Of a lower Judge varies from o.. 400 to $4,000

with those Of white Judges in Algeria we
find that the first president Of the Court OF

content himself with a yearly allowance Of

In our authors Judgment, the fact that
England can allow the natives Of India to
take such an active part in the govern
ment of their country Is due chiefly to the
care bestowed upon the schools, and to the
conviction that the care has borne good
fruit. He insists that ever England's bit

Indian rulers Of narrow mindedness when
the truth is kept in mind that in the legis-
lative council of the Vioeroy at Calcutta
native Hindus and Mohammedans take
part, and that their votes often have a
preponderating influence upon the adj
ministration and upon the foreign and home
politics Of the country. No doubt England
has at times been blamed because. thus
far, no native has ave been appointed
governor Of a province or commander
of a provincial army. This criticism III
author deems unreasonable under the
existing circumstances, on the ground that
sit would be unjust to expect a Hindu to
possess the same ability, the same strength,
Of character and the same energy as an
Englishman, and II on no other ground
than that Of the difference in their na-
t~ionality, religion and caste. We could
scarcely imagine a warlike Sikh or Pathan
taking his orders from an efeminate Ben
gall. England surely does enough when
a native, after his ability and merit have
beer fully proved, is admitted to all kinds
OF State Offices. As We said before, the
greater n6mber Of official positions In India
are given to Hindus. but the highest func-
tons OF administration and supervision
must remain in the hands, OF the English
themselves to insure the peace and pros
perity Of the peninsula Our author
adds; Would not the Algerians and the
Turkestanis consider Themselves fortunate
indeed II in the management Of their
country they had ever q small fraction Of
the part that the Hindus enjoy under the
English administration In India7" 4,
What struck Prof. Vambery most forably
in his consideration OF the civilizing in
fiuence exerted by the English on the natives
OF India was the spirit Of freedom and
nationality which gradually, by the example
OF their own energy and unfagging patriot
ism. they have infused in the Oriental mind:
a spirit very seldom found among genuine
Asiatios, but whiohin India lie becoming wide
spread under the energizing influence Of the
foreign master. Prof .Vambery directs atten-
ton to the fact of broad significance that We
