CANTON TRAMS.
The Canton Times of yesterday. had an editorial article on Canton's tram scheme. We know nearly as little about it as the Canton Times seems to do, but if we are shown five beans we usually know how many there are. Our contemporary's comments need a little overhauling. It is frankly peeved because the Can- ton Municipality id not oblige it with the English version of the ⚫ agreement. In yesterday's paper it pretends that it was refused a
copy of the agreement, and pro- ceeds to talk about secret treaties and the impropriety of secretly signing away public property. But we have its own word for it, in an
earlier issue it seems to have for gotten, that it wasn't refused a copy of the agreement. It had the agree ment in Chinese, but learning that there was an official copy in English, it demanded that, to save the trouble, and the possible errors, of transla- tion. We don't say it was wrong to want it, and we don't know that there was any good reason for failure to oblige it but it is very wrong to make out of the molehill of a transi ation refused a mountain of corrupt secrecy. There is a suggestio falzi in that which is as dishonourable as it is serious.
