For a score and odd years Mace has

dragged in the wake of the progressi VICTORIA DISPENSARY,

countries of the world, lagging through sad vicissitudes in gradual deendence to the verge of wreck and ruin. Governors with more than ordinary grit and goodwill here, ever and anon, settled at the helm and done their level best to steer clear of shoals and quicksands towards prosperity, but of theso Macan has been sparingly blessed; while hopeless inefficiency in others, let alone a seetsing lack of the integrity and high purpass which is a sine qua non of their mission, hna all bat inclined to retrieve the Colony from the guagmire of decay.

Bot far and away the most antagonistie stumbling-blook to progress was the glaring nesciones of homo politiciane on existing .conditions in the Far East, fanned by a Úreath of proclivities the reverse of altruistic. Stated in a natebell, this is the crux, and hy tragic reciprocity, their shortsighted policy bas crippled the ro Rourees of the Colony and bemfied it round in dire stagnation with a fence of steel.

The advent of H.E. Senhor Roçadas will ever be a landmark at the torning-point of its career. The future is sealed a book, but should even failure attend the strenuous endeavours of His Excellency on behalf of the Colony, his thorough grasp and fanrless rocognition of actual needs will not fail to press home the truth on time servers and others of that ilk, or on solish champions
