THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS,

there is, so far as we are aware, no hard- and-fast rule that the two unofficial souts on the Executiva Council must be ocqu-

pied by members of the Legislative Council. It may be remembered that unofficial men bers were first appointed to the Executive Council about ten years ago as the result of a Petition addressed to the House Commons praying for the amendment of Ings. the Cisustitution of the Colony, much as the Colonial Government dis charges municipal duties it was recognised by the Rt. Hon. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, then the Secretary of State for the Colonies,

that "on that are sunt representatives of

the citizens may fairly be given a place on the Executive." The Colonial Socratary

went on to say --

I therefore propose that the Executiv, Council shall in fatars include two unollistal members to be selected at the discretion of the Governor. It is obviously desirabls that they should, as a rufo, bo chosen from among the official members of the Legislative Council, and the choice should, and no doubt will be inspired by consideraticas of personal merit, and have no reference to the particular class or race to which the persons

We may conclule from this extract that the unofficial souts in the Executive Council need not necessarily be copied by anotheial members of the Legislative Cuncil. In feaning the proposal as he lid it is not improbable thit the objes Mr. CHAMBERLAIN bad in view was to limit to some extent the exercise of a personal preference on the part of the Governor of the Colony for the time being, and to insure that the gentlemen chosen to occupy, those sents should enjoy such a measure of confi-lence on the part of the community as is expressed in an election to the Legislative Council either by the Justices of the Peace or the Chamber of Commerce.
