THE Chinese exclusion bill may raise
questions of international Importance in
which England and not China will be
drawn into the controversy. The case
of Fong Tang, who walked across the
suspension bridge at Niagara Falls, but
was compelled to go back to Canada by
the customs officers of the United States,
is a case in point. The merchant,
Tye Chong, who wanted to come to New
York on business, but was permitted
only after considerable delay, to put
foot on American soil, is likewise in
point. These Cinnamon are natural
lied citizens of Canada and subjects Of
Great Britain. To refuse them
and others OF like political
status the right to enter the
confines of this country is an
affront to England, not to China. 1t
may be that Great Britain would accept
Americas explanation, in cas- the
question becomes one of international
inquiry, that the fact OF naturalization
or of British citizenship does not alter
the legal conditions for the exclusion
of Cinnamon. But it is highly proba-
BILE that the foreign office would de-
mand a uniform treatment of British
subjects on American soil, irrespective
of the fact whether they are white or
yellow. native or naturalized.

General HarrisOn's Speeches.

The speeches OF General Harrison are
d source of continual and gratifying
surprise. They serve not only to dem
onstrate his familiarity with all ques-
tions of Importance, but also to display
a fertility of argument and illustration
on his part which is truly remarkable.
There may be other men in our politics
who are equally as gifted IN the matter
of fluent. graceful and forcible talking
day after day under circumstance that
vary with each new occasion; but if so,
the fact has not yet been practically ex-
emplfed. So far as the cases
dertaken such tasks are con-
cerned, the comparison is unquestion-
ably favorable to him. He surpasses
Greeley, Garfield and Blaine in point
of variety of originality and of sustained
interest and excellence. The ordeal is
one that demands superior mental vigor
and a%lertness, as we'll as exceptional
power of restraint and skill in the selec-
sion OF facts and words. Most men put
to a test so peculiarly trying would
either drift into a sort of repetitiOnal
monotony, or err on the other side in
the way of excess and ~imprudence. But
General Harrison steadily steers clear
of both dangers, and is always pleasing,
always iudicious, and always specially
en- rapport with the audience which he
happens to be addressing.
1t is to be borne in mind, OF course,
that Gen. Harrison is merely the repre-
sentative and the servant Of his party,
and a republican triumph implies the
viudication and promotion of certain
principles which are more important
| than any man can possibly be. But at
claim as one of the strong arguments in
its favor the fact that itpresents a can
didate who is manifestly so well
equipped for the duties of the highest
Office in the government. 1t can not be
doubted that with Gen. Harrison in the
White House, the country would be
entirely secure against any deprecia-
ton of the dignity and prOpriety of
that exalted position. His speeches af-
ford the amplest assurance that on no
account would the people ever have oc-
| casion to blush for him should he be
made president. His qualification for
the place include both the theoretical
knowledge and the practical sense re-
| uuired in such an office. He is a states
| man of thorough training, of accurate
judgment, and of close sympathy with
| the interests of all classes. 1t is folly
to say that this not a considera-
ton to which voters have a right to at
tach particular weight, when his oppo-
| nent is plainly wanting in all those
qualities that fit men for high and
difficult political responsibilities. The
fact that a man need not be a success
full orator In order to make a satisfac-
tory president may be readily granted,
but that is no answer in this case. Cen
eral Harrison's speeches show him to be
more than an orator, They furnish con-
elusive evidence that he has a we'll
stored and well-disciplined mind, and
that all his impulses and tendencies are
sound, safe and profitable. In short, he
has recommended himself to the coun-
try as a candidate beyond criticism, and
his party is gaining votes every day by
reason Of his splendid personal services

Statistics of the Bible.

London Telegraph: There are sixty
six books in our Bible, of which the Old
Testament contains thirty-nine and the
New Testament twenty-seveu. These
books contain 1889 chapters, the Old
Testament having 929 and the New 260.
OF the total of 3l,17S verses, from Cen
esis to Revelation, there are 2 ,2l4 in
the Old and 1853 in the New. There
are 500 ,449 words in the Old and lS1 ,l53
in the New Testament, or a total in the
Bible of IT'S SOP words. The Old Testa-
ment has 2,71S, 100 letters, the New,
S3S, $50; total, 1856 ,4S0. The shortest
chapter is Psalm cxvii., which is also
the middle chapter of the Bible, while
the middle verse is the eighth in Psalm
cxviii. In thesOld Testament, Proverbs
is the middle book; the middle chapter
is Job xxx, and the shortest verse
is First Chronicles, first chapter,
twenty-fifth verse. In the New
Testament the middle book is
Second Thessalonians; there is no
middle chapter, there being an wen
number OF chapters, but it would come
between the thirteenth and fourteenth
of Romans; the middle verse is the
seventeenth of the seventeenth chapter
of Acts: and the shortest verse in the
New Testament, as we'll AS the shortest
in the Bible, is the thirty-tifth of the
eleventh chapter of the Gospel accord
ing to John. The name of God does not
occur in the book of Esther in any form.
The nineteenth chapter of the second
book of Kings and the thirty-seventh
chapter of Isaiah, are almost word for
word the same, the only difference in
our version is such as would be easily
made by two translators, rendering the
same passage. The t%wenty-tirst verse

day or two the point OF collision must

asked and obtained from the govern
ment Of the Dominion military assist
ance. A hundred mounted riflemen
have been sent to the scene OF action,
and the infantry battalion stationed at
Winnipeg has been ordered to hold

troll OF the question ana has

Pacific, so like our own beloved Union
Pacific, is resisting the local govern

THE Iowa prohibitionists may con-
graduate themselves upon a victory
won in the supreme court of the United
States which WIS not generally ex-
pected. The court has decided that the
prohibition law of Iowa, in SO far as it
prohibits the manufacture and sale OF
liquors except for mechanical, medici-
mai and sacramental purposes, is no in
conflict with the provision of the federal
constitution which gives congress the
sole power to regulate interstate COM
merce, and sustains the decision OF the
Iowa supreme court. The distiller
against whom the case was brought
took the position that, as he was manu-
featuring liquors solely for exporta-
ton to other states, the law
in prohibiting such manufacture
interfered with interstate commerce,
and was therefore in conflict with the
constitution. The supreme court de-
cides that there is no such conflict, and
thus disposes of a very important ques-
ton. The decision of course will apply
to all states having prohibitory laws
similar to that of Iowa, so that manu-
facturers of liquor In any of these
states except for the purposes specified
medicinal, mechanical and culinary
may as we'll without further ado
prepare to transfer their business to
states where there is no such r%estric-
ton. 1t is moi in the power of a state
to prohibit the importation of liquors,
but this appears to be the only conSe-
quential Limitation on its authority to
deal with the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors.

with the Indians, and it will very likely
