THE CRIME OF CASTE.

A short time ago the writer CON
versed with an English doctor, who
had spent several years In British In.
dia, in reference to the crime of
caste. The Doctor considered caste
in its general effect upon the people
Of that country, as crime against
humanity.
According to the laws Of Brahman.
ism the Hindoos are divided into
many castles, and the members Of one
caste may not intermarry, eat, or ev-
en- intermingle with those Of another
caste, and Hindoo who does not be-
long to some caste Is Pariah, an
outcast. This Engllshman said that
lat was caste that enabled his country
to retain Its hold upon India, and
that while he did not as rule be-
lieve that it was right for the people
Of one country to put yoke upon
the people Of another country, he still
thought that a people saturated with
caste as the Hindoos were deserved
a foreign yoke, and that a foreign
yoke was In seine particulars benefl.
cial to them.
This conversation with the Doctor
was called to mind while reading the
account Of New Years at the White
House. Mr.. and. Mrs. Taft threw OPP
en- the doors of their home and al.
lowed thousands Of people from every
walk Of life to surge in and shake
hands with them. What a contrast
between such a reception and that OF
an Oriental nabob's? !.
While there is no such thing as
caste in this country, we are not as
a people entirely free from trace
of the yellow stain.
The person favored by fortune or
circumstances. who imagines himself
or herself intrinsicaily better than
people in some humber walk Of life,
is not entirely free from the faint.
No person Of genuine worth is low
cred by association with the poor or
the aowly. 1t is always safe to str
pickles with a sterling silver spoon.
