Right. When Jassise reigns - With Graciousness
The Heswozu rejclos And takene gåve In timely showe And gentle winds.
Thəndirea was presented by the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS, who said-My dear friends and Mr. and Mrs. Lechler, it devolves ou me to say a word or two on the occasion of presenting this
Left. addrem, which a tow of your many friends have When Love is klered thought it right to propare and hand to you onth Comity the orcasion of your laving China for a short earth is glad And prospect has time. It dovolves en me I suppose as the oldest gala dings of these friends prent. We regret the ab- and joyful pesos,
a for high functionaries and the granting of the aubvention which will be newessary for some years to come to balange the receipts and ex- penditure. The administration, therefore, will be. entirely located in Aanam and Tonquin, sad the control only will be reserved to the Motropolis. The responsibility of the Rosklent-General will be considerabla, and on his ability will depend in great measure the monens of this laborions enterprise.
The administrative system provided for the Protoctorate it of the least complicated charan- ter. It conforms, moreover, to the treaties which have been conalnded with the Court of Hus.
It is intended to utilise the organisation, re- |latively perfect, which exists in the Annamite kingdom, sad to employ it in the sense of our ideas and the progress which we wish to see re- alised to these countries. The Resident-Ge- neral, therefore, should use all his efforts to im- part a docizive impulsion at the head quarters of the Government, at Hué, and then ascertain, by the aid of his various agents où the spot, the effect of this impulsion in the provinces.""It doss not appear doubtful that by this means the administrative machinery of the Protectorate may be redaond to stall proportious and will re- quire only a small number of European taso- tionaries.
I would add that, according to my views, the only service on which the Resident General [ought at first toexercise a direct sotion--becaus ins yet they exist only in a rudimentary state- are the ousters and public works. These are the noccesary instrumenta of our commercial de- zelopment, and we cannot wait for their being elaborated from Annamito initiative. These services require a unity of direction and a hat- mony of views which can only come from the Metropolis.
Hereafter, in proportion as our authority bo- comes established and the infaenon of our civilian- tion penetrates more completely the country Placed under que tutelage, we will here to et tend our action to a certain number of branokos, orch as the administration of justion, education, taxation, sta; bat progress in these directions ought to be effected gradually without disturbing or clashing with the manrams of the populations
