ENGLISH RULE iN INDIA,

ee

By Bishop Thobars.

Several American papers received by a Jate mail speak in somewhat alarming terms of an impending mutioy io India. The impression seems to prevail, at least to a considerable extent, that the millions of this great empire are extremely restive under English rule, and that only prompt and vigorous measures can prevent a general uprisivg of the people against the foreigner. Nothing, however, like popu- lar discontent, at least in the proper sense of that term, 18 apparent in auy direction. The vigorous measures taken in Bombay and Puona to arrest the progress of the plague—measures noi nearly so vigorous as those taken in New York a few years ago when acare of cholera chanced to occur—created a state ot feeling which at times seemed likely to become serious, but this irritation was chiefly local, apd at times re-embled a pavic rather thao a rebellion. A great riot occured some montus since in Calcutta, but this again was not only local, but confined to one section of the community, and at its worst was not 80 serious an affair ae the anii-[talian riot which occurred in New Orleans a few years ago. In sbort, the millicos of ladia, taking them in the mass, are not ouly quiet, but apparently quite content.

What hae occurred, however, is a somewhet serious frontier war among the mountaineers to the weet aod northwest ot the river Indus. This war, the moat critical part of which is already over, has not been at any time cf a seriou~ character. The English people, being both by trainingand instinct of @ more military cast than the Americrns, are apt to make more ado when they have even aewall war on their bands than the Americans would do under similar cir cumstances. For instance, this present frontier war is by no means of so formid- able a chasacter as the Ind'an war in which General Cusier waskiliel. A number of turbulent Mohammedan tribes ovcupy the vast mountain region situated between Afghasistan aod Ind:a, So far from har. boring any evil designs against these peo- ple, the Indian government has for years doue everything to conciliatethem. The situation is iu many respects prcisely similar tothan cn our own frontier not many yearsago. Everyone in America understands how our government tried to make and keep peace with the Indigo tr.b¢s, and how in order to do so subsides were voted to them, which practically amounted to payicg blackmail to most of the ‘ribes, Many of the most intelligent Anglo-Indians Gf the day speak of the policy of their governme.! 09 the North» west frovtier in simitar terma, 2 be Indian ‘Yovernment, 82 far from wishivg (o pick a quarrel with these trials, e0 as to get a pri- tense for taking possession of their country, has actuslly been pursu:ng a policy similar to that of the Americag goveroment jy dealing with the Americas i. ise, They have sent preseils,io the chiete, made ad- vantageous treaties with them,and at times

but extremely good for the sufferer from that harassing disease is Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. No medi- cine can compare with this great remedy in the prompt and perma- nent aid it gives in all bronchial affections.“ It stops the cough, soothes the irritated throat, and in-

duces refreshing sleep. —

* “4 short time ago I was taken with a severe attack of bronchitis, and neither phy- sicians nor ordinary remedies gave me relief. In despair of finding anything to cure me, I bought a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Less than one bottle entirely cured me.”

The career of the Eoglish in India is in wany respects similar to that of the Eng lish colonists who settled inthe United States. When Christian civ 1 zition comes directly into collision with the civilizatioa of any non-Christian people, b> they pagane, Hindus, Buddhists, or Mobammedans, it must inev:tably provoke

a collision. Never until oil and water learn how to unite can thesee two civiliza- tions live and flourish side by wide. It will

often happen, in the course of the collision that the Christian party will appear in the wrong, and actually be in the wrong, but the collision is inevitable, aod the result equally inevitable, Christian civilization whatever may be said truthfully againet it is destined to become paramwunt in this world. Its only possible danger is that it may destroy itself, but every other civiliza tion will godown before it. Ase in the United States the eettlers were Lrought into inevitable collision with the Indiaos, so the English merchant, who in recent years has become almost oranofepresent in this world, must in the nature of the case stir up trouble in every place where he becomes a permanent factor in the com- munity. As soon as it was settled that Englishmen were to become permanent residents in India, the breaking in pieces and reconstruction of the whole empi-e became inevitable. [tis thus io Africa Wemay lament the duplicity of Cecil R odes, and others like him, but, as has happened a thousand times before, it will! happen again that God will cverrule the echemes and doings even of men whodo not obey the law of righteousnese, ia such @ way as to secure good resulis for com- munities and nations.

The westward march of American civi- lization has been attended by cruelty and injustice at almost every step, and yet the genera) result has been good for the world. The erection of a great Ang'c-Indian em- pire in Southern Asia has been a» meye-~ ment of like kind: England never ooa- quered India. A'‘few Englishmen came out to India, organized a plau of govero- ment which was bound to assume imperial dimensions, and, aided by the people of Tudia, built wp the mighty empire which we now see. Those writers in America who talk glibly of English earth-hunger, and of the ambition of Englana toextend her empire over the whole world, not only seem to have feeble pow- ers of observation, but to have studied history to little purpose. The English speaking people ate as mani‘estly a provi- dental people as were the ancient He- brews, and every Christain studert of history ought to be able to see that God’s hand is guiding them, and that they are destincd to assume the l-adership of the human race. At the end of another century the English speaking people will namber between five and seven hundred millions, aod practially control the world. Theirais a common missicn, and English Americans, Canadians, Australians. New Zelanders, and Afrikanders should recognize the fact. They belong to one family, they speak one language, they have inherited common iist titions,aud f they¢o not prove true to the great mission which god is givio, them, they will prove the moet recreant to duty of any people who have ever figured ip history.

BOOTH AND READE.

MEETING OF THE TRAGEDIAN AND THE NOVELIST IN LONDON.

Reade Expressed His Great Regard For Americans and Told of Dickens’ Mistak and Regretse—How Booth Felt Abou* Irving—The Latter’s Debt to Bateman.

Mr. E. H. House contributes an article to The Century on ‘‘Edwin Booth In Lon- don.”’ Mr. House tells of Booth’s visit to Charles Reade, who was a great admirer of the American actor. After Reade had spoken of his admiration for Americans Booth asked him why he did not visit this country, assuring him a hearty welcome. Mr. House then records the following con- versation:

“Ah, yes. They would treat me well— very well—too well. I used to think of going, and have laid out many a plan with our friend here. Lectures. No. It would have been teaching my children to suck eczs. I might have read them 4 new story or put a new play upon the stage. It's too late now. Iam too old to go through such a round of hospitality as they would give me. I should never come back alive.”’

‘*I think you could indicate-your wishes in that matter and they would be respect- ed. ”

‘‘Impossible. A guest must not dictato | the manner of his entertainment, and it | would be ungracious to reject any welcome kindly offered. And even if I asked it, I should probably not be too well pleased to | be Ieft alone. Besides,’’ Reade added, with more seriousness than he had yet shown, ‘‘there is another consideration. I could not be at case—it would go against | my conscience—to accept what I should | get in America, thinking all the time of the niggardly way we use your people. You don't remember perhaps what the Americans did for Thackeray. Ido. And for Dickens, who had given them little reason to like him. He had many doubts about his wisdom in facing them again. I never had. They had shown what they were made of when, in spite of their unset- tled grievances, they sent pity and help to Lancashire.

**I told Dickens his suspicions were un- worthy of him, and I am bound to say that one of the first things he did when he came back was to send for me to Gads- hill and confess how wrong he had been. He spoke with tears in his eyes, and said he envied me—think of that!—envied me for being the first English author to win the American heart by keeping clear of injustice. He said, too, that from that time forth he would write for the whole

of his race, which he had never done be- ,

fore. He meant this, I know, and he would have proved it if he had lived.”

‘**We have no Thackeray or Dickens to send you,’’ Booth remarked, ‘“‘but if we had, do you think their claim to gratitude would be doniod?”

“I judge from what I see,” answered Reade. ‘At least those who come in your line of work mostly get the cold shoulder. There was Jefferson, whose acting was the finest of fine art. Small satisfaction for him in England! Your brother-in- law, Clarke, had to fight tooth and nail only to get a place that was worth noth- ing compared to what he left at home. I admired his pluck, though I never could understand why he struggled so hard to gain so little. Your own case, if you will let me speak frankly, is a very striking illustration of thecold blooded indifference that irritates me. Is it credible, I ask you, that the leading actor of Mngland should visit America and be received there as you are here? Whst have we given you? Only

a certain amount of fame, if I may call it D-

so, and even that is probably grudged you by high and low in theatrical circles.’

‘**I have no reason to think that,” said Booth. “If Irving had anything but the best feeling, he would. not have made the

turn out one of the luckiest hits of his life. Mark my words, his earnings, as he counts them here, will be doubled, at the least, in your free handed country. I don’t say that this is in his calculations— though it may be without any discredit to him—but the result is certain. Your friends will not forget his service, or let it go unrewarded.”’

‘*Not if I can help it!’’ Booth exclaimed.

“Surely, and so it should be. I think also that Irving may be conscious of some Awerican obligations in the past. He oved a great deal to the industry and de- votion of his American manager, Bate- man. We know what he is today, and we believe his success is deserved. But he might have waited for it many a long year without Bateman’s helping hand. I have watched Irving since he first set foot in London, and I know that for four years he made scarcely a step ahead. Then under Bateman he went up like a rocket. They used to say the manager overdid it,

but I like a man who will fight through | thick and thin for his faith and his friend. Poor Bateman! His championship cost him dearin theend. His last tilt in be- half of his leading man brought the stroke | af heart dimase from which he died. I/ suppose Irving has not forgotten that.” |

‘*4 man who can do a good turn is not | the sort to forget one,” said Booth, with emphasis. ;

‘‘Let us hope so. Certainly I shall al- ways think the better of him for what he is doing for you.”’

What He Did and Did Not Do,

He never went toa theater in all his life or toa ball. He never read a rovel or careé for any book of common light literature. Magazines and reviews for the most part he eschewed, denominating them ‘“‘trash,’’ though he would occasion- ally peruse an article on some subject in which he was interested. He scanned The Times daily and followed the summaries of parliamentary debate sufficiently to master the general drift of political ques- tions. He read The Saturday Review for some years until he took offense at a cer- tain article, after which he never looked

at the paper again. He enjoyed the car- toons in Judy caricaturing the Liberal government. He enjoyed a good ghost story, and professed to regard black cats as uncanny.—‘*The Memorials of the Life and Writingsof Solomon Czsar Malan, ae ahi
