complicité disparaissent. La Cour de cassation a été surtout impressionnée par ce second argument. Constatant que la Cour d'appel avait, en effet, négligé de s'expliquer sur la qualité de mineure mariée de Pannamalle elle n'a pas cru nécessaire de statuer sur le premier moyen et a cassé l'arrêt si sévèrement critiqué par la femme Maniquame. L'affaire est renvoyée, devant la cour de Pondichéry, Le problème soulevé montre, du reste, à quel point est parfois délicat l'exercice de notre appareil judiciaire dans nos plus vieilles colonies. CHARITÉ dans les polémiques Il y a un mot facilement jeté par certaines bonnes personnes
y a un mot facilement jeté par certaines bonnes personnes à la figure des feuilles chétives, quand celles-ci formulent quelques vérités. Tout de suite, elles ont sur le bord de la bouche cette plainte : Malgré de la charité. Ce reproche grondeur, en vérité, ne tient guère lorsqu'on y réfléchit un peu. Il faut connaître, se faire une juste idée de la charité. Depuis que nous lisons trop peu l'évangile, nous avons oublié. La charité, ce n'est pas une complaisance béate qui fait dire amen à tout ce que l'on dit ou fait. Ce n'est pas non plus ce mutisme
dit ou fait. Ce n'est pas non plus ce mutisme qui laisse dans l'ombre ce qu'il faut signaler, pour le plus grand bien de tous. Elle est faite, la charité, de force et de douceur, d'intelligence et de prévoyance, de sacrifices et de devouement. Elle encourage, aide, prie; mais aussi, elle avertit, corrige, arrache, défend. Écoutons là-dessus le plus doux des évêques, saint François de Sales, si modéré, si indulgent, si tolérant : Il ne faut pas, pensant fuir le vice de la médisance, favoriser, flatter ou nourrir les autres vices. Mais il faut dire rondement et franchement mal du

Mais il faut dire rondement et franchement mal du mal, et blâmer les choses blâmables, il faut observer, en blâmant le vice d'épargner, le plus que vous pourrez, la personne en laquelle il est. Le nombre de Juifs en France. D'après une statistique du Matin, les juifs seraient répandus en France de la manière suivante : à Paris, 42000 à Bordeaux, 5000 ; Frontière Est, 19000 ; Soit au total 64000 ; Restent 7200 disséminés par tout le territoire. La fortune mobilière de la France est évaluée à 80 milliards. Les juifs possèdent pour 20 milliards de valeurs mobilières.
milliards. Les juifs possèdent pour 20 milliards de valeurs mobilières. C'est ce qui montre, une loi de plus, combien la richesse, l'influence et la situation privilégiée des Juifs est hors de proportion avec leur importance numérique. Il y a une choquante inégalité. Quelquefois l'honneur. On connaît, au moins de réputation, le célèbre humoriste Mark Twain, qui voyage actuellement en Europe. Partout il répand des fables sur son compte de faussetés nouvelles. Tout récemment il reçut d'Amérique un télégramme lui disant : "Nouvelle fortement exagérée." Mark Twain répondit par acheminement : "Nouvelle fortement exagérée." À un ami habitant Hartford, sa ville
"Nouvelle fortement exagérée." À un ami habitant Hartford, sa ville natale, il vient d'adresser la lettre suivante : J'espère que les informations concernant mon humeur personnelle vont s'épuiser. On a annoncé que j'étais malade, c'était un autre; on a annoncé que j'étais mort, c'était encore un autre; on a annoncé que j'avais fait un héritage, toujours un autre; enfin on a annoncé que j'ai payé mes dettes, et ce n'est encore que moi. Mark Twain a parlé. Il a juré de désintéresser jusqu'au dernier centime tous ses créanciers, qui ne lui ont demandé que 50 p. cent de leurs créances.
lui ont demandé que 50 p. cent de leurs créances. Il tient parole : 75 p. cent du passif sont déjà remboursés et les 25 p. cent qui restent le seront sous peu. Ce qui prouve que l'honneur n'est pas le seul des séries, ni la fumerie la probité. BIBLIOGRAPHIE. LE TRIOMPHE DE L'AMOUR Nous ne voulons pas entreprendre d'analyser ici le roman de M.

Le Triomphe de l'Amour doit d'ailleurs être classé parmi ces ouvrages littéraires de fond et de forme, que la meilleure dissection ne déflore sans aucun profit pour les lecteurs auxquels on les présente. Le roman de M. Joseph Bouchard s'annonce comme un gros succès de librairie pour 1898.

As Mr. Barnes says: "Under the rules, it would be possible for the Successor, if the Apostles stationed at Calcutta to draw, while absent on a three years' visit, say to his friends in England, amounts to £6,100; of an Archdeacon, to £1,300; of a senior Chaplain, to £1,500; and of a junior Chaplain, to £1,050."

PROTEST MEETING AT THE TOWN HALL. Pursuant to a requisition on the Sheriff signed by several Native gentlemen of Calcutta, a very largely attended meeting, for the purpose of protesting against the Indian Penal Code Amendment Bill, was held at the Town Hall yesterday evening. Among those present were Messrs. W.C. Bonnerjee, Normanworth Sen, H.D. Mallik, Monomohonath Mitter, Nobin Behari Sircar, A. Chaudhri, N. Haider, Kalliyanan Mitter, Bhupendranath
Nobin Behari Sircar, A. Chaudhri, N. Haider, Kalliyanan Mitter, Bhupendranath Bose and Niratan Sircar. Several Europeans and thousands of natives were present. For more than an hour before the time fixed for the meeting to take place, the main and side halls of the Town Hall were crammed with native students. The Sheriff, the Acting Mayor, Mr. Allan Arthur, having declared the meeting open, called upon those present to elect their own Chairman, and in response to this call, M.W.C. Bonnerjee, Barrister, was elected to the chair. The Chairman said that he had been connected with public affairs for the
that he had been connected with public affairs for the past thirty years, but he did not remember any measure of such importance to evoke such strong feelings, as the proposals now before the Governor had done. The meeting expressed its unanimous opinion that if the Government proceeded with the enactment of the Bill, it would be a great violation of the trust reposed in it by the people of this country. The meeting also stated that if the Government was determined to press for the Bill, it should do so in a way that would not offend the feelings
so in a way that would not offend the feelings of its subjects, many of whom were deeply opposed to it. The Chairman further remarked that it was the duty of the Government, as the representative of the people, to consider the sentiments of its subjects, especially when those sentiments were so universally against the measure. He urged the Government not to use its great power in a way that would alienate the people of India from it. The meeting had not been held so largely for the purpose of protesting against a measure as of entreating the Government to
protesting against a measure as of entreating the Government to pause and consider well the circumstances of the country. It was necessary, in the opinion of the meeting, that the Government should proceed with the Bill in the way it was being proceeded with. The Government was a strong one and had it in its power to pass any Bill it chose, but they entreated the Government not to use its greatness like a giant, and to proceed with discretion and with due regard to the feelings which it had evoked in the country. It was the conviction of many,
evoked in the country. It was the conviction of many, including the Chairman, that the vernacular press and the press of the day were a real help to the Government. The Government, as far as the people were concerned, was not a responsible Government unless it had the aid of its own conscience. The Bill was introduced on the 21st of December and it was proposed to discuss and, if necessary, pass it tomorrow. The Bill was subjected to as unnecessary, as the existing law was found sufficient to deal with all cases of sedition that had arisen or were
with all cases of sedition that had arisen or were deemed likely to arise. The time for its introduction was also inappropriate, as this was not the time when people's minds were exercised with past and present concerns. The Hon. Surendranath Banerjee here read a list of telegrams from various Public Associations sympathizing with the objects of the meeting. Abu Amritonath Mitter, Bahadur, proposed the first resolution as follows: "That this meeting earnestly hopes that in view of the singular unanimity with which the proposed modifications of the law of sedition have been disapproved of by Her Majesty's European, British
sedition have been disapproved of by Her Majesty's European, British and British Indian subjects and by important public bodies in the land representing widely different interests, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Anglo-Indian Defence Association, the High Court Bar, the British Indian Association, and other bodies, the Government will be pleased not to proceed further with the Bill without allowing further time for consideration and discussion. In the opinion of this meeting, the revision by the Select Committee makes no substantial change, and to quote the words of the Bengal Gazette newspaper, the result will be exactly what it
Bengal Gazette newspaper, the result will be exactly what it would have been if the Bill had been approved at the first reading." He said the Bill was an attack upon that liberty of the press which was the greatest safeguard of the people in all civilized countries. In its attempt to put down sedition, the Government was going to destroy all honest and fair criticism. Mr. C.G. Gray, Barrister, in seconding the resolution said that he did not think it went far enough, because the resolution as it stood, only asked the Government not to proceed with the Bill
only asked the Government not to proceed with the Bill and to allow further time for its consideration. He was inclined to go beyond that and advise the Government to drop the Bill for good and all. The prosecution had been successful under the existing law, and there was no further legislation required. The Hon. Surendranath Banerjee supported the resolution in a long and eloquent speech. He was sure all present regretted the introduction of the Bill which had been objected to by all the leading European and Native bodies in Calcutta and elsewhere. They had the sympathy of the
in Calcutta and elsewhere. They had the sympathy of the entire non-official community. The resolution was put to the vote and carried unanimously. Babu Norendranath Sen proposed the second resolution which ran as follows:– This memorial to the following effect be adopted and submitted to the Viceroy in Council under the signature of the Chairman of this meeting:– That your memorialists view with alarm and apprehension the amendments, of which notice was given on the 21st of December, to this Bill for the amendment of the Criminal Code, in relation to extra-territorial offenses, which your memorialists feel is a grave
to extra-territorial offenses, which your memorialists feel is a grave and serious departure from the views of the Indian Law Commissioners and the eminent men who have since dealt with the subject, and your memorialists humbly pray that your Excellency in Council may be pleased to permit the further time for their discussion and consideration. That your memorialists further humbly pray that your Excellency in Council may be pleased to sanction the insertion in Section 124A. of a definition of disaffection in the sense in which it was explained by the Indian Law Commissioners; to sanction the omission of the
the Indian Law Commissioners; to sanction the omission of the vague and uncertain words hatred, contempt, and enmity, and of any provision throwing upon a person accused under Section 500 the proof of the absence of the intent charged; and to limit the scope of that section to what is false, and to sanction the omission from the Bill to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure of any provision enabling Magistrates to act upon offenses under Section 1 of the Penal Code, and to section the insertion in Section 1JA of the Penal Code as proposed by the Select Committee,
of the Penal Code as proposed by the Select Committee, viz., with the insertion to cause a breach of the peace. Babu Bykantonnath Sen of Baripada seconded the resolution which was supported by Babu Robendra Nath Tagore speaking in Bengali, put to the vote and carried unanimously. Babu Kalicharan Bannerjee moved the third resolution as follows:– That this meeting desires to record its protest against the Criminal Procedure Bill of 1877, now pending before the Imperial legislative Council, as being a retrograde and reactionary measure which will add to the already large powers of the police, invest Magistrates with new
already large powers of the police, invest Magistrates with new authority which they do not now possess, and curtail the powers of the High Court, all to the great prejudice of accused persons. The mover characterized this Bill as an attempt to deprive the High Court of its Extraordinary jurisdiction, a power prized by the people. He felt certain that each and all who valued their liberties would protest against this curtailment of the powers of that court, and he trusted that all would support the motion. The resolution was seconded, put to the vote, and carried unanimously. With a

Sir William Harcourt and Mr. Balfour wound up the debate on the Frontier Policy, which the former denounced; and especially attacked Sir George White's Simla speech as being most culpable and dangerous. Mr. Balfour, who defended Sir George White, said he was unable to give the slightest hope of the avoidance of complications

The Chairman spoke thus:– "The resolution unanimously passed describes the meeting as that of British residents in the United Kingdom." The report, however, calls the majority of those present 'East Indians.'

who are now known as Europeans. In a book, published in 1832, giving an account of the state of society in Calcutta, Bombay, etc., we find a writer speaking of a class called indiscriminately half-castes, Eurasians, and Hindu Britons. In another book, published in 1841, an advocate of the Supreme Court of Calcutta gives the same class the progressive names of half castes, Eurasians and Anglo-Indians. But in neither of the books does the term East Indian appear. In what period then was the word specifically applied to a particular section of Indian society? We much fear old Dadabhai and
section of Indian society? We much fear old Dadabhai and Young India in England are doing no good for India. Their proceedings and utterances, on the contrary, may have to evil consequences. The freedom of speech in which M. Dadabhai Naoroji indulged shows an advance which has grown during his residence in England. He could be of no use to his master. Quick war Mulharaj and he now speaks as a generous Englishman for poor India. If the Bloomsbury conference turns against India, Mr. Dadabhai must be accountable for it.

We are sorry for young Dr. Mullik. He is a scion of a respectable family in Calcutta. His grandfather had been in Government service. So his father, and his brother is a member of the Civil Service of India. When he returns to India to practice, would he have the inclination and time for display of half his present patriotism? Evidently, he spoke, without any thought of his countrymen in India and little thinking the mischief he was doing thereby. His boyish mutinous murmurs, if listened to, can only do harm, but no good. Probably, they will be considered as
harm, but no good. Probably, they will be considered as justification for the new law of sedition proposed by Mr. Chalmers. AU NOM DU PEUPLE FRANÇAIS DE PAR LA LOI ET LA JUSTICE ET ÉTUDE DE M.
