(aand July.)

In a special article in our columns yester. day contributor pointed out the unfair operation of the opium law, and the hard- ship suffered by ship captains who,, through absolutely no fault of their own, are fined heavily because some cunning smuggler ha succeeded in evading his vigilance and that of his officers, and has hidden aWAY A QUED some part of the ship, and finding that he tity of oplum or other prohibited drugs in can make more money by betraying his associates, turns informer, and denounces the hiding place to Customs officer who obtain credit for their marvellous cleverness in detecting it. On the 28th of May noticed the case of the hong Moh, in which * Captain who was well known to be fa capable of breaking the law, who indeed bas correpeatedly discovered smugglers and handed them over to the Preventive Officers, who was admitted by the authority who heard the case to be without blame, in the matter, was punished, was actually fined, as if he had Deen a criminal, We protested then against the system described so our article rester day, and we suggested that it be judiciously changed. The truth is that the law, as it at present stands, ie "hit log the wrong dog." The most acute watchfulacas, the most un- tiring care, are of no avail against those dark ways-which the Oriental uses to circumvent the white men of the West. A Chinese steamship owner said to a representative of the liongkong Telegraph: "Everyone knows me, and that I have made my money beneat» y. I have no need to be a small man and break the laws and do bad things and smug- gle opium in order to make a few dollars All the Baglish people who know me know that, of course. But if I wanted to bu a' mean man and to do those curious things I could certainly smuggle forbidden stuff into one of my ships, and the captain would never know. He could never find out, if £ wanted it done." When asked how it was that another Chinese owner, just as respect- ed as he was, had been fined because opium had bead hidden in his ship, he replied that the owner was not to be blamed. He was as innocent as the innocent Captain who wasḥ fined. But in spite of every patie some smuggling was always possible. We suggested that the informer should be re- quired to divulge a great deal more than commodity. He said that it was the merely the hiding place of the smugglan business of those who made the laws to see to that." We must again lay stress on this,
