CAUSTIC COMMENT.
"THE KINGAN OPIUM CASE. IS DEAD."
Shanghai, Dec. 13. The North China Daily News, in! a sarcastic leader, says that none' are surprised at the sudden silence which has fallen on the Klangan opium case. The first symptom of disillusionment was the dismissal of the Chief of Police, Colonel Tai Shih-fu, who was merely carrying out the orders of the Mayor of Greater Shanghai, who was atling under Nanking's instructions to suppress the oplum trade. "Tho Klangan onlum case is dond."
The N."C. D. News adds that it soems the official prerogative of opium is inviolable. Governora who should protect their neoplo, compel them to grow the nonny instead, till China literally cannot produce enough food for her needs because her generals and officials must have their opfum revenue to supply.their concubines with man- sions, motor cars and Jowels. The Chinese masses know it and will not forget, but for the time being the opium-dealing officials are safe behind their two million soldiers and willing to silence the highest In the land-Reuter.
