Besides, It would be a distinct feather in your cap to get these buildings safely down, and then point with the finger of pride and say "Here at any rate is one place where we worked without killing somebody. Here is one building under our supervision, which did not fall. Here is at least one of our houses that never collapsed." Think what a proud firm you could be then! All the ignominy of the City Hall, the Hongkong and Shanghal Bank, the Hotel, and the other works ofyour firm which tumbled aboutyourears, would be wiped out, and at isat-at isat 1, you could truly say you bad had one place that did not collapse" The Only One!".
But you will need to hurry up. You promised Mr. Wise that you would have the whole block no shilly-shallying, those were the very words the whole block taken down carefully and quickly. Now it is the middle of the month, and still the whole block is occupied by poor foolish Chinese coppersmiths and washermen❘ and heedless tollers of all sorts, whom you have: not yet expelled. As you said to Mr. Wise, "One part having fallen, there is no reason why the rest should not." Yet now, all that you are doing seems to bę to pull down some fragments of ruins from Nos. 57 and 59, leaving 35 and 6: entirely unsupported. We would suggest that you hasten to fulfil the promise and pull down "the whole block,"

That is a question to which, Il rumour be correct, the President of the Marine Officers' Association will give an interesting reply some dime during the current month.

Now in this matter of falling houses, we would suggest or would like some Angust Personage to put it to you that when people are killed in this way, somebody ought to be banged or locked up to prevent further mischief; and that if the law docs not make anybody responsible, it ought to do so, and should be altered. Further, we would be exceedingly pleased if the Officiais could be induced to try and work with the Unofficials, instead of taking every opportunity of working against them.
After all, though, it matters little. It is too late, The blow has fallen, and the tottering- houses are but typical of the Colony. Foolishly constituted at first, the collapse of 1888 and 1889 weakened it utmost to the point of utter ruin, and now just as the extra weight of bricks 'piled' on the roof brought down those houses so the beavy. top weights of the Military Monstrosity and the Optum Octopus are bound to be just as fatal to the Colony. It matters little how the Council works; there are the factors of destruction, and the premonitory crashes of individuals this year are not without meaning.

STAGNATION OF TRADE. TO THE EDITOR CF eur "Livurigol, and Southport

SIRI notice from the newspapers, both domestic and foreign there comes a deep wall of" stagnation of trade" and that all nations, including American, Continental, and our own, are appealing to their respective Governments for protection, which means against their neigh bours Industry. And strange to say, in these pathetic appeals for relief, I find no solution given to the problem of this dire distress in trade, excepting that cach nation considers the others are stealing a march upon it.
Now, sir, in my humble opinion, the whole cause of this unprofitable trade lies in a nut-shell, That is, the national increase of population or consumptive power, cannot keep pace with the production frem mechanical inventions to sup piant so much human labour. Sa long as Eng land enjoyed

"Against this aggressive activity and gradual encroachment Siam has been able to do Kitle more than protest, being, from her peculiar difficulties, incapable of making the least resistance.

The few thousand disciplined Siamese that compose her only means of defence are wholly unfit to cope with the native
expect the peace-loving, timid, and indolent Slamese to face Europeans would be the height of absurdity. The population of Siam, crushed by centaries of slavery and oppresalon, without a spark of patriotism, or an atom of love for King or religion, offers but sorry material for defence against forign aggression. To suppose that the inhabitants would rise against a probable invader, as in Burmah or Tong-King, is out of the range of probability. The kingdom of Slam is composed of a heterogeneous popula. language, and customs, an aggregation of don, differing from each other in origin, tributary slates without unity, centralisailon, or a single hord of sympathy which could induce them to defend a common cause.
