complete master of all India, holding
the so called Independent states to strict
accountability. The company had been
reformed by parliament, held its char

Its commercial character In Its political
activities. It maintained air army and

Sad of Company Government.
The mutiny of .1857 ' affected but' a
small part of the whole of British In
dia, but it changed . forever the course
of government in the country. The
massacre of British men. women and
children at Cawnppre by the treacherous
nana, tne siege oi Liuckaow and the
Storming of Delhi are events largely
celebrated in prose and poetry; The
English, punished the rebellious sol
diers and tfielr allies according to the
ancient law of -"an eye for an eye, a
tooth lor a tooth." Within a year th
British authority was reestablished and
the country was comparatively 'quiet,
but the death-knell of the company
had rung.
: Shortly before the mutlnv Sir Henrv
Lawrence had warned the company that
it must rive tne inaians a greater snare
In the administration of government or
be prepared for serious trouble. His
warnings were unheeded, and he- lost
his life In the 'storm which he had nre-
dlcted. The company could not have re
stored tranquillity after the revolt, and
tne ungiisn government recognised that
fact Then, wiping' out the record of
the company, with ell of Its disgraceful
corruption, its ruthless avarice, and Its
mercenary-cTiaracter.Xord Canhln.
governor-general, assumed the new title
or viceroy and proclaimed that .India
had passed : to the rule of the British
crown. Queen Victorians proclamation
was read at a great durbar at Allahabad
on November 1, 1868. -.'
'.. Title of Empress Asstuned, ,
Th that document the aueen declared
the purpose of the British to give the
Indians a larger degree of self-govern
ment. This is a promise which the In
dians have not forgotten, which the
present reiorm scheme is Intended. In
a measure, to . fulfill, and which must
oe redeemed in run before there can be
permanent peace In India.- - The Ian
guage of the proclamation was: "And
it la our further will that, as far aa
mav be. our subjects, of whatever race
or creed, do ireeiy and impartially ad
mltted to: offices In our service, the
duties or which they may be qualified
by their education, ability and integrity
to perform." .
Thirty years later at a magnificent
durbar held at the ancient capital of
ueini, queen victoria assumed the title
or empress or india. The
Wales, now Edward VII, ha
tour of the country just before that
event and the loyalty of the native
princes bad been attested in a thousand
ways. ,-. ,...- .T ...... '. .
Why atlve Frtmoes Are oyL
Indeed, the native nrlnces have everv
reason to be loyal to England. Under
the rule of . the company the English
had denied the right of a native prince
to adopt an heir, Thus, when a native
ruler died without leaving a son, his
state was aelsed by the company. Im
mediately after the crown took control
that policy was renounced. Now the
native states are prottcted by British
troops, are served by British railroads
