What might seem more surprising, if we had not sufficiently notorious evidence of French incapacity for colonisation, is the failure, so far, to remedy in any appreciable degree the disorder then prevailing. The recent capture of Messrs. Roque and Costa, and their detention in the highlands pending heavy ransom, constitute a ZETLAND bitter satire on the complaints of brigandage which the French put forward to justify their invasion. Eighteen years have passed since Dupuis succeeded to route, and eight more since Rivière undertook, with an inadequate force, to suppress the brigandage which was alleged to constitute the sole impediment to the develop. ment of a prosperous trade. It was the Black Flags who were the origin of all evil; and if the native authority could not control them, the French would! Well, the Black Flags have

the French hold on the country has been streng.T thened; it has been possible to reduce army of occupation, and to reduce consequ. ently, in a small degree, the charge entailed on the Home Budget. It is probable, that further reductions might be effected, if the unfortunate antagonisms hetween the civil and military authorities could be allayed, and the two could be induced to consider disinterestedly the real necessities of the situation. For the position. in a military sense, is very much like our own in Egypt. The Tonquinese themselves seem as peaceable and industrious as the Egyptian fellabs. The trouble is with turbulent borderers

It is, however, the civil rather than the mili- tary administration that is most obnoxious to criticism. Growing prosperity and advancing civilisation are the best remedies for the social and political disorders that usually have their root in social distress. But the deliberate selfishness of the French administration binders the recovery which might otherwise be antici pated.

But whereas the com- 667] petition of the inn next door, owned by a rival brewer, prevents any increase of price to the customer; there is no such safeguard in Tonquin.. The people don't want the dear, if excellent, goods of Royen; they want the cheap products of Manchester. But France says no you exist for our benefit, and you shall buy from Rouen or not at all. And, by the imposition of prohibitive duties, she is able of course to practically accomplish her purpose. It is to no purpose that her representatives in Indo-China, official and commercial alike, point out the evil effect of the policy. What she primarily wants is not to develop Tonquin, but to sell certain French products; and, instead of accomplishing this by adapting the products to the market, she tries to do it by an artificial adaptation of the market to the products.
