The papers of Friday announce that Mr. Sinha, the legal
member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, has resigned on the ground that he wishes to practise again at the Calcutta Bar. The suspicion naturally arises that the reason he gives is only superficially true. There must be something more behind the abandonment of the highest position ever reached by a native Indian. We never believed in the wisdom of such an appointment, and if the natives themselves are not pleased by it and press their representative to resign, the slight arguments in its favour fall to the ground.
