"GOOD MORNING BY FORCE"
Mr. B. writes from Dalhousie.-Yester day (17th) when I was coming from the Post Office, Iva European on horseback cong mifrom the opposite side towards me. Reaching me, he stopped and the following conversation took place between us;
·
European.Who are you? Mr. B.-I am an Indian. E-Yes, that I know that you are an Indian. Where are you comming from 7 B-I am coming from the Post Office. E-How long have you been here ? F. Since Saturday last. E-Are you a new comer ?

should be closer than that between Eng. land and ber self-governing colonies. India should, as I have said, be "a part and parcel of England," notwithstanding its physical separation. India should bave representatives in the House Commons in the same way as French India has representative in the National Assembly.
It is a hopeful sign that Britains sympathy for India is gradually increasing. In proportion as the government of the colonies will be separated from the Home government Britain will draw India into its bosom and I expect the time will come when abe will to consider Indin to be a mere dependency but will consider a part of it. It is a distant hope but sosner such a day comes the better it will be for both countries. countries.

R-Thank you, Sir.
E-Then bid me Good-morning. B-Good-morning, Sir. The European pleased at this, spurred hia horse and I, also, laughing at this. strange "Good Morning" by force, went
home.
RELATIONS BETWEEN INDIA AND ENGLAND.
It may he said that the great majority of the Liberal Party are practically representatives of India although they are selected by British constituencies. The number of such representatives will gradually increase and at last the British Parliament will deem it expedient to call upon India to select its own representatives. My ideas and words have you will The Panjabee. suppone, & prophetic tone but wish as often said is the father of thought.
Many of my European friends think that a Colonial form of Government like that of Australia or even Canada means virtual independence. That is undoubtedly so and unless European population predominates in India there is no hope or even possibility of such a self-government for India but it is feasible to have Indian representatives in the governing body in London."
A HINDU LEADER'S VIEWS.
How high is the ideal of British connection among a section of thoughtful and cultured Hindus will be evident from the following essential portions of a letter addressed by Babu Sarada Charan Mitra to a leading politician in England.
I am fully sensible that India is not fit to obtain Local Self-Government other in the same way as Canada and Colonies. There are great difficulties in its being made solf-governing colony, although the Colonial form of Government is a legitimate aspiration of the Indian people. But what I intended to way in my letter to you is that England should not be apathetic towards India, that India should be dealt with by the British as a part of Great Britain and that the tie between the two countries

ENGLAND'S PROBLEM IN INDIA.

say, they wish to have autonomy or selfgovernment like the Canadians, the Au-s traliana,and the Africane of Austral Africa. The English say that they are not mature, and limit themselves to petty reforms which they think ought to satisfy the restless Nationalists. But it is now quite clear that these petty reforms will not suffice. The whole country is agitated by a spirit of revolt. What will England do to keep in check three hundred millions of rebels, with the hundred and fifty thousand armed men which she maintains in India? That is the great problem which is beginning to disturb the minds of such English an think at all. "We have conquered India with the sword, and we mean preserve it with the sword" id what an English general has said.
AN ITALIAN VIEW.
In the course of a recent article on Indian Affairs, inspired by the execution of Madan Lal Dhingra, the "Socole," of Milan, writes:--
What do the Hindus want? They only wish to be masters in their own house. In the subordinate line, as the lawyers

It is a profound error, which could be rooted only in the brain of a military man by profession. Half a century ago it was still perhaps possible to over-rules A nation with the sword alone. Now it is not an, particularly in the case of Asiatic populations still thrilling at the recollection of the Japanese victortes at Mukden and Tsushima. If England, mistress of the art of colonisation, wishes to preserve India she will continue adapt herself, as in the case of Canada, Australia, and even Egypt; abandoning from time to time a part of her authority 1 making all the concessions that the Indians demand in in their meetings. On this condition alone will England succeed in prolonging her domination over India, until the day arrives on which the quen dam colony, like all the other colonies for that matter, will detach itself from the tree like a ripe pear.
