He professed to be doubtful on this point, but he agreed, rather willingly, to all appearances, to settle the doubt by not voting, so that the Unofficials were in a majority. He could, of course, have settled it the other way by getting His Excellency to appoint an Official in place of Mr. Lxicu when that gentleman was so unfortunately laid up; or the meeting might have been held over. Either course would have resulted in the wholesale retrenchment scheme being In 180 compered and won against FOUR of nipped in the bud by the Official Phalanx, since the Unofficials would not have had a majority. Retrenchment, however, is the Governor's motto, even to the extent of resisting the Secretary of State to the utmost of his lawful ability in case of emergency, as the Colonial Secretary sald (with His Excellency'i authority, of course) In the debate on the item for Volunteers, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON there. | ford must strongly

taint of foolishness which has characterised all the policy of the Hongkong Govern- ment during recent years until now, when a better era is dawning. It was a thousand pities that the 30 per cent, increase was granted, just when the insane boom was already beginning to collapse; but so very many mad things were done then, by all of us as well as by the Government, that really we have little right to throw stones at them. It is enough that a time has come when our eyes are opened; we will have no more of such things. After three years of steady, persistent adversity, it is at last evident to everybody that the most stringent economy is necessary, and that if the shoe pinches here and there, it must just go on pinching, and we must grin and bear it.
