THE STATE OF INDIA.

A Live Volcano.

When Sir George Sydenham Clark, the Governor of Bombay, declared the other d-y that "the Government of India is confronted by a deliberate- organisation for purposes of murder," he stated rib more than the trutfi. The latest news from India . amply confirms what he says,, and indicates that' strong -measures',, will' have to be taken by the Government 'tcr-j cope with tbe fanatics who are making life m the country intolerable. In tho j eyes of the ; Bengalese the weakness of the Government, m allowing unchecked tor., years ,the puMcation of direct INCITEMENTS TO REVOLUTION an*l to murder has brought about the present trouble. It is a grave crisis, and can only be met by the' most: rigorous, measures. -One of these incendiary appeals says : — ' 'The handful of police and soldiers will never he able to withstand this ocean of revolutionists. These prisoners may die, but thousands of other Ullaskars and Barindrps will spririg into existence. Don't be afraid ! With the blood of heroes the soil of Hindustan is ever fertile. Don't be bioken-'hearted. There is no dearth of heroes ;, there is no dearth of money. awa:its you ! A single frown (a few bombs) from your eyes have struck' terror mto the hearts of the foe! The* uproar of panic has filled the sky ! The fire you have lit will never be quenched; the whole . of India will fan the FIRE INTO BRIGHTER FLAMES ! They will try to prove the prisoners mad, and put them m a lunatic asylum for' ever. Otherwise British prestige will be destroyed m Europe and America. Air ready the newspapers; of Germany ana America are stating that the British Raj is about to terminate. As. tbe plot, may hinder British trade, the revolution will be talked of lightly m England, and the whole plot will he made to appear a lunatic's affair."
