The sole object of the order relating to
goods in bond which Secretary Foster is re.
ported to be about to issue is to protect the
revenue. No part of its purpose is to ham,
per the Canadian lines. There is strong evil
dence to prove that by means of the bonding
system large quantities of foreign goods, es-
pecially 0piums, and silks, have been SNUG
gled into the country without the payment of
duties. 1t Is alleged that the railroads them
selves have in some instances been cognizant
of this Illicit business, and have conniyed at
1t. 1t is believed that the only way to break
up this business is to have every car load of
goods from foreign nation coming into this
country over any of the Canadian lines of
railroad examined by a United States GUS
tom house officer at the frontier. This ex-
animation Will no doubt in many cases in
Volve the unloading and reloading of cars
and cause much delay. Therefore, though
the purpose OF the order is not to hamper the
Canadian roads, that will surely be its eff
feet, Whether the expense and delay which
1t will cause will be sufficient to induce the
Canadian roads to seek other ports of ship
ment than American ports, that is, whether
goods destined for Europe brought across the
continent.by the Canadian Pacific will con-
tinue to be shipped in the winter time from
Portland and Boston, or whether the delays
at the frontier will cause the roads to make
st. John and Halifax their shipping ports,
only experience can determine. Other
things being equal the Canadian road s
would prefer to deliver their freight to
steamships in the ports of Portland and Bos-
ton rather in st. John and Halifax, but II is
possible that the expense and delay that an
official examination at the border will impose
will more than Offset the advantages the ad-
vanrages of shipment from American ports
and make it more profitable for the roads
and the steamships to seek ST. John and
Halifax. Such change will of course work
to the detriment of Portland in breaking
up the winter steamship business of this
port.

According to the Galveston Daily News an
amusing scene occurred in the Texas senate
the other day. Upon a call of the roll one
senator present refused to answer to his
name. The president of the senate directed
the clerk to mark him as present. There
upon Senator Page demanded of the presi-
dent to know under what rule he had marked
as present the member who had refused to
respond to his name. The president replied
as follows,
under the rule made by God Almighty
when he gave me eyes to see the senator is
present"
Senator Page thereupon suggested that
that was Gar Reeds rule"
Thereupon there seems to have been some.
thing of panic among the patriots in the
Texas Senate until senator named Polk, eyi.
IDENTIFY person of comforting disposition,
volunteered the statement that ''the case was
by no means analogous to Reeds arbitrary
ruling" This seems to have quieted the
panic.
1t is true that it was not Analogous" to
Mr. Reeds ruling; but it was identical with
it. The only difference in the two cases is
that Mr.. Reed was able to back up his ruling
with statement of the law supporting the
act, while the Texan presiding officer had to
fall back upon instincts of natural piety.

Kentucky's constitutional convention has
proposed good many changes in the organic
law which are in the right direction. The
adoption of the official secret ballot is one of
them; prohibition of stock watering is an
other; the revocation of all lottery charters
and the prohibition of the granting of any
more is another. Another amendment pro-
poses to set apart the direct tax received from
the government. amounting to 100000, for
school purposes to be equally distributed
among schools for white and black children.
A still greater and more needed reform
would be the creation of public sentimen
that would frown on the pistol and bowie
knife as means of settling personal dis
putes. but unfortunately constitutional con-
ventions cannot bring that into existence.
