HONGKONG, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1890.

Tas Colony's Budget for 1891 was laid be- fore the Legislative Council yesterday af- teracon. The Aoting Governor is doubt as justified in slating that the Ban cial condition of Hongkong is satisfactory, but one cannot help comparing the present budget with the one that was presented to

we published inst night one or two of which might have been postponed without great inconvenience-wore sanctioned by the Council. The total cost of the public work commenced, or, about to be com menced, is £2,636,237. Of this amount, it in estimated that 86,37,135 will have been spout by the end of this year, leaving £2,000,000 to be exponded. The dow ing Governor proposes to spend: about the half of this next year, $020,279. To meet this expense he han, the estimated balance at the end of this year, $441,629, and the estimated balanco for 1881 $377,918, in all $819,047, say $820,000-$100,000 loss than the sum required. The Government must therefore eith banden some of the works, or proceed more slowly with their construction or borcem ney. There are disadvant uges attached to all the alternatives, I we liad only next year to consider, a Bol tion might easily be found. The Gool oz. teusios scheme is to cost $100,000; post- pone the work for a year. Sir Jamen Russell, we are glad to see, has reluzzied to the Colony with his rattan. If the magis
