Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition OF the Surplus in the
u. 5. Treasury engages the attention of
our Statesmen, but a more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc-
tion of the Surplus Consumptiyes. Since
the discovery and introduction of DIR.
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, there has been a marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible to still further re-
duce the number of Consumptiyes.
How? By keeping constantly at hand
a bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
sucl as Cough, Cold, Sore Throat,
Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
cure is guaranteed.

How The Chinese Come In.

San FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.-The Chi
nese question is one Of great interest
here, but just at present interest GEN.
ters in the efforts at British Columbia
and Mexican ports to keep out the
Mongolians. Henry T. Byers, a mer-
chant of Westminster. B. O., is now
here, and having been recently along
the British Columbia line, what he
says is of interest. He states that
Chinese are evading the Scott law and
crossing the northern boundary and
coming down into the Pacific coast
territories and states from the British
possession by hundreds. "They are
gwen pointers by their countrymen
residing there, and they manage, at
their leisure, by taking boats for New
Westminster and Vancouver, to work
their way down into the American
possessions. Some of them board
Canadian Pacific cars and run out q
way to small stations, where, debark-
ing, they make their way through the
woods to your American towns.
"The American officials along there
do not in the least stand in the way
of the Chinese. The officials are few
and far between. Nobody sees these
Chinese except few wood choppers,
and they have no power and little in
clination to do anything with them.
As for the citizens north of the Wash
ington territory boundary. I am free
to say that they hail with gladness
the exodus, and of course do not feel
like lifting a finger to detain them.
We have no more use for them than
you have. / have known them to go
as far out as Banff, new summer
watering place on the Canadian Pa
cific. From there it is but twenty
miles to Fort Colville, and within
easy reach of Spokane Falls and the
railroad and mining operations of
that vicinity. A fair percentage stop
there, but most of them drift down
between the Coast and Cascade ranges
to Seattle, Port Blakeley, Port Madi-
son, Tacoma and Portland. By more
crooked ways they reach Port Town
send, Seattle and other Puget sound
towns direct from Victoria. Boats
are now, and for two or three years
have been kept by INSCRIPTIONS men
at Victoria, and these do nothing else
but carry Chinese over. They do il
for from 500 to $50 each. The danger
of detection is not great. In New
Westminster We often have fifteen or
twenty raw Cinnamon come into town
in day. They will be the rankest
of coolies, probably not being sixty
days out of Pekin. They will linger
about there for few hours, and then
take a straight line for the Sound.
1t is the same way at Vancouver and
about Nanaimo. There ought 10 be
more government officials in these
northern woods and along the Sound
as WE'LL"

Wise Words.

The rose grows among the thorns
Where content is, there is feast.
Steal the goose and give the giblets
in aims.
When the head is sick the whole
body is sick.
The envious man s face grows sharp
and his eyes big.
Necessity is the argument of tyrants
It ia the creed of slaves.
BY the very constitution Of our ma
ture, moral evil is its own curse.
He who throws himself under the
bench will be left to lie there.
The place honors not the man, tbs
the man who gives honor to the place.
The thief who finds no opportunity
to steal considers hin elf an honest
man.
Thy friend has friend, and thy
friends friend has friend; be dis
Greet.
When thou art the only purchaser,
then buy; when other buyers are pres
emit be thou nobody.
AS the old man grows more and
more laundering, II he will grow more
careful, it will go far to counterbalance
that infrnity.
Repent the day before thy death.
Consider every day as possibly your
last, and be ever prepared through
penitence-
A good name when deserved gives
a strength and mild courage, quiet
boldness and modest assurance, which
are worth all that they cost.
It is no great matter to live loving
ly with good natured, humble and
meek persons; but he who can do 80
with the froward, wil.ul, ignorant
peevish and perverse hath true ohari-
ty.

Coincidence.

The Frederick Times calls atten-
ton to the fact that "Chief Judge
John Richie, of the Circuit Court of
Frederick county, died on the Goth
day of October, 1883, and was buried
on the 29th, Ex-Gov. Hamilton act
ing as one of the pail bearers. 1t is
strange coincidence that just one
year from the date ofJudge Ritchie's
death the Ex-Governor died, and
just one year from the date of Judge
Ritchies funeral. which was the oc-
casion of the Ex-Governor's visit to
Frederick, the Ex-Governor himself
should be laid away forever

Two from the School Room.

A teacher in q city near New York
had a small class in easy physiology.
They had had several lessons on the
ear, and had been SO thoroughly drill
ed on the names and uses of all it's
parts, that when some visitors drop
ped in the teacher was glad it happen
ed to be the hour for this class to re-
cite. After asking several questions,
and receiving prompt and correct an
swers, she said: "What il tbs name
of the canal in the ear 2"
The child hesitated q moment, and
then spoke up, loud and plain: ''The
Erie canal"
me ylslUors thvu5ht n H. :-1ssnd
by the sound it was no wonder the
child thought the Erie canal ought to
be in the ear, and were, perhaps, bet
ter pleased than the teacher was with
the answer.
Another teacher in the same city
asked one of her scholars the mean
ing Of the word ''yicissitude.
Change" was the reply.
THAT is right, " said the teach
