THE OPIUM QUESTION.

Scepticism at Home.

Tho promulgation of furtheredictsagainst the opium habit in China would seen to indicate that the spirit which initiated the edicta of 1903 is still at work says the "L. and . Express." It is the inequalities of the performances according to the vigour or apathy of the local offionis that gires cause for anxiety to those who wish well to China in her crusade. The cornepondent | of "The Times" at Shanghai in an interest- ing letter on the subject, points out that respectable Chinese are now coming to regard opium smoking in public as bad form. If public opinion in this way ev forces the edicts, it will be a pront factor. There is evidence of a genuine mor awakening in this respect, which may be ascribed in no sauall degree to the reffer influence of the Imperial decrees. If, instead of optura leging, as it has 818been the habit hitherto, given

extirotica of the opion habit is the extent of the reduction of the area under poppy growth. China, we have often hari coun- siun to rensuck, is a min prona to inguagnificent procepts, which sadly foll away in the practice. The editts Show us the precepts truly enough, though we have yet to seek the setion in entire accordance Therewith. In some districts we do not doubt that the edict is iade to ran, but we feel much doubt about many other localities.

POLITICS AND THE GUN.

A man who is a friend of ex-President Clorehand tells a good story in connection- with a hunting trip, that Clergland once took through the Adirondack: region.

It appance at the former President ad ny his guide an eccentric character nared Chick Bruce, Chick was entirely without awe in the presence of distinguish" | ed persons 385 when he observed the President holding the gun in what soome to be a specially careless fashion, the woods-" nau expressed himself rather freely.

"Here" he exclaimed, what are yo doin', sir, pointin' your gun at yourself in' that way?"

:

Cleveland meekly inquired the cause of the aduucnition.

"What's the rastter" repeated the guide indignantly. Don't you let the nuzzle of that gun ever point in your own difeeTM tion when I'm around: Suppose the blamed thing should go off! That would put me juanio fix, wouldn't it?-me a black ) Republican, and you a Democrat."

Commenting on the good decline in fue trade returns for the month of March, home paper points out flat there was a big decrease in the experts of eatton yarn and twist. The Straits Settlements alone showed a slight increase, while China's pur- chaves fell over 350,000 lber and those of Mapan ospe 70,000. Turning to the cotton piece, gonds fixtures, a considuuble skrinkage is abso shown, there being a decrease of 1,000,000 yards "cach in the enre of the Dutch East Indies and the Straits Settlements.
