This is no exaggerated account of what has frequently taken place in our harbour of late, and if this is a picture of voluntary emigration in this great and important British colony to-day, what, we may well ask, is it likely to be at coast ports like Amoy and Swatow, where, as matter of fact, no regulations, or only regu lations of such an elastic character as to be capable of extension from pole to pole, exist?

We preferred before placing faith in mere rumour to await the results of further investigations, which now, we regret to say, strengthen the opinion that a slave traffic, little less debasing in degree than that existing a quarter of a century ago, is being vigor- ously carried on. Some people may question our province to challenge the right of the Chinese authorities in Swatow and Amoy to foster this detestable business, the more especially as slavery in a certain form exists in every Chinese household; nevertheless, we do so challenge their right, and content ourselves for the nonce In doing so simply on the ground that their action in this respect as nelghbours, and we may say friendly neighbours, in a measure, renders futile the efforts of our Executive in the suppression of this nefarious traffic. We are aware it is a matter affecting the Chinese prin- cipally, but its debasing influence has an overwhelming and injurious effect upon civilisation. Not that any high or moral considerations are likely to lofluence our Chinese friends, umil some great catas- trophe occurs involving the massacre of an entire vessel's crew and the destruction of its living freight; then, and not until then, will" (Chinese) history repeat itself; the vermillion pencil will be sharpened and set to work in characteristic style.
