of this serious loss that last year Con-

These emigrants were among our best
citizens. The principal reason why they
expatriated themselves was the lure Of

! One Solution Of the Ever-Menacing Problem
Of City Congestion Is Found in the Mill
ions of Unsettled Acres In the West
Where Honest Workers Could
Find Homes.

By the settling up Of lands now unOc
cupied Mr. Stacey asserts that not only
will the congestion Of population in cities
be relieved to a greater or lesser exten.
but the wealth OF the entire country will
be Increased by the labor Of hundreds Of
thousands Of men who are to-day non
earners and only a burden on the body
polite through no fault of their own
These individuals will be benefited the
railroads transporting them free viii Ia
time gain large returns by the upbuid-
ing OF the country in which their lines
operate. and the United States at large
will have added to its population large
force OF wage earners and producers Tho
are now non-producers and who are rap
idly drifting toward the ranks Of those
who form the dead wood" Of American
society. and. in part. those who comprise
the criminal classes.
And at the same time the charitah
helping hand will be extended TO many
who are daily looking forward to chane'

do so without this assistance.

Wealthy Indian princes, mobiles and
gentlemen contributed generously and
hospitals were built and female medical
help obtained to alleviate the awful
misery and pain suffered by the girl
wives of India i'm their function of per-
forming the sacred duty of motherhood
At the commencement prospects were
not encouraging. Centuries OF supersti-
tion and unparalleled Ignorance had 10 be
combated and overcome, but with pa
tience, tact and rare sympathy Lady Duff
ferin kept bravely on. and before she left
India she had the satisfaction of knowing
that the demands for treatment, both out
side and as hospital patients, taxed the
capacity of the funds, the hospital staft
and lying-in wards TO the utmost.
Her work was carried on in the same
spirit by her successor. the Marchioness
of Lansdowne, and up to the present
time the highest castles, with the eXcep-
tion OF the Brahmin and Rajput. have
passed through the wards. But the wom-
en- doctors have for long time been at
tending these child wives of priestly
Brahmin and princely Rajput in their
own homes. Words of advice encourage
ment and hope for the future have been
whispered by the blond doctors TO their
brown patients during the prolonged
hours OF physical agony undreamed of by
the more favored women of the Occident.
and the words have fallen as seed upon
fertile ground.

These farms would be under the super
vision OF the society. working together
with a committee appointed by the state.
The amendment to the homestead bill.
TO which reference has been made, was
passed By the Senate last year following
a petition signed by myself and $50 other
citizens OF Nez Perce County. Idaho, hav-
ing been Introduced in the United States
Senate by Senator Shoup, Of Idaho. Since
that bill became law several thousand
settlers have taken free homesteads OF
100 acres. all OF which are now under a
good state Of cultivation. each farm being
worth from $500 to $4,000, according TO
location aud the improvements which
have been made on the property. Grain
and fruits are being shipped therefrom 10
Eastern markets. as well as livestock.
Il am fully convinced. and this convic-
ton is held by many others, that II the
Interstate commerce act be so amended
as 10 permit the free transportation OF
bona iide settlers to lands In the West
and Northwest. or. indeed. any other
mart Of the United States. the question
Of relieving the serious congestion OF
population which exists in nearly all the
large cities and some smaller ones In this
country will be solved at least TO an eX-
tent. although not entirely perhaps.
with this object In view the following
resolution was adopted at meeting OF
the society last week. and is to be pre-
scented I'm Congress shortly by a member
from New York:

PLAN has been devised by a
~ number OF men who have organ
n lied under the title Of the Inter-
national Colonization Society This plan
so certain people believe, is Utopian in its
conception and altogether impracticaole
from d business roint of view. Others
assert not only that it is feasible, but
possible Of being worked out in thor
oughly satisfactory manner. They also
state that it will relieve many American
cities of a large part of their consested
population. thus solving in a degree a
problem which confronts many econo-
mists.
Its object. briefly stated, is TO provide
partly through federal aid in the form
of an amendment to the Interstate Com
merce act. for the free transportation by
tie railroads Of the country to unsettled
lands in various parts of the West and
the Northwest of hundreds OF thousands
of unemployed men in the larger cities,
chiefly in the East where they Will be
given an opportunity to settle and by a
little aid from various sources enabled
TO become self-supporting and in time
prosperous. according to the varying am
btion and industry Of the individual.
James y Stacey, formerly State Sen
ator of Idaho, is at the head of this COM
pany. which was recently Incorporated
under the laws Of New York as "A chari-
table organization. He asserts that the
existing general opinion that all the de-
sirable farming grazing and timber land
i'm the United States has been pre-empted
and is. therefore. no longer available for
homestead purposes is entirely wrong

A RACE OF WEAKLlNGS.

Naturally. the progeny also suffers
Hence we find that the Hindu races
with the exception of the Sikh, among
whom carly marriages under fifteen
years. are an eXcepton-are generally a
race OF weaklings. No country in the
world possesses so many cases of de-
formity In it's inhabitants as India
Therefore IL naturally follows that the
death rate in India is higher than I'm
any other land. In large degree the cause
of the terrible devastation of such cpl
denies as cholera, plague. smallpox. etc,
is attributed to the unsaEitary condition
of the country. or course. there Is some
truth i'm this, but the enfeebled condition
OF the Indian is unable to withstand the
slightest bodily ailment Very rarely one
hears of the death OF European being
due To any OF the epidemlcs which claim
their toll from the offspring of these inn
mature marriages.
There is not the slightest doubt thst
the first seed OF this awakening OF woman
was sown not by the educational mis-
sionary societies or by the Indian males
who went abroad to study, but by the
infinite love and compassion OF one Eng

1t does not seem as though the public
school is the proper agency to deal with
this problem, for at the best it can only
control the child about five hours a day;

are often the very ones that are most
harmful to the proper development or
