The Piracy.

It is almost incredible that fifty armed men could board a steamer in the harbour of Hong- kong without being detected, bat such has happened on two necasions quite recently. No re- flotion however can be cast upon the police. They do their duty, we believe, as far as they are able, and it is up to those who are immediately responsible, for the safety of ships in these watora to take ordinary precau tions; and lend the police

According to the Department's own showing the profita during the past ten years amount to about Tle. 700,000, but all the surpluses year after year have been added to the capita, thus reducing the borrowing. Some figures are given in the Municipal Gazette for March 12th which show the trémend us/development in the business which has taken place in the last few years In 1010 the units Fold totalled 624150. in 1913 the total was 21,000

The Electrical En gineer in his last Report says Among other things that it be possible to make a reduction in the extremely low price now charged for current to the lighting consumer. On this our Shanghai contemporary remarks, No doubt the Council would make. ench a reduction. But would a pri vate company,enjnying a complete monopoly?" General experience, however, does ant go to prove that municipal bodies are able to carry on such enterprises as successfully and as satisfactorily as private companies, but the contrast presented between the charges of the Electricity De-. partment in Shanghai and those of the Electric Light Co. of Hongkong (27 cents. per unit are very atriking, and unfortun ately the ratepavers of Shanghai cannot look to Hongkong for any evidence that the transfer of the Electricity supply of the Munici pality to a private Company will be to their advantage.

In what may be termed a general ediot, the President not only deals with this particular case, but in...... struota all the Governors General. throughout the Republic to take special care that such dangerous atrocities against Foreigners bre avoided at all costs. The native papers, we are glad to note, are also on the alert, and are advocat [ing the same care.
