BRITISH CIVILIZATION
IN INDIA

The horrifed attention OF the whole
India. where steadily, week by week. the
plague spreads and the death lists pile
up.
In the last six weeks the recorded
deaths in all India from this terrible al

ratio remain until the end OF the year the
total Will approximate 390o,0o0
Plague began in India I'm 1897 with a
total OF a little more than 1000 deaths.
since then every year, with one exceH-
ton, has shown an appalling increase.
and the disease originally confined 10
Bombay has been carried to every part
OF the peninsula.
Bubonic plague is purely a matter Of
bad sanitation and bad government il
can be suppressed wherever competent
government makes an earnest effort on
radical lines to suppress H. That IL should
have spread through India In this awful
fashion until II has reached proportions
that threaten the country with depopu-
lation, is the last indictment OF Great
Britains monstrous mismanagement of
her trust. She has ruled India merely
to extract from II all possible revenue
and tribute, and the inevitable results
of her greediness and selfshness appear
In perennial famine and terrible pesti-
lence.
Our British friends have much to say
about the msgovernment of American cit
les. No doubt we have done i'll enough;
but the worst OF our achievements in any
part OF the world shines like a halo be-
side the best achievement of $50 years OF
British rule i'm India.
Not In any spirit Of vaunting we may
we'll enough compare the American war
against yellow fever in Havana with
Bombay or Cawnpore under British mis-
management.-New York American.

THE PRESENT DUTY.

Yesterdays convention proved to the people
that the fight for honest government here is to be
fought to the finish. There will be no faltering or
finching on the part of the leaders.
Now the rank and file has its duties to dis
charge-the immediate one is to register; the ulti-
mate one to vote for the candidates named by the
Democratic and Lincoln parties. The man who
doesn't register before the 2oth of the coming
month will not be entitled to ballot in November.
1t is conceded that the existing registration
laws are narrow and harsh, but they must be COM
piled with in the present in order that they may be
made more equitable and just in the future
Moreover, no man who is worthy to exercise
the franchise would knowingly, in the face of the
tremendously important isses TO be decided on
November next, fail now to equip himself to cast
a ballot and do mans part in settling those issues
right.
The imperative duty OF every man who does
not vote on property is TO register at once.

uals. II the present owners will deed
these now worthless properties to the
federal government. or IL the swampe
could become national property by the
payment OF some reasonable price, the ar
gument for drainage under federal aus
pices would command attention.
IL is both proper and wise for the gov
eminent TO reclaim by irrigation. TO I'm
prove by forestration or TO convert into
property of the nation. The argument
that the nation should or that II may i'm
prove state lands or private lands by
drainage systems would find parallel In
proposals that the federal authorities fer
ti,ize lands of like ownership for the pur-
pose OF making them more productive
than they are now.-New York Sun.

Power of Falling Water.

It is perfectly well known to every one that water constantly droppin,e upon stone will wear it away, and there is trite old proverb regarding this fact. The force of a single drop of water falling from a height is not great, but the results of this tiny blow when 1t is many times repeated are astounding. There Is story of one poor wretch who was bound with hi; back to q stone wall and had stream of water of the bigness of q mans finger directed on to his bare head the water falling from height of about eighteen feet. The receptacle from which this apparently harmless stream trickled was barrel holding only twenty gallons, but before the water had more than half run out the man was dead with a hole in his skull which exposed the brain.-Popular Me chanics.

The relatives of this man, as is well known, decided afte,. 1ls death to have his remains cremat- ed, and the climax of the story occurs, when the undertaken, opening the doo, of the oven to see whether incineration was complete, was appalled, to hear the corpse speak out and request him to close the door and shut off the draft The American sprung the joke as eff fectively as he could, but never a smile was his reward.
