Such are the scenes in the life of many a responsible man among the exploited olase in Hongkong nowadays-scenes as unmitigated by the philanthropy of modern civilisation as as if in an acivilised, barbarous land. To such exploited people, it is not only the question whether life is worth living. Even an iron constitution will not long withstand such trials. Already an abnormally increased death-rate from consumption points to the effects of over crowding and privations, which, imersover, predispose the sufferers to fall victims to the annual Fisitation of plague. The evils do not end here. The younger generation, bred amidst such miserios, cannot but suffer. Th influence of environment maat tell at least on manners. Tho.new generation cannot be bu dowed, with the culture, the accomplishmente of the older generation educated under happier eirentostances. Overworked, underfed, and dis tressed parents beget weaklings further in paired by insanitary surroundings. Thus the new generation will be an inferior one morally, socially, physically,

Elsewhere public welfare is the supreme law, jealously guarded by the people's representatives, and, if trifled with, promptly vindicated by the much respected voice of anticopinion.

Curiously enough, market price raised since the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh never declined, but went on rising after every subsequent royal fête. The China-Japan war made maltere worns, and now the two million tools due as Kwangtung's share of the la demnity to foroiga Powers will in all prov bability be made up from the ever-increasing price of commodities supplied to this helpless and sorely afflicted Colony.
