PRINCE OF WALEr.-The thankagiy-
ing service for the recovery of the Prince

The Results of English Indian
Policy.

The recent assassination of Lord Mayo,
oovernor-General of India, following,
closely as it does, that of Chief Justice
Norman, is direct result of the policy
pursued by Great Britain in India
Both murders were committed by Mus
3llmen, and are indicative of bitter
and deep-seated hatred of their foreign
rulers, on the part of the natives of In
dia. Three centuries ago these bloody
deeds might have been prompted by re-
ougious bigotry. But in this age, when
Mahommedans are becoming tolerant,
and persecution of every kind is fast get
ting to be obsolete among them, another
explanation Of these assassinations must
be sought The entire history of Brit
ish domination in India has been marked
by the most cruel despotism. The coun-
try was conquered because British avar-
Zee coveted its wealth, and British SOL
diery could easily dispense its armies
1t has been plundered by officials; its
protests have been answered with sabre
and cannon its religion has been de-
stroyed, and its people treated as slaves.
The tyrants should not be surprised that
their slaves do not love, though they be
compelled to outwardly reverence them.
Assassination has always been the last
resort of slaves and the common fate of
tyrants Let Britain modify her Indian
policy and thereby remove the exciting
cause of these murders of high officials.

BALLOT N ENGLAND. - The English

ANOTHER FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
According to our dispatch from Sus-
quehanna Thursday night siding engine,
kept near Owego to assist heavy laden
trains up the grade there, exploded with
great violence, the engine being lifted
off the rails and falling down an en-
bankment eighty feet high. Cne man
was instantly killed, and the engineer
and fireman and four other men, in a
caboose at the rear Of a train they were
assisting, We're seriously injured. We
suppose the officials of the Erie Railroad
will make an "inyestigation. the Coro-
ner will render q verdict generating
everybody and the poor man, whose life
would probably have been saved had a
proper inspection of the boiler taken
place, will be placed underground and
forgotten, while the widowed wife and
orphan children will be cast upon the
cold charity of the world.

PUNISHMENT OF FoREIGN OFFICIALS.
Two foreign officials in high positions
have recently been made to feel the
weight Of the law pretty severely, NJ.
Victor Place, ex-Consul, of France, has
been convicted OF malvcrsation and con-
demned to two years imprisonment and
fine of two hundred dollars. The
other example made is that of the ex-
Minister of Police at Constantinoplp,
who accounted for a deficit of large
amount by asserting that he had paid it
to the late Grand Vizier, who died few
months ago in seriously embarrassed
circumstances. The accused was how
ever, unable to substantiate his state
ments by any evidence, and has been
condemned to pay double the sum of
money stolen, to be imprisoned for five
years, and never to be re-employed in
the public service. Al this rate, the adj
ministratiye reforms which have for
SEINE time been in progress in Turkey
would appear to be in earnest.

HISTORICAL RECORDS OF VIRGNIA.-
Dr.. Palmer, who was appointed recent
ly under the bill introduced by Mr..
Wynne, to take charge of, collect and
arrange the papers of historical value,
which are now scattered through the
lofts and cellars of the capitol building,
has been at his work about ten days. He
has already proceeded far enough in his
Investigations to confirm the wisdom of
the small appropriation made for this
purpose by the general assembly, and
has discovered bundle of papers (alone
worth the amount) never before known
to exist, giving the details of the Ga
briel instruction which broke out in
Henrico county in 1902. And these pa
pars establish the important fact that
that movement among the blacks, in
stead of being a local affair, as is sup
posed by most persons, was general, so
far as the counties of Eastern Virginia
were concerned. AS the doctors work
progresses, we shall no doubt. be graft
fed with the unearthing of many pre-
cious manuscripts and documents Of
historical and legal value. The appro-
priation for this purpose was the first
ever made, and the Commonwealth in
her nincty-siXth year now takes the very
first step to rescue from oblivion and
desay the most interesting colonial and
revolutionary history belonging to any
State of the United State.
THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO. The
revolution in Mexico has assumed over
whelming proportions, and now bids
fair to obtain the mastery over the gov
eminent of Juarez. The special des-
patches from Matamoros report more
fighting. The important city of San
IGis is closely besiegcd and hourly cX-
pected to fall into the hands of the rev.
olutionists. n battle near Pucbla is re-
ported to have taken place between
Generel Diaz the head Of the rcyolu-
ton, and General ROcha, the foremost
commander on the side Juarcz. The
government forces were completely
orouted, and the famous city of Puebla is
now threatened by Diaz. This news
leads to the supposition that the days of
eJuarez's Presidency are numbered.
Suppose the government of Juarez over
thrown, what then: By the light of
past experience Of Mexican affairs, we
should predict another government of
short-lived existence, another revolution
headed by some discontinued general,
more fighting, more chaos, and 50 on
until the end of the chapter.
