We entreat our beloved Viceroy still to substantiate himself superiorly to race- prejudice and colour-blindness, and to allow the flower of this now OUR Civil Service all the full pays and allowances granted to his more fortunate brethren. 'When does this man take over charge? I'm alone just now, and I gather that I'm to stand fast under him.
