The will find representatives of the public, and it was that the Secretary of State will disallow As to the pensions and leave privileges, what is desired Is not to break falth whore contracts are already made, but to make better terms for future contracts; and it is surprising to find a man of Mr. O'BRIEN's sense talking such twaddle as he did on this point. the Yokohama.Arm requires for the In regard to the loan, that is a heavy order, and we hope to deal with it separately before long; but it is sufficiently apparent from what has transpired in this matter that Sir W.

When they have to thank Mr. Holloway, the Incal are a little older they will know more.
"But the most serious and regrettable feature of yesterday's debate was the Kaiser-like determination of Sir W. ROBINSON to have his own way in spite of everybody. Our own opinion had been that he would disguise his autocratic will more, and try to maintain the plausible force of "being advised" by the Unofficial Members. Now he has put his foot down. He-that is, his spokesman-loftly sets aside Mr. WHITEHEAD's carefully compiled and indisputable statistics, which could not be met; he contemptuously ignored them, and optimistically designed fiscal castles in the air, die MITCHELL-INNEs, which will inevitably come down as disastrously as did those of the absent Colonial Treasurer. The pity of it is that these collapses overwhelm only the poor tax- payer, without hurting the fools who caused them. Mr. O'BRIEN, in over-ween ing confidence of his little newly acquired local knowledge, pointed to the note circulation of the local banks; did it never occur to him that this is mostly in China, and hardly half of it in this Colony? But It is useless to point out the many absurdities shown by this speech of a man hat in his new office. The Commission was refused, the loan will be enforced that is the naked truth about the polley of the new Government, and in spite of all warnings, it will be carried out. Then disaster will fall-on whom? Well, never mind on whom, it will not affect the Officials, and. therefore will not be altered by any argument. the course The Governor has put his foot down; he will get it badly crushed.

On what grounds this increased estimate was based, considering the Colonial Treasurer and his colleagues were only too well aware that the then Opium Farmer had not only lost heavily hy his contract but was under considerable unpaid rent, financial obligations to the Government for and that the proposed ordinance reduced the quantity of oplum to be dealt with from 300 to 150 chests per month, in addition to other harassing and altogether unnecessary restrictions, we have never been able to fathom and we have looked carefully through the speeches delivered in Council In favor of the Opium Bill by its official sponsors without discovering a single ray of light, But we have discovered that this reckless official fad has cost the colony by no means insignificant proportion of its total revenue through the inexcusable bungling of the Colonial Treasurer, who at the time this Opium Ordinance was being forced through the Council was "THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH "OFFICE actually intriguing in the most underhand who has hardly had time to hang up, his.

And unhappily we have it on the authority of Governor Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON himself that the deficit on Mr. MITCHELL-INNIS estimate of the oplum revenue for the current year alone amounts to the huge sum of $114.000, and in addition to that, the returns from the Farm for 1893 and 1894 will only total 8340.800. Further comment on muddling of this sort would only be waste of time; In any mercantile business the employé whose incompetency was so glaring and had proved so costly, would be summarily dismissed, but the Colonial Treasurer of Hongkong cheerfully takes a trip to England on a specially conceded lengthy leave of absence on half-pay.
