that the opium shops have heretofore multiplied and flourished unchecked by any impoat. They have, we are told, paid a cer tain squeeze to the mandarins all along, but it bas never yet been an officially recognised thing, and we are not aware that such tax has figured in the receipts of the Provincial Treasury. The policy of the Chinese Go. vernment has been to ignore, as much as possible, the existenes of the habit of opium smoking, and, though permitted freely enough, it has for the most part been indulged in quietly if not secretly. But that policy has been changed by the authorition of Kwangtung.
