TilK CU1TSE OF INDIA
CASTE. WHICH FIXES THE STATUS
OF EVERY HINDOO.

Tn tio flvod Bonlo of descent In India
iomi classes are merely Inferior, whlla
tome are "unclean" or "untouchable.
but from whatsoever class a man be
born In he has no escape but deatb.
Children born In an "unclean" caste
remain "unclean:" children born In an
inferior caste remain as their fathers
were. Nothing that they can do can
in the sllchtest degree change their
situation. They were born "unclean;"
rtmir ancestors were "unclean:" ttelr
descendants will be "uuclean" till the
end of the chanter.
Tn r1ve a few Illustrations from
many, a weaver Is lexs "unclean" than
a carnenter. a carpenter Is abova a
house cleaner, a house cleaner Is above
a street cleaner, and a street cleaner is
ahnve nnriah or no caste man. Every
trade or occupation has Its exact place,
arbitrarily fixed, In the scale of degra
dation.
Above all the men that labor with
their bands In whatsoever way are
the tradesmen and shopkeeper, also
with anhdlvlHlons into classes; abova
the tradesmen Is the useless and now
almost idle warrior class; above tne
warrior Is the Brahtunn or priestly
class, and with these grand division

Wflnitii or material situation or sue
cess has nothing to do with the caste of
any man. You may hire for your cook
or valet a Brahman of the purest strain
serene, who for weeks before you en
nired him may have been on the verge
of starvation. The meager beggar to
whom you tons nlms In the road may
be of a very high caste, me wen iu

a mate a mile below the beggar. Time
no more than effort can break down
oimo walls nt division. On of the
wealthiest and most distinguished fam
illea In Calcutta, the famou Tagor
family, lost caste about two cenrurie
ago. Members of this ramuy nave re
ceived honor from the government,
have conferred great benefits upon city
and country aud have been noted for
their numerous charities ana Denerac
tlons. One exerted himself all his life
to further native education. Another
heined to endow Calcutta university
All are enormously rich, and all bear
enviable reputations for goodness, boa
esty and philanthropy. But the wall of
riiHtH has never fallen for them. They
are atlll hated and avoided by their
countrvmen exactly as they wer at
the heeinnlns: of their exclusion. In the
streets of Calcutta is many a ragged
artisan that would not sit on tn same
bench with a Tagore or touch the end
of his robe.
Pain, suffering, penury, even death
lUelf, Is nothing to the Hindoo com
rmreil with the loss of caste. Many a
Hindoo that In the old day would
yield nolhlng to the most fiendish tor
ture oulcklv surrendered his secret
when threatened with something that
would contaminate him a plec of
cowskln, perhaps, or a glass of water
that had beeu touched by a pariah. In,
I suppose, thousands of case person
that have hopelessly lost their caste
tinva nhnmliilllMl their linmPS and Wan
dered1 miserably along the road until
death overtook them. Thousand of
others have thrown themselves Into th
Cnnire or deliberately starved.
