How Famine is Manufactured in India.- To the Elli/or of [Brynolds's Newspaper. SH ,â€"-In your extracts from my speech as llornscy Public Baths, given in your paper to-day, you make me say that ‘- one-sixth of India’s total gross rental value is consumed by us every year.” The case is far worse than that. We annually drain out of the country under ' British rule in India. without any com- l m rcial return whatsoever, more than i twice the amount of the total gross t'cutul value, to pay away to well-to-do Eng- lishmen at home in the shape of home charges for the army and the India Ofiicc.fur interest on loans and divi- dends on railway shares, and for pen- sions to retired military and civil ofii ecrs. The total amount thus cxtorted from India year by year, which is now being extortcd month by monthâ€"even in this famine yearâ€"i3 not less than $330,000,000 worth of produce, measur- cd in golll, not in silver. What I said at. llornsey, and what I intend to repent again and again all over Great Britain, is that this is fully one-sixth of the £180,000,000. which is the total value of the agricultural and manufactured produce of all British India. reckoned in lgold. Such an infamous tribute was never before exacted in the history of the world. All the tuisdoings of l‘luypt, of Rome, of Carthage, of the Ottoman Turks were chil-l's play to this. In. ad- dition, we pay every yearâ€"we are pay- ing in this awful famine year as usual â€"â€"le0,000,000 of rupees by way of sal~ twins to Europeans in India. I hope your readers will carefully reflect upon what this all means. . What it does mean is that we are steadily impoverishing India for the sake of the idle reactionary classes here in England as no country was ever im- povcrishcd before. The famine is di- rectly due to our rule. and is created by our Government. The millions who must perish will perish because we take away their subsistence. This Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Dcvoushire and Lord Lausdowne all know as well as I do. Let us hope that Englishmen will cm long wake up and (Injustice on be- halfol the Indians and for themselves. Anyway. the present system is nearing its cod, and great will be the fall of it. â€"â€"Your obedient scrvrnt, H. M. Ilvxmrax. 9. Queen Anne'sgatc, S. W., Januâ€" arv 31. ISQT. 'l‘.

Some time ago an editorial appeared in the Wurdrr accusing .‘lr. Nell-ough- III! of having mail contracts cancelled for political purposes. We did not beâ€" lieve it when we saw it,as we know that the li'urdcr will state things that, are not true, and that the editor know: ‘, 5mm, 0,. am. pm, Humor mus, be made to be untrue. Upon enquiry we found that it was entirely untrue, and that no mcmumeudation as to the cancellation of any mail contract had bi-cn sent in by .‘lr. McLaughlin or by any per-on on his behalf. We thought well to t ldiately before the retirement of the former government, so that there was no option left for the new Government but to advertise for new tenders. The further the investigation has been pressed the more evidence has been found that the covert threats that were made to the various Liberals who hap- pened to hold mail contracts through- out the constituency, that their con- tracts would be cancelled unless they vored for Sam Hughes, were really in- tended to be Carried out, and that Mr. Hughes was continually appealing to Sir Adolphe Caron to cancel any con- tract that happened to be held by Libâ€" crals. Mr. Hughes' ideas of political liberty belong to an age long past, and are in direct contradiction to the spirit of British institutions. Edward Lansfield has been the mail carrier at Fenelou Falls for many years, and has given the public universal sat- isfaction. The one fault he had was that he was a consistent Liberal, and no amount of threatening on the part of Hughes or any of his henchmen who were doing the shady work around Fen- elon Falls was sufficient to cause him to waver. Letters were written many times. and personal interviews had by Mr. Hughes with Sir Adolphe Caron to get him to deprive Lansfiell of his con- tract, bnt he never succeeded in doing so until a short time before the last election, when the party exigencies were so great that. the dying Government was ' willing to do almost everything and any- thing, and Hughes finally procured the cancellation of Lansfield‘s contract. The new postmaster-general had no authority to let contracts in any other way than by tender, and this matter passed through the department in the usual way and tenders were advertised for. Titan appeared Mr. l-lughes’ediiorial. The following is a copy of the final letter which secured the cancellation of this contract : OTTAWA, 27th February, 1896'. Dean Sm Anomalyâ€"Some time ago you promised to call for tenders fur the carry- ingot‘ the mail from Fenclon Falls station to Feuelon Falls. You may remember the contract was renewed without my being consulted, although several had written to me demanding a chance to tender. Will you kindly let me know at an early date, and oblige. They are still ruisinga row with me because tenders were not called’ funâ€"Yours faithfully, [S‘ng 9*. Sn: llnourzs. Melancholia on account of the loss of two children has developed an abnormal appetite in an Odessa woman 32 years of age. She first tried to commit sui- bide by drinking petroleum and a. solu~ tion of carbolic acid. She then took to swallowing metallic objects, beginning with needles, nails, hairpins, buttons and steel pens, and winding up with forks and teaspoons- The doctor, who took thirty-seven pieces of hardware out of her stomach, asked her how she got them down. She answered, “ Oh, it is easy with the handle first." A highly ingenious apparatus known as the “pneumatophor” has been in- vented at Vienna.
