It is there fore not to be wondered at that they are bestirring themselves and writing letters to the public press and forwarding petitions to the home Government. The foremost men in the Colony have forwarded a petition to the Right Honble, the Secretary of State for the Colonies asking him :---.

SANITATION.
So as to perpetuate the burlesque of pre- tending to govern by popular methods, we find in Hongkong a Sanitary Doard. The con cession to the Board of a majority of unofficials was rendered completely futile by withholding all executive power from the Board. It is, merely a deliberate body, with power to ra commend to the Council. So intolerable and repugnant has the position of the unofficial, members become, that at the present moment the majority have tendered their resignation. This step is one which every right-minded person who retains a scrap of the sense of dignity due to his privileges as a British subject was compelled to take.
