NOTES BY THE WAY,

CRITICS OF THE GOVERNMENT,

The usofficial members of the Legislative Cenacil confines to amuse themseen by directing stray abatte at the contents of that Piula bilisi divi of anticipated surprises known a Hongkong's budget. The Eximates Bill has not yet passed through all his stages and while it is undergoing its usual ordeal, it is in teresting to observe the views of the unofficial members of Hongkong's legislative body. At the last misting of Council on Thursday afternoon, the hon. member representing the Chamber of Commerce waxed lndignast over the shabby treatment meted out to the Colony by the Imperial Goverement with zard so the cplum question. The rubs antial contribu- tion of which so much was made now appears to be the sum of abeu: a' lakh of«dullats. That may appear equitable in the eyes of the Im perial authorities but the latter's attitude of Faughty indifference does rat rxretly coincide with the views of the untfficial members of Council by reason of the fact that the fosice Securied in respect of revenue derivable from the opium, traffic ara much greater ibit the amount of compensation voted by the Houss of Cimmons, which can therefore scarcely be considered' adeqaste for the Col. eny's crying peads. However, it is so likely that our voices will reach the distant wall, of Westminster, Tima zlore will demonstrate the fallacy or otherwise of a policy which has bien oply described in the words "0.br ptop'e's morala and our money."
