On the list of important financial in

been marvellous, and one of continued

He has taken up and carried

than any member of the National
House within our recollection. The
many salutary measures and appropri-
atoms advanced and carried through
under his personal aid and supervision
are too numerous and well known to
justify lengthy recital of them in
this article.
His recent nomination to succeed

was the harmonious result of a DELHI

people and when quite a young man h2
established himself firmly and permS,

city and demonstrated himself to be a
