The new Governor, Colonel Pompe, is apparently following a mild policy towards the hostile Achineas, which those who have a thorough knowledge of the land and people, say wil only end in disappolament as, in their opinion, er nciliation will never win over the enemy. "The latter makes no friendly advances.

The time has long since gone by for any power claiming to be a civilized Govern and any Government of the present day attempting the reintroduction of such a pernicious system in England would promptly ensure its own destruction, if it did not lead to revolutionary feelings in the country,

It is greatly to be deplored that the system, which creates monopoly, and farms the Opium Tax amounting to about half à million dollars per annum, cannot be disassociated with the bolstering up of a vast amount of vica and immorality, or rendered inseparable from grave abutes.

A monopoly is not permissible in Hongkong. It could only be tolerated where the governing authority is hopelessly at fault where such a system may be looked upon as the lesser of two- evils,

This proposed, oplum monopoly may bo regarded as approaching a confession of weak. rest and incapacity to grapple with the subject, for it is a lax and an unconstitutional method of Government. It will legally settle a monopo Het in our midst, the Oplum Farmer and a tribe of middlemen who have to make profit somehow, for it is scarcely conceivable that the Oplum Farmer will pay the Government about half a million Dollars a year, for the Oplam Monopoly out of philanthropic Messrs.
