| the Hon. Mr. Osmonus's argument that there should be no turning back from the work of purification began in 1903 rested on the necessity of making the conditions favourable to the health of the population, which means primarily, of course, the health of the labouring population. His picture of an empty and a raised city, with a CO., commerce departed never to return," was plainly a. picture of a city that had been rained by disease consequent on neglected sanitation. Thus so far, it will be seen the Hon. Mr. Osnouse's powerful plea bas been attacked for defects it does not contain. In going on to our own criticism, we have to admit at ones that the points we abject to are mere excrescences, that do not affect the spirit and tonour of his thesis. Its main principles we could not feel confident about upsetting, so

CENTENABY CELEBALTIONS.
The Italian Convent, which plays an im portant part in the spokal ecomony of Hongkong more particularly in the religione sad oduce tional side, may fairly claim o little attention at the present time when it is cele- brating the centenary of the founding of the Institution to which it belongs. The Canonian Bisters of Charity, though ons of the yongest of the many orders developed by the religious seal of the sons and daughters of the Roman atholic Church, is one of the most effective organisations that have emanated from Italy Its success, which has been so remarkable få Hongkong, is largely due to the fact that the devoted sisters, who give their life so an. confine their labours to religions spheres but grudgingly to the chase which they love, do not undertake the care of fonadilage and orphans and educate and train the young into inteligent 100 Institution owes its origin to the daughter

There is no ene, less tolerant than the hater of intolerance, and therain we seem to see illustrated the Hon.

Expansive com missions are not appointed to pay com- pliments to those who may luppen to deserve them. The Commission found that many things were wrong, and its business and duty was to point them out. Ir entering in his log book that all the forecastle hands were drunk and incapable, we would not expect the Captain to add, “but I have pleasure in recording the fact that the Chief Officer was sober." That is vars manch what the Hon. Mr. Genoaxe, and possibly the sober officers of the Department, seem to have heen expecting. The Hon.
