A. Million Men Must Die.

There is now beginning in British
India a great land devastating famine.
1t has been preceded by n winter q!
growing scarcity an d high prices
within the Punjab, in tn region
about Alluhabad, Lucknow, Gavin
pore, Benares and Agra, and also in
parts of Rajputana and the Central
Provinces.
Though long foreseen, the famine
il inevitable. Noforesight can avert
it, no generosity can prevent from
perishing of starvation vast numbers
of people. "A million or more" is
the estimate of Benjamin Aitkin.-
How many more will depend upon
the extent tn which the plague rages
among the emaciated victims. The
worst months are March, April and
May, unless the June rains fail to
bring fresh fodder and vegetables.
That happened last year. The mon
soon. which should have come in thu
month of June, began ON July 10Th.
aud ceased n fortnight too early
Rainfall was scanty, grass a hall
crop, vegetables failed. Cattle hav,
been STRIVING, and the people, hav.
ing sold their seed grain, their tool,
and the very doors of their huts, arr
now To take their turn. The gov
eminent will replace the bullocks
when they are needed, and furnish
seed grain. The problem is to keep
tie people from dying in the mean
time.
Relief works will be undertaken, re-
lief camps opened. Young civil SER
wants and doctors will work them
selves to the bone. rs KipIing has de-
scribed them, directing these under
takings. But the vastness of the
area. the swarms of people, above
all. the caste system, make effective
help impossible. A man who is not
a basket-maker, like his father be-
fore him, will die before he will make
baskets TO carry dirt from the new
canal. A woman will throw her bit
by to the jacknls rather than take
food polluted by the touch of Il lower
caste. All castles alike, who, When

described by Nine. BhikhaUi Cana, in
The Worlds Magazine to-day.
The English may truly say that
there were famines before they came,

attempt mt relief. But ut least in
the old days the Hindoos starved af-
ter their own fashion, and were not

they in India.-New York World.

Last week in the advertisement of

wagon with iron wheels, hickory
axles, and long hardwood reach for
$50 complete for cash, another firm
in Grand Junction offered wheels
