and above this consideration, it must also be borne in mind that labour in tuis
Colony is ruled by the Triad Somaties; while it must not be forgotten that the members of these powerful bodies have. unfortunately arrived at the conclusion that the Government of Hongkong is an institution that inspires on dread, ag it seldom, if ever, chooses to exercise its power. To deal in a vigorous and ef fective manner with those Secret Spaie- ties may soon become an imperative duty with the local Government, when a decided change of opinion may be effected in their incorrect estimate of the Colonial Bathorities. But in the meantime, no stronger reason could possibly be ad- vanced for making the recent disturb ances a ground for the entire suppres- sion of processions than this, that the classes who engage in such deraonstra tions are those who are more imme- diately under the influence of the pernicious secret associations here aliud. de to.
