OUR PATERNAL GOVERNMENT

AGAIN!

It has been said more than once in the coarse of the contest between the official and anefidat elements on the Sanitary Board that the worst offender to the colony against the rules of sanitary science was the Government Itself, and that little or no progress would be made in the effective enforcement of these cules until the Director of Pablle Works had been summoned before a Police Magistrate and punished for the Creation and maintenance of Insanitary nuisances. A well-known case in polat, referred to by "BROWN" in last Saturday's issue of the China Mall, in that of SASSOON's corner of the Fraya. It was offensiva two years ago. It is equally offensive now, and the Public Works Depart sent, in spite of repeated complaints and remonstrances, has never done anything to remedy the nuisance. The smells from the public sewers in parts of the town where all private drains have long been constructed on the separate system are still most annoying, and there is no honest attempt to improve them. Perhaps the very worst cases of over-crowding, want of proper drainage, and filis discovered during the plague months in 1894, were in Government buildings. Nothing could surpass In these respects the basement of the Post Office, Another sample of Government neglect has turned up just now. There is a road constructed some years ago by the P.W.D, leading from Nowhere to Nowhere. It is to be found, sought for, between the Kennedy and Bowen

SHANGHAI, June 11th.- We have information from Peking that tha cascession to Hon. Dr. Ro Kal and the Can- tonese Syndicate for the construction of a tine of rallway from Linokochlao at Peking to Canton has been now completed. The cost of thellae is estimated at forty million teels, and the guarantee payment of ten millions has already been made over to the Government at Peking by those interested. We hear the money was found by an English Syndicate.

SHANGHAI, June 12th,

We are given to undersland that the guaranter money for the building of the Peking-Canton Railway, which we mentioned in our last fasuo, has not been actually paid over to the officials, but has been deposited. The Hon. Dr. Ho Kal does not etre to hand the money over ill. an Imperial Decree regarding the same has been issued.
