Colony; but he dare not hold up his head and answer the question. Instead, he runs off at a tangent and quotes more figures, to prove that two great Banks have not falled among us, to discount the smash of Ave Chinese banks, ich have killed yes, failure of hopes killed I-some of the best among us, and seriously injured every one in the Colony. Mr. O'BRIEN denies this, and says that only one or two gamblers have been losing; he appeals to the Chinese Customs returns. Very good. We will follow him into every corner and drive him out. Here are Customs returns for him. Mr. BazDON, In 1890 competed and won against FOUR of Commissioner of Customs at Shanghai, in the most famed Belfast makers.

his report on 1891 says:-

WE have always made good GINGER ALE, and we are now making the best. At various exhibliions and competitions to London and elsewhere, GINGER ALE madą by the formula we now use has won 32 Prise MEDALS and CERTIFICATES of MERIT.

reported only 30 per cent; but according to the despatches of the Secretary, of State, the onus of proving continued high rents, from year to year, rests with the officials, so that they have no right to draw the higher salaries until they have proved high rents in any year. But even walving that point, even allowing the onus of proof to be shirked and shifted on to the shoulders of the Unofficials, we claim that the case is already complete. Mr. CHATTE has declared that as far as his know- ledge goes, (and that is a good deal) rents are down to the 1889 level, except in a few special instances from extraneous causes. That ought to be enough; but if not, if the Government wish for complete figures, there is an Assessment Office, in which every house and every plot of land is valued each year. If the Colonial

But until then, as long as the Government continue these cowardly, dishonourable tactics, insulting men who are in a helpless minority, and arguing by the column for away from the point, we shall maintain our ground to the bitter end. We predicted trouble before the Session began; our prediction was, we now belleve, based on a slight miscon- ception; but it has already come true in a remarkable degree. Now we venture on another prediction-that the trouble will only end in victory for us, for the unoffi- cials and people of Hongkong, that the Government will yet have to swallow more than it has already swallowed, and that it will not be the Unofficials, but the Government that will have to make the apology which it so haughtily demanded.

MR. O'BRIEN'S FIGURES.

On Wednesday last the Colonial Secre- tary said in the Legislative Council thật not one of the facts, figures, or arguments adduced by him in his great "Christy Minstrel speech of November 30th had been assalled or contradicted, nor had even an attempt been made to dispute the soundness of his position. Further, he asserted that his statements had been strengthened by the report of the Com missioner of Customs for Kowloon, which showed a great Increase in the volume of trade. Now, in the first place it was not true that his speech stood unchallenged. Of course, nobody denies that he quoted the figures correctly-s parrot could do that, with just as humorous effects; but his figures had nothing to do with the' case. We have over and over again in these columns proved this plainly enough even for a man of the average Govern. ment ability to understand. Apparently Mr. O'BRIEN, deliberately walks away from the contest, secure in the power of that Official Majority which Sir W.
