THE WORD OF HONOUR,
The men who do as they say the things that prove to be what they were said to be bow cheering it is to come upon them. We all hate to be deceived; especially when the decep- tion is intentional. But all men are not liars, even if David did say so in his haste. If they were society would be impossibile. Everybody knows that business is based on credit, on faith. Millions are bought daily on nothing more solid than the pledged promises of men, changes are often called nests of gamblers, yet not written, merely verbal. The Stock Ex- nowhere is a promise held in greater honour. Therefore wlien we say that the tried and effective modern remedy called "Wampole's

PROFESSOR SIMPSON'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
Theron and China Express of the 6th June, says :-
The telegrafas received at the Colonial Office show that there has been a recrudescence of the
plague this year at Hongkong, although, for tunately, it is nothing like so severe as last year's outbreak. The increased precautions which have been taken would appear, there- fore, not to have been in vain. There is still, however, much more to be done if the disease is to be finally stamped out, and for the future prosperity of the colony it is absolutely essen- tial that the local authorities hould leave no stone unturned to bring about this desirable
end. The recommendations which have been
made by Professor Simpson indicate clearly the line to be pursued. The carrying of them'

Professor Simpson appears to have put his finger on most of the weak spots, . If it is not possible to put all the existing tenements on a thoroughly satisfactory sanitary basis, the authorities can at any mic prescribe the type of houses to be built in different parts of the colony in the future. On this and other points Professor and we certainly agree with him, as doubtless will the more enlightened opinion in the colony, that the plague work should be in- dependent of the ordinary sanitary routine work of the day, and therefore requires a special establishment which can work in conjunction with the Sanitary Department and get the benefit of its assistance.

The report on the New Territory at Hong- kong for last year may be regarded on the whole as satisfactory, even if it cannot be described as roseare, says the Land C. Express: A good deal of disappointment appears to have been felt locally that the revenue collected has not been larger, and there have not been wanting critics who have even gone so far as to speak of the New Territory as a "white elephant" It is not surprising that Mr. Stewart- Lockhart in his report-the last with which he will be concerned-resents such exaggerative criticism, and even opines that before long the inhabitants of the colony will wonder how evenT themost arrant pessimist could have held any but the most favourable views regarding the future of the new organisation. Some of the present disappointment is doubtless due to his some- what too optimistic view in his report for 1898 that he anticipated no difficulty in raising, from the quiset, an annual revenue big enough to
mest the cost of administration. The facts, of course, have not justified that somewhat con fident prediction, but apart from this, there is certainly nothing in the present circumstances and future outlook to create any uneasiness as to,
