Ir the suggestion made elsewhere by a correspondent, be correct-and we are strongly inclined to believe that it is so, seeing that the so-called "piracy" was looked for long before it was actually announced the remarks of our morning contemporary sound strangely out of place.

of the cases of so-called piracy which have been noticed in these columns tend to strengthen the opinion that, not only do the officials join with piratically- inclined natives, bus they generally contrive to screen them from justice when the French officials arouse them- selves for a moment and endeavour to inflict deserved punishment. It speaks a good deal for the resources of Tonquin that, spite of such difficulties as these and others, the trade in that direction is growing and likely to flourish. What- ever may be done to improve matters- whether by reform within or pressure from without the action must in some way reach the petty officials, else trade there will never attain to its legitimate expansion. The so-called "pirates" are not far to seek.

THERE is one point in the C. D. 0. discussion which demands some con-

sideration. It is known that the system of informers—which is presumably the most "revolting" feature of the Act has been put an end to by the present Governor. This must be what" Lord Kimberley alluded to when he said that the system of "inspection" had been stopped some time ago. The result of doing away with informors, while the Registrar General is not permitted to exercise any other teat wherewith to check unlicensed prostitution, is, that the latter evil is becoming alarmingly prevalent. It is exceedingly strange that so much objection should be taken to the revolting" modes by which an absolutely necessary law of sanitation is to be enforced when the subjects treated are Chinese, while measures of a much more sweeping nature are applied to women in the garrison
