ft The Dalles Ityily Chronicle, The only Republican Daily Neicspapei n Wasco County. "MONDAY. FEB. 15. 1S97 EASTERN OFFICE 250 to SSi Temple Court, N. 1'. City. E. KATZ, Agent. THE LAW'S DELAYS. A couple of weeks ago August Iiindstrotn of Tacoina killed his o-year-old son and himself. He had grown despondent over the interm inable drawing out of a lawsuit in which all the property ho had was involved. A few days after his untimely demise the courts decided the case in his favor. There is absolutely no excuse for such delays as occurred in Lind stroni's case, or as occur in thousands of other cases. In our own state cases drag in the supreme court from year to year, until it has ceased to be looked upon as a court where wrongs may be righted, but is hold by the litigant with money, as a threat over his opponent who is without. It has become a source of dread to every honest litigant who is not rich, for in it his propcity and his rights ma' be hung up indefinite ly. And so it has become a sort of assistant to the scheme of forcing impoverished litigants to settle on such terms as they can get, rather than have their rights and their prop erty jeopardized for an indefinite time. It is discouraging indeed to a poor man who has won a legal battle to be hauled into the supreme court by the other fellow who has money, but who has no other object in ap pealing than to subject his successful opponent to exasperating delay, or forcing him to a losing compro mise. It the supreme court cannot handle the business, some arrangement should be made for increasing the number of judges, or increasing their hours of labor from one to two. There is but little hope that any organization of the lower house of the legislature will take place. The fight has been so long and so bitter that the parties thereto are not in a condition to treat the situation in a business-like and politic manner. Onlj' after the legislati re his dis solved, when the members have re turned to their homes and have had time to cool off, will they bo in con dition to act. Perhaps not then, but certainlv not before that time. Ow ing to this bitter feeling, wo think the idea that seems to bo gaining ground that at the last end of the session the clashing factions may get together, is without an)' substantial foundation. The lower house will not organize, and the legislature will adjourn Friday. Governor Lord being inimical to Mitchell, will not call an extra session, unless it can be demonstrated that Senator Mitchell is out of the fight, and as this cannot be done, there will bo no extra ses sion. Lord Douglass, or Sholto Douglass, the youngest ton of the Marquis of Queensberry, who some time ago married Lorctta Addis, an American girl and a concert singer, made a hurried trip to British Columbia re centl' in order that the coming heir of the house of Douglass might bo born on British soil. Lord Douglass thir.ks he has been unkindly treated by the American public and press, and in order to gratify his personal cpleen . and satisfy a long-cherished and deep-seated plan of revenge, do libcrately arranged to prevent his heir being born on Aniorican soil. It is possible international complica tions over the affair may bo avoided by the use of 'diplomacy ; but still it strikes us that Lord Sholto is real mean. Corbett is beginning the fight with Fitzsimmons over the telegraph wires and through the columns of iho big dailies. He is bragging now about the manner in which he is coiner to knock Fitzsimmons out in n round or two. Tsow tlmt the great state of Nevada lias opened her doors and extended her hospitality to the short-haired and long-tongued prize , "8 fighting gentry, it would be becom ing on the part of Corbott ct al to go ; quietly to the scene of conllict, and tin a spirit of fiiendly rivalry beat one another to death. By far the best cartoon ancnt the legislative fiasco is that in the Salem Statesman yesterday, entitled "A Yard of Pop-pics." It shows Bourne Craig, U'lien and others as full blown poppies, Davis and Yoglc as buds, and liiddlc and Povcy gone to seed. Words cannot convey any idea of the suggestions of the pio turc, L must be seen to bo under stood and appreciated. HINDOO HOUiiOKS. Terrible Suffering Occasioned by the Drought. A Ceyloneso In Chicago Tolls of the Miseries of the J'oor lluililhUts Contagion and Starvation Are i;ife. "The present drouplitin India is one of the most .scvero ever known," said Mr. Vincent L. Tissersi recently. "I am from Ceylon and know what the horrors of a famine resulting' from drought are. Ten or li; years ago the Ceylonese were the ictims of a com paratively mild water famine, but the suffering1 I witnessed then wrung my heart and 1 can see as plain t's though I were in the country the agony of the starving Hindoos. The liritish papers have not given the truth in its pitiful completeness, and oven though they did all in their power to alleviate the pres ent distress thousands must die of starvation. Itussia's proffered aid was refused by the English for political rea sons. John Bull wants nothing done that will augment the kindly feelings of the Hindoos for the KuFsianK. There are 1200,000,000 people and nearly all of them are vegeterians. They believe, it a sin to kill an animal and the result is easily seen. No vegetation on which they can subsist can escape the drought, and pathetically sincere in their belief of the teachings of liuddha, the poor, ignorant people will starve rather than prove unfaithful to this time-honored tenet of their religion and eat the llesh of animals. "America has spent millions of dol lars in sending and maintaining mis sionaries in India and 1, as a. Christian, am thankful for it, but now is the time when the Americans, and the churches especially, can show that the love and charity they have preached so many years to my countrymen are not'nierely subject's of discourse but real condi tions. Aid from America would do more for the conversion of these people than all the preaching that has been done in all the years since, missions were lirst established in India. It is a charity the ignorant could understand and I know and (Jo.il know.s how woefully they are in need of it now. "A car load of husks would be re ceived with the joy of n people who have been living ou roots that the drought has spared. Millions of people have no other food and knowing the likely result.s of such diet they still must cat. Leprosy is the outcome in many cases, but what will not a starv ing man do? Think of your own arctic explorers who resorted to cannibalism. litit leprosy, though the most dreaded disease, and a common one in India, is not the most prevalent or fatal of the ills that come from root diet and im pure water. A plague called in the native tongue 'burbonic' fever, some thing like yellow fever, carries off thousands. I hear daily that it has be gun its ravages to add to the horror of starvation and poverty. One day S00 died of it, but it has not begun to do its worst yet." Mr. Tiwera is a Ceylonese. At the time of the world's fair he camo to America in charge of the agricultural products of Ceylon. Obtaining a three months' leave from the railway by which he wn.i employed at home that h- might visit further the country with which he was fast becoming impressed lie trav eled all over the union. That decided him and he resolved to make America his home. He is the first of his nation ality to go into business in this city. Ue-side his native tongue, he speaks Portuguese. Tamil, the-tongueof south ern India, Spanish, Kuglish and is now mastering the (icrman language. He is not a recent convert to Christianity, as the religion has been handed down in the family from the time ot the nrst missionaries, 100 years ago, when the forefather of the present Tisscra was converted.
