THE GOTERNWENT OF INDIA.

The fftieth anniversary of the Sepoy Niutny
has lust been CommemOrated, and now affairs
in India have suddenly become more disquieting
than AT any other date since that tragic cata-
clvsm In Bengal particularly there has arisen
something much like reign of terror. We
hear of English women fearing to go upon the
streets lest they be nsulted. if not assaulted, Of
the preaching Of open sedtiOn and Of bomb
throwing and assassination. To cope with the
situation the Indian government has prOmul-
gated two stringent decrees regulating the man
ufacture and sale OF explosives and restricting
that liberty Of the press which has been grossly
abused into license. Viscount Morley maintains
an outward serenity at the India Office, but 1t
is not 70 be doubted that n considerable measure
of anxiety prevails in London as well at
SinIa and Calcutta.
A strong illumination is thrown upon the Sit
uation by Sir Bampfylde Fuller In n letter 10
''The London Tines of recent date. There are
few men who can speak with the authority Of
SO much knowledge and experience he since
his career as Lieutenant Governor OF Eastern
Bengal and Assam. Perhaps we should discount
his utterances to some degree on account of
inevitable personal feeling, for he considers him
self to have been Ill used. sacrificed to popular
clamor and Misrepresentation; and indeed his
state of MIND toward the government which per-
mtted him to be forced to resign his place Is
suggested In the title which he borrows from
Zoa for his letter "JAccuse." Nevertheless,
his comments on Indian affairs must command
close attention. The secret Of the whole trouble,
he says is that the British in India are sup

A DEPENDABLE PARTY.

Senator Lodge. in his speech TO the chicago
convention on assuming the post of permanent
chairman, laid proper stress on the pollces
which the Republican party must accept to CON
tinue its historic career as an organization
which has risen in all emergencies to the needs
of the nation. Republicanism has always TIL
umphed when it has stood boldly for progress
sire and liberal ideas, as when 1t combated
slavery in the sos, restored the Union in the
COS. preserved our industrial system against
free trade attacks in the sos and defended the
integrity of the money standard in the @s 1t
has won because il has shown positive convic-
tions and the courage TO carry them Into prac-
tice Now it has again the opportunity to prove
its devotion to progress by applying and extend
ing the policies which President RoOsevelt's ad-
minStratiOn has made convincing and consp1c-
uous.
The Democratic party said Mr. Lodge. asks
the youth of the country Ito judge it by It's
undiscovered future But the Republican
party can point to past of fruitful activity
and ask To be judged both by that and by Its
purpose to meet the political demands of the
present and the future. As the Senator well
put 1t:
We ask for the confidence and support or the
American people because we have met the prob
lens OF the day and have tried patiently TO soNe
them. We appeal for votes and for the power
they confer because we uphold the PresldeRJ Rt :
policies and shall continue to sustain them we
make our appeal with confidence because we
have a we'll defined policy. and are not, like our
opponents, fImbling in the dark to find some
opinion something
The Chicago convention has g record TO stand
on and record to make. In both these re-
spects it has a great advantage over It's his

A SAMPLE STORY.

Our speciaI correspondence from washington
yesterday contained an interesting refutation Oh
an abominable story concerning freSloeht va
brera of Guatemala which was recentl! "lueS
current and which formed the basis FOR nunier
ono severe criticisms and condemnatiOns Of that
ruler The story was that when he received the
congratulations of the foreign ministers at
Guatemala City on his recovery from tue III
iuries inflicted upon him by would-be assassin
President Cabrera declared to his callers tnat
he intended to avenge himself not only upon the
actual consprators against MIN pu' aiso uP'''
their families.
The Guatemalan government thereupon asked
the ministers to state for the sake of establish
ing the truth whether any such savage lnten-
ton was expressed. Without exception they de-
clare that 1t was not. The German Minister,
dean of the corps. writes that Mr.. CABRERA saiu
no such thing. The American Minister declares
that he heard no such words. The Minister OF
Salvador denounces the story as vile falslnca-
ton. The ministers Of Great Britain, Mexico,
France Belgium, Chill ard Peru all testlfv 10
the same effect The refutaton OF the stors Is
unanimous. from the most authoritative sources.
1t is. of course impossible not to accept the
testimony Of these ministers as conclusive
against the reports hitherto anonymously put
forth We must believe that the original story
was a malicious concoction. DEVISED by fhe enc
mics of Mr.. Cabrera for the purpose OF Great
ing prejudice against him, and perhaps by enc
mics of Central America for the purpose OF In
turing the international repute of those states
1t Is natural TO assume. moreover, that this was
sample of many equally groundless tales whlch
have been put forward concerning our southern
neghbors. If any one would invent tale SO
false and so easily proved false this we may
reasonably suspect many others Of which the
truth or untruth Is less readily TO be determined.

MOCK WAR AND REAL LESSONS.

The horrors of war again being impressed
upon the public, vicariOusly ana In homFO-
pathic doses I'D at Pine Camp and around New
York Bay Six thousand mitiamen and regu-
lars are getting up to see JEFFERSON County
sunrises while their mates down here are lying
awake nights to prevent eight hostile vessels
from running the forts and seizing Manhat-
tan 1t Is hard work while 1t lasts-rain, heat.
dust drill and lectures enough to keep anybody
from calling the manpuvres a picnic. Maybe
some of the boys will drop in their tracks be-
fore the game is ended and few participants
NAV choose to drop out of the ranks and take
their chances on jury duty. But nearly every
body will agree that it Is good training for
the state troops and valuable branch of pub
lie education
The last few years have seen military drill
rise III popular esteem. This awakening Is
due partly TO the wise efforts OF the federal
and state authorities. partly to the drift OF in
ternational politics and in some degree to a
new realization Of the physical and moral value
of soldiers training. This last factor ought
to be more potent than ii is. Even the few
strenuous summer days in which the militia
man tastes military life have a wholesome and
lasting influence for good. They teach many
q youth discipline and It's value; and this les
son is one which few Americans take pains to
study BY coupling the raw deniZens of city
armOrieS with the regulars ana serving Doth
with the iatter's daily sauce the authorities
enable the state troops TO learn vast deal
more than they could under the Old easygong
system of militia excursions. Scarcely less
important than discipline Is knowledge about
sanitation and the other household details OF
camp life The instruction now given in these
branches Is as thorough the brief time per-
mits. and it cannot fail to improve the per-
sonal habits of many learners. While the
rank and file are being thus hammered into
shane for warfare the public Is being taught
by the same procedure to see the evil side OF
strife You cannot find Il housewife anywhere
along New York Bay who is anxious to have
| the country get into a real war with a real
foreign power If the cannOnadng of the forts
in mock battle is likely TO smash brica-brac
and glassware and if the searchights flashing
along the shore all night make tete-atetes and
sleep impossible what nuisance honest hos
tilities must be. The time and money spent in
teaching all these things every summer are
well invested The only question Is how much
more extensive and prolonged the manHuvres
might profitably be made.
