CROWN COLONIES.

Home Role seems to be the prevailing political epidemic of the day. Our Prime Minister, Mr. Gladstone, claims it for Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, and that eminent legislator, Mr. Labouchere, advocates Homer Rule for everywhere in the United Kingdom. Why, thefore, shou'd this panaces not be extended to the Crown Colorles thousands of miles away? Now, there are Crown Colonies which have good reason to complain of the treatment they have met with of late years, especially Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, and Hongkong. They have winly endeavoured to obtain some met with bat scant attention, and yet it can. consideration from Downing Street, but have not be denied that they are fully justl fied in their complaints. The abolition of the CDO, and the Military Contribution or Ex action, forced upon them gainst the unanimess protest of all, are grievances of a most signal

The fact is, as we only recently pointed out, that the present system of governing the Crown Colonies is too antiquated for the present day.
