Thomas p. Hughes Joins issue with Mr..
william j. Bryan In regard to the latter's
mestsrful exposition Of truth about tho British
p,lsrule In India. publish I'd In THR sUN Mr..
Hughea does not and cannot refute q single
statement In Mr.. Bryan's article.
In Indian parable illustrates the case Of
india and the Brlttah. An honest and simple
minded nrahmhn was carrying q lamb on
hta shoulder. Three ohariatans saw him
and Devised y Plan OF getting the lamb from
hlm without mourning his curse. They
atood at different points In the way that bio
was going by. Each Of them. when the
Brahmen psssed by him. greeted him with
rev and salutation, and then remarked;
why. Maharaja, you q holy man, are carry
Ing thlA dog. an ~unolean animal, on your

angrily at tho hrst man. The second time
he got suspicious and looked at the lamb 10

Of wealth By the aliens. The Indian National
Con gress was started In 1885. and In Its
life Of twenty-one years has rendered a
valuable service In educating the people
on political llues and creating the sentiment

has at last convinced o large portion OF the
people that the source Of the evil lies in the
allen government, which exists solely for
the purposes Of systematically robbing the
country. The partition Of the province OF
Bengal, which had enjoyed comparative
prosperity owing to the permanent settle
ment OF land. was the last straw on the back
Of the camel and created q gulf between the
rulers and the ruled which is widening every
day. Tho people OF India awoke from a
