The officials claim, as we understand, that they can run the colony better without unofficial Essistance or advice, whereas the community is of opinion that unofficial assistance and advice--inofficial control, in short would lead to a great in provoment in the management of the Affairs of the colony. Officials are called public servants and they ought to be so in fact as well as in game, not in the monial eause of the term "servant," but in the same WINES AND SPIRIT'S. are as doctors, lawyers, architects, and other professional men nro the servants of their clients in so far na they give them their services. When a man wants to build house be engages su architect to propare the plans, but it is he himself who has to do termine what kind of a house he wants and what he can afford to spend upon it. So when & gan goce to a lawyer to have his will prepared, be himself decides what the character of the will is to bo, tha lawyer supplying the technical skill required to draft it and at the same time offering any advice and pointing out any difficulties that may occur to him.A doctor, likewise, bas to leave it to his patient or his patient's friends to say whether a dan- gerous operation shall be carried out dr not. So in municipal life it ought to be the public, through their properly elected representatives, that ought to have the final decision upon all questions of policy. Fablic officers must be engaged possessing, in the higher grades, knowledge and ability to enable them to advise the Board under which they work as to what is required and as to the meats by which it can best be carried out, but it is for the Board, not the officials, to decido. Professional bias is a dangerous factor, to be alituinated as far as possible in the management of public affairs. Take education for instance; if the determination of the educational polior of England were left solely and entirely to the scholactie profession the country would soon be stand- ing aghast at the results, yet, other things. being equal, a schoolmaster ought to know more about education than one who has rever been engaged in teaching In the. same way it would be unsafe to leave medical legislation entirely in the hands of doctors, or building legislation entirely in the hands of architeots, and, as regards legislation in general, it is notorious that lawyers make but indifferent legislatie tors. But in no class does professional bins prevail more extensively than in the civil service of a Crown colony like Hong- kong, and for the correction of that bins the introduction of the unofficial element in the management of the affairs of the colony.is essential.
