The Cincinnati Times-Star, in speaking of the relation of India to England. says : A great problem that the Englisb government will have to deal with iá tho result of the intellectual development of tho nativos, duo almost entirely to the character of Englaud's rule. More and more every year the natives are made to depend upon themselves, and Rome of the more intelligent amono" them have thus learned that they are thcmselves capable of governing thoir country. Many of the natives are as highly edacated as the Euglishmensent oit to fill the high-salariert government positiona in India, and inthelarge citics native aud English judo-es sit sido by sido and deal out Justioe to all alike.

They had overturned the nativo institutions and, direetly and indirectly, wcre subrerting the binding usages" and custoius )f a hundred ages. "The tortoise,'" he n.tui, -uut) ii uau umo wnen ne is ciianging his shell. You spcak proudly of your administration andyonreducation, your ï-iüc and your railroads.
