 This will many American citizens bitter blow coming from the 'heathen Chinee" who is of all men living the most natural and inveterate gambler, who has been regarded in America employing a particular high standard of morals any how To find that China still permits her native while barring what New York judge recently defended "a gentleman's game of chance"-it is too much.
 No doubt, though the Chinese government is serious about The Chinese government is serious about every thing And in the matter of moral reform, it has really notable achievements its credit There is the opium traffic, for example. Our and national trying restrict and regulate the of opium and it's products in this country. with view its abolition except strictly medical purposes China beat that reform by many years And if to rub it in she has been complaining that, she eliminates opium undOing her benefcent work by delugng China with American cigarettes.

 For generation conflicting laws and vexatious local regulations have prevented the full development mercial financial and social intercourse between the United States and Central and South America.
