He is only about a year In Hongkong since his last twelve months' vacation; but he has made up his mind, has bought his ticket, packed up his other shirt, and he isn't going to unpack now for forty Oplum Farmers. Well, let bim go-he is no loss; nor is he the only responsible official who could be well spared. But his absence is not the slightest justification for "rushing “ Par dores Important bill like this. Surely the oplum revenue, the principles of fair-play," and the costs of the law courts are more Important than a few days' difference in a vacation of months? If the unparalleled genlus of Mr. GooDMAY (thank goodness it is unparalleled-barring perhaps Mr. MITCHILL-INNES) is absolutely essential to the success of this now legislation, then let him wait till the bill has been properly and decently discussed.
But we submit that he is not required at all. He is not specially qualified more than anybody else to guide the oplum policy of the Government--though in justice he must be recognised as thoroughly conscientious, honest, pains-taking, and an amiable gentleman, which is more than can be said for the perpetrator of the Oplum Convention. However, the first point is that this Oplum Ordinance Amendment Bill ought certainly not to be rushed at blindfold; it requires time for considera- tion, whether Mr. GOODMAN stays or not.
