THE Chinese exclusion act passed the
House Monday after debate of only
thirty minutes. The measure is OF
great interest to industrial classes
throughout the nation, as it absolutely
prohibits Chinese, whether subjects OF
Coina or not from entering the United
States, and those who may hereafter
leave the United States are prohibited
from returning.

New Orleans Fire .

A cigarette stump thrown among
some cotton bales in New Orleans last
Sunday destroyed $4,000 bales of cotton
and other property to the value of 80,
600, 0OO-an immense sum. This loss
was covered by s3.3OO,OOO of INSURANCE.
This fact eases our conscience very
much and we heave sign of relief
when we read it. No doubt this insur-
ance money coming into New Orleans
will make business brisk in that city
and GOOD times will be the result, but
nevertheless 1900, 900 worth of prop
erty has disappeared and the country is
just that much poorer. 1t will likely
not be felt in our present prosperous
condition, as nation. bnt cotton may
advance in price just trifie. The
amount burned was just about one per
cent. of last years total crop.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

The following is written by a gentle
man who has had the cholera, and his
writing is from a personal experience
with that dread disease in the East
Indies:
ATLANTA, September Is.
To the Editor of The Journal:
In the East Indies where cholera is
endemic and epidemic almost con
stantly, no one fears it, as the disease
is considered easily durable.
The patient In either the first or Sec
ond stages, or even the third when
coma occurs, is placed upon a cheap
blanket on a board, which is first COW
cred with one to two inches of fresh
earth, after which a s~prinkling of
earth is placed upon the body. The
patient is usually first wrapped in
some soft porous or open meshed ma
terial.
Night and morning the patient is
washed in soapsuds and rinsed with
tep d water. Two days of this is suffi-
Gent
The disease is transferred to the
dirt, which is treated with chloride of
lime or is buried.
During epidemic cholera panic causes
many to be buried alive, and in after
years when bodies are removed to new
cemeteries, it is invariably found that
many, cured by contact with the earth,
have recovered and died from suffoca-
ton after desperate efforts to escape.
Since cholera always results in thin
ming of the blood, and no one dies with
it except after asphyxiation from the
development of carbonic acid gas,
which produces coma, would it not be
strong beef tea, with claret wine treated
with a few drops of ammonia as a
drink. The ammonia will infaIlibIy
expel from the body carbonic acid gas,
which is it's chemical enemy.

WHAT PAPER MONEY DID.

There is no disputing the fact that
the French Government is the most
prosperous in the world, after passing
through all of her wars. After the
revolution of 1913, by the decree of
March 18th, the notes of the bank of
France were made legal tender to the
amount of $3.50, 600, 600. The amount
taken the first ten days was Sc, 600, $50.
The English writer's of finance said it
would lead to the destruction of the
French currency, though it was but a
short time until the English press adj
mitted its success as a master stroke of
finance. The war between France and
Germany was declared July 10Th, 1870,
and terminated May 10th, 1871. To
April, 1870, the circulation of the bank
of France was 1888, $50, 900, bullion and
specie was 1851, 555, 900, a little over
$18 per capt.. In August, 1870, the
French Government suspended specie
payment and made notes on the bank
of France legal tender. The bank then
loaned the government 1915, 600, 600 at
1 per cent. and paid 1 per cent. on it's
entire circulation. The bank of France
and other credit institutions loaned to
the people in two weeks $50, 600, 900,
and the only collateral or security re-

CHOLERA ABROAD DECLINING.
HAMBURG, Sept. 14,-There have
been $50 fresh cases of the cholera In
this city to-day, or forty-one fewer
than yesterday, and about 100 fewer
than the daily average for the previous
two weeks s. The deaths have num-
bered 203, or twenty four fewer than
yesterday. The interments have num-
bered 313. In the cholera hospitals
and barracks 1871 patients are Under
treatment. The mortality is mostly
among half-starved women and chill
dren from the poorest quarters of the
city. Among the families of small
tradesmen the mortality is almost
nothing, and it is believed that, in the.
better parts of the city proper, the in
lection has been practically stamped
out. The loss to trade and commerce
since the beginning Of the plague is
estimated at 400, OOO, 600 marks.
