The financial stringency of the past
few weeks has fortunately affected
the farmers of the United States but
slightly. The cases wherein Individual
farmers have been embarrassed have
generally oeen those in which agri-
culture was mixed up with specula-
ton. The Ohio State journal says
that in Central Ohio the bankers have
loaned farmers less money within the
last two years than ever before in the
same length of time, and that they
are not using n dollar Of borrowed
money where they used ten few
years ago. @As a body" says the
Journal, "they are financially healthy
and strong, beyond the compass OF
the petty whirlwind which is agitat-
ing the moueyed interests handled by
the capitalists" and it deduccs from
this the conclusion that there Is nc
real fear of a financial panic. LIS
logic is sound.

Missouri. This is quite true. and the
men who voted for Mr.. Cleveland last
November are already asking why
the breakfast table is not cheaper m
how II can become cheaper with q tax
m tel. and coffee and sugar, as the
free traders propose. These voters
are liable to become more anxious In
their inquiry before MIR. Clevelands
administration comes TO an end, and,
not receiving any answer, will re-
pudiate him and his party. They
wero fooled once by demsgogic

The Navajo war is over. Like
most Indian wars of late years it was
mostly on paper. A war with the
Navajo Indians would be very serious
affair indeed. The tribe numbers
nearly twenty thousand souls and
could probably put into the field
four or five thousand warriors will
armed. While they have given the
settlers living in the Immediate vi
cinity of the reservations, trouble by
predatory raids on stock or after
game, they have as a whole consider
inn their numbers been remarkably
well behaved This is largely due
to the fact, that they have everything
to lose, and nothing to gain by an
outbreak They are not supported
by the government, and have not
been for years. They have large
docks of sheep from which the wool
clip is heavy, many ponies and cat
tie. These possessions are gnar-
anty OF peace for they know that
war would jeopardize them and
probably result IN their loss. When
tribe of Indians can put all their
worldly possessions on Pony they
are to be feared, bpt whom they own
cattle, sheep or other property in
any quantity, that they cannot re
move, and do not want 30 lose, they
will think many times before opening
hostilities-

BY ToRcHLIeHT.

That Was the Way the Cornerstone Of the
Staten fsland Church Was Laid.
The laying Of cornerstone at night is
the novel sight that was witnessed at
Stapleton, N. T., the other evening, when
the construction of the new First Pres
byterian church was formally inaugu-
rated amid the glare Of torches and cleo
tric lights.
The First Presbyterian church of Sta
pleton is one Of the wealthiest and most
fashionable congregations on Staten Is
land, but it has hitherto worshiped in "a
small and unpretentious edifice. Recent
ly it decided to erect new and hand
some church, to cost large sum of
money, and the members hit upon the
novel plan of laying the cornerstone at
night to make the occasion memorable.
Electric lights strung were from diff
ferent points and in such manner as to
throw the full glare directly on the spot
where the cornerstone was placed. As
the illumination, however, was hardly
strong enough to read by, number OF
people stood about the officiating clergy
men holding pine torches, thus enabling
the services to be carried out without
hitch.
Owing to the novelty of the idea Of
LAYING cornerstone at night, there was
large attendance at the ceremony,
prominent society people from all parts
of the island being present. York

THE NEW CHINESE BILL. .
The Photograph Provision and the Decls-
ration Concerning Merchants.

The Photograph Provision and the Decla-
ration Concerning Merchants.
! The senate Of the United States on the
day before its adjournment passed the
act for the amendment of the Geary ex-
clusion law precisely as it came from
!. the house. In view of this decision and
OF the overwhelming majority which the
measure had received in the house, it
must stand as the matured expression of
the Judgment of the representatives Of
the American people as whole.
+. 1t is rather noteworthy that while the
period of extension granted to the Chi
nese for registration is six months after
4 the enactment of this new law, the time
81 will expire during the first week of next
h May, or almost exactly one year after
B the period fixed in the original Geary
act. That year will have taught much
to our Mongolian fellow residents, and
they may be expected to avail themselves
almost to a man of the privilege now ac-
corded by congress.
The new law requires of the applicant
photograph, and this provision has
eometimes been stigmatized as import
ing rogues' gallery methods into it's ex-
ecution. This criticism is not sound.
Many railroads, as was pointed out in
the house debate, in giving their most
Favored customers the privilege of what
are known as 1000 mile tickets for low
er price than ordinary mileage rates, re-
aquire that upon such ticket shall be
placed not only the purchasers name,
&but his photograph, in order that no.
body else may use it. Most of those
persons who had season tickets Of free
admission to the Chicago fair were in
\ like manner obliged to attach their pho
tographs to the tickets. In these and
similar cases the purpose is not humilia-
ton, but Identification, SO that privileges
.. granted may not be misused by persons
swho come wrongly into possession Of
them. That Is exactly the case with the
Chinese, and there is nothing else in the
requirement Of photograph for the GER
tificate of protection.
Another important new feature Of the
amendment act is that which defines the
word d'merchant," as used in the Geary
law. No one can question ttiat ii ii is bet-
Ter 10 nave n preCise ucscTlpbloH OF WnaJ
is intended by this term than that it
should be left to conjectural interpreta-
tion outside of the lawmalsing power.
A merchant is now declared to be, for
the purpose of this act, "a person en-
gagged in buying and selling merchandise
at fixed place of business, which bust
ness is conducted in his name, and who,
during the time he claims to be engaged
as merchant, does not engage in the
performances of any manual labor, ex-
cept such as is necessary in the conduct
of his business as such merchant" This
does not appear to be an unjust definition,
or one unduly strained for the purpose of
excluding persons from the status of
merchants who are fairly entitled to it.
But however that may be, the words
thus used in the amended act are direct
ly drawn from similar definitions, either
in preceding Chinese exclusion acts or
in existing treasury decisions interpret
ing those acts and establishing rules for
their execution.-New York Sun.
