Now we do not pretend to hold a brief for Borneo nor to offer gratuitous advice, which we know will not be taken, to the shining commercial lights of Hongkong.

story, however, was different and deserves to be put on record, both as a warning to future investors and as a vindication of Borneo's much-maligned character.

BAIL AT LAST.
The country was new and everyone en- tertained high hopes of a flourishing future being before it. Tobacco, coffee, cocoa and other tropical products were known to grow well, and, the country being un- explored, endless possibilitles of new dis- coveries presented themselves to the Sanguine minds of the Bornean ploneers. Unfortunately for the country, and, as it afterwards proved, for everyo e else con- cerned, a class of speculators arrived whose one idea was to make as much as they could out of the country, and, having feathered their own nests, to let the other folks get along as best they could. These to a pence, were the men who took up large land concessions, and their methods of procedure left little doubt in the minds of those who knew the country as to the ultimate result of the enterprises floated by them.
As an instance of the way things went on, we may say that a man who knew nothing whatever of the country or its people would come to take up tobacco
