TO MEET An EMEEGENCY.

some comment has been made on that sum
as insufficient" observed the reporter.
ut is designed only to meet the present emer-
gency. When Congress meets again another
appropriation will be made again. The next
session will begin in December, and the S50,OO0
will last until another bill can be passed. 1t
would not do TO have adjourned without appro-
priatiug some money for that object. The
Canadian frontier viii he guarded with extra
officers with this sum, the Mexican border
seems TO be safe enough at present. The
places where they are most liable 10 come into
this country from Mexico are FL Paso and
Nogales and customs officers are stationed there.
There are fifteen or twenty places on the Cana
dian frontier where Chinese might enter. At
these places the customs force has always been
only large enough to keep watch on the trains
and the passengers in them, and need of addi-
tional officers TO watch out for Chinese between

There was some talk before L left Washing
ton OF introducing bill requesting the Presi
dent to enter into negotiations with Canada and
Mexico. with view of getting those countries
to adopt Chinese exclusion laws. such bill
will doubtless be introduced in Congress next
session. If adopted, there will be no necessity
TO guard the frontiers. ] think it likely such
negotiations will be successful. Although Mex
leo has been encouraging Chinese cheap labor,
/ think the Mexican Government can be in
duced 20 favor the United States so far as TO ex-
clude the Chinese. The Canadian House of
Commons, at its last session. did not appear
very much opposed 10 the Chinese, but l think
1t will also cooperate with this county. Until
that is done, the United states Will have to be
guarded at every point.
''The exclusion law being a supplement to
the TED Year Restriction Act, viii expire when
the term of the latter ends-nsmely. a little
over three years hence. We will therefore have
to have further Chinese legislation, and at the
coming session bill will be considered making
the recent Exclusion Act perpetual. 1t has
been introduced in the Hou>e by Mr.. FELTON,
and in the Senate by Senator Mitchell.

why That Rooster Crows.

The Age trots out a large rooster over the
Maine election returns this week, probably
for the benefit of its "Republican readers"
This is undoubtedly the same rooster which
it purchased early in the campaign, when
knowing full well the enormous size of the
Democratic corruption fund and mindful
perhaps of the results attained with similar
fund in lsSO-t predicted either the election
of Mr. Putnam or an enormous decrease in
the Republican plurality. Let us see, it was
was it not, who upon election morning proph-
esied the election of Mr. Putnam by thous-
and plurality? To say that the magnificent
Republican victory was surprise TO one
contemporary would be putting it exceeding
" mild. 1t was bomb she'll. When time
had somewhat cleared away the intense
gloom that darkened the sanctum, the weary
editorial mind had time to ponder upon the
new rooster which had lain all neglected in
the bottom of his coop. 1t was evident that
there would be no need of him from Dem
ocratic standpoint in November. Why not
then be generous and give the bird one
chance to crow though 1t be
for a great Republican victory This Will
account for the rooster. The Age will not
DENY that the result of the election was a
great surprise tot it. 1t will not deny ats
chagrin aud discontinue. And while Its
surplus" is buying Republican hats it will
manfully permit IT'S rooster to crow for the
party which has just buried the Bouroons
of Maine beyond all hope of resurrection

There is no article of food more gener-
ally consumed than wheat flour in its various
forms of bread and pastry, but chemists by
examination find that by its use, mankind
loses two-thirds of the elements that go to
make up bone and muscle. These vital
elements are the phosphates which are alb
solutely necessary for the maintenance of
health, and which nature has provided in
the wheat grain but man has removed from
the -four in the process of boiling. 1t was
this fact that suggested the invention of
Prof Horsford of his preparation as a bak-
ing powder that would add these nutritious
phosphates, and thereby supply the deficiency
in the -four. In place of the alum, cream
tartar, etc, used in common baking powders,
he produced an acid phosphate, and thus
makes baking powder which not only
raises the dough, but leaves in the bread the
vital phosphates of which the -four has
been deprived. septl ld&wlm

A Frosty Dog Day.

A very prominent farmer and ex-soldler OF

count of the affair as known by many through

in Chesterville. 1t was so terribly cold that
we had to wear overcoats, and were
then obliged to get out and walk,
wildly pounding hands and arms to keep from

taking care of the horse, we started in to

on our heavy overcoats. 1t was so severe
that the grass had frozen so it sounded Ike
