That it may apply to a section of a Chinese mining population who frequent the gaming table is more than likely; but then exactly the same allegations could with equal correctness be applied, not merely to foreign miners of all nationalities, but also to certain sections of the fashionable populations

The Chinese may not be a desirable mining population for the Straits Settlements, although it is worthy of remark that they appear to be made welcome by the Government, and Colonel WALKI may probably have good reasons for the very unfavorable opinions he has thought fit to be as well to recognise that there is a a happy medium even in hostile animad version, and in this case that happy medium has been greatly exceeded.

Illogical gem, which sounds not altogether unfamiliar, would be an effective aphorism if it contained even a substratum of possible truth; but in its nakedness it stands an impossible proposition based on nothing. If crime with a Chinese mining population moans progress, what does it mean with Bay other population, and why? Perhaps Colonel WALKER will explain in his next official report
