ICLAD CASTE. its Rule Among the Hindus' Abso- lute and Unchangeable. THE POWER, OF THE BRAHMAN All the Wealth of the World Would Not Enable a Lower Caste Hindu to Wed Into Hie Family or Touch Hie . Hand Tyrannical Social Divisions. Cast distinction In India 'is a thing difficult for a foreigner to comprehend. All the racial or religious distinctions which separate European nations from each other and divide them within themselves do not equal the number of classes Into which the nindus are di vided by what la known as "caste." The 200.000.000 Hindus are made up of diverse racial elements and spenk about nineteen developed" lauguages and over 100 dialects. They "are again divided into over 3,000 castes, most of them with subcastes.; ; One of these castes, the Brahmaug, is split up into more than 800 subcastes, of which none wiir intermarry and few will eat to gether. ,?v - . '' 1: ,.,' ', The term "caste" includes so many things that it is difficult to define it There ate. however, two properties es sential to a true caste first,' there is no entry except 'by birth; second, mar riage outside the caste is absolutely forbidden. To preserve the purity and clety many minute rules of conduct many, restrictions on food and many ceremonial observances are Imposed on the members and enforced by penalties which cannot be evaded, against which there is no appeal and which in ex treme cases follow, the offender beyond the grave. " i . ' - But that is not alL The relations of castes to each other are as much a matter of religious observance as the rules for their interna regulation. The Brahmans are the highest admittedly and undoubtedly superior to . all the rest After them come those who are acknowledged to be twice born. 'The less honored follow in a graduated de scent until , the untouchable and un speakable are reached at the lowest Jepth. v -.''f V; It may be urged that the separation between the Brahman and, let as say. the Eorml market gardener Is no wider than that between the peer of the United Kingdom and the coal miner. There Is this essential difference that It . Is : impossible for an . Indian to change his caste. The coal miner may be elected to parliament, may become a cabinet minister and If be can make money enough may marry his son to a duke's daughter. , ' : VVi ' The Kurmi must remain a EurmL All the wealth of Croesus will not en able him to make an alliance with a Brahman family or to touch a Brah man's hand. The members of a caste may and in some cases do raise them selves in the sight of other castes by adopting more elaborate ceremonies and more scrupulous observances. ' A half civilized Gond, for example', may find himself brought into contact with Hindus as the plow encroaches on the forest. He tries to raise bis po sition und add to his self respect by adopting the exclusiveness of his Hin du neighbors. He will , even outdo them ,lf he can. and If the Hindu is scrupulous about his food the eohvert will wash the very wood with which his dinner Is cooked.' ' ; No endeavors of this kind, however, will avail to lessen by a hair's breadth the distance between him . and the caste Hindu or even to Induce the Hindu barber to look upon him as a client whose chin he' may shave and whose toe nails be may pare without degradation. v ; V . Another point connected with caste which has a very practical bearing and must be taken into account is the power of coercion which it gives to the brotherhood. If a man Is excommuni cated by his caste fellows nobody In the caste will marry him or 'will ac cept water from his hands or will eat with him. .; If be la married his wife will not touch him or ?peakto him.

The vil lage barber will not shave him, and ide washerwoman will not wash his c'othes. These are the methods of bringing pressure on the man. The strictest boycott which Irishmen have Invented Is mild compared to the final sentence of- a caste puncbayat. ' A system like this is a stern fact which has to be faced. There is not a police case or a civil case or a trial at the sessions, there Is hardly an ap pointment to an office In India of whatever degree, In which the matter of caste has not to be considered. It forces Itself into every assessment of land revenue. Into every adjudication of rent. It affects the administration of Justice, the proceedings of . munici pal and district councils. The Influence and power of the Brahman and the Idea that be Is above the law and is not to be pun ished tfs other people-are still alive, although a century of -British Justice has done something toward eradicat ing them. On the other hand, the sug gestion that a man of a lower caste mlgbt rise to an equality or nearer to au Equality with members of a caste above him Is unthinkable. Where the low caste men are.; there they must remain. If they behave themselves it will be made up to them in a future existence. London Spectator. THE PARIS K23. FAISZB KJ Fir Street Xa Grande, Ore.
