HONGKONG JOTTINGS,
I think it will be the impression of most people in Hongkong that the controversy en the subject of the administration of the Colony under cur late Governor has gone far enough. Sir Henry Blake has certainly administered a❘ knock ut blow in his letter to the Investors' Reviews, the paper to which Mr. Robert Showsn sent his letter which the Time refused to print in fall. Mr Shewan courted the blow, it must bo admitted, sau cauet compisin of the "brutal frankness" of his opponent. Surely the affair can be allowed to rest now? No good can be done by protracting the discussion in various papers where readers are not interested in it. There were many points which were open to criticism in Sir Henry Blake's administration; butneither Mr. Ireland nor Mr. Showan adopted the righ method of criticising, and both par- mitted themselves to make misstatements which seriously weakened their casos.
I will only mention one point in Mr. Shewan's letter to the Investors' Review in which he goes wrong. He speaks of Hongkong being governed by men at cut by the Colonial Office, bo know nothing of our wants and ways and fow of whom gepr seem to lauru-many of them Berely mediocre schoolboys, one day in charge of the Police Department and the not the Post Office, or Trougary, or Magistrany without any previous training for those important officer." "Nor is this to be wondered it," he continues, for to a great extent the Colonia service is supplied from the maks of those who eanout poes to higher examinations for the Consular and other bettor paid Civil Services. Now Mr. Shawan seems to be unaware that the Hongkong Civil Service is vooruited by padots who go through the same identical examination as the Indian Civilians, and that far from us getting men who "cannot pass the higher examinations" (which do not exist)"We have iu this Colony a on who were high up in the Indian list, including one placed seventh, if I am not mistaken. In any case the difference in marks even between the highest and lowest candidates in the Civil Service examination is too small to
pat them en different phones of intellect. In stigmatising our cadets as "mediocre school boys," while contrasting the other services with that of Hongkong, Mr., Shewan betrays a want of knowledge which is not permissible in a
