Dr.. Johnson's Advice.

Cardinal Logue recently cited DR..
Johnson's celebrated advice to an Irish
man on the subject OF the union, do
not unite with u.s. for If you do we
will rob you" DR.. Johnson's dictum
was cited with approval by no less
an authority than Gladstone himself
In an article on the financial rela-
tions between Great Britain and Ire
land in the Contemporary Review
March. 1888-written eight years be-
fore the issue of the Report of the
Financial Relations Commission in
1s96-G!Adstone characterizes "the case
Of the pecuniary cost of our present
relations with Ireland as one OF pecu-
liar and unparalleled infelicity" He
declares, that Ireland is governed in
civil matters worse than England and
Scotland, and at almost twice the an
nual cost per head, and then proceeds
"While, we use up this enormous
charge, Ireland loudly and bitterly com
plains that we have fleeced her, as
DR.. johnson predicted that we should
And am compelled. after some inquiry
into a very intricate subject, to say
that as respects the share Of the Ma
tional Debt charged on her under the
arrangements Of the Act OF Union. he1
complaint is. in my opinion, one the
substance Of which 1t will be found
impossible, to confute." Gladstone'e
words become more emphatic when 4
Is borne in mind that during the one
and-twenty years since he spoke. th
civil charge per head Of the. popula
ton Of Ireland, has risen from 81 t
$40. and that while the population o
Ireland has declined from five million
to four millions and a half the popula
tion Of Great Britain has increase
from thirty-two TO upwards of thirty
eight millions.

that one-half have never once known
what 1t was to have enough to eat
was informed that probably, forty
per cent live in state Of practical
starvation. Before distrust the. evi-
dence of my own eyes as. to British
misrule In India, some one will have
to explain to me how these facts are
in any way compatible with the idea
of governmental benevolence or gov
ernmental efficiency, either.
But sad as is the condition of India
under the British there is one phase
of this discussion that is not without
it's grim humor. While we are being
assured of the excellence of the In
dian government. nobody seems 10
consider how it is maintained. Well.
then, how is that done? At the point
Of. the rifle. After century and a
half Of this style Of benevolence. the
gratitude of the people is so great that
they are hourly expected to rise and
tear. their benefactors to pieces. IS
1t conceivable that were the govern
ment really good the people would be
hcessantly plotting revolution? Or
that 1t would. be necessary to suppress
free speech among them? Or forbid
the right Of, assembly. or watch them
always with jealous care. lest they OBJ
tain any kind of weapons. or dwell
among them in fear OF assassination ?
Every careful observer who has stud
led in India the problem of India
knows perfectly we'll that nothing
keeps the native population from driv-
ing the British into the sea but the
kept out of native hands. And un-
less certain signs are very deceptive.
| even that precaution is not likely very
much longer to prevent an uprising
compared with which the revolution of
1857 was incidental. unless. of course.

traveied up from Ahmedasad ,to
Jalpur with an open. minded English
man whose years in India had not
obsessed him with race prejudice and
fatuous confidence. AS we went
through villages and saw. everywhere
the. scowling and sinister faces turned
upon us. the meagre forms and the
'wretched huts, the children that do
not play and the women who do not
smile, and heard everywhere the, same
mutterings, and curses. said to my
companion: "When Is this volcano
going to burst forth?" He gripped
me by the arm and looked me soberly
In the eye, and said: ANY moment"
Can there be wide spread discomfort
under a good. benevolent, just and
ideal government? Will vast masses
Of people risk their lives to cast from
them their own good? Do revolutions
ever GO backward? And above every
thing. ask again, can there be any,
where on this earth such a thing as a
tolerable autocracy?
