FROM

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1882.

We were somewhat curious to know in what fashion our estimable contemporaries would treat the news which makes them appear so supremely ridiculous in the eyes of the public, Divested of their borrowed peacock's plumage, it could not be an edifying sight to see the two journals which pretend to represent the public opinion of this important Colony, gro- velling in the dust in search of their lost self-esteem. But as there are in this strange world of ours quite a sumber of noteworthy specimens of the breed pachydermata, it will not be a matter of great surprise to the initiated to find that the cuticles of our contemporaries are quite

Why this should be so we leave the authorities to answer. Give and take is an old and good principle, but in this case there is no equivalent. China takes all and gives Hongkong no- thing. How long this unhappy state of matters may exist we cannot say; but con- sidering all things we would advise the Government to put an end to it as speedily as possible, When it is spoken broadly in the streets that no less than three Chi- nese Customs houses exist in this, our sup- posed free port, it is time to do some- thing.

During the next decade the figures swelled to $17,317,640,428, or 65 per cent. advance. During the decade from 1870 333,286,414,753, a further advance of 36 per cent. to 1880 the total was still further swelled to This makes the average annual increase for the period between 1848 and 1880, $489,335,979 These are pretty large figures, but the world seems to be big enough to owe it. Germany, Holland, Denmark, England and the United States are the only nations that are reducing

their indebtedness.

A FAMILIAR saying testifies to the meanness of kicking a man when he is down, but it is surely even more shabby, observes a con-

temporary, to kick a man when he is dead. Every one remembers Lord Beaconsfield's allu- sion to the "Batavian grace" of Mr. Beresford Hope, and the object of the somewhat satirical pleasanty does not seem to have either forgotten or forgiven it, for he takes his revenge in the pages of a novel entitled "The Brandreth," where we have this description of an unnamed political personage "He was a versatile actor, and had brought to a perfection never before or after known the gift of exhibiting sublime calm ins- lence towards all mankind and yet of being really insolent to no one in particular. So the House had night after night to bear the bland outrages of its Bohemian brother." Mr. Beresford Hope certainly pays to Lord Beaconsfield the borage of imitation; but some things are inimitable, and satire of the true Disraelian flavour is beyond the reach of the author of "The Brandreths," WHEN an Irish alderman is patriotic, says the Daily News, he reminds one of that earnest character in the American hymn who always
