betimony on the correctnery of which I can“ hardly with propriety offer an opinion—I thing that the English official has something to lam. in his trestmont of men of his own colour who approach him in his offelal capacity. In Mo- lays as much best done by Origatais that the achievements of the white man look very small indeed. Honghly speaking, the Chinaman has eapplied, the revenues, and the Government, under the direction of British oflivery, has liki the money out und made the ecuntry, what it 18. Of private European enterprise, except in planting and a few mines, thure has been prastically none. I think there would hare been more if further, encouragement had bean offered, but one British, officials appear to acquiro, in the course of their ervice, a habit of looking with suspicion on all their own countrymen who karo any official deat ings with them. It seeme remarkable that it should be so, but almost anyone can boar oat my statement, and think everyone who bas influence should use it to discourage an attitude which, if assumed by a senior officer, will very soon bo imitated by his juniors. I have never been able to sympathise with this. frame of mind myself, because I have, I at glud to say, in somewhat long experience, novor sown anything to justify it. Ten men may ask Government oficial for something, under- taking on their part something in return. Nine may full their promises and the tanth kway fail,
Because of that que failure, cr even if the proportion were higher, not a sulfivioht reason for the offcial to regard all futuro oomers kuntrat worthy. I don't think anyone who knows my ofboial Efe will accuse me of went of sympathy for the native. I have been trying to tell you how, absolutely necessary I think it is for the successful government of natives; hat those to whom the administration is en - trustad must not ignore Baropaanu Govern

I trust I shalt not bo `understood as advocating extravagance or.care- lasers for the interrata entrusted to us; bub between dug cantion and restrictions which mɛko profitable enterprise almost impossible, there appoins to to to lie the whote urt of succosefal government. It would perhaps seem absurd to remind Government officers that tiny have not inherited their positions, nor do they hold them for their org benefit or for the indulgence of any personal caprice. Beyond the preservation of place and the protection of life and property, to which I do not refer, the official is there to upon the country by great works: roads, rail- ways, telegraphs, wharves; he is there to encourage capital, and, to do everything in his pewer to make, the lives of the prople of all classes and nationalītim safe, pleasant, aud profitable. The climate of the Maky Penin- sala, expecially to those who must go out of their house and work in it, is not by any morns a good one for Europeans. It is lot, damp, and enervating; full of walaris, and those who live there as constantly exposed all the diseases common to the troples With proper ours, of course,, most yf the risk may be avoided, but caroful prevention is a necessity. Now, with those attractions on the one hand and Africa on the other, is it likely that any rich, able, energotic Englishman wili hurry to the Malay Poulusule to invest his capital and devote his nergies, to a life in that distant and unknown region.) If, how ever, he does go there, if he fa willing to take:: all the risks, what do you suppose it is for?

It is a curious fact that, so far as I know, Crown colonios bardly over produce ready-rich colonists, while ilie ccnstitutionally governed colonies can tell then by hundreds and thousands.
