then taken to the civil

r1cHTIyG GENERAL AGNUs.

The story of how the friends OF Ad-
miral Schley, headed by General Felix
Agnus, publisher of the Republican
Baltimore American, took a fall out CT
President Mckinley and the other enc
mics of the Admiral, is worth relating.
The friends Of the Admiral were red
hot with inclination over the lack OF
recognition of his services, bur for a
year and a half they were forced to
carry on a defensive campaign, hop
ing for tardy justice. This did not
come, and they suddenly assumed the
offensive, under the able leadership Of
General Agnus. The editor Caused to
be prepared an eight-page supplement
TO his paper, wholly devoted to the
cause of Admiral Schley, and filled
with statements of fact, official docu-
ments, and data of a specific and per-
tinent character, the whole putting the
administration and the Navy Depart
ment in anything but a favorable and
creditable light. The plates for this
supplement were cast. put on the
press, and one copy was printed. The
plates were then locked up in a safe
convenient to the American press
room, while General Agnus and a Re-
publican Senator took the single copy
to Washington and sought a big ad-
ministration leader. The copy Of the
paper was shown this gentleman, and
he was given to understand that I'm
less there was fair treatment for
Schley and he was properly promoted,
one million copies of the paper would
be struck off and circulated.
There were immediate results. At
tacks on Schley have ceased, and steps
have been taken to give the Admiral
the reward he merits. But the plates
are still in General Agnus' safe, and
steam is up in the press room of the
Baltimore American, day and night.
When asked about this supplement
Sunday last, General Agnus said that
matrlxes of a proposed supplement to
his paper had been prepared, but de-
MED that a copy had been printed, or
that he or anybody else had taken it
to Washington. When asked if the
supplement would e-er be printed he
smiled and said, II am waiting till a
certain target goes up. 1t it does, I
shall shoot"
The General will probably not have
to shoot. Mckinley, like Davy Crock
ett's coon, will conn down and Schley
will get justice.

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

Needing all available our for
the South African war, the estimated
cost of which is $3.50 per minute, Her
Majesty's Indian government is en-
forcing the "strictest economy" and
this order applies with heart-breaking
force to the labor employed upon the
public works started as a means of
famine relief. The maximum daily
wages for men have been placed at
Jour cents, for women about two cents,
and for children at about a cent, and
yet even at these wages" thousands
and tens of thousands travel many
weary miles to earn the few copper
coins that mean the difference between
a mere existence and death. But very
many thousands cannot reach the var
ious Meccas of labor, nor can they, on
the other hand, obtain adequate or
timely aid through the governmental
system of relief, and as an inevitable
result the death list daily runs to
awful figures in a land teeming with
the products of the soil and contain
ing uncounted millions Of coin.
A correspondent Of the London
Leader, writing from Amrooah, says
after an exhaustive study of the stu
alton: There is plenty to eat, but
millions are dying of starvation be-
cause they have no money, and yet
grain is so cheap that a man may live
OIL two cents a day, according to the
government estimate" This evidence
corroborates that of others. Proceed
ing the correspondent adds: I'm other
words, the social, economic and polit-
ical condition of India is utterly wrong
and evil. The mystery is that the peo-
pie submit. Why don't they go and
take food wherever they find it? And
if necessary, get decently killed in the
attempt"
In short, this English correspondent
would have the natives follow the ex-
ample of Irishmen in 1877. In the
Irish famine of 1S4s something like a
million of the population died from
want of food, although the country
was exporting. They viewed the
scarcity as an expression OF the will
of God, and submitted. Nearly a gen.
Grafton later. under similar condi-
tons, they suddenly discovered that
not God, but man, was responsible,
and they held on to the crops and got
something to eat where and how they
could. Some of these days the Indian
native will realize that he is not calie1
upon to sit down in a corner and die
as long as anything is to be had by
force, and when he acts upon this
realization the terrors of famine will
have begun to be m~itigated.
Some of the present horrors are al
most beyond belief. One district is
reported as having lost 100000 cattle
out of 1900, 600 head, and a great many
human beings were found dead from
starvation. Children were found wan
dering in all directions, homeless,
naked. and emaciated, and cases were
reported of children being sold. The
official reports fully confirm the worst
stories of the terrible nature Of the
distress.

what imperialism Requires.

Boston Traveller.
If we are to be imperialistic there is no
question but that we must lave its trap
pings. If we are to Cypress we must
chronicle our strength by the roaring of
great guns and the glitter of cold steel.
We must awe cur dependents into friend
ly relations if we cannot treat them as
equals and win their affeetionate regard.
Such is the penalty of the imper.alistic
regime.
