A Moral.

THE moral of the story, for our purpose, is obvious. In England even the Premier is not above making a mistake, and when he does make it, he does not think it inconsistent with his dignity to rectify it. In India even the junior most officer of Government thinks and is encouraged by the extremist Anglo-Indian Press to think that he is infallible, that like the King he can do no wrong, and that even if he did wrong it could never be his duty to acknowledge it. The heavens would fall if he did, and the prestige of the mighty British Raj would be gone. Absurdity could not further go.
