Messrs. Spottiswoode & Co, have just published their English Club Directory for 1893, giving a list of "clubs frequented by the English In all parts of the world." This handy life pocket guide is practically perfect as segands London and the provinces, and (as far as we can say) equally complete and rellable for Europe; but out here in the Far East, as perhaps is only to be expected, there are not a few minor clubs which should have a place in the list. All the principal clubs are given, bat we would advise all accretaries to look up the list and make sure that next year there are no omissions at all.

Hongkong is that taxation does not always Imply representation-that. In fact, It never has done so at all in this part of the world. The reason is not far to seek; the principle of representative Government is based on the right of revolution-If the people cannot obtain a hearing, they can refuse to pay the taxes. That is the root of the matter, put plainly and briefly, Of course, the right of revolution dosa not become a right until it succeeds; prior to that point it is sedition and rascality. In Hongkong It has not yet developed-not more than half a dozen men in the Colony have the courage of their opinions, and these few know that they are too weak to do anything unaided.
