Sir-Now that through the re- port of the S.P.C., and press com-. ments thereon, the awful poverty existing our midst always with us, but no often forgotten-has once again been brought to public notice, the writer would like to re- fer to a matter on which he feels deeply, connected therewith-ho refers to what he considers the un- Just and unnecessary Aning of those members of this unfortunate community found guilty of petty delinquency.

From information kiven by the actual employers it would seem that for repairing 60 large natka-- by hand or cutting out 333 cloth shoo insolen, women workers are paid the vente wage of 20 cents, and the report of the S.P.C. assures us that in this Colony of numerous 4-figures-aslaried folk thousands have to provide food, lodging fuel and clothing from a total monthly wage of but $3 or $4, or in many enses even nothing at all.

To the atudent of human nature one of the most striking features af Hongkong is the importance trivialities assume here in the nf- fairs of men. Divorced from the grent issues of life and death, sure- ly in no other place under Heaven

guess in a thousand years, cutting some of those rushes that grow in the Colony's watercourses, and are used as string by hawkers and Chinese shopkeepers. Police office ra has assured the writer that they expect from their subordinates a certain number of "eases" per month. This expectation would ample account for the police court fine puerility complained of. varying from $1 to $10 would sceni to be the usual imposition in these

cases,

Now, while a fine of $5 or $10 to a wealthy motor owner is a mere im- bagatelle, a similar fine prisonment to members of the submerged tenth under discussion, must often be, in sober earnest, to them and their dependants, n real matter of life and death. Every instinct of humanity, of justice. of right-cousness....ay, and of patriotism, too, for to-day through- out the entire world are
