How is this figure determined? The Government statistics, published on the application of the Hon. T. H. WHITEHEAD, are very clear, in the form he specified. In 1887 a gold loan of £200,000 was raised, and has been repaid year by year at the rate of £7,072 per annum, plus Interest at four per cent on outstanding sum, and these payments have gradually risen from $44,665 to 866,075, because the dollar was 33. cd.

From these figures, how ever, we have omitted to deduct per Cent interest saved by conversion of the loan in 1894 from 4 per cent. to 3 per cent. That saves some $7,000 per annum at present, and of course as the loan is repaid by instalments there is a decrease in the interest and in the saving thereon. The payment this year should therefore be about $74,000 instead of the TELEGRAMS. towards the barracks boundary. O. V. Lin.

Then there was another £200,000 Ioan in 1893, at 3 per cent. It was raised at the rate of 2s. 718, per dollar, and the Colonial Secretary vented his sarcasm on the croakers (including the Telegraph) who suggested that the rate might fall below 2s. 6d. In fact, he confidently predicted a permanent recovery to 29. tod., and framed It is his Budget for the year at that rate. a pity he is not here now, that we might cut-and-give him back his flouts and gibes; his Chief is still here, for a few months longer, but one might just as. well prate to the "joss" in the Man Mo Temple of his high priest's misdeeds. The Colonial Treasurer, at Mr. WHITEHEAD's request, has furnish- ed a tabular statement of this loan also,, showing how the Colony has lost on Its het; the Government laid a rash wager that exchange would not fall, and calculated that the annual payments should be under $100,000 in round figures Now the bet- fing is against us, and we paid last year $127,000, at 25. zd., probably $138,000 this year at is. 1:d.

One of the principal characteristics of the British as distinguished from other. systems of government is its elasticity, Its readiness to break loose from hard-and- fast rules and adapt itself to all manner of circumstances independent of dried theories and established principles. This disposition to cast principles aside and launch out on new departures can only be excused when successful in its results; if its effects happen in any instance to be generally beneficial to all concerned, we overlook technical offences. But there is no justification for any violation of prin- ciple which does damage to all concerned, The ancient proposition that "it is lawful to do evil that good may come" is not accepted in principle, but in practice it usually passes without serious opposition
