Her Maideniy virtues

In the days Of 1870 or thereabout,
while Phillip Fithian was keeping a
daiiy journal OF his life at Princeton
College, human nature seems to have
been much the same as in our genera
ton. But Mr.. Fithian noted the diff
ferences, social and temperamontal,
between the Northerners and South
orners, and was greatly drawn toward
the Virginians. OF whom he writes
"The people are extremely hospitable
and very polite. both OF which are most
certainly universal characteristics of
the gentlemen In Virginia. Some
swear bitterly, but the practice seems
to be generally disapproved" II Is

as in America or England. In ordf-
nary times these villages are left
good deal to themselves; perhaps the
only government official they see in
the course of the year Is the tax col
lector. But there is a sense of depend
ence nevertheless, and If anything the
least out of the common occurs theI
nearest English magistrate Is the man
who must be consulted. The head man
of the village may be the recognized

It comes to action his powers are very
limited.
India, in short, is becoming over
governed and with laws often alien to
the genius of the people, however ap-
propriate they may seem in the eyes
of modern civilization. Their natural
protectors find themselves of little ac-
count unless they enter into the pre-
vailing occupation of the well to do
and become grain dealers or merchants
or rivals in some other way of the
ruling race, and their interests they
then imagine to be the continuance of
cheap labor. But until the value of
that is raised to much higher per-
manent level the people will never be
able to take care of themselves, and
each recurring time of scarcity and
famine will be accompanied with the
same pitiful tales of distress and suf-
fering which no commissions OF in
quiry will ever eradicate.

Following the custom of the past
thirty-five years. the Indian govern
ment has appointed commission to
Inquire into the extent of the recent
famine and the methods adopted for
coping with 1t. having in view the col
lection of information that may be OF
value in the future. The report OF this
commission has just been published,
although II was completed and signed
as early as last May. The excuse given
for Withholding 1t from publication Is
that 1t would not have been policy to
publish II until the Indian budget had
been passed and Lord George Hamil-
ton offered to the world his recent
glowing panegyric on the prosperity
of India, which, needless to say. was
taken with a very big discount by
everybody who knew anything about
1t. But IL succeeded only too well in
the object II had in view, namely,
salving the conscience of the British
people, and persuading them to believe
that their administration of India left
little or nothing to be desired.
AS far as the report itself is cor
cerned It lacks the Importance of sew
eral OF its predecessors, that of 1881
more particularly. This is only saying
that the ground has been effectively
cleared. the rules and regulations laid
down for administration during fam
inc periods being found on the whole
workable. Severe famine. however,
rarely occurs twice running in the
same district, and as India is a great
congeries of people rather than a ma
ton there has to be a good deal OF
latitude permitted in dealing with
them. famine code must necessarily
be limited to broad principles and the
application OF them left to those on
the spot, and it is this that always
calls for inquiry and criticism.
Task of Large Moment.
The same men rarely have the work
to do twice in the same place or un-
der exactly the same conditions and

strongest feelings of humanity and
willing though they may be to exert
themselves. they may. nevertheless,
make a failure where before they
scored a success. The great thing Is
to understand the people, and as Off
cials are constantly being moved about
in the way of promotion they are apt
to make use of experience previously
gained when they really ought to be
commencing again almost at the bot
tom. This no doubt largely explains
the failures brought to light in the
famine administration a year ago; ter
rlbly hard conditions were imposed
where the people were unable to bear
them, and far too easy ones where they
were much more favorably situated.
This at once raised the question
whether it is not possibly to govern
so vast country more largely by its
own inhabitants in accordance with its
own wants and traditions. That does
not mean establishing representative
institutions and placing the mere ma
chinery of government in the hands of
hhN haNiNNof IL HulNt DOooipltt lhhttut
that the latter has been done to far
too great an extent already. The low
er branches of the civil service have
been thrown open and the ambition of
the native seems to be to obtain a
government situation. where he is soon
drilled into all the red tape of the off,
cial class. In this way thousands of
them came to be employed in famine
administration and were much more
reluctant to break through the stipu-
lated regulations than the Englishman.
II they make mistake they run the
risk of being cashiered, whereas an
English official In case of emergency
always feels at liberty to exercise a
certain amount of discretion for which
he will not be harshly treated by his
superiors as long as 1t is not abused.
Work ImperfectIy Done.
But this is not the kind OF govern
ment that country like India stands
in need of. Municipal and well regu-
lated institutions are all very well for
the cities and larger towns, but Just
as a sledge hammer is not the proper
instrument for cracking a nut, so these
institutions cease to be applicable to
