Columns in regard tothis transaction are published every day in the papers, throwing lighton some new phase of it, keeping the public constantly informedregarding it, and asking the people at large to consider well theadvisability of allying themselves with such friends as the French andEnglish have proved within the last few months. Thus, in regard to theopium deal we read: High Official Offered Bribe of $5, 000, 000. A report is current in the Capital that some time ago, a man representing hi...mself as the Manager of the Shanghai Opium Combine, approached a certain high official and solicited his good offices in consummating the opium transaction, which is now being carried out by the Vice President. According to the paper, the man promised the high official five million dollars as a "birthday present, " a euphemistic term for bribery in this country, if the Combine, through his influence, succeeded in concluding a deal with the Government. The attempt fell through because the high official is too honest to be thus corrupted.
