Answering an address presont- od to him by the University of Just roosired, a fresh consignment of Calcutta during his recent pro- PAUL CLOUBT CHAMPAGNE,gress through ludia, His Majesty the King-Emperor, said:" You havo to conserve the ancient learning and simultaneously to push forward Western scienco. You have also to build up charag |tor, withinat-which-learning-is-of- little vilue." A precisely similar task is laid upon the educational authorities of Hongkong and all intorostod in the subject must rejoice that throughout his career as Governor of the Co- lony Sir Frederick Lugard has consistently laid stress upon the vory points which King George underlined, as it were, in the Calcutta spooch. In season and out of season His Excellency has striven to impress upon the rising genoration of scholars that the nere nequisition of book-kno ledge is of no ollect if unsupport- od by the moral qualities which, are essential for the building-up of sound and upright character. This of course is whore the big Indian universities have proved such a disastrous failure,

The Housing Scheme. The recent publication of an outline of the two projects now under consideration for solving the housing problem in the Colony naturally orontod much public interest and discussion. Full details have been published of only one ache:ne, viz. that of Mr. C. Montague Ede, for a Portuguese Resor vation at Wong- nel-cheong. Consequently it is upon this scheme that publio attention at the prosont moment is chiefly directed, but it may be use ful to at once comment on one or two of theobjections which we have heard advanced against this scheme as, broadly speaking, they may be said to be common to both. We take, first, the objeo- tion raised against the site of the proposed "Cidade Camoos" as being in all probability mularist, That is an objection which might be raised against any new site in the Colony, whether on this side of the harbour or the other. In years now happily gone by the whole city of Victoria had the reputation of being perhaps the most fever-stricken apot in the whole world.

Almost a Hoax. As for the speech delivered by the First Lord of the Admiralty, not much.can be said of it. We cannot agree with Mr. Redmond that it was n noble utterance, In- deed, it was a very ordinary effort, a reiterativa. of familiar arguments and antiquated pleas. There was not a new point, not a single phrase calculated to impart fresh inspiration to a wall- seasoned cause. The audience of 0,000, was told that an

only of domestic affairs, that its representation in the Imperial Parliament would be preserved, though in lesser proportion," that should occasion oall, London would play schoolmaster" to Bel- fast, that the Government in their Bill are solving the fina¤- cial difficulty to the advantage and satisfaction of all concerned, and so on through the old list of favouring pros and immaterial cons which can be found in any penny pamphlet on Home Rule. No converts would be made, and no adherents lost. The great meeting is over and the result i-Nothing Politics seem more of a farce now, than were✨ They are fine
