london, May J.-The report that cholera
is strengthening its deadly hold on
ADMINISTRATOR India. brings the pitifnl
condition of that country more than ever
TO public view. About 90, 800, 900 persons,
for this is the population of the district
affected, are sweltering their squalid ex-
istences away amid pestilence and misery
that show no signs OF abating. Hundreds
of thousands of pounds in good British
gold, good German marks and American
coin have been thrown into the country,
but Judging from the latest advices all
this charity is merely a drop in the ocean.
The famine and its attendant complica-
ions appear to exceed in virulence any
two previous visitations.
The Viceroy. Lord Curzon of Kedleston,
and the Government are making ceaseleSS
eXertions to meet the terrible emergency,
but the stupendous difficulties confronting
them prevent the present supplying of re-
lief to more than five millions. In the
meantime the native states are dotted
with heaps of dead and dying and the
roads are crowded with CHASTITY bands
seeking to escape from the stricken tor
ritories. but who. for lack of food and
Wdltl, ulOStly OuCCll1lD III IL dllSLiDt.
One of the most hopeless features of the
whole affair is contained in the statement
of a special correspondent at Simla, who
writes:
Ten times the total relief could be laid
out in a single district without fully re
lieving it's distress. All we can hope for
is a succession Of good years to put the
people on their legs again."
The British districts are reported to be
so far escaping the large starvation and
mortality that mark the native states.
But that their condition is not enviable is
evident from the following description
sent by a Bombay correspondent of the
scene at Ahmedabad, a city in the presi-
dency of Bombay:
In a open space upwards Of 200 were
seated, old and young, being famine per-
sOnified. The smell arising from their
filthy RAGS was sickening and had at
tracted myriads of flies Some, especially
the old men, were bony frameworks. A
girl sucking two children was CHASTITY to
look at, but the little ones with hollow
temples, sunken eyes and cheeks, and the
napes Of their necks falling in under their
skulls, which seemed to overbalance their
enlaciated bodies and with wisp-like arm
and legs. were more dreadful still. Many
were SuI1cTlnS from disease ana NUMBERS
had the fever. Those who could work
we're sent on where tanks were being
dug. others were given a meal and passed
on to Inc poor house,
This picture is from a less seriously
affected part of the country. The suffer
ings in the remote districts, where the
famine is severe, where all the cattle
have long since died, where the water is
precious and where cholera has now ad-
ded its dread scourge, can we'll be
imagined.

proposed amendment in North Carolina.
He was interrupted several times by Rep
reSeDtative DOlliver, of Iowa, who asked
several irrelevant question, indicating
that he was the champion of the negro,
but Kitchin was ready with an answer
and f1oOred the man from Iowa.
Mr.. Kitchin explained that the amend
ment was necessary to preserve white
supremacy, and that it was not unconsti-
futional. He was frequently applauded
Representative Small also made a few
remarks upon the political conditions in
North Carolina. He referred to the fact
that the Tar Heel State had recently been
discussed in both branches of Congress
and criticised in a manner unwarranted
and unjust. Mr.. Small's time was limited.
but while he spoke he held the close at
tention of the House.
Representative Linney expressed him
self as much pleased with Adams nomi-
nation for Governor. Notwithstanding tn.
fact that he was stated for the nomi-
nation.
1t can be said now that Linney will not
secure the judgship. Had he been no5ni-

Law and at the new perils IN when the

il will summon and pledge all our MINIS
tors and people to a more determined
struggle against this enormous evil.
As TO marriage and divorce, the ad-
dress continued:
In the presence of this evil the church
cannot allow its rules on the subject OF
| divorce and re-marriage to be in any
case imperative and void. Let, if need
be the church law be amended TO more
perfectly express the New Testament
rule Of marriage. But by the voice OF ITS

| Whoever watches the daily press cannot
| miss the evidence of the hamefu degTa-
datiCn in the theatre, concert and canoe
hall. and on the race course. And the
tendency to great excess also in other
| comparatively innocent forms OF amuse-
ment cannot escape attention. Inc
seriousness of life seems largely forgot
ten, its opportunities of usefulness less
occupied, the vigilance necessary for
righteousness relaxed, and the love of the
passing world gaining in masterfulness
1t is not to be wondered at that every
earnest age has tended to reprobate all
amusements as incompatible with the
| Christian life. Experience has shown that
it is impossible to impose on youthful
and immature Christians a law which
many a sanity soul, Of thoughtful choice,
imposes on itself. The attempt to enforce
absolute abstinence from recreative
amusement reacts toward unrestrained
indulgence. A discrimination between
the admissible and the inadmissible, is
therefore, imperative. So great is the
danger to spiritual life that we suggest
that it would be profitable to place amoEe
the specia! advices of the discipline a
brief but cOgent statement of the pCl:lS
which attach to many amusements, of the
evils inseparable from others, and of the
principles by which the Christian should
regulate his choice among and his use
of them"
The address recommends either the
abolition Of the time limit on pastorates.
or a return to the old thrce-ycar limit
rule.
