religious efforts put forth on their behalf. 31 bags of reading books have been sent away with out. ward-bound ships. To keep up the supply needed to meet the constant demand for good literature, the Chaplain appeals to those who take in the Illustrated, Papers, Magazines, &c, in the hope they may be able to spare some, which after doing duty in the Reading Room, might be sent
way to sea,
The work has grown, to such an extent that Mr. Goldsmith has been for some time seeking means to support a Scripture. Reuler to assist him in visiting the ships. By persevering efforts he has succeeded, and he has now engaged the services of Mr. Edward Makebam, signalman on board H.M.S. "Constance," who concludes to years' service in H.M. Navy on January. 318. Mr. Makcham is expected to arrive in Hong kong shortly and will at once enter on his duties.

Now I think I have shown briefly how we are governed-if I may add a listic advice it would be that we should try and raise the status of this colony from that of a Crown Colony pure and simple to that of Class B in the List, and get representative institutions, a Legislature elected by the people, the power

Colonies themselves if the responsiblity was assented to by the Queen, so that it is a very thrown openly and fairly on the Governor tremendous piece of machinery indeed for himself, for he is really the responsible person, removing an English. Judge from the bench. But and that the members of the Council should in the Colonies, for reasons which are probably be absolutely free-officials and unofficials-wise they are removeable by the Government to discuss and criticise measures, and then if, iner rather they may be suspended and their cases face of their opinions, he wanted to push those remitted to the Privy Council for consideration, measures forward, make the responsibility of but the great safeguard against abuse of power declaring them law test on him. The position of for casca do sometimes occur where Governors Legislative Councils at present is both curious suspend Judges-is that when the cage comes and dificult. As it was described to me the before the Privy Council the Governor is himself other day, it is probably one of the most on his trial, and if he fails to justily his act he delicate instruments for governing ever invented. himself will be removed from his post. All The Governor is possessed of absolute power, in other officers he may suspend, that a good Governor never, or seldom, loses his official majority-he, will so bring forward his measures, so consult his colleagues, so take the public into his confidence, that any measure which is really worth carrying will have been discussed and examined and approved by the majority of the colonists before it comes before the Council, or, if undesirable, it will probably be dropped, or at least reconsidered and amended. We have had Buch Governors in this Colony. We have had Governors during whose reign there has been no such thing known as division in the Council, and on the other hand we have had Governors. under whom every question was debated and divided upon, and passed with a minimum ofasseut and a maximum of dissatisfaction. Now the Legislature whose measures produce such results can hardly be considered a success. In the executive government of a Colony Governors are assisted by the Executive Council. In the old days of this Colony, and most other places, as shown by the Colonial List, this Council consists of the officer commanding the troops, the Colonial Secretary, and the Attorney-General-seldom any other. We find a number of other gentle men in the Council at present. it seems to me that the earlier form was the only sound and good one. The duties of the Council, as its very name implies, are to assist in the actual Government of the Colony, The Governor's doly, in addition to initiating all useful measures, is to supervise the action of the heads of departments, whom he has the power- to suspend, and in many cases to entirely remove, if necessary, He should supervise their per- formance of their functions. Some Governors adopt the theory that when they have a good staff of officials they should not interfere, but let them do their work in their own way and on their own responsibility. That does not always do. On the other hand there are Governors who are constantly interfering with the heads of departments, and are inclined to monopolise the whole of the duties of every department. We have had specimens of both kinds, and it seems to me that they were equally failing in the performance of their duties. Heads of departments must be supported, but only when they are right, and the Governor who does not take the trouble to investigate the com- plaints cannot vory well know whether they are well founded or not. In all such matters he is -required by his instructions to have the assistance of the Executive Council, and it has always been a puzzle to me how that Council, when composed largely of heads of departments, can assist him in the performance of that duty
The Council is composed of the Colonial Secretary, who is of course the confidential counsellor of the Governor, the General com- manding the troops, a man experienced in dealing with men and free from social influences, the Attorney-General, who, though the head of the legal department, is the Governor's adviser, and holds as independent a position as the Governor bimself, and the heads of the departments. It has always seemed to me a mistake to have these last on the Council-a great departure from the representative formation ofthe body. It may be said that the Governor derives an immense advantage from having them by him. But he can learn anything he wants about any department by calling on the head for a report or having him up to give an explanation, and the Council can much more fairly, and thoroughly, and impar- tially discuss matters affecting that department in his absence. You see there is the Governor, with plenary authority, the Council, and the Legislature, subject to the Imperial Parliament, whose power is transmitted through the Secretary of State for the Colonies. You may know that every Act of Her Majesty must be countersigned by some other responsible person before it is operative. He is responsible for her Acts in his department, so she is bound, constitutionally, to follow his advice. If she does not, and the matter is sufficiently grave, he refuses bis vīgna« ture. So the real Governntent of the country is vested in these Secretaries of State, The them, although in these days of rapid dispatch, when every Governor may be said to be sitting at the end of the telegraph wires, every initiative in left to them. The Secretaries of State, you know, years they go out of office, so the Government from the soil." "I agree with this sentiment

Warmest thanks are due and are hereby lendered, to those friends, whether here or in England, who have so liberally contributed to the expenses of the year just closed. Appeal is again made for help during another year. Committee of the Sailors' Home have, most kindly undertaken to furnish the allowance towards house rent, which this Fund has hitherto supplied, but the remaining expenses will still have to be met by voluntary contributions. It is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in raising the small amount required for a Sea- men's Chaplain in Pont, where in 1887, according to the Harbour Master's Report, no less than 4.078 vessels, representing more than four and a half million tons, arrived and passed on to other
