that a well-informed, man in conglant communication with the principal offix cials of the Colonial Office would be of far greater service to the Colony than one who lina to attend to the onerous duties of the House. It will be seen from an announcement muție sisewhere in this issue that a branch of the Im- perial Federation League, has been formed in Hongkong. We are glad to see that this step has been taken, and trast that it will help towards an ami- cable settloniant of a question which, as Mr Forster mys, is urgent. The absurd opinion that the dependencies of Great Britain are a burden, is now happily exploded, and the sooner the Empire is so bound together in fact as it is in feel- ing, the better will it be for the future of all who have a purt in that great in- heritance."
