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. Chicago News.
