Those who have followed the parliamentary debates on Any 19form must recognise tlust if conscrip tion is to be avoided in England the only way in which it is to be done is by such appeals to patriotism and the sense of duty us those which aro being cirenlated in this Colony by the Colonial secretary.

Saturday night I believe was the first occasion on which His Excellency the Governor has attended the Theatre Royal. As His Excelency's promise to attend had beu pro- minently advise. I expected to see some effort made to give the approach to the vice- regal enclosure a more presoutable appearance than usual. But nothing had been done to enver the dust and dirt of the sinuous stairnso which leads to the dress circle.. Surely in the interest especially of the ludios something can be done to make the way to the dress circle at all times a little cleaner

The change to the Zone time system does not ahnit of ranch disenssion by the man in the street. To most-men--and women--the mean- ing of it is that neat Sunday morning we must rise 23m. 8. earlier than usual. I about to fall into the error of saying "Muskee, we shall all make up this lost time on Sunday night." But ala-! we won't. That m., 18sec. Our lives will be will be for over lost to us. shortened by so many minutes, and we have not even the consolation of a thought that an action for damages against the Government conld be 'sustained in the Supreme Court. The clergy may find solace in the reflection that those who rait on Saturday night to "put on the clock" will doubtless turn up at churelt in time for the collection.

My sympathies are not with the agitation in England against the introduction of Chinese labour into South Africa. Everyone who has lived a little while in the Fur East eau sew the absurdity of the contentions put forward by those who oppose the immigration of the Yellow

SPO

I was rather astonished though to a contribution to the discussion in London papsi by a Hongkong gentleman who cited this Colony as an example of what Chinese labour is capable of doing in a British Colony. That is right enough as far as it goed. Chinese labour would do the saMIG For London, but that is not to say we ought to sart shipping coolies to the metropolis of the Brit sh Empire. The service required of Chinese coblies in South Africa is work in the mines, and the only sound argument against their introduction has to be found in evidence that the supply of local labom is adequate to Jueet the needs.

Soveral months ago I mentioned in this caluran the existence of a scheme formed by European speculators to secure the gambling monopoly of Macao, shut down the fan-tar shops, and open a casino on Monte Carlo lines. It seems that a sufficiently tempting offer has been made to induce the Portagness Colonial authorities to look favourably on the subject, but as the syndicats is of foreign nationality the matter has to be referred to Lsban. À contemporary gives the name of the leading spirit in the enterprise as Mr. John Barnes, u distinctly English name, but I understand that the enterprise is Freach-unless two bi's are being made for the mopepoly-and that is French syndicate has a capital of two million francs at its back.

The Hon. Rebort Showan bad hotter skip this jetting. I was about to remark that we have a practice in Hongkong of honouring our Governors by adopting their names in the nomenclature of our streets. They have another way in Ceylon of showing their feeling towarils the reigning Governor. I notice that a Caloutta hat manufacturer has obtained from Sir Henry Blake permission to introduce into the island of Ceylon a new hat to be known as the Blake" hat, which a Colombo paper remarks is quite a stylish shape and is bound' to meet with popularity." Because it is stylish. I wonder, or because it will be auto the Governor, an outward and visible sign of what the man of plain speech would tersely call sycophanoy! The fickleness of fashion is Po proverbial that if I were a Governor I should put my foot down on the advertising dodges of the hat or collár manufacturer. Has it not in- deed been said of the sycophant that he wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat, over changing with the newest block." Give me our own way of showing respect to Governors: thero is more solidity about it. Mr. Shewan mildly objects to chauging the name of Peddler's Wharf to Blake Pier, but I am sure he would be much more emphatic if Fashion with capital F dictated that members of the Legislative Council of this Colony should wear "Blake" hats. I thought by introducing the subject as I have done that I might spare Mr. Shewan the pain of suggesting the bare

- possibility of such a thing.

The protest made by the gentry of Hummu against the transference of the Hankow-Canton Railway Concession to a Belgian syudicato is endorsed by the President of the Railway MASTER Administration, but the attitude of Shong Kungpao seems to be that of sitting on the fence. He is not sure that the Chinese Govern ment could legally cancel the agreement.

A paper has recently been issued by the Consus Office of the United States, which contains statistics as to the extent, charus ter and condition of the negro population in the several States of the Union. From this report it appears that the number of negroes in the United States. including Alaska, Hawaii and Perto Rico, is ve less thun 9,200,000, or more who resembles the President closely in height of railway bonds, but now the concession has PLAYING ALL THE NOTES OF THE

than the inhabitants of Scotland and Ireland added together, Nearly nine-tenths of the negroes are to be found in the Southern States, the largest number of negroes living is compact masses being in and abont the district of Columbia and the cities of Memphis, Baltimore. and New Orleans. The district in which the proportion of negros is the preatest lies slong the banks of the Lower Mississippi, where fire eighths of the population is negro, the maximum being in Isaqueza County, where there are more than fifteen negroes to each white person. The centre of the negro population is in Alabama, on the borders of Georgia. The report further states that 14.5 per cent, of the negroes are illiterate but that the percentage has decreased rapidly since 1890, when it was about seven times as common as one whites, and that rather less than half of the black population are engaged in trules or professious. It is the five millions who live from hand to mouth who form the great peril for the United States: and until some moro civilized method of reclaiming them than lynching is adopted the peril will continue to increase.-Globe.
