INDIA AND SOUTH AFRICA.

According to dispatches from London
printed yesterday at least 5000, 900 peo-
pie are starving in India, despite the
fact that aid is being systematically
provided for over 100000 others. In
some parts Of India the bodies lie ex-
posed in the sun. Is the inhabitants
are dying more rapidly than the sur
vivors can provide for the dead.
An appeal from London says the
United States ought to contribute at
least 81, 900, 600 towards the relief fund.
Another appeal from Calcutta explains
that, owing to the fact that the English
are engaged in the somewhat expensive
task Of reducing the South African re-
publics to the same condition Of CO.
lonial vassalage, the government has
not been able to do as much for the
succor of the people of India as under
other circumstances it might.
Every American sympathizes with
these sufferers in far off Asia. Some
thing must be done for their relief. The
deplorable condition produced by crop
failures has been intensified by the
financial system forced on the people
of that unhappy land by London bank
ers. There is not only food famine
in some sections Of the empire, but a
faraine Of money throughout all sec
tons, which has been growing ever
since the minis were closed to the free
coinage of silver. While there is food
in abundance in some portions Of India.
in other localities the masses are dying
ike flies in a frost. 1t issmOney these
people need, and money is being sent
them from almost every civilized land
One million dollars is requested from
this country. There is no doubt about
it being raised without much trouble.
Bur look, While other lands and peo-
pies are sending money into this Brit
ish colony, the British there are send
ing money out to aid in the spoliation
of other lands. The st. James Gazette
says:
Forty thousand pounds have been sub
scribed in India for the war in the
Transvaal, and this at a time when near
ly half a million square miles OF territory
are affected by the distress of famine
Is il not a position lacking somewhat in
sdignffv which is expected from great
nation that we should accept this money
and vet in turn ourselves do nothing to
helm India? Generosity is a thing to be
thankful for, but this generosity lays US
under an obligation
Relief TO tens Of thousands might be
obtained by keeping this money at

WHISKY ON The ISLANDS.

1t was really too bad that the cables
announced next day after Bishop Pot
ter's talk on LUzon temperance to the
loyal legion" that three officers have
been dismissed by 'courtmaTriaI for
drunkenness" If the officers are indis-
Greet the men are apt to become So, if
they are not so when they enlist. But
the trouble is not with the army, or the
officers or the men. so much as it is
with the climate of the islands. Men
are obliged to drink large quantities of
whisky to withstand the encroachment
of maleria," said General Funston in a
recent interview.
But the worst feature Of the business
in the Philippines is that whisky shops
are being set up all over the archipela-
go TO entrap the natives; just as the
work Of benevolent assimilation was
carried on n this country for many
years with the American Indian.
President Schurmann of the insular
commission, quoted by all imperialists
as an authority upon questions pertain
ing to the Philippines, is on record as
saSing:
1 regret that Americans have been al
lowed to establish saloons in the Phil
lppineS for the Filipinos are 4 temDer-
ate people and the sight Of an intoxicated
American CiSguSts them. Nothing has
done so much damage to the Reputation
OF the american people as this.
Lieutenant Hearne of the Fifty-first
Iowa volunteers says he is ian admin
istratiOn man through and through, -
but declares that the attempt is being
made to debauch the Filipino as it has
succeeded with the Indian Of America. -
The evil 90 which objection is raised is
the white trader whose influence is
not unknown to those who are ac-
quainted with the history OF the Amer
lean Indian.
The safety Of the Filipino lies in his
superiority and his higher aims in life.

LUXURY AND LA6ORERS.

These workingmeH who strike are
bloated aristocrats, according to a
trust journal. In 1892 there were labor
strikes from one ocean to the other in
almost every branch Of industry. and
many laid down their lives at the
Pinkerton-guarded doors of protect
ed" factories. But these men struck
for meanness and died for fun, if cur
goldbug contemporary may be taken
as an authority. It says that these
iabOrers are humbugs and that in 1892
1T transpiTed that many of those poor
worlIingmen' went every merning in
carriages to their work. and that car
riages were sent every evening to take
them home"
1t has only been a little over a year
since our contemporary explained that
all this had been coming on for years
and that the storm of 1882 was twenty
years gathering force"
1t has only been a few months since
our. contemporary said: I'VE have had
spells of prosperity and spells Of ad-
versity- but the tendency has been
downward. We have seen all this
since 1873. With great harvests. no
epidemics, no failure of crops. no
floods, no droughts, no extraordinary
calamities, the nation at large has
steadily grown poorer. To fix 1t all
nothing is necessary except to restore
the currency TO the 1872 basis"
Furthermore, the local Republican
organ warned the farmers and labor
ingmen Of America" a little while ago
that no prosperity can be permanent
except that it is based on the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver and gold"
1t declared three months ago that the
republic had never faced more immi-
nent peril than it now faces in spite
of the temporary good times.
But what's the use to point out the
inconsistencies and hypocrisy of a
desperate goldbug? In three months it

DANIEL O'CONNELL.

Daniel O'ConnelI, the Irish patriot,
politician, barrister and statesman,
died on the 18th of May. 1S47, fifty
three years ago today. He accom-
plished a great work for his people. and
his name viii always be reverenced in
Ireland. When he entered public life
there were about 5,O0O,0 600 Of his fellow
oountrymen and co-religionists in a
condition little short of absolute serf-
dom. To their liberation his who'll life
was devoted.
Great as was his fame as an advo-
cate, the practice of the law was a
mere incident in the life of O'Connen.
The technicalities and details Of the
work were calling to him. 1t was on
the hustings that he did the work of
his life. As an advocate of the right.
as a champion of liberty, he accom-
plished most
He was at his best perhaps in 1S43,
during the period he addressed the
monster meetings at Tara which Bull
wer described as follows:
Once TO my sight the giant thus was
given,
Walled by wide air and rooted by bound
less heaven;
Beneath his feet the human ocean lay.
And wave on wave flowed into space
away.
Methought no clarion could have sent
its sound
Fen to the center OF the hosts around;
And, as thought, rose the sOnorous
swell,
As from some church tower swings the
SilVery bell
Aloft and clear, from airy tide to tide,
II gllded easy, as a bird may glide
To the last verge Of that vast audience
sent,
1t PLAYED with each wild passion as it
went;
Now stirred the uproar-now the muir
murs stilled,
And sobs. or laughter answered as it
Willed.
Then did know what spells of infinite
choice
To rouse or lun has the sweet human
voice
Then did 1 learn to seize the sudden cIew
To the grand trOublous life antique-to
view
Under the rock stand of DemoSthenes
Unstable Athens heaVe her noisy seas.

erection and maintenance of a tele-
graph line is an expensive matter.
There has been, therefore, a contin-
uouS effort to use one line or two for
as many messages as possible at the
same time. By special arrangement Of
duplex and "quadTuplex" systems it
is possible to send several messages
over the same wire at the same time
without confusion, and various devices
have been brought forward from time
TO time for increasing the number that
can be so sent. Speed is gained also
by the use of machines for sending and
receiving, instead Of the hand work of
operators. The Hughes printing tele-
graph does this. and has been very
widely used for many years. However,
II several machines can be worked at
the same time over one line there is
still further gain. The most recent
system working on this principle is that

Rowland's Multiplex Printing Tele-

Little more than year ago a public
test Of this system was made between
Jersey City and Philadelphia. 1t has
not yet gone into commercial use and
all the details have not been made
public, but the main features Of the
system can be described.
The lines can be duplexed in the
usual way and beyond this point null
tiplexing is obtained in a manner that

ATTEND THE CONCERT.

There should be standing room only
at the Tabernacle tonight. The con-
cert that is to be given there by the
Salt Lake musicians and the Cambrian
association viii be the most brilliant
musical event of the season. All of
the city's talented artists will take
part, and the programme is the best
that has ever been arranged for A sim
liar entertainment in Utah. The price
of admission to this magnificent treat
has been fixed at the nominal sum of
% cents, and every dollar will go TO
the Scofeld sufferers. To every lover
of good music the concert will be
worth ter times the cost of a ticket,
and the cause of the widows and or
phans should appeal to those who have
no music in their souls. There should
be no unOccupied seats tonight.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Many were the expressions of regret
last evening that the Orpheus club con-
cert was the last of the present series,
and perhaps the last season of the club
IN the concert field. Another word OF
protest must be uttered against an
abandonment OF so excellent a plan. Last
evening concert was a great treat, and
rare one as we'll, for it is not often that
salt Lake hears such fine ensemble play
ers as the Spiering quartette. The Or
In Picardie' and The Destruction OF
GAIA. The Spierings then played the
quartette in Z fat minor by Tchaikowsl1y,
and at once established themselves as
artists. Eacn movement was enthuSi-
astically applauded. Mr.. Theodore B..
Spiering, the first violinist of the quar-
tette, played the prize song from die
Meistersinger" and Brahms Hungarian
Dance" arranged for the violin by
Joachim. He showed himself to be a
player with fine technique and breadth
OF tone, but lacking in the soulful ele-
ment. He was enthusiastically recalled
and played as an encore the middle
movement of the 'Fantasie AppaSsiOn-
alta, by VientempS. The variations from
the "DruinOr Quartette" of Schubert was
finely given. Mr.. Diestel. the 'celloiSt,
played lie Cygne," by Saint-Saens, and
'Etude Caprice. by GOtterman. The
first displayed the beautiful tones OF the
instrument and the the soul of the play
er, while the second showed a skilled
the 'JOcelyn Slumber Song" by GODDARD,
was beautifully rendered. The Beethoven
quartette in D minor, the last number on
the programme, was surprisingly beau
tiful, and given fine Interpretation by
the quartette.
The entire programme may be consid-
cred one of the artistic successes of the
season, with the single drawback that
the admirers of the OrpheUs club wished
to hear it again during the evening. Mr.
Arthur Sheperd acted as accOmpanist for
the club and Mr. Otto RoehrboTn accom-
panied the soloists of the quartette.
Tonight occurs the big concert at the
tabernacle for the benefit of the Scoheld
fund. A fine programme has been ar
ranged and an enormous attendance is
expected.
Much interest is taken in the prospect
of seeing John Drew at the Salt Lake
theatre Saturday night in The Tyranny
of Tears" by Haddon Chambers. The
box Office opens Thursday.

Jubilee Singers for Tuesday, May p. Mr..

or away from it in accordance with
the direction OF the current impulses
sent over the line.
These motions are recorded photo
graphically. For this purpose a small
cOncave mirror is fiexibly connected TO
the diaphragm and pointed in such a
manner that a turning movement is
produced which magnifies the dia-
phragm movements and causes a small
spot of intense light to move back and
forth over a strip Of sensitized paper on
a rapidly moving drum. The positive
line impulse thus produces an upward
detection of the spot of light and a
negative impulse produces a downward
detection. The first corresponds to the
Morse dash and the second to the dot.
The corresponding characters are
shown in the cut.

Our morning contemporary had an
other ferociOus streak yesterday. It
cut aud slashed at the Filipinos in a
way that was actually blood-curd!ing.
1t admitted that they are superior in
many respects to independent, peoples
and quite as well qualified for self
government as are the republicans of
Central and South America. 1t ac-
knowledged their greater fidelity to
principle than actuetes turncoat jour
nalists. but added: They have a
smattering of book knowledge. but
they utterly lack in that level healed
ness which fits a race to be self-gov-
ern-ng." That's a small matter. Nei-
Their has cur goldbug contemporary
that qualification for self-government.
Perhaps that is the reason it permits
Mark Hanna TO govern its policy.

A new face is put on the affairs OF

Even the Judge on u bench does not
always have pleasant time of it, as
the Judge of this district discovered
over in Hodgeman county last Tues
day. AL Stuart was brought into
court to receive sentence for man
slaughter and took hand in the. pro-
ceedings by expressing his opinion of
the court in language not to be found
in any of the usual law books. The
Judge finally ordered the fellow re-
moved and then the prisoner made q
gun play, but was quickly overpow-
cred by the sheriff. The question nat
urally arises as to what that sheriff
was doing, that a man charged with
so serious crime should be in the
court room armed with a gum.
