Moonshine for Bombay Consumption
The Calcutta correspondent of the Indu Prakash seems to be an adept in fitting his news to the likings of the1 clientele.
He has discovered that the old party and the new are united not against the Government but against the Mahomedans.
All are looking to the Government with a reverent expectation of justice from that immaculate source.
We do not know who this anti-Mahomedan and pro-Government Calcutta correspondent may be; but we hope the Bombay public will not be deceived by his inventions.
If there is one overmastering feeling in Bengal it is indignation 
with the Government for allowing or countenancing the outrages in the Eastern districts.
Even the Loyalist organs are full of expressions of uneasiness and perturbed wonder at the inaction of the authorities while Moderate organs like the Bengalee and Moderate leaders like Babu Surendranath Banerji have expressed plainly an adverse view of the action and spirit of the Government.
There is no doubt considerable resentment against men like Nawab Salimullah for fomenting the disturbances; but there is no deep-seated resentment against the low-class Mahomedans who are merely the tools of men who themselves keep safely under cover.
The fight is not a fight between Hindus and Mahomedans but between the bureaucrats and Swadeshists.
