T. I URSDAY, ]1111?. 15, 1900.
Tam famine in India ie suoely some.
thing terrible, worse than that of 1870 or
1800 and many thousands are suffering,
Large oontributioas are being forwarded
to that land yet the dietrese ie oautjipg
great ravages and loud °elle are made fur
inoreesed madame, -
Souls people say the war will be over
in South Africa in the course of a mouth.
This may be so but Great Btitaia should
attend to the winding up in a mammy
that will seopre permanent peace. The
best way to do this is to make 'the Tram -
vital and the Oremge Free State a part of
the British Empire and thereby bestow
on them the broadest rights and vast -
leges known and enjoyed in the world.
Millions of dollars have been spent and
thousands of lives sacrificed in this no.
sought war, as far as Britain is 000000n -
ed, and the terms of peaoe should be of
molt a eharaoter that the errors of the
past will be avoided and that the reign of
enlightenment and prosperity will suoceed
oppression and barbarity.
fa all the ")ippy" thinga thrown across
the floor of the House of Oommone are true
there are some M. P's who ehoald besent
home until they can produce a certificate
of good obaraoter. Many of the dialogues
during the eesaiou are simply a diegraoe to
a body supposed to represent the intelli-
gence and respectability of the country.
Some of those pugilistic, invitations
should be aooepted and if so we fancy
a few of the binaterers would not be so'
ready with their challenges after one
good pumneiling. The members of Par
Bement don't own the Gammons and the
majority of the constituencies are not
sending pugilists to Ottawa or bear gar-
den specialists but gentlemen who will
not only respect themselves but the
electors by whose vote they were placed
in honorable positions that some appear
to be Badly unable to fill. Shame on the
membere of Parliament who lose their
bead and descend to the fishwife style of
debate.
Bemuse one political party violated the
law or sacrificed principle for party is
no reason why the other should do like-
wise, nor is it any excuse for wrong doing
to pall np the sine of omission or com-
mission of the opposites and attempt to
balance the account thereby. These
tongue threshing bees map amuse some
of tbe smell brained politicians but the
free and inedpendent electorate don't by
any me0.ns say amen to many things
that are said and done. What's wafted
is high moral standards and then a con•
sistent living up to them after an election
as well as before ib. The purity and loy-
alty are not all on one of either aides of
the House and when either parties ae.
sums to possess it they give themselves
away. Varied and numerous have been
the attempts to besmircb the loyalty of
Premier Laurier and Minister Tarte
but the probabilities are if this commod-
ity were measured by deeds as well se
words their traduoere would have to have
brink in their pockets to even up the
scale., Some of the potywog politicians
in the Local Legislature have chattered
About loyalty and disloyalty when if
they'd allow the bnsineso of the oountry
to advance they would show their loyalty
to the taxpayers in a praotioal manner.
Talk le cheap and amounts to little un•
lees backed up by aobion.
SOUTH BEND, INDIANNA,
To the Editor of Tun P001
I should have sent this letter era thin but
my grooves more than occupied at Obioaeo
for the last two weeks. I intend to return
this week to resume my course and studies.
I ehatl endeavor to send you a description
of tie"Wlody city" later on, Before pro-
ceeding with my remarks on South Bend
permit ma to congratulate the citizens of
Brussels on the loyalty and patriotism they
s� rbeerlu'ly extended on receiving the
glad and cheerful tidings of the relief of
Ladysmith and tbe capture of Cronin and
his army, I regretted very much that I was
unable to to be present to 'hoop '00.011" and
to at least join with you in your rejoicing,
I may say the Yankees here are changing
their tuna and most now admit tbebravery
and valour of the British soldiers, I feel
morethen proud of the prominent part aur
Canadian boys took In the surrender of the
=oh exploited 0ronie but nevertboleas my
heart throbs for the fallen brave who have
so oourn eonsly and bravely defended the
rights of the Queen and her oountry. No
doubt we Canadians .and especially bar
soldiers, have realized in earnest what war
11300/113.
Now as to Rooth Bend, may gay that it
is the largest city in the extreme Northern
part of Indiana, having a po ulation of forty
ono thousand. It Is situated on the 8t,
looppb river, one of the :noel; Atotnreeque
iulund streams in Amerins, South Saud
haseight steam railwaye, thirty-eight pas
Banger trains leaving daily,and one eleotrio
system, It is one of the fiest maonfa0•ur-
ing points to the world It is only eighty
six miles from Chicago and within but a
0ay'e rldo of New York °Sty, I0 is a maim-
faoturing location and has manifold ad-
vantages .'there are over one hundred and
twenty manulaetnring eotabli0hments, the
product of many of wnioh goes to an porta
of the eivi,i0ed universe. As space in your
valuable paper will not permit an erten-
siva description of this city, I elan only
enumerate a 20W of the many manufactories
in this plane. The following aro considered
the largest In the world, viz.:—The Stade.
barobero wagon works. It is a pleasure to
see through the plant and repository.They
employ over two thousand hands and nay
out annually, in wagon, over throe million
dollars, 1 saw an Stade and styles of rigs,
some coating a couple of .thousand dollars,
I alsooaw a sample of an army ambutane°,
such as they supplied the Ensued Govern-
ment for the South Airtime war. Wbeo
viewing some of their haudeomo rigs, I also
noticed the eoaob that Was built in Balti-
morm i0 the year 1824, specially for General
Lafayette, This Wag o0u01aared, no doubt,
