NOT A SINGLE RELIGION.
Hindooism NIultiplicfty of sccts,
With Only Caste In Common.

HindOOism is not single religion,
but a huge encyclopedia of distinct and
independent worslnips; it is not a unity
immense4 mu]t licitsz of 4seats and
their obserVances. IT may be des-
cribed as the az: gam Of all the re-
ligious ideas and uslges of all the In
dian peoples through all their past.
To no two classes IL no two places lis
it exactly the same thing, It's one per-
manent and distinctive feature is it's
social order: where caste is Hindoo-
ism is, where caste is not, (Hindooism
will not condescend to be. Grant this
fundamental institution, and it will be
tolerant beyond the widest occidental
dream of toleration. 1t spreads not by
the conversion of individuals, but of
tribes or peoples. Its unit is not the
person but the family; for the individ-
ual it has no place. with him it can do
nothing, and for him it does not care;
but the family, or the aggregation of
families which he terms caste, is to it
all in ALL 1t is more by his fulflllment
of his domestic duties, his fidelity in
his paternal functions and obligations,
than by his ritual conformity that q
mans orthodoxy is judged.
Hindooism is neither a philosophy,
nor particular worship, nor a belief.
nor any specific theology, but simply
caste. OF course, caste may carry with
it most of these other things, but not
in any uniform or authorita tive shape.
There are various philosophers, but
they are concerns of the schools; there
are many worships, but they are at
fairs Of the temple or the shrine: there
are nfinity Of beliefs, but they are
conditioned by time and place; there
are multitude of theologies, but they
belong to the sect. 81
The one thing inviolate and univer-
sal is caste; it fixes the lines within
which a man must walk. the customs
he must observe, the social laws he
must obey, the means by which he
must earn his living. 1t is at once
Ubiquitous and invincible, has lived
amid the laws and divisions Of states,
keeping the people one while the king
doms were multitude; it has contin-
ued and spread in the face. of linguis-
tic and racial differences and contro-
versies that have in Europe created
heresies and schisms. But the one
thing caste will not allow to be touched
is the family; it's omnipotence lies in
| it's power to isolate the individual ano
to reduce him to condition of more
absolute helplesness than could evel
be experienced by any solitary In 8
| teeming world which has no place fol
him, and where he is known of nc
man This is power which may
| grow. but could not be made; Which
the conversion of individuals may dc
more to conform and define than t
change; and which can be dissolved
only by a process as gradual and a:
linexorable as the process which form
ed it.-Contemporary Review

TO YAQUI COUNTRY
j. j. M'AULIFFE TO LEAVE FOR
MEXICO SOON.
Will Take in That Part of the COun-
try in Which the Wur Between
the Mexicans and the e/Indians is
Going On-NO Duluth Capital In
terested in That Section, but in
Peaceful Part.

J. J. McAuliffe of Duluth is prepar-
ing to leave for the state Of Durango,
Mexico, and will touch the Yaqui coun-
try on the journey. He will leave for
Copalquin, state Of Durango, tomorrow
or Sunday. In December, 1898, Mr..
McAuliffe was all through the Yaqui
country, where the Yaqui Indians are
at war with the Mexicans. At that time
the Indians were restless and consid-
cred dangerous. The present war did
not break out until the following June,
in 1899; and is still in progress
The dispatches OF late have drawn
the attention of the world to the va
qui country. The reports Of. fighting
from time to time for the past year
has interested the people of the Unit
eel States to a certain extent, but it
was not until a few weeks ago, when
a report came that six Americans had
been summarily shot by order of Gen
eral Lorenzo Torres of Mexico, that the
interest became general and quite alb
sorbing. Mr.. McAuliffe says he has
never doubted that the report of the
Americans being shot without some
reason other than was given in the
dispatches was unfounded. It is now
known that the Americans were not
shot and that the story was either a
fake or was based on misinformation.
McAuliffe says that he has met Gem
eral Lorenzo Torres, who is a brother
of General Torres, commander of the
Mexican troops. The former is govern
or over the Yaqui Indians, that are on
the warpath and is in command Of the
Mexican barracks on the Yaqui river.
Mr.. McAuliffe says that General 9Lor-
EMO Torres is fine man. He speaks
English fiuently and is considered a
good soldier
When went down,t to Mexico a year
ago last December" said Mr.. Torres,
I had occasion to call on General Tor
res at his palace in Hermosillo. His
son accompanied me across the Ya-
qui country to Torrin, where General
Lorenzo Torres was stationed. The
Mexican barracks were situated about
Is miles apart along the Yaqui river
and about 100 soldiers were stationed
at each. The Indians were hostile but
had made no serious demonstrat tions
up to that time for a long period. The
Yaqui Indians are all big, powerful
men and great fighters. The Mexican
government has never been able to
subdue them, but of course they will
succeed eventually
The Yaqui Indians are fighting be-
cause the Mexican government has al
lowed American and Mexican prospec-
tors to go on their reservations to ex-
plore for minerals. The Indians in the
state of Durango, where the Copalquin
mines are situated, and in which con-
siderable Duluth capital is interested
are 400 miles south Of the scene Of the
Yaqui hostilities. The Indians there are
semi-civilized and peaceful am going
down there and will have a chance to
see something Of the Yaqui trouble, as
Il will touch their part Of the country
on the way"

for the formation Of a corps of 500 fully

The patent for the land in section Is

ST. Cloud and from there was trans
mitted to the company at Cass Lake.
When the land was sold last fall it
was predicted that owing to the con-

lators, it would be years before a
patent would issue. but the patent
has issued and is now of record.

or scrip entryman, in which event the

While the Indians were disturbed
and it was good policy to allay their
fears by prompt actlon. the rumors
were groundless. People familiar with
the situation understood that if the
townsite could be scripped that the
entire reservation could be scripped in
the same manner and the Indians left
without either land, timber or money.
The Indians, however, could not be
made to understand the situation thor
oughly and the reports disturbed them
a great deal. Their fears have been
lset aside by the issuance Of the patent.

Old Are Pensions.

The popular demand for state pen

is based upon other grounds as reason

This demand asks for justice, as g
substitute for charity, at the hands Of
a ruling capitalistic class. IT is
claimed that wages, even at trades
union rates, are regulated more by
peting workers than by any standard
of fairness in the measurement OF
labor's share in the joint production

BOGUS DOLLARS IN MANILA
Much Couotedeit.ng Of American Money in the

Large Circulation of silver Permits IL
Members Of q Gang of Counter

Manila. June l0.--Correspondence OF
the Associated Press. The large circu-
latlonof silver money in Manila and the
Philippines has made an opportunity
foe counterfeiters, and there is evidence
Of one or more gangs IN Manila and
the provinces VINO manufacture spur
iUus coins. The counterfeters make
Mexican dollars from a baser and
cheaper metal, the American nickel Is
counterfeited and the brown five-dollar
bills have been successfully initiated.
But the cleyerest and most successful
scheme Of all Is the coming of Amer-
can silver dollars from Mexican silver
dollars. The silver in a Mexican dol
lar II stamped with the facings Of our
American silver dollar. at once doubles
IN value, for any one Will give you two
dollars Mexican for one dollar Ameri-
can. The advantage Of this scheme Is
that suiiiclenCy Of good metal can be-
obtained by melting up Mexican dol
lars and when stamped with the Amer
lean faclngs the new coins produce one
hundred per cent profit
Raids have resulted in finding sew
eral baskets fun OF bad money in the
rear Of a Chinaman's house and a Fill
pino was discovered with several thou
sand dollars worth Of counterfeit Eve
dollar bills, and q box Of re-coined
American silver dollars IN his posses
sion. The Chinaman and the Filipino
have made partial confessions and Civ
en- damaging testimony. II is now
evident that they are members of
