No doubt this will draw its crowd, while at the same time it will serve the more practical if mora sordid purpose of his Excellency, namely, adding to the coffers of the gambling hella run by

This factor, as an element in the demoralization of the despised foreigner, while being a source of pecuniary benefit to himself and "szrroundings, is one not likely to be lost sight of by the astute Viceroy. History gives us mapy Instances of cruel tyrants and ignoble rulers of their fellow creatures, but I question if its pages contain anything more disfiguring than a ruler, by every available agency, fostering gambling of all descriptions upYsu-ma-ti, which, doubtless, that enterprizing firm to the hilt, and then when the natural result of such vicious policy follows and crime becomes alle ruthlessly and, cruelly slaying bis victims and pyring their heads by the hundreds.

Of course the lighters would have to be towed an and down, but doubtless the Sterm.

of the recond Welsing farmer established by 'his Excellency during his short term of office, for the benefit of himself and Yamen harpies, When the history, of the obscure Nangwhei Li family comes be written, commencing from the time when by the efforts of the noblest character of the century, it was raised from obscurity, it will show such a streak of blood, cruelly and treachery from beginning to finir, as will make even the Medici anuals pale before it. The dread Reaper has been particularly active here of late, the last to be mowed down being one of your most respectable and enterprising fellow citizens Tok Kre, the owner of the Pasig &c. &c. &c. Undoubtedly the litigation worries in connection with the Pasig, and your great opposition Steamboat Companies, were the cause of his untimely end. All concerned this-one of the most scandalous actions ever brought even in the Hongkong Court--will now be satisfied, more especially those prominent members of the "Devil's very own," who so studious intensified the situation. Alas poor eld Tok Kee, you were not given the gratificating of repeating that old epitaph from the Devonshire tombstone
"Here lies W. W.;
*No more he will trouble you-trouble you." It was my privilege-many-years since to enjoy the personal ncquaintance of that prince of modern satirisis, W. Shcock Gilbert, and I still relafn agreeable reminiscences of pleasant evenings at his rooms in Clement Danes and at the old Dramatic Club in Cecil Street. I purpose shortly resuming tay old acquaintance with Sir Arthur Sullivan's clever collaborateur, and asking him to give me a few hints to casting a new original tragical Operetta entitled The Dance of Death, specially for the City Hall boards of Hongkong." It should take as well as The Contrabandista," and I shall know how to place the characters. My old friend,the chairman of the H.K., C. and M. Steam Boat Co, will have a part all to himself, of which, to judge by his previous history, he will be proud, and my very particular friends of the Devil's own," including the Q.C. Rajab, will likewise be assigned leading parts which should create startling not to say edifying effect, more especially as they will carry in their hands scrolls of velium-excoriated containing the guarantees given the Hongkong Government, To give our great local talent a show, I should propose to place the scenery in the hands of the Hongkong Sketching Club, so that they might faithfully depict the beauties of the Companies' feet, with the famous old bone-abaker to the fore and the Kingfisher at the tall, not for- getting the Eyrie and its new observatory, with the owner as "look-out" man in full yachting costume, spyglass in hand, gazing on those venerable bills opposite, which should teach him wiser lessons than can be gained from the moral study of the Pasig case, as well as by a study of the treatment meted out to the employés of the Company to those who have contributed so much towards its prosperity. In the labgor agitation, rife all over the world, the Company doesn't recognize the "writing on the wall, it will assuredly soon be awakened. Begone such moralizing, and let us follow poor Tok Kee to his final resting place on the Whampos bills, close to where old Tuck Lee (Russell & Co.'s Compradore), and that most gealal, and best of Chinames, the Hon. Mr. Ho Ah Kee (Whampoa), of Singapore fame, lle. Passing strange it is that in death the old Hongkong crompradoric classes should desire not to bo divided.
I am asking the able and redoubtable unofficial representative of the Hongkong com- munity to bring my suggestions officially to the. notice of the Government, and have described in detail how it is feasible at little or no expense.

THE GOVERNOR'S SUCCESSOR. TO THE EDITOR de rue "'Homakosa Tetsgrann,"* SIR-Considering the vital importance of the questions pending, which have had to face the light through the energetic instrumentality of our unofficial representatives, I. venture to suggest that the rate-payers should memorialize the Secretary of State at once that Mr. Francis Fleming should be requested to return imme diately to take up the reins of government, for dur ing his tenure of administration his urbanity, courtesy, conciliation and tact were conspicuous i a degree, and he likewise possessed therare facility of1
f leading men, with a thorough grasp of the true position and situation of local matters. The deadlock which now exists to the serious dutri ment of the ratepayers be never would have allowed to arise, and it seems imperative that the urgent and pressing requirements of the colony should not be left in certainly not disinterested, beads, possessing none of the above-mentioned and I venture to think, essential qualifications for an administrator.
Your obedient servant,
AUDAX.
MAD
Hoogkong, 17th April, 1891. [Every man has a right to his oplaton and to express it when it is not libellous, and we do not in the least object to "Audax" saying good word in our columns for Mr. Francis Fleming; but with all his excellent qualities, which the colony bas frankly and readily
recognised, M, Fleming is a weak administrator and, is scarcely the required at the helm of affairs in this colony during the present constitutional colli. Í Sir William des Voeux were not incapacitated from hard work by uncertain health, we should desire no better man for Governor of this colony. He is admittedly of a headstrong and obstinate disposition, and in the Military Contribution question has taken up a position -that, is certainly incomprehensible to thore acquainted with his generally enlightened and liberal Ideas ; but he is also a sound and straightforward statesman, who has times out of number practically evinced the interest be took in the welfare of Hongkong. We have every respect for. Mr. Fleming, but the man wanted here as Governor is some one who has had experience in Australasia, and who will not be the mere mouthpiece of the Colonial Office.-Ed, H.K. Telegraph.]

The French Municipal Council is now. agitating the question of water-works, and proposing that the English Municipality join them in the project. This is a step in the right direction, but with heavy debt for an expensive Town Hall, which was far from being a necessity, and undesirable under present conditions, it is by no means sure that the latter will see its way to this most testable addition to the Settlement.
We understand that the Taku Tug and Lighter Co. did a good business last month, clearing over Tis. 50,000. The waterway still continues good, and steamers come right up to the Settlement as of old, and the state of the
