GOVERNMENT) OR WHAT?

Az the opening of the present session of the Legislative Council, hla Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, Major-General G, Diost Barker, C.B., said :----

We meet again to-day to resume our commen labours in the interests of this colony, and though the time is probably short choring which I shall retain the privilege of co-operating with you, there are several measures demanding early consideration which I hope we may proceed in passing and, in doing so, further the good of this community.

This was unquestionably a satisfactory and encouraging preamble to a programma of legislation that had more than ordinary Interest for the living and moving portion of the Hongkong public. His Excellency In the plainest language, expressed his Intention-and-desire-of furthering the good of this community," and we have no hesitation whatever in saying that such was actually his intention and desire. But has he done so? Almost without a dissen- tient voice, the citizens of Hongkong, of 'all races and classes, hold a contrary opinion, and they are more than justified In so doing.
