SIR HENRY BLARE-IN CEYL
THE CLOSING SCENES 'OP AN
"ADMINISTRATION,
We were hoping most sincerely and caract ly, remarked the Ceylon Indipendent, in no aditorial on the 4th, ult., that the presÇDİ› YELİ- would be a period of peace after the political turmoil of the last few months. Sir Henry Blake came to a country contented, percélul "and" happy. in the cordial relations, which existed between tulers and roled, la twelve months he brought discredit on the public, administration of the country. He inaugurated a policy of government by racial proference He has denied equal rights to British subjects born in this country with those born in Europe, He has played foolishly into the bands of foreign financiers. Some part of his administra. tive mistakes can never be rectified and have gone beyond recall. Of such acts the epitaph may.be:-
"
"The Moving Finger writes; and having writ
Moves op: nor ail by Piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a word of it." But we hoped that he would devote the brief span of his administration now left to him, to the unravelling of that part of his administrative blunders and injustices over which he has control still. However, when we found that instead of looking his mistakes in the face and setting them right with the courage of a man lie began to defend and justify them, we were willing to speed the parting guest by refraining from further criticism. Criticism is one of the means by which men can be roused to do unwelcome dutles. In Sir Henry Blake's case it has failed. He has not had the courage to prevent injustice He has not courage to rectify the wrongs donc. [43 We determined to cease to appeal to him, but to wait for the coming of a just and courageous administrator ip the helm of affairs in this coun try. But we hoped at least one thing from Sir the remaining portion of his administration, Henry Blake and that is that he would, during observe the promises he has made to Ceylonese and refrain from adding to the monuments of injustice he has been building so industriously in this country. But even that hope is not be. ing fulfilled. On the 29th of November last H.E. spoke as follows in the Legislative Coun cil:
INCO EXCHANGE BANKS will Naccordance with Government Notification
be CLOSED for the Trarisaction of Public Buriness on WEDNESDAY, the 6th instant.

Then one day I read in the news- paper a case similar to mine having been cured, by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I decided to give these Pills a trial and bought some at once here in Bangkok. Before I had finished' the first bottle I felt much better. Headaches from which I was a frequent sufferer ceased. By the time I had finished, the second botie I could move my arm and legs and, could sit up! in bed. To make my story short, I want on taking Dr. Williams' Pink Fills until '1 found; myself completely cured, and now I am as) strong and hearty as I could wish.

We do not by any means say that all new appoint *ments should hereafter be given to Ceylonese. But they have a right to ask, when they have ability, experience and length of service, that they should not be passed over in favour of men, who, though favourites of the adminis tration, cannot by the atmost stretch of the im agination be considered to have such ability at to out-balance all that Ceylonese officers can show on the other side. H. E, is adding, by such appointments as these, to the heartless wrong and injustice he has done to Ceyloness during the last twelve months. Docs H. E. think that the official welcome he receiver in various parts of the country are proof that he is trusted?
