It has arison from the necessity of entrusting. large Colonies with self-legislative powere which are but parodied in those where "representation" is at a minimum and the small fry get all the disadvantages of the system. It is of course urged that to place, say a colony like Hongkong upon the same footing as the mother country would involve embarrassments which would be far more serious than any corresponding improvements. But we are tempted to believe that, this is rather an imaginative that coal bugbear, aud that, as experiment would soon show the redundancies or deficiencies of euch a system they could be easily grappled with The map of this Colony was, in its first scopestion, radi. cally wrong in an important particular.

tunately happens that there are nowe which are debuteable, and the uncer tainty which exists regarding thein has at times been of grave inconvenience. A simple disinclination to take the neces ury tronble at bome seems to have been the cause of this confusion. Had the scceptance of our Statute law, except those acts so obviously inapplicable that the vortest legal tyro could have detected them at a glance-such, as those arising out of the divisions of counties, the election of Members of Parliament, the regulation of Municipalities, &a-bean compulsory with the special powers con-- ferred upon the local Government to abrogate or add to them by special Ordi- nauce when necessity arose, matters would have been much clearer.

It is not, however, so much with the long, as with the recent, past that we are chiefly concerned.
