About this time last year a petition from the leading bankers, merchants, and cilliens of Hongkong, praying for a larger messura of | representative Government, was read in the ear of the House of Commons, and underwent (he tate which most of such documents Incar. The petition was lajudiciously' worded, in soma respects; as it polated to the "fice election" of represantailves—which would not work in a community so heterogeneous: representatives will have to be selected in such colonies a Hongkong and Slogapore, for a long time to come.

The pitioners fully and explicitly recognised "that, in a colony so pecalmly lluated on the borders of a great Oriental Empire, and with a popolation largely comped of allena whose interests and sympathies largely remain in that neighbouring empire, special legislation and guardianship are required, Nor were they "so unpractical as to expect that unrestricte power should be given to the local legislature, or that the Queen's Government should give up the paramount control of dependency" which is a frontier fortress and sarai depót as well ne a commercial emporium.

This would still leave the casting vote in the hands of the Governor; and that bicked by the power of veto at home would surely be a sufficient check.
