THE EMPIRE COMEDY CO.

As announced.clsewhere, the above company opens its season at the City Hall on the 22nd instant. The company - comes here from. Manila, where a successful run has been made, and the Manila papers seem sorry to part with the various members. As it is some time since we have had a dramatic company of any sort in Hongkong, the opening night will doubtless be looked forward to with interest, and a good house should result. At all events, a variety show is a class of entertainment, which we do not often meet with in Hongkong, and for this reason alone it should prove attractive.

THE HONGKONG STEAM WATER-

! BOAT CO., LIMITED,

The following is the Report for Presentation to Shareholders at the first annual general meeting to be held at the Company's office No. 20, Des Voeux Road, at noon, on Monday, the 25th November.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S

POLICY.

AWISE DECISION.

The appointments made by President Roose- | volt since his necession to office were extremely startling to the ordinary Republican politician, says the Morning Pork, but the language with our which Washington Correspondent reports that the President has followed up his choice of public servants amounts to a positive revolution— in American politics. He declared in the first instance that he would, only appointmenTM whom he believed to be best qualified for each post, quite irrespective of party. This was in itself a very notable departure from the policy reco,nised for some eighty years past and known as the "spoils system." Fit men, it was assumed, must be chosen, but they must belong to the party who had a majority at the last Presidential election. There was, therefore, much commotion among the pro fessional politicians at this proclamation of Presidential responsibility, but there was still room for transactions. In theory the Constitu- tion requires the President to be satisfied that each person appointed is pre-eminently qualified to serve his country, but how is he to obtain this knowledge? Even if a Democrat of great distinction received an appoint- men here and there the Senators and members of the House of Representatives thought they would still have useful work to do in keeping the President informed on the quali. fications of candidates. They have crowded to the White House, not in the best of tempers, perhaps, yet more eager than ever to assert their influence on official nominations. Totheirpersis. tent offers of help and their veiled remonstrance Mr.Roosevelt replied at first with good-humour- ed sarcasm, but his patience at length became exhausted, and he has announced that he will" exercise his powers of appointment without consulting members of Congress. This raises" formally the controversy which was foreseen by Senators Platt and Conklin when President Gar- field appointed to the Collectorship of New York a man who had not asked the 'support of the 3,510.00 Republican Senators. The Republican Party 1,500.00 of New York was rent in twain by the contro-

THE REFORM OF THE ARMY MEDICAL. SERVICE.

AN EXPERT OPINION.

The ornate and comprehensive report of the Committee has now been published, and it affords evidence of a sincere desire on the part of those who were entrusted with the task to obviate the shortcomings which have virtually brought this branch of the Service into a state of bankruptcy and to reorganise the Service on a footing which, it may be hoped, will prove acceptable to medical men of a stamp likely to do honour to the army of which they form so essential a part. In discussing the scheme, for it must be borne in mind that it is only a scheme-that is to say, a series of mere recommendations--we are confronted with, the drawback that we have no guar antee that it represents even approximately the schedule of conditions to be ultimately offered.

The lay press has welcomed, the report with a chorus of praise, and affects to believe that the "concessions" are as hand- some as could possibly be wished. So they may be, but a lay opinion is here without much weight. Experience alone will show whether $58,500 oo the conditions of service, have been framed on 6,267.67 such lines as to commend themselves for accep

tance by those whom they are designed to 250.08 satisfy. One of the great aims of the Committee has been to bring the Army Medical Service. $65,107.5

into closer and more sustained relations with the profession in civil life, and therein, unques tionably, lies an element of success of consider ̈ able importance.
