territory neither is Porto Rico. These
simple facts may aid him in legislat-

which he will no doubt be called upon
to do just SO soon as the people find
out who he is. He :. may decline to run
for congress but if he once gets into
the hands of his friends they will

The Sailing of tie Relief Ship.
Editor Courier-It is now certain
that the India relief ship will sail with
. q cargo Of corn for the starving Hin
docs some time late in April. The
d Christian Herald of New York will
have ready the $4,000 bushels OF corn
which it has so generously pledged to-
S ward the cargo. The question is
whether the people of the great west
en- states will furnish as much more to
complete the cargo. Many communities
are responding generously. Cannot
something be done by those who read
this? The time is brief for action, but
long enough if some earnest man or
woman will take the matter up. Much
can be done in ten days or two weeks.
AZ mass meeting, called and presided
over by the mayor, or some pastor,
followed by a few hours work by two
or three canvassers, might result in
getting enough money to put on board
i the ship fifty or one hundred bushels
J OF corn, and this would carry number
OF people thru the famine. Is there not
someone who will start the movement
+ money, or if you prefer, send the mon
ey to the Christian Herald, Bible
House, New York, and the. receipt OF
it will be duly acknowledged; but in
that case kindly write me what you
haze done. The fact that.the ship will
be sent out by that paper is sufficient
guarantee that the expedition will be
CAREFUL and wisely managed.
