THE HINDUS
"Pity and need make all fle&h akin'?
anu. within certain limitanoos, human
ity loves justice. There are occasion*,
however, it is to be regretted, when, in
the height of passion or through the
?way of prejudice, the finer sense in
humanity's composition is cast aside,
but it never lasts km if, and already
mueb sympathy Is being expressed for
the unfortunate victims of the Be'ling
ham and Vani*ouver riot#? not for the
Jap, It is true, the luvestigatiou into
whose conduct every day makes him
more despised by the Americans, but in
the case of the Hindu* now being driv
?u from pillar to post down in the Pa
cific Northwest it is different. They
are of tne race from whom Christian
clyllteatioo on thla continent has been
collecting tribute and supporting for
eign missions for a number of (fenera
tions. These ignorant, simple and? so
far as one may judge by th:ir conduct
mild-msnnered folk, the victims of hard
and distressful conditions in their na
tive country, seek to better themselves
by comlog to a land where a higher so
cial and economic erder prevails, where
there is freedom and justice and peace
aud plenty,? the rest of the story is fa
miliar to the reading public.
Without dismissing the practical side
of this race question, without Ignoring
the elements of unavoidable conflict
which exist, we are put to it for an ad
equate apology io this Hindu matter ?
for an apologv that will jquara with
any sense of jus'ice. Because mfn are
guilty of desi ing better thing? for
themselves, because they have been de
ceived io the belief that the desire was
readily to be gratified here in America,
bee j st t hey were ignorentof the vio
lent animosity which their presence
would excite? these considerations
must serve as the sole excuse for set
ting upon them, beating them, driving
them about from town to town, herding
them io police stations or in single
rooms under conditions inhumanly
cruel.
Of <-outse their government will
make a demand for a monetary pay
ment for the outrages that have been
heaped upon them, and they may get
It, but it will be a poor pay. iodeed. for
the contumely and misery th?t has been
showered upon the poor wretchts.
We Americans have h'gh ideals and
we try in a more or less religious man
ner to live up to them, but we do have
some terrible lapses and :be case of the
Hindus is one of them.

GROVER CLEVELAND
The health of ex-President Cleve
land has (or many months been a
matter of grave concern to his family
and friends. He Is no* said to be In
f comfortable condition though greatly
reduced in flesh because of his aliments,
and unaule to walk without assistance.
The truth is that Mr. Cleveland is an
old man? much older than orhers of the
same ace. His infirmities are pressing
heavily upon him. He has not been an
abstemious man in eatiog and drinking,
and but for his habit of spending much
of his lime in th? open air and bis per
sistence in taking bodily exercise, he
would probably not have lived thus
long. His death, when it corner, wilt
mark the close of a life of extraordin
ary incident and great usefulae-s,
though the period of his greatest
activities did not begin unil.. he Aad
reached middle life. The Nation,
assessing his services at their full value,
bears <*ilh regret his growing infirm
ities and regards with compassion the
pen picture given of him as so greatly
reduced io flesh that the clothes made
for him in other days now bang loosely
upon bis frame, while the roundness of
hia cheeks baa ben supplanted by deep
wrinkles.
The life work of Grover Cleveland is
behind him.

New York, Sept. 26? At a meeting of
the local union of the telegraphers yes
