We may furthermore observe that. while Of
present, the government is defrauded by these
opium smuggling transactions ON a large scale, the
legal sale of the opium licenses under previous
legislation brought into the Treasury as much as
S25 900 yearly. For practical legislators. free
from the influence of Ethiopian ideas, and i'm
practicable abstract moral principles, we believe
that the expediency Of an alteration in the present
legislation In the matter of opium, must be ap-
parent and that q return TO the previous leglsia-
torial enactment, abolished By the act of 1874,
is the only possible way Of graphing with this
evil, thereby coufning the practice 10 the

pernicious indulgence. Thus, there would be
far less danger than at present of the Hawaiians
getting hold of the opium, inasmuch as the legal
Chinese vendors would have too decided an inter
