PROWLERS.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-A few days
aaggs, during broad daylight, silver
watch and fifty dollars in money
were stolen from the room of Chi
nese cook on the plains. The night
after futile attempt was made to
purloin the poultry of a Nuuanu
street resident. The hasp and
staple of the coop evinced that an
effort had been made to force them
off. Failing to effect an entrance
thus half a dozen stats were pried
nearly off, but just then an appari,
tion appeared upon the scene and
the fowl thief desisted. There are
numbers of unemployed Chinese
wandering about town, and, poultry
being in demand we must expect
vlsitations of this nature. 1t would
be well, perhaps, if the community
were prepared to receive the noe
turnal prowlers with warm recep-
ton, or secure their property against
midnight marauders.

rose upon their stomachs. 1t would
never do, they thought, that drap-
er's assistant should govern so i'm
portant a commonwealth as Queens
land, and hence the protest of their
Premier.
When the Queensland protest ar
rived in England, the Opposition"
moved adjournment Of the House to
ascertain the views of the Cabinet
regarding the appointments of Colo
nial governors, and this led imme-
diately to the cancellation of the APP
pointment.
In the present stage of the 1mpe-
rial federation movement it will not
do to offend the colonies; and as
drapers' assistants are not consider
ed by the colonists suitable material
of which to make governors, John
Bull must send them lords of some
kind who must be to the manner
born, even although their heads may
resemble the consistency of turnips.
The inference TO be drawn from
this recent action of Queensland is
that the colonies will soon be in full
political partnership with the island
of Great Britain, and send voting
representatives to the Imperial par
lament; while they will have home
rule in their respective dominions,
with all its freedom and RESPONSE
bilities. The colonial questions OF
protection and commerce are in q
fair way of being arranged; and at
heart the Australians of all the colo
nies, are very loyal TO the nation
from which they sprang. The i'm
migration is nearly all from the Bri'
tish Isles; and the people partake
largely of the British spirit of free
dom, combined with due respect
for law, order and the institutions
imported from the Mother country

AUSTRALIAN ADVANCEMENT.

EDITOR BULLETIN Since consti-
tutions were granted by the Mother
country to the Australian colonies,
over thirty years ago, all the higher
government officials of the several
colonies, except in Western Austria
liza and Fiji, have been chosen by
the colonists. The governors only
were appointed in England; but,
by the last mail from Sydney, we
learn that even this choice will in
the near future be given to the Aus
tralians.
About two months ago the Impe-
rial Government appointed Sir
Henry Blake as governor of Queens
land and Sir Thomas McIlwraith,
the Premier of that colony, objected
to the appointment with the concur
renee of his colleagues. The text
of the objections have not been pub
Iished, but the appointment of Sir
Henry Blake was Immediately can
celled. The Australians have as
much yeneration for lord as have
the most "jingo" Englishmen; and

Queenslanders that Sir Henry Blake
was formerly draper's assistant in
