Should We Pay England'S Bills.

recent issue of the Chicago Inter Ocean
contains the following very sensible editorial,
which should be endorsed by every American:
Gaunt famine stalks through India. Nearly
5000, 900 persons are kept alive by public
charity, and the worst is yet to come. Ameri-
can missionaries are calling on this country to
save the starving. Lady Curzon, the Chicago
wife of the British viceroy, has made special
appeal for aid to her native city, A local COM
mittee proposes to raise $4,000 in Chicago.
Similar efforts are making elsewhere. The
state of Kansas is relied on for 100 car loads of
corn. Other states in the grain belt are ex-
pected to make similar contributions. The dis
distress in India is undoubtedly very great.
The famine promises to be the worst since
premises as Americans?
England has spent fully $500, 900 900 to
subjugate the Bo.rs, and expects to spend at
least $500, 900 900 more this year for the same
purpose, but she has no millions to spare for
India. The English people raise vast suns to
care for the widows and orphans of men who
have been sacrificed to exterminate republican
institutions in South Africa, but their own
wards are lett to the ravages of famine in Asia.
England has plenty Of means to pay for shoot
ing freemen and crushing republics, but only
few thousand pounds to save the lives of Eng.
lish subjects in Hndoostan. England is one of
the two richest nations on the globe, but she is
devotng ner wealth to land-grabbing cam
paign, and hence Americans are requested to
attend to her plain duties tor her.
'Suppose we respond to the appeal and come
to India's relief Shall we not, by doing in
Indie what England should do, aid in assuring
her the tree hand in the Orangs Free state and
the Transvaal? Shall we not, by assuming
England's duty toward India, indirectly help
her in the subjugation of the Boer freemen? Is
that object to which any liberty loving Amer
Jean cares to give his money? Should we help
England to husband her resources for the on
preston of the Beers by paying her charity
bills in India? These are the aspects of the
case which seem worthy of serious consider
a.ion.
"And We have our own India to look after.
There is starvation in Porto Rco-a condition
which unwise Legislation threatens to make per-
manent. While there are only thousands in
Porto Rico as against millions in India, vet
many of these thousands are dying The Porto
Ricans-our own people, at our doors-would
seem as worthy of charitable attention as the
distant and alien people of India.
"We have our own Booriboola Cha in Porto
Rico Why neglect our own and seek another
IN India? Why should we shoulder Enpland,s
Hindoo burden and aid her to save her strenptl,
to extermnate the Beers? Why not let EnG
lands responsibility to India remain with Eno-
land, where it belongs? If England preiess Il,
spend her money in war on the Beers, rpther
than in the rescue of the starving in India wb4
should we spend our money to avert the shame
of such a choice? Why should we paw anv
part of Engand's current bills?'

Two Couid DO IL.

Basel, Switzerland. was visited a
few years ago by an adventurous
Frenchman whose ruling passion Ia the
ascent of mountains Stunned by most
other tourists who value at least their
soundness of limb. He tried strenu-
ously to scale the Gopnltenborn, for
the sake Of carrying his name upon
the peak, but all his efforts were vain.
The next year he returned to the at
tack. and eventually. by tnking many
precautions, arrived at the summit.
On his next appearance at the table
d'hote he recounted his exploit to the
company and informed them that he
had planted on the spot blue silk flag
containing his name embroidered In
large characters.
An Engllshman, who had listened
silently, rose from the table and
marched out of the hotel. Two days
afterward parcel was delivered to
the adventurous Gaul. He opened It
and found inside his blue silk flag,
which his English neighbor at the table
d'hote had won from tho peak by his
own pluck and daring.

Garland ana the virs,nian.

Cleveland's first attorney general,
Garlanda specimen of what Lincoln
called the plain people-was born in
Arkansas and "raised" in blue Jeans.
One day, at the department OF justice,
he received a visit from Virginia gen.
tleman Of aristocratic manner, who
bored him horribly with talk about
FIRST families" sf
1T seems to me, sub," said the visit
or at last, that there are Gyarlands in
Moth Ca'lina. I once met gentle
man named Henry Gyarland, from
that state. May ask, sub, if he was
a relative of yoursY'
"First cousin" replied Mr.. Garland
shortly. HE was hanged for horse
stealing"
A look Of ill conceived horror and dis
gust came over the visitors counte-
nance. Then, drawing on his gloves, he
rose to his feet. took up his hat, and,
waving hand toward the walls Of the
room, said: "A fine collection of por-
traits you have here, Mr.. Gyarland.
Your predecessors In Office, pre-
sume?"
YES" grunted Mr.. Garland. The
virginian stalked out, evidently glad
to make his escape, and the attorney
general, turning to his chief clerk.

but came near being stumped on the
iron fixings. They got some old iron
wagon tires and cut them In proper
lengths. but hadn't way that they
could see to punch the necessary bolt
