As the Chinn Association pointed out, in their able letter to Lord Knuts. ford, "there is no privilege of which the Colonics are more jealous than that of self-taxation;" and though it is admitted that the Government may wisely reserve to itself, in respect of Crown Colonles, a right of dictation that would be Inad- missible elsewhere, grave discontent would cer tainly be excited by any evidence of a tendency to carry that power to the point of exscilog con- tributions without, or against, the consent of the Colonial Councils,"
It is more than likely that, if the unofficial members were allowed a freer band, economies might be effected in other directions that would go far to relieve the Colonial Budget of the additional burden which has been thus imposed. It is freely urged, for instance, by those who hold with Sir John Hennessy that our coalleg stations

HONGKONG AND ITS NEW

If there is anything in a name, Hongkong may see reason to congratulate itself on the appointment of Sir William Robinson to the Governanhips for Sir Hercules la traditionally regarded as one of the ablest men who have presided over the fortunes of the colony. Much depends, in a Crown Colony, on the personally

The good work of Sir Richard Ma donell, for instance, still survives, while the barn done by Sir John Hennessy has scarcely died out and the memory of the former la stil held in respect, while the very name of the latter excites imitation in the mind of every out concerned. Sir William Des Voeux will leavÉ behind him a rather mixed traditions for though his last months of office have been clouded by'a
