Population Of Los Angeles 100000
THE swADEsHI

"HE threatened influx of Hindus tc
the coast gives a new force to the
fact that there exists in that
country widespread and threatening
discomfort in the breasts of the native
population toward the British govern
ment. and that emigration to other
lands may afford some measure of re-
lief from the constant plaques and
starvation that have been the lot of
the Hindu through all the years OF
British control.
From the days of the historic mu-
TIMES and the piratical exactions of the
East India company to the present,
the masses of the Indian people have
regarded British rule with a sullen
hatred, all the deeper because not per-
mitted public expression, and in the
course of years the few modern agen-
cies known to them have taught them
the power of organization, till now the
sentiment of deep national hatred for
all that is British is being sedulously
fostered by official and private means,
and its force is felt in all that vast
land.
There is an Indian national congress
charged with the non-resistant propa-
ganda. and all of the native press is in
cluded. These papers are printed in
the many tongues of the people and
tanning the smoldering flame. The
watchword is "swadeshi," which means
patriotism.
The annually recurring pestilences
and famines which decimate whole
provinces have gradually awakened the
survivors to rebellion, and the cold
blooded cruelty and rapacious exactions
of British ofieialdom have worn on
them till they have got together for a
national movement for some sort of
relief.
The chief cause of all trouble, how
ever, is the fact that there is lack Of
sympathy between British officialdom
and the natives, first shown in the
great Sepoy mutiny, and grown
stronger through centuries of enforced
association, punctuated plentifully
with bitter and bloody experiences. The
native prince of India bows to the
vicegerent of Edward of England in
public, but curses him in private, and
is copied by the lowest Sudra or highest
Brahmin in the land. Red tape hides
this hideous truth, but cannot kill it.
British statesmen see these things,
and have followed the cruel policy of
ruling these people by fear, but those
of the official class who have been in
contact with the natives know that a
great volcano is in progress Of forrna-
tion and may break out at any time.
When organization with unity of effort
shall have given power to this move
ment and when the pending national
movement called swadeshi shall have
reached power through culture among
the masses India may yet successfully
rebel against British rule.
If to such rebellion is added the
peaceful rebellion of "Sinn Fem in
ireland, and they should be synchron-
our. there will be busy and possibly
bloody times for Britain.

Significant Names For Guns.
(Army and Navy JonrnaIN

At the Fort Pitt foundry, Fort Pitt.
Pa, We're cast in 1867 for the monitor
Puritan two 20-inch guns, which Capt.
w. c. Wise, then chief of the Naval
Bureau of Ordnar &c, proposed to call
Satan and Lucifer. This proposition
called forth protest from the pastor
OF Presbyterian church at Pittsburg.
who characterized it as most unseem-
ly, II not impious." His letter was re-
ferred by the member of Congress to
whom 1t was addressed to the DEPART
ment, and finally came into the hands
of Captain Wise for reply. In answer
ne called attention to the foreign GUS
tom of giving to vessels such names as
Jupiter, Juno, Vulcan, Venus. Jugger-
naut, Inferno, and Lucifer and Satan
to convey an idea of the power of the
destructive agent used in battle. These
guns, argued the learned captain. were
not intended for peace and the utter
ance of good will toward men. but to
intiict as much mischief and destruction
on human beings in time of war as their
namesake, the devil, tries to do at all
times. He further reminded his cleri-
cal critic that number of clergymen
mad witnessed without protest his act
OF christening" in presence of a large
assembly of ladies and gentlemen the
FIRST 2O-inch gun cast for the navy as
beezlebub. However, the argument
did not preveil, for religious sentiment
was effective in preventing this use of
Biblical nomenclature.

The Cause Of Suicides.
New York WORLDLY

Bellevue has yielded a genuine sur.
PRISE to a number of experts from the
JOINT application bureau of the Charity
Organization Society who have been
working there for some months to fine
out, If possible, the reason why so many
New Workers commit suicide.
When the experts began this investi-
cation they shared the popular belief
that suicide was due to poverty. The
examination covered five months and
included every case of attempted sui
eide that reached Bellevue. The facts.
as now disclosed, are that not one of
the would-be suicides had ever applied
for charity before making the attempt,
nor, despite extended invitations, did
one of them apply for aid after being
set free.
Destltution, according to the investi-
gators, seems to play a very small part
IN leading New Workers to seek self
destruction. In only two cases was the
attempt directly traced to poverty. AL
cohollc victims and love-stricken per-
sons who were jealous were the con-
splcuous subjects. The great majority
of the sufferers were from the self-sup-
aorting classes. Poison was the favor
lite method used.

but they seem to be unable to solve the
other insolvable riddle, What is a
Democrat?" But our Norfolk contem-
porary notes the fact that there is one
class of Democrats that are thinking
and intelligent, and it is that class
which draws its inspiration and doc
trine from that eminent Republican,
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt.
There are certain political doctrines
that are good, and that have been
preached and adopted by both political
parties; and there are certain of these
doctrines that are claimed to have been
preempted by the Democratic party.
This is especially true of doctrines that
have been originated under new condi-
tions that have arisen in this country
within the past decade. The claim Of
the Democracy, however, is a mere pre-
sumption. Nearly every good political
doctrine that has been formulated and
placed before the people since the Re-
publican party came into existence
bears the Republican trademark, and
those Democrats who have adopted
them have shown their wisdom. On
the other hand, if the Democrats have
labored hard and succeeded in bringing
forth even few sound political doc
trlnes the Republicans have shown their
wisdom by accepting them. Only ia
natics and fools in oiitics as well as re-
ligion will cry out that nothing good can
come out of Nazareth.

SOME ARE WISE.

The worlds riddle, what is q Demo
crat?'' bids fair to go sounding down
the ages without solution as does that
older and solemn enquiry, what is
truth?' There are as many answers to
it as Homer had birthplaces and Column
bus graves. They who profess Democ-
racy are all sorts, sizes, compilations
and creeds. A large class is the Pad
dy's owl variety, which says nothing
but keeps up a devil of a thinking.
Another class clings to the Jeffersonian
creed as interpreted by Abraham Lin
coin. A third votes the Democratic
ticket if the nominee be running on a
Populist platform; and yet another
draws its inspiration and doctrine from
that eminent Republican, Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt.-Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Several years ago, just after Mr..
Bryan had addressed the Virginia Leg
islature, the Richmond Times Dispatch
declared that the Democratic party was

party the kicking, braying donkey.

temporaries have about solved the rid

Price Of Diamonds Still CLIMBING
New York World.)

Handwriting New Workers. who are
fond of ''sparklers" will be delighted to
learn that diamonds are rising rapidly
in price, according to statements made
yesterday by importers returning from
Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Paris. These
men say American buyers are eagerly
purchasing all the fine gems at figures
higher than ever before known in the
diamond market.
If the demand on the part of society
women for necklaces, breastpins, ear
rings and stomachers keeps on growing,
custom experts say New York during
the years to come will import far more
than $40, 900, 900 in precious stones. All
the newly-rich and the men to whom
the prosperity wave has brought big
salaries are clamoring for diamonds.
The Broadway restaurants and the
aires are ablaze with gems at night as
never before. Even some of the fash
ionable churches are becoming show
places on Sunday evening, owing to the
number of diamonds worn by the con-
gregations.
Meantime the South American dia-
mond trust has declared 33a per cent
net profit on its apparently inexhausti-
BILE blue clay beds, 1000 feet under
ground. One of the independent com
panies is paying 400 per cent profit this

turned $1,000, 900 in dividends on $780,
900 capital.

A WICKED DEVICE.

No more wicked device for curtailing
the electorate of a free people has ever
been invented than the present poll tax
qualification for voting in Virginia.
The leaders of the Democratic party in
the late Constitutional Convention pre-
tended that their labors were directed
to the end of so shaping our suffrage
laws as to get rid of the negro as
voter, and to leave the white vote un-
disturbed. AS a means for effecting
that purpose the understanding clause"
was adopted, and the result was the
wholesale Acknowledgement of the negro
vote of the State. But the partisans
IN the convention were not satisfied. and
showed their purpose to still further
curtail the electorate by making the
prepayment of an enlarged poll tax a
prerequisite to voting. The negro vote
having already been practically disfran-
chised, the poll tax qualification could
only effect the white vote. This has
been done, and as a result, nearly one
half the white electorate of Virginia
has been disqualified.
The poll tax qualification was devised
for the purpose of bringing about the
very conditions that now exist in con-
nection with the white voters. If this
Is not so, why was the.clause inserted in
the Constitution providing that: 1.-THE
collection of the State poll tax assessed
against any one shall not be enforced
by legal process until the same has be-
come three years past due?"
This was not only an invitation but
an inducement to the poor man to be-
come delinquent and thereby forfeit his
right to vote. Thousands of men have
been deceived into accepting the invita-
ton, many upon the mistaken idea that
they would never have to pay the de-
hnquent poll taxes. From this delusion,
however, there is to be rude awaken
ing. Those citizens who failed to pay
their poll tax for 1903 will soon find out
what wicked deception has been prac-
ticed upon them.
The delinquent poll taxes for 1903 are
now cOllectobIa w.. 49,. A.
will be put in the hands of some special
collector, who will be authorized and
required to collect by levy just as other
taxes are collected. 1t will then be
found that the tax ticket for 81. so. for
poll tax of 1908, has been swelled by in
terest, commissions and costs to not
less than 81. so. So the poor man has
in former elections lost his vote and for
his compensation for the loss will be
forced to pay the original $l.5O, with
interest thereon at the rate of % per
cent. per annum. This is pretty large
interest to pay on loan for three years,
which loan was obtained at the sacrifice
of the precious right to vote.
A wicked deception, a vicious out
rage has been inflicted upon the citizens
of this Commonwealth by the poll tax
qualification for voting. How long will
the injquity be permitted to continue?
