When the subject of representation was first mooted we strongly urged its advisability to Hongkong, as by it a means would be afforded for bringing for ward grievances more forcibly than could be done from a colony itself. The desirability of such an institution was long felt, and now that it is an accomplished fact the advantages will soon be apparent. Infect, they have already manifested themselves, and the energy
with which the most important grievances liave been taken and questions assed in the House will show our friends in the Far East that there are at home here many influential persons willing to protest the colonies and lock after their interests. The British and Colonial Union has taken another step forward, and in drawing attention to the commercial treaties with foreign countries by which colonial interests are affected points out another matter in which colonial views ought to be obtained, so that when such treaties are being. considered local knowledge can be available for the purpose of assisting the Government in their negotiations, and for protecting the tradeofthedis- tant possessions of the Empire.
