He had had no interest meant what he said, that the failure of the promise had nothing to do with the question whether the extra £20,000 should be voted or not.

JOHN STUART MILL, who knew the world well, is responsible for the saying that the man who only knows his own side of a case, knows little of that. That appeared to be the position occupied by Governor Das Vaux in the debate in the Legislative Council last Thursday on the vexed question of the Military Contribution. And yet the actual point In dispute between His Excellency and the unofficial members was simplicity itself; A demand was made by the Secretary of State over a year ago that an additional sum of £20,000 should be added to this colony's annual military contribution, on the ground that political necessities required the streng thening of our garrison by a new regiment, etc., being added to our present forces, It was on the distinct and definite promise that these additional troops would be forth coming, and for no other reason and on no other grounds, that the extra vote of £20,000 was agreed to. The new regiment has not arrived, nor has any satisfactory explanation been given for its non-arrival, and therefore the unofficial members very properly have declined to tamely acquiesce in the tax-payers of Hongkong being deliberately 'victimised by the unscrupulous rapacity of the War Office, the lamentable supineness of Lord KNUTSFORD, and the much-to-be-deplored obliquity of his moral vision which has placed Governor DES Vœux in his present untenable position. This is the whole matter in a nutshell; the question of the justice or Injustice of an increased military contribution was not properly before the The observations of the Hon. P. RYRIE Council for discussion; all that ought to have been considered was whether or not the welfare of Hongkong and its social were, as usual in all affairs concerning a binding contract had been entered into and commercial prosperity, to the point, between the Imperial Government and this and admirable in every way.
