THE CHINESE PETITION RE
THE GOVERNOR,
The publication of the Chinese petition, after it was transmitted to the Secretary of State for the Colanics, praying for an extension of His Excellency the Governor's terin of office in Hongkong, called forth some very severe strictures from our two contemporaries on the text of the petition as viewed in the light of public opinion which our contemporaries represent. We, on the other hand, indulged in no violent diatribe
the unsatisfactory representation of Chinese interests by their two members on the Legislative Council. It should not be diffi. cult to deduce the whys and wherefores that prompted the change of front on the part of the spokesman on the occasion of the presentation of the address to the departing M. L. C. In the present case, Mr. Ho Kom Tong asked for a copy of the petition, but did not get it. We can positively assert, without fear, of cou- tradiction, that we applied for a copy of the petition from a quarter whence it could have been supplied to us without difficulty, if only the nawarrantable anxiety for secrecy had been set aside. No; the contents of this precious document to the promoters could not be divulged and the candid reason

Such a translation might have been made, but the fact remains that few of the signatories knew anything of the context of the document before it was published in the papers. It is, however, pertinent to inquire whether it is at all likely, that Mr. Chan Pak of the Chung Awok Pa, who undertook the translation, would have waited eight days after the presentation of the petition and four days after the publication of the English text in our issue before publishing the translation in his own paper on the 7th instant.
