The taxpayers of Hongkong have no object in reforming the alien hordes of Canton, who come down here as birds of prey andappear inourcrimal.courts as pirates, fire-raisers, gamblers, petty pilferers, pimps, Icaders | in human flesh, oplum runners, etc., etc. If the laws of the colony are infringed, retribution swiftly follows in accordance with British, not Chinese, ideas of justice. Convicted prisoners are confined and kept to hard labour on the lowest possible diet as a punishment and to prevent them from carrying out their unlawful depredations on the community. Any attempt to reform the type of Chinese criminals so common in our midst may be very safely put down as the Utopian notion of an idle dreamer.

There are, of course, exceptions to this general rule, but these are few and far between. It may happen occasionally that sound reasons exist why a competent writer on a certain special subject should remain incognito, hut such occasions are exceedingly rare, and it may be advariced as a sound proposition that the views on matters of public interest of any person who has not the moral courage to accept the responsibility of appending his own name to his statements of fact and expressions of opinion are absolutely worthless. Editors freely invite contributions from outsiders on matters of public interest, and frequently publish letters from correspondents who eternal silence, confining each one in a carefully preserve their identity; but it is separate cell, and in flogging them nevertheless a thoroughly recognised fact severely for
