We use the word "equity" advisedly, although it is not fashionable to regard opium bouse keepers as WHY, TO CHAZALON & CO., being entitled to any of that consideration that has perforce to be meted out to their counter, paris in other countries, the proprietors of public-husea or bass. These people have | FRENCH BONBONS, hitherto been plying a trade na legitimate as and no less unedifying than the retailing of alcoholic drinks; and while it may be in keep ing with Chinese nieasures to close down their business arbitrantly, we believe it to be more consonant with British equity, when there can be no question of compensation to, give them to obtain other means of livelihood. Here tooʻ we find the strongest justification for gradual suppression instead of total abolition at one and the same time. There, will be a smaller number of people thrown simultaneously upon their own resources (which are more likely to make for evil than for good), with less disloca", tion⚫f the ordered routine of Sestlement life.

In a matter of this nature it is well to face honestly all the facts of the case. We approve of the moden dieedi as outlined above, not on lofly, moral grounds, but for purely selfish reasons. The anti-opium crusade has been allowed to run off at a tangeni, until it becomes necessary for this community solely in the in- terests of peace and smooth government to accept the lead given in it and to close down

the apium houses-with-as- fitfi, delay as pos- sible. But let no one lay too flattering unction fo his soul for the step. If those who have LOUSES in AUSTIN AVENUE, Kowloon brought it about have not actually done a día
