stupid. In Shanghai the wheelbarrow is a necessity, a disagreeable necessity it may be, but still inevitable. The Chinese business of Shanghai could not be carried on without them. They conduct an enormous trafile across the Settlements and every increase in their number is a sign of a greatly increased business. What would Mr. ALFORD substitute for them coolies or trams? They are the only two possible substitutes. For trams, all the streets parallel to the Bund are too narrow, and ona coolie carries on a wheelbarrow what it would probably take four to carry
on bamboos. It seems regrettable that the wheelbarrow tax was the only tax raised at the last meeting of the ratepayers and was not. as MR. MORRISON suggested in his very able address, postponed until it could form part of a general scheme. But the question is not now whether the tax ought not to have been increased, or whether sufficiently long notice was given, but whether the Consuls have acted wisely or foolishly in interfering with the Municipal Council in support of the coolles when in open revolt. The Council may have been unwise in its action, but the Consular Body have been still more unwise in weakening the power and authority of the body to whom the government of the united Settlements has been entrusted by the nationalities concerned. It is of ill omen for the Council and for the Consuls.

That it would be better to give the Council greater powers than it now possesses is evident from the fact that the system of dual control and the right, unfortunately too often exercised, of the Consuls to step in between the duly elected representatives of the ratepayers and the Chinese, authoritles, has resulted in the Municipal Council being shown the culprit.
