WHAT THEY THINK.

China Mail.

Hall and Farewellytt Speaking the other evening at the dinner given by the Chinese committee of the University Bazaar, His Excellency let drop ono pregnant romark which showed how completely all his timo had boon surrenderod to work for the Colony over since he became its Governor. He said that the number of questions presented for his consideration were so many that he had had no time for reading anything except the local papers. We can' quite believe it. It is to be hoped that a short period of rest now in- tervenon and that he will have ant opportunity of making up at least some portion of the long delayed arrears in this regard. It has been a matter for much genuine regret in the Colony that throughout His Excellonoy's stay amongst usy the condition of Lady Lugard's health his occasioned him much" acute anxiety. It is sincerely to bo hoped that removal to another elimate will effect tlio improvement which we all hope to see brought. about, and that right speedily.

The Ultimate, Goal.

Tariff Reform may lead to an improvement in the rates of wages, but in that event it would bo equally certain to lead to in- creased cost of living, and a re striction of the country's foreign trade consequent upon the en hanced cost of production. What TO-NIGHT.evor solution may now be found can be at best, we think, bat a temporary expedient. The. ul- timate goal seems to be the elimi nation of the capitalist; and it is plain that tho nationalisation of, nines is being brought within the range of practical politics by renson of the insecurity of private capital which this national strike Pi tures only. 7.15 P.M. of coal miners illustrates.

Vaccination,

Some interesting dato is fur nished in another column about the epidemic of small-pox from which the colony has suffered [44 with exceptional severity this spring. Smallpox, one of the host dreaded of diseases/iis an ananal visitor, but not for many years has it attacked Hongkong with such virulence as it has later ly manifested. The returns fur nished by the medical officer of Health are happily showing, a de- elining tendency, but the year | 1912, even if the epidemic should dow cease, will go down in the Kanale of Hongkong as one of its black years from the "mill por point of view. A well-known medical gentleman who has made the epidemio a special study in- forms us that the mortality among those affected is "somewhere in the vicinity of 73 por cen The indefiniteness of the Las made on the Provident System,ment is, of course, due to the fact (Batai and Parkdeolara on plication) the rigidity of the law on t
