Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) THE VICEROY AND GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL (1895). This group of quiet, grave-looking gentlemen represents what is perhaps the strongest Executive Government in the world. Untrammelled, as is the British Government, by the necessity of perpetually trimming its sails to every breath and caprice of an ever-changing House of Commons, the Government of India can frame and pursue a constant policy from year to year. Aided by the most powerful and admirable Civil Service in the world, it can accomplish what the autocracy of Russia can never accomplish: it can learn the truth about the condition of those under its rule, and can effectually aid them. The Members of the Council appear in the following order trom left to right—Sir Antony P. MacDonnell; Sir Charles B. Pritchard; H.E. Gen. Sir George S. White, Commander-in-Chief in India; H.E, the Earl of Elgin, Governor-General and Viceroy; Sir Alexander E. Miller, Q.C.; Lieut.-General Sir Henry Brackenbury; and Sir James Westland.
