Lord Dufferin.

BENEVICIENT EFFECTS OF THE GREAT DIPLO- MAT’S RULE IN INDIA.

Lord Dufferin has now been two years in India. As his hea!th is sufferinig under the pressure of hard work and an unfavorable climate, there is some talk of his speedy re- turn to England, where, perhaps, in the field of politics he may be of even more use to the Empire than he is in the distant de- pendency. Meanwhile the press is discuss- ing the value of his services as an Indian adininistrator. Itseems to be the general opinion ‘that Lord Dufferin has been as skillful as a despot as he was as a constitu- tional ruler in Canada and as a diplomat at St. Petersburg or Constantinople , and it is declared that when he bids farewell to India he will leave behind him evidences of his genius in the shape of administration reforms and material improvements, by which among those who favor British rule he will ever be gratefully remembered. On his arrival in India Lord Dufferin at once set himself to work to deal with domestic questions. His first essay was with the zemindary system of Bengal. This system was a legacy left by Lord Cornwallis cighty years ago. Under it the zemindars, or land- lords, were given permanent rights in the soil, subject only to a rent to the Govern- ment. ‘These men re-let their holdings to the ryots or peasants. Owing to the growth of the population rentals payable by» the ryots have increased, but, in consequence of the arrangement made under Cornwallis, the tax payable to the Government has re- mained stationary. The zemindars have therefore enjoyed rather a valuable _privi- lege at the expense of theryots. And they have extracted every cent possible under it, the unfortunate peasants having been com- pelled to suffer a species of rack-renting which would make an Irish landlord blush Lord Dufferin has dealt with this system, and has secured for the ryots fixity of tenure and fair rents. There has also been a land settlement in Oude, and efforts ar being made to effect similar reforms throughout the Empire.

Attention has been paid to the Civil Ser- vice. Formerly the comfortable salaries obtainable in this branch of Government were the spoils of the English victors; but now patives are almitted to some of the sweets of oftice. For this the Indians have long struggled. The principle was conced- ed in part under former viceroys; but under Lord Dufferin it has been so extended that natives are eligible for any minor office, and a certain number are annually drafted into the service without examination. The cost of the service has also been considered, and there is a report before the Viceroy logking to a reform under which £700,000 a year will be saved. Railway extension has been pushed vigorously; one of the more import- ant roads being that inte Afghanistan. This has had its influence upon the trade of the country. The boundary between India and Afghanistan has heen defined, and Burmah has been annexed. In the management of the princes of the feudatory states Lord Dufferin has been very success- ful. Ifthere is one thing more than another that a native prince demands it is a due observance of all the formalities connected with his office. Those who know how deferential the Viceroy could be to a Canadian deputy reeve, when occasion required, can well understand that his con- ferences with Indian princes have not been wanting in that respect. Asa result of his good management, the native states are said to be favorably disposed towards British rule. But all this is but one side of the Indian picture. Despite Lord Duffer- in’s skilful administration, everything is r.ot

serene. The people are poor im the extreme. The average annual income of two hundred millions of

them is only £2 14s., or say $13. The taxation is high. A huge civil list and a costly military establishment, the latter en- larged last year by the addition to it of 10,- 000 English troops and 53,000 native troops, make an enormous revenue necessary. Further, there is a pension list of consider-

able length, the names upon which are

and admivistiation of the country. They also ceclare that the taxes are levied con- trary to their wishes, in such a manner as to be oppresive in the extreme. The feel- ing of dissatisfaction, it is said, has grown of late. It has been voiced by the native press, and has been echoed in the national conventions,

According to the London Times,the coun- try, despite Lord Dufferin’s — skillful administation and his many reforms, is in a critical state. This is just one thing that will satisfy it, and that is to give what the English will be -loath to exceed a larger measure of control to the native popula- tion.

+ a Horses for England. HOW JT PAYS CANADA TO HAVE MEN OF WEIGHT IN THE GOVERNMENT.

The two officers who visited Canada last year in the interest of the British War De- partment-— Colonels Ravenhill and Phillips

have recently presented their report. It will be remembered that as the result of correspondence between Hon. Mr. Carling, Minister of Agricuiture, and Sir Charles Tupper on the one hand, and the War Oftice on the other, these gentlemen came to Canada to ascertain its availability as a field for supplying the British cavalry with horses. The report just made is most satisfactory. The animals which they pur- chased here in 1886 have been. broken in at the Horse Guards, and have morethan metthe expectations of theofticers. The ranch horses obtained inthe Northwest werethe favorites, and the report is full of encouragement to this branch of Canadian enterprise. As the result of the experiment which Hou. My. Carling induced the War Oifice to try, an order for three hundred horses given for this year, and it is ré

has been sausonable to assuime that large and increasing draughts will annually be made on the UVandian stock. With markets like this springing up, the raising of horses in the Domiiion will re- ceive substantial stimulation, and in the accruing advantages the farming class will have the chief share. i - <i> hee it United States’ Defences.

Eminent English military authorities con- demn the proposition of the United States to expend over £27 ,000,C00 sterling for purposes of defence. They say that such costly fortifications as are contemplated belorg to the old school, and that for one- fifth of the sum England could raise her coast defences the world over to the highest standard of efficacy. Sir Andrew Clarke, formerly Inspector-General of Fortitica- tions, says that he would do away with forts, relying upon invisibility of defences

rather than upon invulnerability. He be- lieves in a “disappearing gun system” which he was worked, and _ which renders fortifications unnecessary. ‘The

gun occupies a hole im the ground. When in action it is raised by a sort of hy- draulic elevator, and after firing sinks into the pit to be reloaded. Thus it is exposed for only a few seconds. When in the pit it can only be hit bya vertical or plunging fire, and the likelihood of such shots strik- ing their mark is infinitely small. Covered ways shelter the men who load the gun so tha: the enemy has practically nothing to aim at.” A plan is being devised for work- ing such a gun by electricity, so that it can be operated from a safe distance. +. mom +

Progressive Kingston.

The Kingston Whig furnishes figures to show how the Limestone City has progress ed since 1878. In 1878 the assessed value of real estate, personal property and in- come was $5,411,884 In 1887 the value had reached $6,924,975. This shows an increase of a million anda half. During the same period the population has in- creased by eighteen hundred. In 1878 the population was 14,078; in 1887 it is 15,827. These figures, though not indicating a mushroom growth, show that the city more than holding its own. To fully under- stand their meaning it is necessary to divide the wealth in each year by the population in each year. This division shows that in 1878 the proportion of wealth to every man, woman and child in the city was $512, while the proportion in 1887 is $431, an in- crease of nearly forty per cent.
