The
the Prime Minister, Archbishop very properly, as it seems to a.
proposed procession. refused to sat on a mere private intimation in regard to a momentous publis" matter. Bc. Asquith, altogether anaceantably replied that his communication was confidential and must not be published. The Archbishop, with oom plele propriety and force, painted out the gravity of the step which he was invited to tako. He insisted, too, that, if a change ware carried out at that iste hoor, the request to make it must be publishe. Later he tslegra phed to the Prime Minister:-"I have decided to abandon ceremonist of which you question legality, provided that you authoriza met to siste publicly that I
do eo at your request," Only on Saturday morning came the opinion of the Government that it would be better in the intereste of order and good feeling that the proposed ceremonial, the legality of which is open to question, should at take place.". Again asting, as it seems to with thot and good sense,
the Archbishop announced that he and those responsible for the procession intended to conform to the Govera mont's decision, and that "all elements of ecclesiastial ceremonial shall be eliminated from the procession. Cardinals and Bishops will walk in fall Court dress of thofe respectivo ranks" s promise which was yesterday faithfully oarried on!.
In judging of this correspondence and the tardy decision of the Government, some thing may turn on the information, if any, which they had as to the danger of disturbance
It had been understood that the Home Secretary and the Commissioner of Polios were not apprehensive of any macious Whatner trouble, and had given their assen“. information had come into the possession of the Government? If there was none, the infor- vention at the twelfth hour was a srade mistake; and, if there were grounds for spprehension, why were they not known and acted upon lang before The arrangements have been long knowo, and many distinguished strangers bave come to take part in the ceremonial. Those who arranged it have been in communication with the Home Secretary for some time, and were led to believe that no objection would be raised by the Government. Obviously they ought to have interfered earlier, or not a all. To be silent, and, indeed, so far as the Home Office is concerned, to appear to approve, while the preparations were for wooks being openly made, and to intervene when they gives Arahbishop Boarde and his friends just were completed and about to be carried out
publish, is, indeed, se to most points, unsbewor cause of complaint. Ha letter, wish we bla. Theraw only one possible error in regard to the matter, and the Government hare committed it. If they were convinced of the illegality of the programma and the danger attending it, it was manifestly their duty toy s and to take upon themselves the responsi-: bility of stopping it. They do not chaose that course; they throw upon others the responsi bility of doing so, and shirk what, if there was danger, was their plain daty. Why, too, attempt to etipulate for secrecy? Why were the Gorera ment desirous that their action in the matter should not be kubwa ? The immincase of the Newcastle election explains nob, but not thin factlessness and tardiness of the intervention, Wos ill adhere to the opinion expressed on Fri- day, that the original decision the Roman Catholic authorities to disregard the statutory law of the realm was injudicious and a mistake, a mistake not the less serious by reason of the invitation to many foreigners to take part unwittingly in as illegal act, But this error is overshadowed by the blunder on the part of the Government who have put in the right thos who were technically in the wrong. It in of some public consequence that the Hom Secretary, whose own letter to the Archbishop ia wosk in the extrama, has either been unceremoniously thrown over by the Prime Minister, or, Las unaccountably changed his mind. But it is of much more moment that in regard to a matter ne to which there was so show courtesy and toleration, bad fooling, or the possibility of it should be left.

EUROPEAN PRESTIGE IN INDIA.
The Calcutta Englishman says:- The ernal murder of Miss Taylor in a railway marriage is yet another indication of the epa- temptin which Europeau lita is now held in this country. Robbery, it appears, was the motive of the crime, and it may be admitted that petty railway thefts have always been numerous and daring on Indian lines, but it is a new and sinister development that the thieves should on longer hesitate to use kalves. The murder of Inspector Crabbs on the Assam-Baugal Railway will not be forgotten, not to mention other rsonat warders and asssule upon Earopeans the primary motives of which have been personal rather than politics. And yet it is not going too far to ssy
