When the Straits succeeded in getting their contribution fixed at 173 per cent. of revenue, of a fized rum, that principle was extended to Hongkong, on the assumption that the circumstancUS WOTO fairly alike. But ground for complaint was at once discovered a tha iact that Hongkong had no Municipal Council, so that 173 per cent. on its revenue represented a larger proportionate sum than 17 por nt. on the revenue of the Stmits Settlomenta fro which the municipal element bas beon eliminated. There is plausibility in the intention, but it is it the fuss that has been made. The fact is that i the cases not practically parallel, for the simple reason that, if you eliminace the municipi element from the Hongkong Budget, there is very little left. There remains to the Straits Govertiment a ra- renue of $4,000,000: 17) par rent, on which gives $700,000. What would remain to Hongkong is a problem, as well as what would remain for the Government to do.

The principle involved in the question of Light Dues is of more important stope. Mr Whitehead's
preliminary grievance about the Governor's iniquity in consulting the Unofficial members beforehand, seema to us one that could only occur to a mind i in which the bacillus of grievance finds con- gonint soil. We have always imagined that one of the functions of Parla.ontsty Whips was to keep the Government in touch with the opuliens of mombara un questions as they arise. Having no Whips, and desiring to know what the Unofficials thought on a portain point, Sir William Robincon asked their opinion, and so en sured that when it aroad in the Council it should have been thought out and a opinion formed, instead of being newly- sprung and decided in a crude debate.
