THE CURSE OF CHINA.
Ra pid GrOy n of Opium.S : M ok in e
intne FIOwery Kingdom.

The growers of opium in India are
much alarmed over the rapid decrease in
their exports to China. TIE poppy
fields of tine Flowery Kingdom are
driving the foreign product from the
market. There is law in China for
bidding opium raising, but it has been a
dead-letter ever since England, simply
because she was deriving an annual III
come OF 5000, 600 from the tax on In-
dian opium, forced China to reopen her
MAJ ket to the drug.
Opium. growing for several years past
has been rapidly increasing in China.
About one third of the cultivated land
in Yunnan is now devoted to poppy
raising. Travellers describe the valleys
of Southwestern China as white with
poppy blossoms. China is now raising
about thirds of all the opium she
consumes. Other foreign opium also is
coming into competition with the In
dian product. the Mozambique Opium
Company is putting $4,000 acres of land
in the lower Ztmbesi valley into opium,
and the African product is already sell
ing in he Shanghai market.
Meanwhile the curse of opium smok
ing weighs more heavily every year upon
the people of China. One.fifth of the
population of Peking and Tientsn are
opium smokers. Ii Is said that 3006 of
the attaches of the Imperial Palace are
victims of the terrible habit. in spite of
the fact that the Chinese government
discourages the practice. There are
number of native anti.opium societies,
which are doing work in China similar
to that of our temperance unions here.
The Government has also established
large number of refugees, here victims
of the opium habit may go for treat
ment. Sedatives, stimulants and tonics
are administered to cure them of the
vice.
Great Britain herself is likely soon to
suffer some of the evils with which she
has helped to curse China. In parts of
India the opium habit is making alarm.
ing progress among the natives. The
Marquis Tseng called attention to this
TACT In a letter to the Anti Opium Soci-
ETY. of England the other day. He added
that if Great Britain would put stop
to the exportion of opium from India,
china would effectually stop the grow
ing of opium within her territories, He
said China was willing to cooperate
with Great Britain in sirikil & at the root
of the evil N. Y. Sun.

IRISH EVICTIONS.
Increase In the Number of Ten.
ants Driven from their Rentals.

When the Land Act of 1870 became O
law it was confidently expected that
there would be an early and marke ed
diminution in the number of evietions.
That expectation was not realized. 1t
was forgotten that whilst the landlord
retained the power of raising the rent,
and default meant eviction, there could
be no security. Eleven years later
Mr.. Gladstone sought to give real fixity
of tenure by means of judicial rents,
and it was once more assumed that
evictions would henceforth be few.
Again prediction has been falstied.
Whatever else the Land act of 1881 has
done for the Irish tenantry, it has not
stopped evictions. We referred the
other day to a return just published
which shows that during the half.year,
that is from January to June, no fewer
than 2007 families, or upwards of 10000
persons, were evicted. The signif-
cance OF these figures will be apparent
if we turn to the return of evictions for
the second half.year of 1880, that is for
the last complete half.year before the
passing of the Land act of 1881. In
those six months only 500 families, or
ffOl pciouus, WCro cNiCbCus luS IOtal
number of evictions for the whole year
was only 2,ll0, or l03 more than the
number for the Fix months ended June
last. Now it must be remembered that
1880 was period of exceptional dis
tress, when, owing to the failure of
crops in previous years, many of the ten
ants were at the mercy of the londlords,
who were clearing their lands of default.
ers. So serious was the state of affairs
that the Government introduced their
ill-fated Compensation bill, and in ask.
ing Parliament to sanction it Mr.. Fors.
ter rested his case mainly upon the in
crease of evictions. He showed that
whilst the average evictions for the five
years ending 1877 were SOB, in 1878 the
number rose 10 743, in 1879 to 1000, and
in the halfyear ended June, 1880,
there were no fewer than I,073 evic.
tions. But what have we now? Instead
of 1890 evictions in the hall year we
have 2007, or nearly twice that number,
and the increase is most marked, as was
to be expected, in the poorest districts.
In 1850 the total number of evictions in
Connaught was 3S7; in the first quarter
OF the present year there were 30;'
That which was feared and predicted is
AS, after the Land act Of
1870 the land hunger of the people en-
abled the landlords to exact exorbitant
rents, 90 now, when the consumptiou
