The Famine in India

The horrors of the famine which il
devastating India are such as to invoke
the commiseration of the civilized
world, and to call for the utmost efforts
of the benevolent everywhere. We
cannot sit by and see our fellow-men
starve, or perish from diseases induced
by famine, even although they be Of
an alien race and on the opposite side
of the globe The American people
are becoming fully aroused and large
contributions are going forward from
all countries, but least of all, it would
appear, from the nation which con-
quered and looted India and which is
now responsible for the welfare of its
people. 1t is astonishing that in this
age of the world nation should be-
come so absorbed in the conquest of a
weak people in one continent as to be
in a great measure insensible to the
appeals of a dependent country which
it has already subdued in another con-
tinent.
But if England neglects her duty to
her unfortunate the more remains to
be done by us and others. We cannot
let men perish for lack of food. Pesti-
lence follows famine and feeds upon
the emaciated bodies of the starving.
The victims of the plague, cholera and
smallpox are in the main those whose
bodily powers of resistance have failed
for the lack of food. They cannot be
saved, but it is the duty of society to
rescue those for whom there is still
hope. The present famine seems to
equal in severity any of the great num-
Der which have preceded it and there
is little reason to hope that similar
Affections will not recur at frequent
intervals. The Indian races are mis-
erably inefficient and are controlled
by fatalism which excludes the ex-
pectation of self help. They inhabit
one of the most fertile regions of the
world, which is capable of supporting
a much larger population even than
that which is now there, but the people
seem to have reached the limit of their
power to improve the bounty of nature
to their own support. It is sad case.
They need help and need it quickly

TO PROSECUTE EARL RUSSELL.
Countess Takes Steps to Test the
Nevada Marriage.

A cable to the New York World
from London says: The Countess Rus
sell has been advised that the best
means of testing the validity of the
Earps American marriage is by prose-
cutting him for bigamy. She has ac-
cordingly laid her complaint before
the Public Prosecutor, with whom the
initiative rests.
The Countess wishes to avoid, if pos
sible, proceedings for divorce, which
would be playing into the hands of the
Earl. He is living with his new wife
in cottage at Taplow, close to where
the Countess stays with her mother.
They otter meet in the street and boat
ing and stare at each other coldly.
The Earl last week attended meeting
of the London Council, of which he is
an Alderman. He was greeted by his
friends as usual.

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: England never
did lean much from might to right
but she has never leaned any harder
on might than she did in her war
against republican Institutions in the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
In the beginning of the war Lord Sails
bury and Joseph Chamberlain denied
that England was actuated by avarice
for gold or greed of territory. This was
intended to allay the suspicious of the
rest of the Christian nations. Now
that England has practically prevailed
in her war, Salisbury and Chamber
lain say that because they said that
England was not actuated by avarice
for gold or greed of territory, the same
should not now be construed to mean
that England will not accept gold or
grasp territory, having the might to
do SO. OF course, Salisbury and Cham
berlain were speaking automatically
"a. nickname for lying when they said
England was not actuated by avarice
for gold or greed of territory, and the
Christian nations ought to have under
stood it that way in the beginning.
Salisbury, in his speech before the City
of London Conservative Association,
used the following cruel words: 'These
men (Boers) are perpetually pressing
us to make some conditions, to offer
some arranged stipulations that shall
leave shred of independence to the
republics. Our only certainty of pre-
venting a recurrence of this fearful
war is to insure that never again shall
such vast accumulations of armaments
occur, and that not a shred of the
former independence of the republics
shall remain" Those words are not
diplomatic words. They were uttered
in the drunkenness and exaltation of
success-when the truth comes out.
Let Republicans and Democrats be
aware. Never again will England per-
init any people to arm themselves to
protect their independence. Never
again will England give any people
any chance to assert their independ-
ence, and the right to govern them
selves. Never again will England al
low any country to obtain a shred of
independence. In accord with the
spirit expressed by Salisbury, Lord
Roberts has changed the name of the
Orange Free State to the Orange
River State. If he had felt the same
exaltation and drunkenness as Lord
Salisbury, he would have called il ire

This contract Is OF record in Douglas

ner defined their boundaries Some Of
the first settlers conveyed their lands
to immigrants by bill of sale An i'm
migrant would come along with a yoke
of oxen, or team of horses, and he
would swap the same for the land set
tied upon, and the settler would drive
on, and the immigrant stay The gov
eminent finally surveyed the land in
1854, and after the survey the farmers,
in order to conform to the legal sub
divisions of such survey decided back
and forth to each other. Then patents
were taken out as fast as the work
could be done I now desire TO i'm
press upon the present holders of such
titles, the necessity of connecting the
patents with the rights of the early
settlers in order to obtain the water
rights of the early settlers To Illus
trate: The Motifs settled, believe, in
1854; if the present owners desire 10
succeed to the water rights obtained
by the Motifs, they must connect their
present title by proper conveyances
from the Motifs, because if they con-
meet themselves simply with the patent,
their water rights win begin with the
patent. In other words, if it is moi
shown that any one owned the land
upon which the Motifs settled, no water
right could run without an ownership
So, connection must be made with the
rights of the first settlers, and it mus
be shown that they owned the land
and how they parted company with
the title, and that the present owners
are the successors in interest and
grantees of the first settlers, showing
an ownership from them down through
all the grantors to the present owner
