The point on which we chiefly join issue with our contemporary, however, is as to the legal skaters of the Chinese in this colony Wanro told that the Chinese merchants are in the smo "and traders "position precisely as the French and Ger- "DEUS."
That is a mistake altogether, will be seen in a moment if the proposition be reversed and made to read that the French and Germans are in the same position in this colony as the Chinese. Every one knows that that is not . The colony has on ita statute book na Onlinánce for the regulation of the Chinese population. There is no corresponding Ordinance for the regulation of the French and Germanis, We have likewise an official known as the Protector of Chineze.
We have no Protector of French and Germans. But the most important point of difference in a political sense, and the one that hee the most direct bearing on the present case, is that France and Germany, like every other recognised nation except China, are allowed to maintain Consuls in the clany, whereas with regard to China it is a settled principle of policy, au fir me this colony is concerned, that no Chiness Consal shall be allowed. It has on more than one occasion bean enggested that such an officer should be established-here, but the suggestion has always been strongly combatted by the Inpal Government and the entire community lias or these occasions lent ita support to the Government. The reason is plain. The fact of British sovereignty over the islaud is only imperfectly recognised by a large -proportion of the native population, who regard Hongkong as a little chip of the Chinese Empire where foreignors are by the
