At no tlmo since the English established
their nile over the vast aggicgatlon of peoples
ples and territory known to the u t of the
world as India has their capacity to hold
the country and their moral right to posectn
* t been subject to severer testa than they
ecein likely to bo put to now. The task of
governing India In the pant , says Harper's
Weekly , has been comparatively easy , be
cause the various rates were kipt opart by
racial and religious prejudices , the mem
orle of former conflicts , and by the compar
atlvely little Interference of the new con
qucrors with their customs , usages and laws ,
and the complete toleration accorded to any
mid every form of religious belief. The
early administrators of India , too , were leba
Interested In collecting taxes and making
pleaRlng reporU * to their superiors In Eng
land than In extending the territories sub
ject to their Influence , and augmenting the
profits of the trade done by "Jchan Kum-
panl , " nn the old Hast India company was
familiarly called. With nil the talk ot "tho
blessings of peace , " by which the Kng-
ILsh government and press seek to justify
4hclr prceendo anJ rule hi India , the ucoa-
mulatud wealth of the country was greater
than It Is now , and though the taxation may
in appearance have been heavier than at prc -
int. It was In reality lighter , because It all
remained and was spent In the country , In-
etead , of , ns now , being drained out of It to
enrich the governing claase of a dlstanl
and foiclgn domination.
That Is the key to the present situation
In Drltlsh-goveined India , declared and re
iterated by every Intelligent and educated
native ot no matter what religion or race ,
and admitted by every capable and honest
Kngllsh admlnUtiator and statesman who

Indian p ople when asking for changed In
the government of the country has never
been to menace nngllsh nilc , but has been
u plaintive appeal for reform , for mercy ,
for home relaxation of the pitiless system

From the very first Mi Dadabhal saw tha
the rock toward which English rule In India
was drifting to wieck was the economl
question. Ho fcaw that nn administration

breathing the spirit of Jean Jacques Kous-
Bcau In 18T5 an net ot Parliament said of
the people of India nnd their rights : "No

amplified and proclaimed as the royal will
after the mutiny of 1857. and lelteiated In
an act of Parliament In Ib70 , which declared
any office In India we * open to the Indian
people. What has been the icfiiilt ? Let Lord

PLUCKING THE NATIVES
Rightly to explain the economic difficulty
of continuing to govern India on the present
rxtrnvagant aystem , with ll.i high-salaried
and hlgh-pcmiloned English officials , toiiic
details aru necessary , In the flrot place ,
competent statistician * * , comparing the
relative average Incomes per head of a unit
of population In England and India , plnen
th first at $210 and the latter at $10. The
average Income of an agricultural laborer
in India Is estimated at $32 , on which to
maintain filinaolf. wife nnd fhree children
n little over | 3 per head Tl-o next poorest
country to India Is Hussla , wl'h an uveragu
Income ot $50 per head , Official calculations
wont to show that In northwest India nn
Income of not leas than $17 per head waa
abr < olutcly Indispensable to supply the neccn-
rarles of llfo foi an agricultural laborer.
In the warmer pattn of the country $15 wan
reckoned fmtficlent , without extras Yet the
uamo official calculations went to ulinu that
the highest aveiago Income In nil ) one
pro > Iuquha only $15 , while In a largo P'irt
of the country It wax but $12.50 , and In a
utlll largti pirt of Itvas down to $ )1 ) , with
u general average all over India of only
$13 CO , In both ranes the Indispensable In
come was above tha average actual Income-
anywhere , lhu proving the tiuth of the
official i tutemcnt made by Sir Auckland
Col ) In In 1885 , that "the masses of the people
are men whcae Income at thu bet 1 barely !

theie figure * It I ? shown that the Income of
the people of India as compared with tint

The plua Income per heed In England , after

is set down at 31 cenM. To ftlltlier expose
the excerfllvc mortality In India , In a state
of ueace. from economic cnus-to , a comparison
with the recorded deaths In war f'om 1790 to
1S93 Is most Interesting In these 103 jearo
the number of lives lost In war 1s put at
4 500.000 , exccos dtMths from fever ( starva
tion ) only during 18S1 to 1S8S In India , 4,349-
922. Such figure * speak for themselves.
THE COUNTRY DHAINEU
The causes plainly stated , for the tctrlblo
condition of the Indian people are absentee
landlorl m , with Its consequent drain of the
resources of the country-Jomaintain a foreign
domination. As an Instance , taking the
fln-incl-il year 1889-DO , the net amount of the
land revenues of India was $97,600,000 , while
the amount expended through the Indian
olfico In London , In England only on ac
count of India was $117,250,000 These figures
are olficlal. Prom this It will be seen that
nut only was the whole land rent ot India
taken to be spent In England , but over $20-
000,000 more that had lu bo taken from other
sources. This may make It understood how
It la that the India people are Insufficiently
fed and clothed , and consequently short
lived. When It Is remembered that this drain
has been going ot In varying degree for over
ninety ycara , the wonder Is that the patience
ot the people ban not been exhausted long
ago. The reason of thelKqulesccnce has been
their Ignorance Had the old American
colonlin been Inhabited by people ot the same
tompcrqmcnt , aa Ignorant and docile , there
would Iiave been no Boston tea patty , no
Declaration of Independence nnd no Old Glory
floating over the forty-flvo stalea and the
territories of the < union.
Another subject worth touching on Is the
relative percentages of the populations of
England and Isidla engaged Inarlous In
dustries. In India Si ! per cent are en
gaged on the land , and In England only 11 0
per cent. In other Industries In India there
no 12 per cent and In England , In mariu-
facturcn , etc. , 30.1 per cent. lm various
other occupations In England , 55 per cent ,
and In India. 2 ner cent. Before the Hrltlah
system of administration broke up the In
dustrial system of India the proportions
were dlffeient. The co-ordbiiatlon of Indus
tries established by nnurat process was de
stroyed , nnd the bulk of the population en
gaged In manufacturing was dilvcn out of
employment by the Hooding of the country
with Brit sit manufactures and thrown back
upon the laaid , where the reward of theit
I ihor has proved Inadequate under even the
meat favorable conditions to sustain life de
cently.
SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG.
At first sight It would seem to American- *
hat It vould only be necessaiy for the Eng
Ish people , In vvhoe > c name India Is gov-
ined as has beem shown , to bo made ac-
[ iialntid with thu true state ot things fein
n Immediate change to be mide It K most
egrctable that It Is quite otherwise Evil
ounsels have apparently been always up-
> ermost and prevailed In the government of
ndla. Men HKe the duke of Devonshire , the
alp John Bright , the duke ot Argyll , the
ate Mr Pavvcctt and a host of others have
all admitted franklv and without reserve that
here was something radically wrong with
he government of India ; yet when In ofilce
hey have been as supine , Inactive , and as
nnth enslaved by the led tape of the bureau-
ratic system as the most aident bureaucrat
could desire.
It has been fldmltted and declared that
ndla is suffering fiom Insufficient adinlnk-
ratlon , but that bho cannot afford the cost
: > f more Imported English officials The
emcdy Is acknowledged and said to bo the
employment of mtlve olficlils : but they arc
not employed. As far back ns 17S7 Sir John
hole foresaw that the time must come
when the evils of Kngllsh adtnlnt-tration In
India would more than counterbalance Its
advantages.
In IS1) ) , ! Mr. Gladstone said that the ex
penditure of India , but especially the mil
itary c\pcmliture , was alarming. Sir David
Harbour said. In189. . ) also : "The financial
position of the government of India at the
present moment Is buch as to give came for
appiehcjifiton. The prospects of the future
are disheartening " Lord Lansdowne , when
viceroy , said : "We have to consider not so
much the years which aie past and gone as
thouo which immediately ahead of us ,
nnd Ifve look forward to these , there can
bo no doubt that \vo have cause for serious
alarm "
A COSTLY DEPENDENCY.
Lord Macaulay , vvhoo knowledge of India
and comprehension of Its needs have nevei
been surpa.Tjed , eild of India In his day
"That would Indeed be a doting wisdom
which. In older that India might lemaln a
dependency , would make It a useless and
costly dependency which would keep a hun
dred millions of men from being our cu.Uo-
merB In order that they might continue to
bo our slaves. " IIo was speaking then In
the middle of the transition pcilod through
which India was passing , fiom a commercial
to a bureaucratic-military governed country.
but ho was not understood. The duke ot
Argyll In ! Sfi9 said , bluntly : "I must say
that wo have not fulfilled our duty or the
promises and engagements which we have
made ; " but , hiving said that , ho appears to
have satisfied his political conscience , Lord
Salisbury In 1875 iceognl/ed the evil ot the
system under which India had to be drained
yearly of i-o much v ealth vvltnout any equiv
alent return , but nhu'gged ' hiu shoulders and
said ( hero was no help for It but to continue
the bleeding process. In 1SS3 he even went
further ; and when Loid Northbiook , who
had leaincd something dining his vlceroyalty
In India , phaded In the llor.ho of Lords for
the carrying out of the act of 183J , already
quoted , and the solemn proclamation of the
queen In 1S3S , Loid Salisbury settled the
question by the astonishing sentence"My
lords. I do not ucii what Is the use of all
thin political hypocrisy. " Latei In 1S83 the
duke of Uovonslilic pointed out that It
would not be wise to toll a pat ! lot Ic native
of India that the Indian people shall never
have any chance "exiiept by their getting
rid , In the first Instance , of their European
rulers "
Yet this Is Just what the English rulers
of India have been doing , not In words , per
haps , hut by Implication and so prepiilng

astrous to the people ef India , and may bo

Harly In the course of tne Dost Mohammed
wars , Shah Shujah , a claimant of the Afghan
throne , took refuse In India , and placed
hlirself t cider the protection of the Indian
government , which vvaimly espoused hid
cause , and , 'upon the pretext that Host had
made war unna uu ally of the company , a
formal declaration of hostilities was pro
claimed , and In rebruary , 1S39 , the Urltlsh
army , composed of about 12,000 fighting men ,
with 40,000 camp followers , crossed the Indus
and entered Afghanistan At first the ex
peditionary force was apparently successful
evcrjwlitre. Cine Afghan position after an
other fell before the British guna ; Ghimil ,
the Impregnable , was Btormed , the p.rmy of
Dott Mohammed melted away , Cabool opened
Its gates to the Invaders , Dost surrendered
and was sent to India ns a state prisoner ,
Shah Shujah was installed In Cabool na the
sovereign , and tno country was regarded as
not only conquered , but pacified. Hut the
conqurat of Afghanistan by the Kngtlsh was
like the conquest of Spain by the French ,
nor were the people of the former , any
more than the latter , reconciled to the Idea
of n prince supported by foreign arms.
Popular uprisings took place all over the
country , the troops were kept constantly on
the move for two years , and the expense of
maintenance exceeded 1,000,000 a jear. The
Indian go\eminent notified Sir William Me-
Naghton , the British envoy , that expenses
must be i educed The only way In which
thlj could bo done was to cut down the
allowances of the native chiefs , who had
been subsidized , nnd as soon as this was
sURgrated they broke out In open revolt
The nngllah army quartered at Cabool oc
cupied barracks a hort distance from the
rltv , nnd was commanded by General Kl-
phliistone , n veiy aged olllcer , . who , by rea-
con of c.cut and other Infirmities , was
equally ntcctrato In body and mind. There
was practically no leader or the forces , ana
\lien the city rose in rebellion eveiythlng
vent v\rong. McNaghton , the envoy , and
Jurncs , the niltish resident , were murdeied ,
he troops vveie besieged in their cantoiv-
neiil , the commissary tort , weakly garrl-
isoned vvao taken , and the Written force
\as icdurcd to staivatlon As winter was
coming on , the Impossibility of remaining
n n hostile country without supplies wan
ecognlyed , and preparations for evacuating
.ho position were begun The Irresolution
of General Elphlnstone , however , delayed the
evacuation , as he hoped that , b > negotia
tions with the chiefs , matters could be ar-
inpr > d 01 that help would airlvc Both ex-
icctatlons , wcie disappointed , and finally thr
irlti . anny capitulated , promising to evac
uate the country , while the Afghans guar-
intecd them safe conduct out of Afghanistan

1S12 , the capitulation was signed , and on
January 5 the army , conipr'falng ' 4 GOO fight
ing men and 12.000 non-combatants , nmrchea
out of the barrack , ) at Cabnol and took the
road to Jolallabad and the Khvber pass.
MASSACRE OP THE TOIICE.
The treachery of the Afghan chiefs was
Instantly apparent , for before the long line
was out of eight of Cabool It was attacked
on every side by the tribesmen. The coun
try from Cabool to the pass Is broken and
rugged and two days' hard matching lay
liefoto the , army. Every rock hid an Afghan
maiksman , every commanding height was
held by the enemy. During the flr.it day's
march nearly all the pack animals were
lost. The Afghani , armed with awords and
long knives , fell upon the camp followers
and massacred them by hundred's. At night
a halt vva made , hut there vvai no rest , for
the tents were gone , there were no pro
visions , a deep tnow coveted the ground
and nttacko of the natives were unceasing.
During the second day the retreat became
a disorderly rout ; It was not the march of
an anny , but the huriled rush of a mob of
fugitives All dibclpllne was gone ; officers
and men , camp followers and women ,
crowded together In the narrow road to
the pnfc , while from every side came the
steady fire of the Afghan guerrillas. Al
though the moat ample proofb had been
given of the faithlessness of the native chiefs ,
the officers again opened negotiations with
thPin ; the women and several of the leadIng -
Ing ollicert ) . Including the general , were
given or suiiendered themselves as hostages ,
lint still the- tiring went on and by the
time the fugitives had reached the entrance
of the drat pats through the mountains
they Ind neither leaders , provisions nor am
munition , and a large number of the soldiers
were even without guns.
Khjber pass Is a mere canon In the
mountains , the load winding along the bank
of the ilvir , and at almost cvciy point for
five miles It' commanded on both xldes by
overhanging precipices. No army could force
Ita way through the defile If the crags over
head vvero occupied by a hostile foice. This
teirlblo defile , however , was not the scene
of the annihilation of the anny. At the
western entrance to the pass stands the
city of Jelallabad , which at that time was
held by a strong English force , and this
town was the objective point of the army.
Before i caching It , however , there were two
passes to bo traversed , each almost as dlf-
llcult as the Khvbcr defile The first was
the Koord Cabool paw , and hero most of
the arnv perished. Crowded Into a narrow
road commanded by the heights and preci
pices above , the men were shot down bv
hundred * ? Thov could offer little effective
resistance to the fire of the enemy and none
at all to the masses of stone and snow that
vvero loosened on the mountain sides above
for the purpose of overwhelming the fngl
tlvcs. A few survlvois. In all less than 200
Enropcin soldiers and about GOO Sepoys ,
snuggled through , hut at the entrance of
the Jugdulnk pa&tt they found a strong Im
provised fortification elected by the Af
ghans In anticipation of their arrival and
hero they all died. Of the host of 1R.OOO
which two days before had marched out of
Cabool , only ono white man escaped , a sur
geon named Dryson , who , a day 01 two
after the maisacro staggered Into Jelallabail
half delirious from suffering , and told the
tale of an army's destruction

The origin of the American "cocktail" 's
admittedly obscure , and many attempts have
been made to trace It. An Ingenious but
unconvincing explanation that has lately
been going the round of the press gives It
medical significance. The old doctors , they
say , had a practice of treating certain d'a-
eases of the throat with a pleasant liquor
applied with the tip end of a long feather
plucked from a cock's tall They finally be
gan to use this prcpaiatlon as a gargle , and
the name cocktail clung to It. The gargle
gave waj to an appetizer to a mixture of
bitters , vermouth and liquor that Is still In
occasional demand.
Tor my own part , says the American E
cure , I prefer Infinitely the story of the
Mexican beauty According to this legend ,
the original cocktail was made from pulque ,
an alcoholic beverage diitllled from the
juice of the maguey , or agave The liquor ,
so 'tis said , waa discovered by a Tolteo
noble , who sent some of It to the king by
the hand of his daughter. The morarch
drank the pulque nnd looked at the maiden
Whether the girl's looks gave pleamnter
flavor to the liquor , or whether the taste ol
the liquor irmdo the girl KCCIII the fairer , Is
not certain ; the king , at any rate , fell In
love with both , started a pulque plantation
and married the girl , wlioao name , Xochltl ,
thus became associated with the national
intoxlcanl The rest U easy. When General
Scott's troops came to Mexico they drank
the liquor , liked It aoid. with the easy

Work.
Dining the past fortnight workmen hae
been engaged upon the dome of the county
court house. The dingy Iron work which
for jears has stood a prey to the elements
Is rapidly assuming A bright appearance ,
which only new paint can lend to a structure.
Under the deft hamln of the workmen the
ornate edifice looks as though It had been
granted a now lca e on life.
1'eoplo on the pavements who have
watched the men as they clambered about
upon the dome arc not Inclined to envy them
their Jobs , The "human fly" and the tia-
ueze performer may extract pleiaure from
their respective vocations , but the average
man likes to plant Ills feet on terra llrma
and keep them there. When It Is taken Into
consideration that the pscho knot of the god
dess on the court house ream Itself junt 144
feet fiom the foundation line of the building ,
and that In addition to this the whole
structure stands rome thirty feet above the
street. It Is easily surmised that the dome
painter's job has Its draw back In the form
of danger.
A scaffolding has been costt'itcted about the
feet of Ml Ed Justice , and here upon this
Izzy po'ch several men have been applying
silver coating which will serve the bltnd-
oldcd maiden as a winter garment. This
ortlnn of the painting has practically been
omnleted and the figure glistens In the sun
1th a brilliancy which was unknown to It
nder the old coating of sanded paint.
Many persons ns they have watched the
mprovements from day to day have vvon-
ercd what method was employed in getting
lie Bcafoldlng In Its airy position , whether
t vves safe , and how It could be taken down
vhon the Job was completed. "That's the
aslest part of the work , " said the super *
Isor of the work. "It does look a little
Ickllsh to a novice In the business , but It
s all In gettlmg accustomed to It. In placing
hose planks In position wo cmploed 11
lumber ot extension ladders , the lower ends
f which rested upon the Iron veranda of the
omc , a short distance from the point where
t rises from the main roof. After uolnc as
Ugh upon these ladders as possible , shorter
ones are plated behind the t'males upon the
ops of the columns , and these will bo found
0 reach pretty close to the base of the
ngure
FURNISHES A SAFfi STAGING
"You will notice that a short distance be-
ow the pedestal there are heavy Iron
vrcaths secured to the four sides of the
lome. Af'cr placing the cncltcling portion
of the stage In place , we merely had to sup *
lott It with a few short plet.es ot timber , the
ends of which were placed upon the Inner
lortlons of the wreaths. Wlum Lomplcted
we found that the staging wah strong and
that It was way ahead of the average as
stagings go
"Tne force of men under me have been
working steadily for nearly two weeks The
painting forms but a small poitloi of the
indcrtaklng The iron vvotk composing the
cornices about the main toof , and the dome ,
with Its countless scrolls and decorations ,
have not received a drop of paint since it
was completed In 18S8. This speaks well for
the min that did the Job We found , how
ever , that It had healed ann warped In man >
places , nnd It waa found necessary to scrape
1 great deal of the old coating off It Is
liere that the hard and tedious work Is on
corntercd. The painting , provided we are
not visited by strong w nds , could easily be
completed In a few dajs. The wind has de-
laved u.s badl ) , as It is impceilblo to use
the sand which given the iron a stone finish
"It was at first suggested by the county
commissioners that we gild the figure upon
the top of the dome. Certain kinds of
broit7b might have been used , but It does
not stand the weather. It was at length
decided to use the sliver color , not as Indi
cative of the politics of the court house cm-
| ) lees , but slmplv because It Is more dura
ble Gold leaf , If u ed , would ] iave coat a
largo amount of money , and In addition to
this would not have been any longer lived
than the gold wash The coating decided
upon is composed largely of aluminum. It
Is spiead upon a preparation of gold siring
which makes It doubly Impervious to the
tain and snow.
'Under our contract with the county com
missioners we are obliged to have the job
completed by .September 10 , In older that
It may not Interfere with the putting In
position of the electrical decorations for the
fall festivities. We have gone over the
building once with paint and sand and ex
pect to put on the other coat about the last
of this week. The Job will cost over $500. "
ILLUMINATING THE BUILDING.
The county commissioners have decided
upon a plan for decorating the court house
during the fall festivities. It will bo a little
more elaborate than any of those of former
jcars and will give a much better result
Tor the dajtlme the decorations will be with
bunting , which will be used In profusion
The top of the balustrade surmounting the
main cornice will b ° ar a profuyion of small
flags , and streamers of Hags will extend from
tbo dome to each corner of the building.
Largo flags and bunting will be draped be
low the main cornice on the north , east and
west sides and festoons of bunting will be
used wherevci the effect requires It.
The electlic light decorations will be dif
ferent from any heretofore placed on the
building. The figure of Justice will haye a
circle of twenty-live lights surrounding her
head after the fashion of a halo This will
throw a brilliant light over the entire figure ,
which will bo Increased by a row of light.
about the base of the pedestal. The coinlce
of the dome will earn another row of lights
and the corner "ribs" of the same will each
bo outlined by a row of lights. This will
give a complete figure of the upper portion
of the dome and beneath It the columns sup
porting the coinlce will each bo decoiated
with a vertical row of lights , thus outlining
the entlte dome OB it will appear at night.
The noith , east and west fronts of the
building will each bo decorated with wet do-
nlgns of tasty appearance. The north front
will bo maiKed by a waving Hag ahovvn In
coloied lights , the folds of "Old Glory" be
ing represented by 450 five-candle power
lamps of appropriate colors Thlc design
will be 7x12 feet nnd may be seen from any
part of the city lying to the north. The
west fiont will carry a i evolving wheel hav
ing seventy lights. On the east will ho a
largo star of ninety lights.
The figure of Justice will not bo trans
formed Into a Goddess of Liberty by drap
Ing It with the national colors , as waa done
last year , but will stand forth as the person
ification of even-handed Justice , bearing the
sword and scales and Illumined by the halo.
