THE INDIA FAMINES.
The Tiihuns has frequently said thnt
the famines In India are famines of
money, not of food This l fully con
Armed by th returned medical mis
slonary from Portland, Ore., Dr
Maud Allen. She ha been ln India for
seven years, whence she has Just re
turned, nnd says that It Is Idle to
send food to India, because there Is
never any renl dearth of grain In the
country, but that It Is the rapacity ot
the money-lenders that causes the dis
tress. These "banyas" have the money
they got a "corner" on the supplies and
fix tho prices at prohlbltlvo rates. In
seven years Dr Allen has seen two
famines, but Itry were confined to cer
tain districts, the rest ot India could
supply these districts with wheat, for
the warehouses are full, ir the people
had the money to buy It. The doctor
has wondered why the American people
did not know this Hut they did know
It. As we sold above, we have re
peatedly proclaimed It It was known
In all the world that India was export
ing wheat In shiploads at the very time
that the ravages of tho famine were re
ported Hie worst. At the same time,
it Is true that there was a real dearth
of food In th districts where the famine
pievalled Thore wero mighty distri
butions ot fond Iiv the llrltlsh authori
ties, the starving were fed on a scale
never liefore seen In any famines be
fore, Ir the world's history, but the food
lo do this did not need to be sent to In
dia, there was plenty there, and If the
people had had money wherewith to
buy, If they could have softened the
hearts of the usurers so that money
could have been had, there would have
been 110 lack anywhere.
THE CHAIHiE WAS TRUE.
I)r. Arendt, who on Saturday was
censured In the German Diet lor say
ing the llrltlsh Ministry had broken Its
word when tho Hlnietnllto conference
Instituted by President McKlnley was
pursuing lin labors In llurope, spoko
the truth, notwithstanding. Tho
learned dm tor Niild thnt Pieslilont Mc
Klnley iilmost secured a bimetallic vie
loiy, thnt "If that victory was thwnrtcd
when the goal was almost In sight, It
wan simply due to tho llrltlsh Ministry
bnuklng Its word." Tho president of
the House censured the Doctor, claim
ing It wan ngalust order for a. member
to chnrgo a friendly power with a
breach of faith. Tho president was no
doubt correct, nnd It was technically his
duty to call tho member to order. And
)ct It In clearly within tho memory of
us nil that It wan precisely tho brench
of faith which Dr. Aiendt refers to that
defeated tho labors of President Mc
K I nicy's Illmetnllla Commissioners. Tho
labors of thin body prospeied In Tranco
and Germany, and like success was 011
the curds In London; tho Ministry had
agreed, but backed down nt tho last
moment ln consequenco of a selfish pro
test from the nlllclnls In India, who, If
bimetallism prevailed, wero alarmed
lest the purchasing power of their
salaries should full, nnd so Insisted nn
tho mnlntcnanco of the gold standard.
It Is pxid to hear that In other places
than In the mountain regions of this
country tho facts ot the case are remembered.
RESOLUTIONS OF SPITE.
The surprlso of tho day Is tho attl
tudo of the Chamlier ut Commerce nnd
tho Men hunts1 Hxch.ingo ot tiiin Prati
rlsco toward tho Chinese exclusion hill.
They both condemn the mensure that
Iras been iigrocd upon by the Western
delegations in Congress, nnd now pend
ing In Hint body, nnd call for modltl
cations which ate so sweeping that to
call the lesldue an exclusion bill would
lw a farce. The action of these com
mercial Itodlca Is said to be tho result
ot tho municipal cumpalgn there last
cr, when tho labor ticket wonngalnst
the candidates of the two old paitles.
If this Is so, Ihe resolutions nmnifut to
nothing, for It Is not possible th it Con
gress would consider the diegs from
tho rhagiln of defeat as of nny force
against the bill Nor do wo see any sign
ot weakening In the ri'.lfornla delega
tion on the bill ns presented. Thnt bill
should lie passed. It allows plenty ot
liberty for the entrauco of Chinese In
transit, and for the Incoming ot genuine
merchants and ot officials. It would be
a most uiifnvnrablo time Just now to
let down the liars of exclusion', Chltin Is
In a ferment, the country Is unsettled,
famine threatens, and business and
families are broken up. If exclusion Is
taken away, there would come a rush
of coolies and degraded characters from
China, compared with which all former
ones would be ns the bursting of a
child's toy dam tu a till compared with
a crevasse on the lower Mississippi. We
could better have suffered uninterrupt
ed Ingres! for the past ten yearn than
a eor of It now. The spite resolutions
from Han Prunclsco don't count. The
country expects Congressman to stand
film and pns the bill, and pass It, too,
In season so that there shall ho no lapse
of time fiom the expiration of the
Geary act till tho new exclusion meas
ure goes Into effect
GREATEST NEWSPAPER, PLANT.

THE RETIREMENT OF SAMPSON.
Tho retirement of Admiral Pampson,
announced this morning In the most
handsome, tetms by tho Navy depatt
ment, recalls tho unjunt obloquy Hint
has been heaped upon that great com
mander, who deserved no much from
his country and haa recelvtd so lit
tle. Tin sorrowful news thnt ho Is In
n mental deillno which Is Incurable,
and that his inevitable cud Is Intellec
tual eclipse, conies concurrently with
the noilut of his retirement. The ap
preciative letter written him by Pi eel
dent McKlnley la also given; It makes
plain the eminent eeivkea of Admit nl
Hnmpeon, and serves to awaken tho
profoundest pity nnd sorrow for the
fate of tlw man whoso life has been
marred If not shatteied by unreason
ing CHlumnv and Indecent partisan as
saults. The controversy that ha con
tered alwut hlu and Admiral rhley
lia been the unfortunate and regret
table Incident of the Spanish war.
And jet It has not been altogether
onescleled, although tho dirty and al
tcigethci false assaults made by Mac

so. In tlw public revolt aealust the
Mac lay charges. Itut a cleaier view haa
pievalled generally In tho navj, and
among many tu civil life. This view Is
foiclhly Htnlad by Harry I.oomls Nel

sbtise their popularity 10 the Injury of
the Government whoe welfare thej are
bound to put above their own ambitions
Tho appeal of Admiral Sampson's at
torneys to the President against tho
obiter dictum of Admiral Dewey ns to
who was In command at the destruction
of the Spanish lleet off Santiago cannot
but be sustnlned The United States
courts, after n full hearing In tho prize
money awards, decided that ln favor
of Admiral Bompson; it was a public
scandal for Dewey to assume to reverse
that decision, especially after he had ro
fused Sampson nny hearing or protec
tion as to his rights and standing; had
ruled out all on that point, and when
that matter had not ln any way been
submitted to tho court, and was by tho
court's own order not before It. Tho
whole controversy is a grlof to every
well-wisher of his country, who laments
tho d.amngo to both principals con
cerned In It, and grieves that It lias been
made n sectional nnd political matter.
There wns In truth glory enough for nil,
and all should havo been content to do
their whole duty without strife savo
against the foe.
The disapproval hy tho Interior De
partment of the bills of Senators Kearns
nnd Itawllns for the opening of tho sur
plus lnnds of tho Ulntnh reservation to
settlement, Is not surprising. It Is well
understood that the Indian offlco would
like to hnve this whole Western coun
try reserved to the Indians exclusive!,
banishing the whites from nn area a
thousand miles square. But the fact
remains that there Is In the Uintah
reservation a vast nrca of land of
which the Indians can maka no profit
able use. It Is merely a question
whether these surplus hinds shall be
held unused In perpetuity or bo made
tho homes of white men who could
mako profltnblo use of them, without
hurt to tho Indians. Tho Indian llu
re.au is ngnlnst tho white min all the
time; nnd nothing Is conceded by It.
snvo when n Colorado company wauls
to Invade Utah and m.ako a clean-up on
tho reservation nsphaltum lanus. if
Heaven would nnco In u decade or so
bless tho Indian Commissioner with a
llttlo liorso sense. It would bo such an
unusual nnd pleasant n thing as to
causo tho people to rejulcc.
The experiments with nlcohol engines
III Germany aio viewed with keen In
terest. The Kinneror waa reported In
tho cable letter from Berlin j.sterday
morning iih active In promoting the
tests, and urging prlsea for serviceable
alcohol engines. There are of various
make, and tho alcohol used In thorn is
mixed with benrlno opsonic other hy
drocarbon. Testa in Trance showed
that nlcohol carburelted with ben.lno
or coal tar naphtha, h is a heating forco
1.43 times that of pure nlcol.01 Theeu
experiments wero mado at hn exposi
tion In Paris of npp.irntus and mcthnels
of utilizing alcohol In the arts The re
sult of tho exposition wain a showing
that nlcohol should be given "a fnlr
trial In tho broad fields of heating,
lighting and motive porer on a com
mercial scale," ns the Engineering
Magazine (Now York) expresses It Tho
world may bo on tho threshold of tho
utllUntlon of, a new p ower-fucl, tho
origin of whose use would lie traced to
the excessive production of alcohol In
Krsnce and the Impossibility of doing
nnv thing with It, either by way of uso
or export.
Itctrlbtitlon overtnkes the scoffer
occasional!), much to the satisfaction
of tho elect. Hero is Dr. Pfelffer of
Boston, who didn't believe In vaccina

necessary to eseuro Bmallpox is to keep'
clean, and who didn't think thnt small
