British Rule I'm India.
Pittsburg Dispatch

Those troubles in India, whether in
spired by religious or race prejudice,
or by the intrigue OF Sultan, Car, or
Ameer-all of which causes, curiousiy,
are assigned for them--will be put down
surely enough by tho British Govern
ment, whose arm is both strong and
relentless in crushing rebellion. But
when that is said IL must be admitted
that the uprising now is but a fore
shadowing Of that future day when the
native Indians must be allowed 10 gov
ern themselves-when British authority
will either have as completely disap-
peared from India as ii has from the
United States. or else viii be remem-
bered only by even more attenuated
Colonial ties than now exist between
Canada and Australia and the mother
country.
In looking to the inevitable future
when the Hindoo people will claim with
success the right Of self-government, II
is not necessary 10 disparage the re-
suits of British government among them.
While stern ruler and often cruel and
tyrannical-through agents-in adminis
tering foreign territory, credit must
fairly be given the British OF rare ability
as business administrators. They make
roads. set up judges, establish security
for life and property, and bring order
out OF chaos more quickly and surely
than any other colonizing Power. That
they have improved the physical condi-
tions Of India and OF its population will
be admitted by any one who has travelled
there and made comparisons with the
conditions that exist in other Asiatic
countries. The same is true OF British
administration in Egypt. where a dense
population, living on the product OF
very small area, has been brought to
enjoy relative comfort, security. and in
dependence, compared with the state OF
the same people under previous rule.
But both In India and In Egypt it
must be recognized that Great Britain
is dealing with people different In
race and religion from their own. and

DEVILS AUCTION WELL RECEIVED

marks Of the original indelibly stamped

The piece has been rewritten and re-
arranged. Much OF the scenery is new,

sparkling. Whether this latest edition
has the quality OF perpetuity that Mr..
Yale claims for it in its reconstructed
title IL beside the question. all that
matters is that the performance goes
merrily along without a tedious mo-

often amusing.
