To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
SIR am sParsee. When left India for Europe
and New York, OF the many strange adventures
may have expected to belau me in my travels
through foreign countries, the least possible one
ana the least dreamed Of was my rushing into
American print to give out my opinions. Your
articles on C@sarism overpower my modesty, and
force on me to give vent to the exuberence OF my
feelings. Though have been accustomed TO cx-
anime and study the different conditions of the
people of different countries to test and compare
with that of my own, yet nothing short OF your
fascinating articles on C@sarism and the popular
way, adapted to the meanest understanding Of
treating 1t, could have induced me to look to
THE FUTURE By THE LIGHT OF THE PAST AND
PRESENT.
know my unftness. to give an opinion on
American politics. First-l come from country
whose whole political activity consists in bitter
ond uiIn uaf nf
Mussulman population to the paramount ruling
power, and the supine indifference Of the andoos,
whose love of money passes every other consider
alton Of country and government; and in the
direst necessity the powers ruling at the utmost
may expect from them the benefit OF their prayers,
but nothing more. They will bury their treasures,
and they cannot be too careful OF their blood. It
Is not their fault They have been accustomed to
do so for centuries, and they win do 80 again.
They have always been q law biding people, and
have an amount OF passive resistance which, II 1t
had ever passed into active would have shaken on
any bonds by mere EFFORT, and it is doubtful
whether 1t would have cost them one-tenth Of the
pains and troubles they ultimately suffered. But
this they have never done. Their country for CEN

and Englishmen are held in no other light. They

tread and therefore they shall have the benefit Of
their prayers, and the gentle wishes OF the Hindoos
shall 60 in their cause. The test OF what say Is
found In the Indian public debt. Out of public debt
of 21Ol 900 900 sum OF fs5, 900 is held In Eng
land, and the balance OF f16,O0O,00O which is held
In India, Is divided between banks English bank
ers, European mercantile houses and the natives.
In the real sense Of the word the only loyal popu
lation in India Is the Parsee which would give its
best blood ana stake its whole fortune In the
Of it's rulers. But it is only handful OF sand IN
vast desert, and 1t could only retard but cannot
stop the current OF events. or course the general
apathy Of the people Is sometimes relieved by the
rising aspirations OF educated young men, yet
they seldom soar to representation, much less to
but are confined to greater share
of political power.
Second-I have not travelled through the
United states, and have only been In New YORK
exactly two months to-day. But II 1t be true that
the city OF New York Is the concentration Of the
essence OF enterprise, energy. wealth and COM
mercia and political activity OF the country, then
have seen and heard enough, II not sufncient to
form an independent opinion, ct least to give
quota OF materials to others to add to their already
accumulated mass for the formation Of an indie
pendent opinion. I have been TWO months here;
l have mingled and conversed with all the classes
of people; have tried my best to elicit informa-
ton on all the topics that agitate the people, and
anything to my bashfulness. Alter leaving India
