local issues of overwhelming national

BEGGARS IN INDIA
They Are Fast Disappearing.-Oniy
About 100000 Left.

The beggar nuisance is a very COM
mon one in India and the endeavors
of the police in the large cities to put
it down have met with only a limited
due to the fact that Indian opinion IS
remarkably tolerant toward sturdy beg
gars, especially if they wear the guise
of religion. But there is reason to
believe that a wholesome change is
coming over the public sentiment in
There were about five millions of beg
gars in the country at the time of the
last census, and nearly one-fifth of the
number were classed as religious mem
dicantS. The number, large as it is,
represented a decrease of about per
cent. from that at the previous census,
and the decline has been attributed In
part to the comparatively heavy NOR
tally among them during the famine
years. But. says the report, sit is also
partly attributable to the spread of
education and the consequent weaker
hold which the So-called ascetics have
on the Imagination of the people," it
being much less easy than it was form
erly for the members of the various
begging communities to unloose the
purse strings of the people.
There is happily, reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is fiItering down to the
ioWeF leVeiS. IulS eVll is not conHHeu
to one particular community or re-
ligion. 1t is as rampant among the
Mahometans as among the Hindoos.
The "Sar Jadid," an ably conducted
vernacular paper, published in upper
India, dealing with questions of
social reform among Mahometans, has
been forcibly calling the attention of
its co-religionists to the necessity of a
reform in their notions of charity. Our
contemporary shows by a reference to
the Police Gazette that the number of
Mahometan beggars under surveillance
has been rising every week. I cite in
stances from the records of criminal
courts to prove that some of the men
who pass for religious teachers have
been convicted on charges of fraud and
immortality committed on the property
and persons of men and women who
had been nlisled by their religious ap-
pearance.

WORLDS GREATEST RLNTSHOP.
Tens of Millions of Documents Turn
ed Out by Uncle Sam.


The Government Printing Office at
Washington, which has been brought
prominently to notice lately through an
investigation of the award of contracts
for typesetting machines, is the largest
establishment of its kind in the world,
and nowhere can be found such an ex-
tensive department in any printing
office as that devoted to what is known
as job work. The amount of printing
coming under the head of job work
turned out by this Office is one of the
principal items at the establishment.
Among the larger items of work per-
formed by the job room may be found
blanks, circulars, cards, letter and note
heads and envelopes, 10000 600 of the
latter being required each month for
the various Government departments.
The blank" department of the job
room embraces an infinite variety of
forms, some being but few square
inches in size to others containing sew
eral square feet. For this branch over
$3.50, 600 is expended each month for
the purchase of raw material. Card
board is necessarily a large and inn
portant item, the average months run
being 3,OOO,0OO sheets.
Congress, of course, has great need
for the job room, for there the SOlens
of Capitol Hill find ample facilities for
the printing of the innumerable mailing
franks for seeds and documents and

measure, even such as might be elaib-
grated from President Roosevelt's de

obey the existing law and that if the

not sufficient, they must be reinforced

"I would have each Circuit Judge try
cases which were brought to his atten-
ton as having originated in his cir
cut, and would have an appeal court
consisting of the other eight Circuit
Judges, who could convene at certain
periods of the year to dispose of ap-
peals, their appeal decree to be re
viewed only by the Supreme Court of
the United States. That idea has APP
pealed to Senators and Representa-
uves converSant with practical rail-
road affairs as a most sensible, feasible
and comprehensive plan."
This announcement that Senator FL
kins has called q meeting for Novem-
Der 10 to frame a bill providing for
railroad supervision and regulation by
the government, that he is convinced
that action by the coming Congress is
inevitable and that he will assist in
passing a bill satisfactory to the Pres
ident Is important and interesting.
Taken in its fullest significance, it
means that Mr. Elkin's committee will
no longer stand in the way of enact
ment of law that will enforce upon
the railroads the application of uni
form rates to all classes of shippers
and the discontiuuance OF secret re-
bates. 1t is not doubtful that the rail-
way authorities will welcome an
enactment that will enable them to say
to all applicants for special favors that
the law is binding upon them. 1t will
be easier for them to conduct business
on an even basis when they can point
to the statute as forbidding them from
clandestine arrangements Their atti-
tude In regard to the private car lines,
they disclaiming any responsibility for
the extortionte charges made by these
lines, is a wholesome sign.
Committee Has Been Hostile.
Rightly or wrongly, the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
has been credited with being the chief
obstacle to the enactment of legislation
to restrict and correct the abuses of
railway management After the
House of Representatives had passed
the Esch-Townsend bill at the late
session it was carried into that COM
mittee and there held up until the
adjournment of Congress- A vast

Electric Railroads in Ireland.

The Introduction of light railways
into Ireland has, it is asserted, been
productive of great benefit to thou
sands of farming cottiers, enabling
them to get better prices for their
poultry, eggs and pigs, while being put
to less cost for transport to market.
Possibly, motor-wa CONS, calling from
farmhouse to farmhouse daily, may be
destined to supersede light lines as
feeders of trunk lines: as there
would be no outlay for permanent
way, working expeDses would neces-
sarily be much less,

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
SENATOR ELKINS BELIEVES 1T
WILL CONE NEXT SUMNER.

Is Willing to Cooperate With Pres
1dent Roosevelt i'm Passing Salts
factory Measures to Control the
railroads.&c. Outlines His Views.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins, OF West
Virginia, in announcing the other day
the call for a meeting in Washington
on Nevmber 10, of the Senae Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce, said that
he was convinced that action on rail-
road rate legislation at the coming seS-
sion of CognreSS was inevitable, and
that he would cooperate in passing
bill satisfa Glory to the President.
Il thing am justified, said Senator
Elkins, lin stating that all the Re
publican, or majority members of the
committee, have concluded that there
must be railroad legislation this win
ter. The President, / underst and, is
as emphatic as ever in his judgment
that the railroad rate and private car
line problem must be dealt with de-
cisively. / think there is no doubt
that some sort of bill will be passed.
Quick Work by Committee.
ssThe committee will not be long in
framing a bill, as I believe the indi-
vidual members have formed definite
opinions on what they desire, and all
that will remain to be done is to agree
on some one plan. This, think, will
not require more than two weeks, so
that when the Senate convenes in De-
cember bill will have been framed
for presentation to the Senate.
My idea is a measure for the ref
erence of all rate disputes, passenger
and freight, to a court of interstate
commerce, to be composed of nine
judges-one for each judicial circuit of
the United StateS-Or for such disputes
to be referred to the Circuit court
judges without the creation of a new
court. Congress at all times is op-
posed to the creation of new courts or
commissions, and for that reason the
new court plan would no doubt meet
with serious opposition.
II do not believe that the Inter
state Commerce commission should
be allowed to deal with the question.
1 would keep that body intact to dis
charge its duties as at present and
would not give it the additional work
of regulating rates. My idea for the
reference for disputed rate matters to
the Circuit judges meets with general
approval in Washington, and hope to
convert the President to my view.

military power is to be disbanded and

Return to the actory and the Farm.
The little men who never turned
aside in making assaults upon the en-
envy are to return to the factory, to
form with deft fingers those wonderful
art treasures that are the pride of cul-
tured homes the world over, to devote
their genius to the combination of col
ors with effects that cause Western ar
lists to admire, but which they cannot
equal The little patient men will go

The tactful merchants, ever polite, but
capable of sharp practice withal, are
to dispense the wares that come from
the loom and the workshops of Japan
to all the nations of the earth.
The Japanese have from the first
claimed that their war with Russia has
been for the maintenance of their ma
tOnal integrity. Baron kanckO him.
self disclaimed the charge year and a
half ago that the Japanese have been
bent upon military glory and that their
victories would fire their ambition and
urge them forward to greater conquests
over Western nations from whom they
learned the modern arts of war. He
now scouts the idea that the Japanese
will become the military allies of China
for the conquest of the Western world
Although they can fight, the japanese,
like the Chinese, are peace loving, and
the whole trend of the nation is toward
internal Development.
Now they are to prove to the world
that their declarations have not been
mere pretence. They are to beat their
swords into ploughshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks" They are
to take their place among the Christian
nations that have recourse to war only
for just cause. They are to send
their ENJOYS to The Hague to WOO the
