The Senate voted 43 to IA to substitute
for the Chinese exclusion bill passed by
the House, q provision extending for
ten wears the provisions of the present
law. The Chinese minister had stated
that the passage OF the House bill would
resultin China's closing her ports against
the United States.
Looking at the matter from a com.
mercial standpoint only, it would seem
ut first that China would suffer more by
non-intercourse than we should.
Our imports from China in 1891 we're
SIS, 800, COO, and our exports to China
were IS. 70l ,00s. But AZ only "a. SOC, 600
OF the exports were Of Il own pro-
ducts, the real balance Of trade in
China's favor was $14,520,000, and the
domestic exports and imports combined
we're $24. l2O,0O0.
But China's total trade with the
world was, in lSsS--the latest full re-
turn at hand-$255, $40, $40. Her trade
with the United States, therefore, was
less than one-tenth of her total trade,
and she would lose very little in sacri-
ficing it, Ne We should buy her products
from other countries.
The great bulk OF China's foreign
trade Is with Great Britain and the
DIltlei COtUillCe. Vuu lliCIl ~ HIS
steadily increased, and with us it has
Auctuated. But they have cultivated
the trade, while we have given il very
little attention.
Recently, however, our cottons have
found there a growing market. They
are preferred to the British cottons be-
cause they are less LOADED" and more
durable.
There is no doubt whatever that with
the advance Of railroad building. which
has Just been begun in China, the
market for foreign goods will increase
for some years, or until China produces
her own, ~ she assuredly will some
day.
With this prospect, and with our in
creased OF the Pacific, We
cannot afford to be rude to China.
Home protection does not require it.
Internal development will tend at
once to keep her people at home and to
call for more of IL goods. 1t will pro-
tect us better than a more rigid exclu.
sion bill could. and il we cultivate
friendly relations we car largely in
,raase Our trude.

Up to date the Democratic Econ
omy" Congress has appropriated
nearly $50. 0OO,0O0 more than the
"Billion-dollar" Congress appro-
priated at it's first session. And that
is not all. There is still to be added
SIS, 600, 600 to the pension and sundry
civil appropriations.
The country need not look to Repub-
lican papers Tor adverse criticism OF this
extravagant bill. Tho better class Of
Democratic journals have done the SUBJ
iect justice. Two samples will serve as
q fair illustration Of honest Democratic
criticism:
The New York Sun: 'That there
should be Democrats in this majority
who are doing their level best to equal
and surpass the billion record of the
Billion Congress is almost beyond be-
lief. They are fools and traitors"
The World: Are the Democrats of the
House of Representatives madP Or
have they submitted themselves to the
control of political imbeciles? Upon no
theory of sanity and sense can their re.
cen course be explained. For days in
succession, with 4 majority of $50, they
permitted their quorum to be broken
by a horse race. As though the faith
nessness of ~inattention to duty were not
bad enough, they reassembled in force
only to enter upon a carnival Of extray-
aganC0."

Curious Food.

Curious Food.
The French will eat snails, frogs ard
the diseased liver of geese. The use Of
horse flesh as an article OF food has
made great Progress in Paris, where
about l 600 horses per week are said to
be slaughtered, the animals wen being
imported for that purpose. The snail is
becoming another fashionable article Of
diet in France. Snails we're highly es-
teemed by the Romans, and in the six.
teenth century the Capuchins OF FRI
lourg possessed the art of %fatteninz
them. There are 10Y more than fifty
restaurants and more than q thousand
tables in Paris where snails are accepted
as a delicacy, the monthly consumption
OF this mollusk being estimated at
half a million. A celebrated French
chef is said to have the art Of serving
eggs in 500 different styles. In Brazil
and Spanish America young monkeys
roasted is the favorite dish. The cooh.
scoops out a hole in the ground ED
makes a small bake oven, in which the
Mickey Is done to a turn. favored with
various herbs and vegetables. Reptiles
figure largely in various portions Of tho
globe as articles Of food. The Ameri-
cans and English mako use of the green
turtle, but there the line is drawn. In
South America the native children will
drag huge c~entipedes out Of their holes
and crunch them up. The negroes Of
the West Indies eat baked snakes and
the palm worm fried in fat, but they
can not be induced to eat stewed rabbit.
Arabs are fond of crocodiles and some
portions of the creature is said to be
white and tender when properly served.
Crocodile eggs are much sought after by
the natives OF Madagascar, their flavor
closely resembling q mixture Of rancid
oil and musk. In tho Pacific and West
Indian Islands lizards and lizards eggs
are eaten In a variety Of styles. The
guiana, a species OF lizard common to
Africa and South America, 10 considered
a great delicacy, the flesh closely re-
sembling chicken. Some of the North
American Indians will eat ra~ttlesnakes
roasted, but their great dish Is boiled
and roasted dog, without the formality
of skinning or otherwise cleaning, and
they regard the intestines as the choicest
part Of . buffalo OF steer.

A Rich sample of Democratic Economy.
The SAT 200. 600 river and harbor bill,

A Rich Sample of Democratic
The 81, 600, 900 river and harbor bill,
recently passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives. is the biggest bill of the kind
ever passed or ever reported in Con-
gress. 1t was passed by a vote Of 1856 to
Ga. This bill is a big bonanza for the
Southern states and the Southern men,
bers, strong for the old flag and an APP
prooriation, really forced the commit
tee into reporting this tremendous and
unprecedented measure. But this is
only a small part of the large total Of
appropriations made by this economical
Democratic House, which adopted the
Holman economy resolution.
1t has been affirmed by Democrats
that the Republicans were e~xtravagant
beyond the power of ordinary speech
to describe. The "Billion-dollar'' Con-
gress was a promising campaign cry for
the Democrats. Yet it is a fact that the
first session of this Democratic House
has provided for larger appropriations
than the first session Of the "Billion-
dollar" Congress. The Democratic
House has appropriated SO far, in this
first session, more than half a billion
dollars, and the same rate for the Sec
ond session will make the total far in
excess of the tota, appropriated by the
"Bil!ion-dollar" Congress. The follow
ing statement shows the totals appro-
priated at the first session of the last
Republican Congress anG the totals ap-
propriated by the first session of the
present Democratic Congress:

II the Democrats lose n one of
these states except Connecticut or West
Virginia they cannot win; If they lose
both the small states named they would
fail in the election.
On the other hand the vote of lndi-
ana alone would give the Republicans a
majority of 7 in the electoral college.
Harrison carried Indiana four years
ago, and nothing has been offered to
show that he cannot carry it again. In
fact, Indiana Democrats practically con-
cede that he will again receive the vote
of that state II he be renominated.
Connecticut cannot be depended upon
by the Democrats, and West Virginia ia
even less reliable, having given Cleve-
land only about 600 majority in 1888. 1t
will be a great surprise If it does not
go Republican this year. Virginia is
column, since on national issues it gave
but l 500 Democratic majority four years
ago.
1t will thus be seen that the Republi-
cans have several chances Of electing
their presidential candidate without
New York. while the Democrats have
none. If the Democrats lost New FORK
and carried every other doubtful state.
with Massachusetts and Iowa-which
they are absurdly hoping for-thrown
in, they would only succeed in producing
a tie in the electoral college. The vote Of
Indiana alone added to the substantial
ly sure Republican states will assure
Republican success.
But with all it's complications, much
more threatening on the Democratic
side than on Republican, New York is
far more likely to give it's electoral vote
to President Harrison than to any Dem
ocrat now in sight. We believe that
state will be contended for in November
by Il united Republican party, but it is
not just to the chances of Republican
success, 80 promising without it, that it's
importance should be magnified for the
single purpose of influencing a nomina-
ton by the national convention.

Diekerman Re-Arrested.

q. F. Dickerman, the Whitneyville post
master, who was recently arrested on a
charge of paying personal debts with post
age stamps, has been re-arrested on more
serious charge, which is that of offering a
fraudulent contract to L. M. Brooks, the
postmaster at Cheshire. When Dickerman
was first arrested in connection with seve-
raj other arrests of Hamden postmasters it
was alleged that he had entered into con-
spiracy with them whereby he agreed to
turn into their Offices mail matter from his
card companies for cancellation, provided
the postmasters in turn paid him half the
money they received by such cancellation.
The salaries of these postmasters are regu-
lated by the cancellation of stamps, and
therefore the more mail matter they re-
ceived the greater were their salaries. Mr..
Dickerman profted to the extent of hall

Died at the Hospital.

Charles Arson Sperry died at the hos
pital on Saturday morning of the effects
of asphyxiation caused by his blowing out
the gas in his room at the Aldrich house.
Sperry was known at the hospital, where
he had been on two previous occasions,
once for treatment for an eye, the sight of
which was lost, and once for treatment for
malaria. During these visits he mentioned
the name of Allen Sperry, of Bethany, as
his friend, but made no reference to any
living relatives when questioned by the
superintendent at the hospital. Mr..
Sperry has been notified by mail of the
death. If no relatives claim the body of
the deceased, it will be buried under the
auspices of the G.. A. R., the expenses
| being paid from fund which the state
provides for such cases.
Twenty-one dollars which were found in
| the pockets of the deceased are in the hands
| of the coroner.
The theory has been suggested as posi-
bly, correct, that Sperry blew out the gas
| with the intention of ending Ills life. This
theory is based on the fact that he was ad.
vanced in years, had no home, and, as fal
as known, no relatives, and few friends
He was a war veteran and it is supposed
| received a pension. The fact that he had
the amount of money referred to will
him does not support the suicidal theory.

Polo as game is far better now than it

could play better game by keeping out of
the reach of the heavy men. Passing, Jug.
Cling and lodging have taken the place of
slugging and fighting. The polo player of
to-day must be quick, enduring and always
on the jump. He must know when to hold
a ball, when and how to juggle it, when
and how to pass it and when and how tc
drive it. He must not think that he can
play the whole of the opposing team him

AT TRINITY CHURCH.

Preaching Last Evening by Rev. MIR.
Paradtse-Speeiauy Fine Music.
Last evening Trinity church was filled
to overlooking by an audience who listened
to sermon by Rev. Paradise of Milford
and also heard the monthly musical service
by the choir, assisted by Mr.. Perry Averill,
baritone, of New York. The music was
splendidly rendered throughout, especially
the Magnificent and Nunc Dimittis and the
anthems ''Noel," by Adam, and ''Zion," by
Gade: These special musical services are
now In the fourth year and have given the
very highest satisfaction to the large con-
gregations attending, both from the fine
character and rendition of the music and
the reverent and churchly musicianshiI
which has characterized each service.
Some of the greatest American church
singers have assisted each month, notably
Msssrs. F. F. Powers, Perry AveriI, Will
liam Courtney, Clinton Elder, w. q. RE
ger, Carl E. Duff, W. Prince and Charles
Herbert Clarke. These services have given
marked impetus to the cause of church
music in this city and the suburbs, and the
greatest credit is due to Mr.. Hedden, the
Trinity organist, for so conscientiously
| carrying on the good work.
