PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.

In this year of plenty in our State,
our attention has been called to the
pitiable condition of famine-stricken
India. Among the nations of the
earth, India stands first in the unut-
terable distress of her people. Be
fore she has recovered from the dread
fui famine of 1897, another which pro-
misses to be even more terrible is
upon her. The need of help is hourly
becoming greater. The population
already afflicted reaches many mill
ions of people. The famine has spread
with such alarming rapi6ity and has
reached such awful proportions as to
call for immediate and generous relief
from the civilized world. The local

spectre of famine has drawn nearer
to these weakened and helpless peo-
pie. The pitiful cry of distress has
not been fully heard, because the
people of this great and prosperous
country have been too busy in follow
ing the stirring events which are Gre
ating new history for us. i am sure
that an appeal to the people of Kan
Sas will not be made in vain. In the
past, we, ourselves, were recipients
of the nations bounty, and our peo-
pie should not forget the generous re-
lief that came to us in our adversely.
In the days of our prosperity, let US
be mindful of the awful extremity of
of India. From the wonderful abund
ance with which the Almighty has
blessed US, let us give freely to the re-
lief measures suggested in this call.
