for 11 commandor conipotcnt to do tho

days of Warren Hastiugs in India,
down to tho subjugation of tho Boors
in South Africa, British aggressiou is
justiflotl and tho claim is put tip
that thoro "uoed bo 110 sympathy
wastod oithor 011 tho Mullah or his fol-
lowors, nor should talk of land grab-
bing clond mon's judgmont of condi-
tions. Oivilization iu that part of
Africa can now bo sustaiued only iu
0110 way. It is threatcncd by an up-
rising so dangorous that its ultimato
succoss would lead to tho oxtinctiou
of European authority nlong tho en-
tiro southern slioro pf tho Gulf of
Adon, besido ondangoriug tho frout

of tho contiucnt not containcd within

ritories, but dopondent in a nioasnro
upon tho commorcial facilitios aiTord
cd by thoir soaports. It is theroforo
apparent that tho task of subjngating
tlio Mullah must bo so thoroughly ao
complishod as to mako impossiblo a
rovival of tho iirosont fury. Maxinis
and maga.iuo rifles aro not idcal civi
lizors, but tho improved conditiou of
tho lands thoy havo rodoomed from

and tho ouly warrant nooded for thoir

SOME SUGGESTIONS.
"In a niultitudo of counsollors thoro

and proposal of amcndniont to this

that of a nieasuro satisfactory in

aro oxtracts from a lottor that aro
worthy of sorious cousidoratiou and
thoy aro rcspoctfully roforrod to tlio
conimitteo, poradventuro safety may
lio in tho suggestions presouted :
"That tho prohibitory law should
bo oxamined carofully, and if thoro
aro sorious dofects in " it, or abusos,
thoy should bo romediod so that when
tho clioico is mado it may bo botwcon
tlio best possiblo prohibitory law and
tho best possiblo substituto for it.
"That whatovcr substituto is pro
posed tho timo for tho roforondum
may bo far enough off to givo timo
for thorough cousidoratiou of tho
quostion 011 all sidos.
"If it is possiblo I should vory much
desiro that tho proposod substituto
should not bo an "opon saloon" but
sonio form of salo undor Stato coutrol,
so that an olbmont of privato gain
should bo lacking. Might not tho
opiiononts of tho prcsout law bo satis
ilod to havo it mado possiblo for nny
