From the present situation of affairs, it would seem that Mr. BELILIOs, through not knowing his own mind at first, or having been "got at" by somebody or other, or from fickleness--or something else, has contrived to create a vast doal of unnecessary trouble instead of doing good. He apparently does not know the Sweden- borgian paradoxical aphorism that the liberty of doing evil is slavery, and the rationality of thinking falsities is irrational, But this gentleman's fabulous wealth, for most of which neither, did he, toll nor spin, gives him no liberty in this British colony to create evils that may tend to enslave, nor to go beyond thinking falsities that are irrational. Education, as WENDELL PHILLIPS put it, may be the only Interest worthy the deep, controlling anxiety of the thoughtful man, but in any case it may very safely be left to take care of Itself in Hongkong.
