tocat of the hospitality they enjoy. Off for IRON & PERUVIAN BARK BISLERI mom of à tai deigned to maot the cost of lights, water, police, and other provides for the bocetit of shipping, thein esh, we concaire, be hardly a quastion from a point of view. It in as fair us it is to make the occupior of a bo pay police and street lighting-lens which a landlord is not usually expected to provide. 'There is room for objection to the title, Light Dites, and there is room for objection, oil princi

ple, to merging such a lax in guneral rovente. Dnt that principle would be elegated by providing that the proceeds sha!! be applied solely to lighting and harbour expenditure, and that income all outlay shall be isolated ir

harbour aconte

The question appears, subject to such reserva tions, to be purely one of expediency. The rĪBA. of Hongkong is unquestionably due, la great aars, to its having been a free port in the past, and the shipping fatorests may be right in protesting that its wollary will be prajudiced, oven Luw, by departing from the maxim Sir Henry Pottinger laid down. StUk the 'nnolkojal monitora of Council must hold a different viow; for they ar as much interested in the wolfare of Hong- kong as ybody olvo, and it is a little re- markably that the opposition comes entirely from shipping fienis. We sympathiso cordially with the feeling that would rosent any en croachment on the position of Hongkong as a free-part. As a Tres port it was created, cuid as free port it has grown Any attempt to vary that policy acriously would call for strenuous resistanou, Hut a tax so Hght w that posed-if pont oloty for the bezelit of the interests that pay it-carcely na to call for the display of the danger signal. Hongkong, as a great cummardal emporivn and in outpost of British Ravel power, is in a vary different position from the Hongkong of 1642. If slips call there it is, presumably, conse Guy it pay; and it seems hardly likely that they will be deterred by a tax of 34: ston, equalling $50 or $109, according to size. Besides, this experiment has ben tried

for six years, and no barza whatever' hus

chased. A tax that has proved inngenous under the title of Light Duns can scarcely to made prejudicial by change of pawe, It cau, in any case, be promptly andoned if the event prove that it does doter ships that would older wise cull-Londoli and China Express.
