The day may yet come when the public oficials will not be able to draw their salaries at the end of the month, through tearth of money in the Tredsary. The revenue of the present year has considerably increased, owing to the increased prices of the monopolies of opium and the Pak-ka-pin lottery, and it is only due to this fact that the revenue bas roached the sum of $1,313,622;, but deducting from this. nm the 8800,000 which is to be sent hose, there remains $543.622; and deducting from this $450.835 for officials' enlaries there remains $92,787.

The article went en commenting on the different abuses and comparing the wies administrations of other colonies by other nations and so forth; and in the concluding paragraph it says :--

"We protest against the hypocritical regimon maintained in Macao; we protest against the official bad faith in promising putlie improvements which have never bean falilled ;. we protest against the increase of the Governor's salary with the object of inducing him to keep his mouth shut on the situation of other servants of State. We finally protest against the dangor of baing reduced to misery by the constant drainage on the Colonial Treasury and to the manifest detriment of the Colony's most urgent needs."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PREŅS."

Hongkong, 17th Desember. SIR-The wordy warfare between "Grifin ' and Mr. Darios is no doubt vastly amusing to them, but can il in the long run do any good? 8nch discussions are suroly out of place in the calar Press (if I may use such an expression), and in a colony like this, where a large percon- tage of the inhabitants are of an clien race and creed, it seems to me that they savour of that universally condomaed practice of "washing dirty linen in palio," Charity is a very Christinu virtue which perhaps Mr. Davies has discarded with his Christianity, but "Grifin" should know better and not enter into a mud-slinging com petition with the Huxley-cum-Davies frator On and after the lat January, 1904, commen-aity.
