THE MISSIONARY QUESTION.
Answer to Statements Made by
SOami Ram.

EDITOR GAZETTE.-ln the GAZETTE o
December 25th there appeared the &C
count of a speech given in Corvallis BY
one Soami Ram, native of India. II
the course of his address Mr.. Ram spoke
very disparagingly of the work of Chris
tian missionaries in India. In reply viii
you please give room to the following
from Mr.. w. M. Forrest, friend of mine
who for number of years was Bible
Lecturer at Calcutta, India, under the
auspices of the Christian Woman's
Board of Missions of the Christian
church. Yours Truly,

CHARLoTTEsvnLE, Va, Jan. Z, 1904.
REV. T. s. HANDsAKER.
MY DEAR BROTHER letter en-.
closing a press notice concerning one
Soami Ram, and his lecture on India has
just reached me. As rule I think it
useless to notice such wandering stars.
but in response to your request, I notice
a few Of the gentleman's statements. II
you think it worth while, you are at
liberty to have this letter published.
There are always few of these adven.
turers in this country securing money
from over credulous people under pre-
tense that it is to be used to benefit
India. Usually they represent that they
are native princes, or great high priests
OF some kind. 1t is to the credit of
Soami Ram that he is content to be sim
ply graduate and ex- x-professor from a
Hindu college. know nothing of this
man, but if he is not an imposter he is a
misguided dreamer. If he could be fol-
lowed up for time, it would doubtless
be found that the money he raises is just
about enough to pay his expenses.
When he gets back home there will be
nothing left to educate young men in
America. or anywhere else.
His statements that the missionaries
are lazy, luxurious, useless company
are utterly devoid of truth. They do
not live as the natives for the simple rea-
son that they have to take extra precau-
tions in order to Withstand the trying
climate. But their homes are plain, and
invariably devoid OF comforts that could
be enjoyed at home. Their salaries are
small compared with what men of the
same ability get in this country. They
endure separation from native land, they
brave tropical heat and pestilence, they
suffer separation from their children
who have to be sent home at an early
age, they not infrequently ruin health
and even part with life by their toll for
India. The great difficulty that is ex-
perienced in inducing even godly men to
become missionaries is proof that the
life is not one of ease and profit. Those
who credit and repeat the unfounded
charges made by strangers against their
heoric countrymen in India would be the
last to endure the hardships of mission
sry life themselves, or permit their chill

q
discovery Of one of Watterson' S
1urid editorials on the nomina-
ton of Hearst for President.
Scientists connected with the
Lick observatory, of California,
while in Chill, were shown one
of the most important geological
discoveries ever made in South
America. The find is remark
ably perfect specimens of the
ichthyesaurus, and the signifi-
canoe of the discovery lies in the
fact that South America has never
been known previously to furnish
any specimens OF these prehistoric
silurians so valuable to science.
This interesting fossil was dis
covered near Coquimbo, Chill,
and the specimen has been un-
earthed in almost perfect con-
dition. Other valuable speci-
mems have been found in the
same place. Professor Merriam,
occupying the chair of historical
geology at the. university, says
that so far as he is aware no
specimen has been discovered
which rivals this one in complete-
ness or in scientific value. We
always had a spite against Adam
for giving such pretty animal
as that such an ugly name. We
wonder how the first pair got
away from Noah's collection,
fet to South America and got
themselves mixed up in the lower
Silurian strata.
The old saying that "a lie we'll
stuck to is better than the TRUTH"
has no better exemplifcation in
all history than the famous 8 to ?
controversy, when Hayes was de-
clared elected by the Electoral
Commissioner. This is called
by the Democrats ''the ctime of
'76." "When Tilden was swim
died out of the Presidency" etc.
What are the frozen facts in the
case? The Electoral Commission
was a democratic body, elected
by democratic votes, composed of
8 Democrats and 7 republicans,
with the acknowledged purpose
of voting Tilden into the presi-
dency, by force and fraud. The
republicans had no power to pre-
vent this fraud being consumated.
1t was only defeated by the over
whelming ambition of one of the
democratic members of the COM
mission itself. The commission
consisted of FIVE from each body.
The Supreme Court, the Senate
and House. The commission
was elected by the votes of 1s7
democrats to 80 republicans in
the House, 26 democrats to FL in
the Senate. The democrat who
will charge that this vote elected
. republican majority on this
commission, displays his ignor-
auce at once. Nobody but a fool
will claim that a democratic ma
jority of 159, about three to one,
would elect republican majority |
On commission that was to have
the electing of president. The
absurdity of the proposition is its
own answer. But the democrats
had overreached themselves in
the makeup of the commission. |
The five from the Supreme Court |
embraced three democrats and
two republicans. That included
every democrat in that body. |
One of these members was David |
Davis of Illinois. But David |
got the presidential bee in his
bonnet, and as preliminary step
wanted the vice presidency. |
This he thought could be reach
ed better through the Senate
than through the Supreme Court.
He resigned from the Court and
was elected a member of tha
Senate. When he was elected e
member of the commission he
was a member of the Supreme

REPORT IS WITHHELD
The Full Account of the Japanese
Victory Not Given Out
RUSSIAN PUBLIC IN IGNORANCE
Official Explanation is That Unnce-
essary Alarm on the Enemy's Au
thority is to be Avoided.

ST. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Up to
Sunday night, the Japanese report OF
the loss of three Russian ships at Port
Arthur has not been published here,
though the authorities have allowed
to be printed a statement that the
squadron had made a sortie, and also
the news of the loss Of japanese tor
pedo boat destroyers. Some OF the
papers have even commented with
satisfaction on the prospect of
fight in the open sea, where the mer-
its of the two fleets would be fairly
tested.
An official explanation Of the sup
preston of the Japanese report is that
the admiralty is unwilling to unnec-
sarily alarm the public by the publ
cation Of such statements entirely on
the authority Of the enemy and in
the absence Of definite advices from
the commander at Port Arthur.
The officials do not attempt to dis
guise the seriousness of and the far
reaching consequences which might
result from, the loss Of three Of the
Port Arthur warships, but they pro-
fess to be more inclined to believe that
the vessels were lost in open fight,
rather than the result Of a torpedo
attack. Should this be the case, they
say, the Japanese could not have es-
caped without material loss and the
Gripping Of one or two of their bat.
leships-enough to assure the COM
mand of the sea to the Baltic squad
ron.
There is much speculation as to
whether the Vladivostock squadron
might have gone out and whether 1t
is on the eve of joining the Port Ar
thur fleet.
1t is reported that a serious land
fight has taken place near Ta-Tche-
Kiao, in which the Russians were de-
feated, but no confirmation of this re-
port is obtainable.
