I1

The Attorney-General :-Sir, I think that this bill furnishes & good illustration ofthe advantages which a colony derives from the existence of a Secretary of State toauperintend its affairs and direct its legislation. It must be sufficiently obvious to those who have followed the debates. that if this matter had been left to the gentle- men who represent this community in Council, this bill would not have been passed, or any bili with even so limited a beneficial effect as this, Incident of changing the title illustrates, it seems The attitude of the majority with regard to the to me, the unoffirini feeling as regards this bill. They, without assigning the slightest reason, eliminated all reference to. the distinctly Christian basis on which the bill rests,

Cannot attribute that to any delicacy of feeling consequent on a desire to spare the feelings of their non-Christian fellow subjects. It is much more probable that, disliking thể bill, they show their dislike in this way, may said that the Secretary of State is dictating to this Colony and riding roughshod over the wishes of the representatives of this Council, To my mind he is

right in so doing. It is perfectly proper to leave to this Council questions of purely local concern, but when this Council has to deal with questions of Imperial policy (for lostance, such as the defences of Singapore) or questions which touch the great heart and conscience of the Billah people, then this colony must be governed in accordance- with English Ideas, and the

Secretary of State from his position. Is able to take a

more statesmanlike wider

view of what is right and proper, than a handful of European merchants whose horizon is Hanlied by their personal interests and who, as the son'ble member for the Chamber of Cora merce said, came here to make money, and as he pathetically added, to lose it also. The Secretary of State has done sightly in pressing this bill upon this colony, and I trust (although the bon'ble member for the Chamber of Com- merce somewhat cynically recommended the bil to his colleagues on the ground that if they rejected it something worse might befall them in the shape, as he termed is, of more stringent orders from the Secretary of State) that the bill will be ananimously supported. I would not such a "worse" case befalling be sorry to see such a the colony, for I trust that now this legislation bas been initiated it will not stop till every ferred upon him an indefeasible right to the European and Native Christian has had con- Chrisilan Day of Rest.
