SOME OPPONENTS.

Among the reputed opponents
of annexation are some prominent
men who were leaders in its be
half when the Provisional Gov
ernment was administering affairs
under a tenure that was to termi-
nate only when annexation should
be achieved. Such persons are
guilty of breach of faith, it these
reports are true, at both ends of
the p. G. regime. They cannot
possibly justify their motives in
either case. Others who have
joined the reaction against the
declared policy of the p, G., per-
petuated in the Republics consti.
tuition, are to be found amongst
those who are eating the bread
of the annexation Government.
Such officials are stultifying them
selves most glaringIy, besides plac-
ing the Government that employs
them in false position. Here is
a field for action by the rejuven-
ated body taking up the annexation
campaign afiesh. Many of those
people joined nearly four years

meyer are entitled to wear big
peacock feathers in their hats for
the important seizure of Struggled
opium made by the inspectors
under their charge today. 1t is
evident that their connections on
the Coast are trustworthy, and
that they have struck leads now
that will at least prevent the pro
hibited article from being a drug
in this market. Since the seizure
of the Henrietta and punishment
of her company, rumors of strange
sails off the coast have been want
ing. 1t is known, too, that some
ceusignments of opium have en-
tered the harbor only to be car
ried out again, owing to the strict
vigilance that has prevented their
being landed. Keep it up, gentle
men, and th1 license fad will
never be resurrected.
