worthy and loyal Harbour Mastor, who ap poars to regard such persistent unofficial opposition as amounting to "pure cussed- nes, if not downright disloyalty. This peculiar mode of looking at conscientious, consistent opposition may be a product of the unconscionable lack of conscience which is demanded by the Colonial Office from the official members. Be this as it may, the worthy Harbour Master may rest on- surad that a much greater proportion of the demand because of this 194 per cent. charge on the Colony's revenue will be 'binding" apon the unofficial than the fiai members. But there is no inconsistency in doclaring by vote that an item of expenditure is un- fair, even although an ordinance has been passed to make it a legal iapest. There is nothing in the ordinance which says the Military Contribution is an eminently fair tax, and fortunately there is no objection by any one, save the Harbour Master, to reitoraling the statement that it is unfair. We are not forgetful of the remarks of the } Attorney General; but he merely pleaded for consistency. From the official point of view. 'It would be most absurd and in. consistent,' he said, 'having passed that ordinance, to say that we would not The that money. Quite so.. vote official majority passed the ordinance, and it would have been most absurd and inconsistent if they had not voted the money,-far more reasons than one. They would have bad to pack up.' and go, if they had not voted in that way. Certain ly, there is no reason to give up hope, evon after the passing of an ordinance fixing 175 per cent; for we hare known of ordin ances being repealed in previous cases We have now, as will he seen by the brief but clear explanation given by the Colonial Treasurer, tá speak of our payments for military purposes as Military Expendi ture, instead of Military Contribution. The Military Expenditure now includes the annual Contribution (17 por cont.), Barracks, etc., and Volunteer grant; and the total moona for last year a call of 194 per cent. on our revenue.
