Dear Ale Seroamhe Smith,

SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1895.

That of course, you know, we are all so busy thinking of our own affairs, that we hawa no time to devote to the landing role, mi- though we swear at Isirga' when we bave a spare moment,

That after over thirty years' experience, I shara no hesitation la saying we have less representation now than we had a guarter of a century ago,

That it is the exasplion, and not the rals, that any one who is supposed to represent The people has the courage of his opinions. That I see the Kowloong Matshed has to be removed, whether the Godown Company's vivil letter has been answered or not. Tast the Magistrate had to carry out the law,-open-it-ko-ovuld not just the instincts of common civility into the mem. bere or heads of the P.W.D. That I was told the other day the respected Beorotary of the Godown Co: had got fourteen days.

That I thought this was very hard, mad re- solved to see justice done,--when I was naively informed he had got fourteen.

· days' to remore his matched. That he has evidently got more than four- taon days during which to look for a dísil Bower to Reivil letteran angwer which the Magistrate thought he ought to have received: ----

That this peculiar fast only shows that the P: W. D. is above all rules of cammon courtesy pad of common law, and soine to be able to do as seemeth good in its >own eyes. "

That either the laws or the staff require extensive amendment, alteration, or check; bat no one seems to be strong enough to undertake the task.

That while Manila is behaving, as newal, like a frightened, shild over the Plague soare, and the bighly-enlightened British Dependency of Singapore is following suit, it is exosedingly creditable to tha Executive of Hongkong that we keep clear of plague with a comparative misi- mam of quarantine restricționa,

That our local Government has been blamed for not Issuing earlier official notification of the conclusion of peace between Obina and Japan.

i

That perhaps B. . M. Minister was be busy patching up the remnants of the pease, that he forgot all about the 'comitercial interests at Hongkong and the porta.

That it was wonderful, considering the re putation which Mr O'Conor was supposed
