GOVERNOR'S VISIT.

SHANGHAI TRIBUTE TO

HIS EXCELLENCY.

During the next few days Shang- bat will emulate other, cities, and accord the hospitality of a most hospitable community to a Bri- tish administrator who has been honoured by his King and Inuded by his people, says the Shanghai Mercury of Wednesday. For many years the name of Sir Cecil Clementi has bben closely asso- cinted with the Crown Colony st Hongkong, and as one who has shown executive brilliance and sympathetic interest in "all that affects the southern port, it is not surprising that Tokyo and Peking have evinced refreshing cordiality. over the visit of His Excellency. the Governor of Hongkong.

As Britishers we have just cause, for pride in pointing to the dut. post of empire in the south. The Island and the "territory across the harbour testify to that which signifies the grandeur of enter- prise and the greatness of empire, and withal there remains the fundamental fact that administra- tion is untainted.

Recognition From Statesmen.

16

There are facts of which Bri- tishers are conscious. Enriched by this knowledge we plead to ne affection nor adulation in welcom ing into our midst a gentleman who merits the respect of his con- patriots us he has so worthily com- manded recognition from states-

men.

When he enters the port Sir Cecil Clementi will have the satis- faction shared by other distin guished visitors that this stately city was founded by his kins- men, and then, magnanimously, converted into an International Settlement which has developed into a veritable Alsatia for poli- tical refugees and in Eldorado' for commercial princes.

.

Shanghai's commercial men... representative of the British com- munity-will honour themselves as they will honour him when they entertain their gifted guest, and it is possible some chaste ag- knowledgment will be made of the proverbial hospitality of this Manchester of the East..

Profit by Utterances. We shall profit by the utteran ces of a man who is burdened with thoughts of the restless East, claims close arquaintance with truths, and can clothe his ideas in attractive "raiment. There are times when we regret the disinterestedness of British statesmen-we almost pleaded the ignorance and the alienation of all those ties which should close- ly hind the overseas communities to the mother country. Not for moment should we doubt the interest of Imperialists at home as well as abroad.

Peace and Order. We do not stand alone in our Acknowledgment of indebtedness. A Peking editor, a few days ago, felt impelled to indite an article captioned "This Pence," and re- viewing a visit to the capital Paid: "Sir Cecil Clementi. Gov- ernor of Hongkong, told Premier Pan F and members of his Cabinet at dinner here the other night, that peace and order were the necessary controls to pr sperity in China. These senti ments are not original; they are good, honest bromides; every por tentous speaker would be rolled upon to say the same thing.
