PIRACY.

Is the gloomy sort of satisfaction which some people feel at their predictions d evil being verified is in any way justi fiable, we are at liberty to take credit for having correctly predicted the result of the save all policy which has recently obtained in Her Majesty's Navy. "I told you so," is usually a very aggravat ing, though very natural, remark when the event turns out just as the speaker anticipated. The pity is. that the sting

conveyed in private life is unfelt when a corporation or a service is thus addressed. The Lords of the Admiralty and the officials of the Colonial Office are probably quite indifferont to public remniks, which, if applied to them as individuals, would

at least be annoying. Still there are ways and means of reaching the official . mind, and nothing should be neglected that tends to bring them into use. As public journalists we have on the present occasion to point out that we long 250- predicted the results that would snens

ware the vigilance formerly exercised against pirates by our gunboat cruiser in any way relaxed. We have over and over again, and our contemporaries "Tavo not less frequently, protested against placing auy faith in Chinese assuran of co-operation.
