SUNDAY HARBOUR LABOUR:

The list of signatures to the memorial of the Jews in favour of abolishing the Christian Sab- bath is instructive, and got to tedious as a long list would be. The nucleor of the supporters. in of course the half-dosen of merchant princes who provide the world with shipping offices. These men the Markistoab, of that Hik, leading sign once for their own opinions, and once again for the individual sentiments of each Company which entrusts them with its agency Personally they don't care a tinker's curse about Sunday; some of them are elders of the Kirk, and trustees of the Cathedral, and rabbla of the Synagogue; some of them on Sundays go to chin-chin joas, and then go on a plate in a

'Kowloon Casino; but not one of them ever works in the office more than 30 hours la week, nor even that except with a punkah going all the time. Not one of them dare: assert, Shylocks though they all are, that he ever shares to the Sunday labour that he is now trying to perpetuates or that he ever has the grace to be ashamed of himself when he sits in a cushioned paw and endorses the parson's remarks about Sabbath breakers going to ever `lasting-torment,

on Sundays they and their families would suffer, The China: Merchants S. N. Co. did not want Sunday cargo-working stopped, expecially as their officers had nothing to do with 1, a compradore being carried,.

After these leaders of the movement, the next sing of nigger-driving signatories is the gang of merchant princes' quilldrivers. Of course, when the coolie carrying the draft petition came to a big hong, be would first interview the chief, the upholder of the Church. This man, with simply repulsive hypocrisy, would say to himself in a very loud voice "Oh, this is the petition? Well, I will sign it with pleasure, and I hope it will be signed all over, though of course I would never think of trying to influence any body Then he inscribes his noble autograph, and the coolle passes on. The poor feeble minded $75 month clerks have all heard the chief's "aside," and so half a dozen signatures are slammed in. Likely enough they don't know what the petition is about; but even If they did, they would get there just the same, came to be secured. The shipping offices are Thus perhaps one third of the 250 signatures the most prominent portion of the anti-abba- tarians, like the stone frontage of the Praya reclamation, all the rest being rubbish, mud, refuse. garbage, anything worthless, only to fill up.

The "lawyer" who was paid to draw up the petition signed it and sent in his bill he carried with him a few friends from a profession which does not even profess to have six working days (a week, or to work on any.

TO THE EDITOR or the "Hasanana Teleakàru.” SIR, As there appears to be some little mis- understanding as to my action in Council in connection with this bill may I beg of you to publish the following statement and corres- pondence,

The second reading was on toth ultimo, and until that time the public were of opinion that the matter and been abandoned, 4s nothing bad Counsel on behalf of the Shatebrokers' Association was heard, and laid before the house a most able and powerful address on the whole subject, adducing substantini reasons and arguments against the proposed measure.

The senior Un-official meraber seconded the apologetic way.

"Anderson" may sell shares in a Bank or a Steamer Co. giving numbers which# shares. though this property stand in the name of "Brown" but through some accident to "Brown" the Bank or the Steamer Co. declares the said shares forfeited, they having a prior lien therespon. Here again" serious trouble; litigation and loss would ensue and innocent men would suffer.

In the case of the death of a large share operator there would be delay in the fulfil ment of contracts and possibly worse, where the numbers of the shares are entered therein as in most Instances considerable time elapses before Letters of Administration can be obtained, shares are not tendered on due date and the contract is broken.

I have been unable to go into the matter fully and thoroughly but i think the few illustrations I have given, and there must be many more, will show how very unjustly this act will affect perfectly. Innocent men.
