short of a thorough reorganisation of the service there is small chance of effecting the much-needed retrenchment Parbage before the estimates are finally passed" the unofficial members may embody their visua about economy in a wogazate report. We think it is time to reconsider the status of this colour. Hongkong is ranked as a firet class colony, and it may be of first-class-im- portanos to the imperial authorities. Bat apart from imperial interests, it is rarely a medium-sized city, with a good frida and a few rich hangs, containing a little. more than 200,000 inhabitants, two-thirds of whom are poor coolies who do not earn £12 a year. It is both foolish and unjusk to rank such a place in the same catego as Ceylon, Queensland, Sapth Anatra Burmah, New Zealand or, even Mauritius and the Straits Settlements, and to give i hierarchy of officials on the same liberal
scale as is given to largo colonies. The Gor ernor of this little leland city, which is not big- ger than the capital of Queensland and ser tainly not richer, geta large sexlary as the Governor of all Queensland; and at the best is little more than a puppet in the hands. the permanent alarks of the Colonia Offion.
