practically admitted that there was something in the arguments for delay. The passing of the Bill,' he said, will not compel the Crown. Agents to raise the loan at once, but it will enable them to promptly seize the right moment to raise it and in the. meanwhile to obtain temporary, BCCU modation on most fasoarable terms, if for any reason it should be found desirable to defer issuing the loan." This answer was unquestionably the best that could be given; but what dnes it amount to? Is simply means that any advice which such practical and experienced men as Mr Chater, Mr Whitehead and Mr Belilios can give in regard to a matter of this kind is useless, us the whole thing must be placed in the baude of the Crown Agtats, who must. be left to deal with it as they think best, whether the colony likes it or not, If the rest of the discussion showed unmistakably the official disregard for the views of unofficial members with -rospect
to which they are fully competent to a question ов
speak, the very ludicrous observations on the meaning of the wond par made by the Governor, the Colonial Secretory and the Colonial Treasurer afforded equally convincing proof of want of capacity on the official side for dealing with the question at issue.
As to whether a loan should be rais- ed at all, the anofficial members, with be exception of Mr Helilios, acquiesce in the view taken by the Goverment The differences of opiaion arise on the questions as to how and when the loan should be raised, and as to these sucre is no united apposition to the Go- vernment. In regard to one item in the list o pallic works exraordinary for the carrying out of which the loan is to be obtained, the unofficial mém- bers, we are glad to see, signified uo- animous disapproval The item in question is the proposed expenditure on gual extension, amounting to $150,000. this, es we painted out sums time would be simply a scandalous waste of money, and the unullicial members would elamally fail in their duty to the community if they did not oppose it. to the uttermost To Colonial Secre tary expressed himself as extretasly pleased that Dr Ho Kai kad abstained from voting on the send reading of the Loan Bill, regarding this very important in view of the fact that the Chinese, whom Dr Bu Kai represents, pay about two- thirds of the whole rates and taxes of the colony. The Colonial Secretary's assumption was, of course, that the Chinese ecmanity are not opposed to Crystallind FRUITS, MUSCATELS |the loan. We believe that assumption
to be perfectly correct. We hope, how ever, that the Colonial Secretary, whether it is equally pleasing to him or der, will regard it as equally import But that the representative of the Chiarse moved that the item uf 150,000 for extension and improve- of meat of the gaol' be struck out of the list of public works extraordinary in the schedule of the Bill. And we trust that the importance of that motion slot be diminished to be Colonial
