THE H4RASSED HINDU.

To the poor Hindu! If he stays at home he is in danger of getting bitten by a deadly snake, or the equally deadly plague. If he emigrates he is likely to be looked on as an undesir- able citizen. Just now he is being de- spised and rejected in this country
 and also in Canada, where, being a British subject, he is legally entitled to decent treatment. Canada, Australia and British South Africa cannot law fully discriminate against the natives of Asiatic territories of his majesty, and yet all of these colonies are ap- parently determined to keep out the East Indian coolies. Natal has tens of thousands of Hindu contract Iaborers in it's plantations, but very severe re- strtctions are imposed on them, and even on Hindu traders. The Transvaal government has declared the Hindu ineligible for citizenship, and in other parts of South Africa they are confin- ed to certain quarters and are forbid den to send their children to the white schools New Zealand is bitterly hos tile to them. The home government has occasionally protested against col onial treatment of It's Hindu subjects, but its protests have not checked the restrictive and exclusion movement In the least, The Indian government,

When We Know We Are Right.

 Should never hesitate If he would gain the splendid height
 Won by the truly great Behind his knowledge there should b2 The will to have his way, The strength to press on stuobornly
 Despite what others say Columbus had the strength to dare
 When others proudly sneered; When doubt led others to despair
 A steady course he steered Twas not enough that he was right
 He had to press ahead Till land at last appeared, in spite
 Of what the doubtful said. Success is for the fearless few
 Who, being right, proceed In splte ut all the others who
 Step forth to scoff and plead; But there Is one great truth to be
 Forever kept in sight; We are so often wrong when we
 Are sure we must be right. -s, E. Riser in Chicago Record-Herald

NOT RECEIVED is FINAL.

The declaration of Governor John son of Minnesota that he is not a cam didate for the Presidential nomination and doesn't intend to be isn't received as final In fact. it wasn't final enough in It's terms to really settle the ques- ton. There are many people who are not candidates for the nomination and don't intend to be, but who could, nev- ertheless, be persuaded to yield to "the will of the people" Governor John son didn't say he wouldn't yield to that will, and so many think he would. It doesn't yet appear that the people are really crying for him. When they do perhaps he will feel that his duty to the country demands that he shall not let them cry in vain.
 The only way to decline a nomina- tion for the Presidency that seems probable, or even possible, Is to decline 1 it as President Roosevelt did, and then stick to the declining. His words were definite, and he didn't leave anything for even "the will of the people" to get hope from.
