Lord Minto, in his capacity of vice | roy of India, is about to revive. the ! | office: of commissioner of the press a | Caleutta, which was created by th | late Lord Lytton in 1877, with a salary | [of 30,000 a year, and suppressed on | | the score of ill-advised rcontmy four | | years afterwards, according to a story | | from th oe rquise de Fontenoy. | Lord 'Lytton's aim in ealling this | | office into life was to furnish the native press with constant, timely | and accurate information in order to | mininize its ignorant 'and uninstruet- ed 'erticismn of the Government. and of the latter's measures. The press commissioner was, as long | lie lasted, the recognized inter- | meligry between the Government and the press, the editors being informed | that he was authorized to address | them on behalf of the Government and also to receive any reply to all | eniquities and complaints. Sinee the suppression of the com- nussionership, the native editor has i. been placed in a pogition of muehn | difficulty, and hag suffered from many digghbilities. Ravely possessed of any personal acqnaintance with the high officials | of the land, he has been ignorant of | the real opinions and of the, modes of thought of the ruling class. If a ru- i mor reached him there has been ab- { solutaly ne. means by which he could | assure himseli of its truth or falsity. If he misunderstood or misinterpret | ed the meaning or motive of any pub- i lic measure there has been no one to give him even a hint of his mistake, nr from whom he could derive the slightest aid to a better understand- ing For in India there is no Parliament | from the debates of whieh he might | loarn some of the curious bearings of { publie "questions, no right of 'inter- pellation, from which to obtain even the shadowy outline of truth regard- ig a tact or measure, Since the days of Lord Lytton, the | as organs of the native press have enor- |Amprovements and thus pictured to mously increased in number through- out India, and at their doors lies the principal native unrest and discon- tent Jord Minto and his advisers at Cal- cutta have come to the conelusion that while some of the antagonism of tiie vernacular press of India is attri- butable to race hatred and to sedition, 2 still greater part of it may ba aserib- ul to ignorance, which a revival of the effice of press commissioner will be calculated to dispel. , GIRL COLONISTS. Servants and Wives For Australia Sail From Lendon. A short time ago about 50 servant girls left. London on. the steamship Sydney and other parts of Australia. Every month nearly 100 young wo- men leave England for New South Wales, "bzing assisted for 'their pas- sages by the Government; but, apart «from these parties, many others leave ' England for happier lives in Austra- { lia. There are many reasons why | New South Wales proves so attractive | to these strong and healthy British | lasses. The first is undoubtedly that, | owing to the greater number of males | distinetly good. Secondly, there is a dearth of domestic servants, and sub- | stantial wages are offered. It is stat- ed at the agent-general's office the conditions of life for servant girls in South Wales are much easier. | Less restriction i imposed on them; they have 'considerably more liberty | than in England, and are much better treated. Then, again, they are paid higher wages An ordinary general and much at $4.25, in addition to board and lodg- ing. Cooks get in hotels from $5 to $6.26 a week, and in private houses from $3.70 to $5, cook-laundresses earn from $3.76 to $5 weekly, and ! laundresses received $4.25 to $5. Not infrequently thesd girls receive pr posals of marriage from young farm- of 'gaod pesition. snd the life- | story of many a British servant girl who has ventured out to Australia were told, 'a ro- | mantic wiion which has led to fame | or prosperity. The passage costs them only $15, and geunesally situations are found for them as soon as they arrive. In some cases as ors Has Hopes For" Montreal.
