THE NECESSITY OF CONSTRUCT. | REDUCTION IN CABLE CHARGES

No matter how fine the weather may have previously been or how little prospect of rain, let the Command ant issue an order for a general parade and down it comes as if some modern Noah had built or chartered an ark in which to escape a second deluge. I see by the papers that an ingenious American has invented an apparatus for bringing down
a shower of rain whenever it is wanted However
useful the machine may be in other paits of the world it is quite unnecessary here; the Commandant dan cause rain to fall both on the just and the unjust by a simple order,
One of the most interesting events of the spring season during the past eight years has been the annual flower show. Owing to the absence of the lady who has acted as honorary secretary, and the unfavourable weather we have been having it was feared that we should be deprived of the pleasure this year. The matter has at length been taken in hand by a committee of ladies, and the show will take place on the 21st and 22nd

So far, our Government rates was sure to come about with competition heavy downpours of rain, strong winds and thick have taken measures to protect the Empire by no one eyer questioned: but it was generally foga. But perhaps the phenomenon may be Accounted for by the circumstance that the increasing the Navy with men-of-war purchased supposed that a reduced scris of charges could or contracted for abroad. Yet, when we see by be arrived at by i the competing companies, and number of ships that the same would be published at no distant has been increased, we cannot help but date for the edification and to the advantage. feel sorry that most of them have been of the general public. Telegraph Companies purchased in foreign countries and not are public companies, and as such have no constructed in Japan. It is true that the right to quate lower rates to one section vessels of the present day differ in construction their supporters than to another: in fact from those of the olden time, in so far as strength such an action amounts to a serious breach of and the complicated manner of building them faith with the public (on whose support alone are concerned. The ships of to-day look like they live, and move, and have their being) and strong castles provided with wings by which the only way for the public to retort and punish they are enabled to fly across the ocean at such conduct is to withdraw their custom, if they pleasure. One of the most remarkable leatures can?

This is the best answer the pro-Danish supporters could give, and would look well at first sight, but the sequel to it proves that there is nothing it all, in it. That the majority of merchants will send messages by the shortest and cheapest route when guar- anteed by a company like the Eastern Extension, even though the message passes over 4,000 li whatever. Is it any worse for messages to pass over 4,000 of Chinese line guaranteed by an English Company, than to pass along 21,000 / of Russian land lines guaranteed by a Danish Company? We leave this question for the public to decide.-Shanghai Mercury.

The Spring Regatta of the Rowing Club will be held on Saturday. There are a fair number of entries and a pleasant day's sport is anti- cipated. It is to be hoped that the weather will be more favourable than it was last year when it rained as if it had never rained before. A land and water, and an all-comers' race had to be abandoned; the former, because there was BC much water and so little land that it would have been rough on the competitors, and the latter became the all-comers never came. With the exception of those who had entered for the several events not a soul turned up at the boat-house, save the representatives of the press.

His Highness the Maharajah of Johore arrived by the last French mall steamer and left here yesterday for Kobe by the steamship Ganked During his stay in the Settlement, Maru beyond exchanges of visits between himself and the foreign consuls, no particular notice was taken of him. Neither do I know why there should have been, notwithstanding the compll ments that were paid him in Hongkong by the military and civil service officials and the gro- velling flunkeyim of one of your local con- temporaries. I was very glad to see that you lavished no gush on bim. He is immensely popular in the Straits, and so might you or I be
Yet shall we be content to be always depen- dent on foreign assistance? Ship-builders in our country are likely to lose for ever the oppor tunity of acquiring skill in their art, and it may, possibly happen that in the 50th year of Meiji they will find that they have not made the slight est progress, or in other words, they may not show any improvment on the work they turned out in the

year of Meiji (1883), Therefore in spite of the obstacles that are at present thrown in our way, the shipbuilding in dustry ought to be stimulated to such an extent that all vesicle, no matter how many, that hoist the flag of the Rising Sun-be they large or The requisites for ship-building are iron and timber. Our people in the old days found iron in the interior and thought there was an abundance ofit, but now experience has shown that it does not exist in such quantities as was supposed. The Kamaishi mine in Rikuchiu was supposed to bean inexhaustible store, sufficient to supply the wants of the people through all generations, no matter how much they might increase as

To our great disappointment, however, the mine has been abandoned, as the out-turn does not pay for the labour; and consequently a rail. way extending for many miles, stands conspicu ously on the mountain side as a monument show. ing that millions of yen have been fruitlessly spent for the exploitation of the mine.

Indeed, to view this scene is enough to excite the deepest sorrow in the minds of our fellow countrymen. As, however, Kamaishi is not likely to be the only place in the eighty provinces where iron is to be found, it is possible that later

a great way towards winning the goodwill of many of our countrymen and the ruler of Johore acts accordingly and keeps open house at Tyersall and Johore Bahru. Firm friend and ally of Great Britain he may be, because it suits his interest to be so; but that does not alter the fact of his being a usurper, Johore is his by succession, though it does not do to enquire too closely as to how his ancestors ac quired possession of the territory. But Muar by every right, both human and divine, belongs to another. How in 1877 General Anson, then Administrator of the Straits Government, most unjustly deprived Tunku Alum, the rightful heir to the Sultanate of Muar, of his birth-right and made a present of it to the Maharajah, how the arrangement," as it was euphemistically called, was mildly praised by one Colonial Secretary of State and flatly condemned by another, though either would not or could not alter it, how the unrighteous act excited the strongest indignation amongst the people of Malaydom and the Straits community generally are now matters of history.
