THE MEMBER FROM MISSOURI.

We copy the following from the st. Louis Argus,
BY which il will be seen that it isextremely doubtful
whether the newly elected member Of Congress
from that State can be in Washington at the COM
mencemeut Of the session:
The returns of the late election come in SO
slowly, that il is extremely doubtful whether Mr..
jameson can be in Washington city AT the organi-
cation of the House of Representatives. If the Of
fcers concerned are prompt in discharging their
duty, however, the official returns of the whole state
may be at Jefferson city by the 18th instin which
case the member elect take his seat in Congress
on the first day OF the session. But fact which has
come to our knowledge renders it improbable that this
will be the case. The proclamation Of the governor
fixing the day Of election and issued on the cath of
September, did not reach Ripley county until the
2lst of October, taking period of twenty-sx days
TO make the journey. IL the returns from Ripley
and other counties distant, are equally long upon
the road they will not reach Jefferson city before the

THE DEBTS OF THE STATES.


That many Of the States engaged largely in
internal improvements are approaching a ter
rible crisis in their pecuniary affairs is becnm-
ing quite apparent. There seems to be an
end Of the sale Of State stocks in Europe, and
they cannot be exchanged for money in our
own market. II Is minated that the opinion
is held in Europe that we are a nation of
bankrupts. How far an opinion so utterly
destructive of our credit abroad, is justified,
subsequent events and Developments must
show.
That the country is under literal mort
gage to European capitalists and paying the
tremendous interest Of IL millions Of dollars
and upwards year, is unquestioned. That
our debt has been increased by importations
exceeding our exports some 10 millions, and
that we are otherwise largely involved with
Europe through some Of our banks, is report
ed to be true. The aggregate amount of
the Indebtedness Of some twenty Of the States
is estimated at 200 millions Of dollars, a sum
larger by seventy-fve millions than the great
National Debt in which we came out Of the
war in 1915. In some of the States, their
Indebtedness is so large that we doubt very
much whether they will, without great diff
Guilty, be able to pay their interest, and indeed
we should not be surprised, If they should ap.
pear virtually bankrupt. Take the State Of
Pennsylvania for example. Its debt is near
80 millions. Annual interest well nigh two
millions. With all its improvements, it is re-
ported that its finances this year will be in
sufficient to meet demands, by millions. 1t
may stave off its creditors this year, by prop
ping up its banks, and receiving loans in re-
turn. The prospect for future loans is GER
tainly gloomy, and how can even the interest
Of its debt be paid ultimately without resort
to direct taxation! Many Of the other States
are in similar predicament. The debt OF
Illinois is nearly equal to one-eighth part of
the whole value Of the State The same is
true of Indiana, and the debt Of Mary land is
about one-ninth of its whole value.
The following table, though not full and
complete, will give some idea of the relative
Indebtedness Of the States, and their valua-

l75,OSl,s7S

In the above we have omitted the States of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island, most of which owe lit
tie or nothing and New Jersey, North Caro-
lima, and Georgia, of whose affairs we have
no statistics before US. Maine and Georgia
recently had stocks on SALE the former $780,
900 at 81, and the latter 2,250,O0O at ST,
though we have not the amount Of their in
debtedness.
Could the loans required be obtained and
the unfinished works be completed, still we
very much doubt whether two-thirds Of the
improvements would pay the interest upon
their cost. That the States will be able to
relieve themselves Of great embarrassment for
many years to come, by any practicable acts
Of their own, even if the public works should
be presently stopped, we scarcely believe pos
sibe
1t has been suggested that, for the restora-
ton and maintenance of American credit
abroad, and relief from embarrassment and
distress at home, the United States Govern
sumption Of the State debts. Upon such
question there is much to be said on both
sides. Our own knowledge and reflections
are in too crude state to give an opinion
worth any thing 1t is subject, however, Of
startling interest and vast Importance, to which
the attention of statesmen should be soemnly
applied.
Not pretending TO be competent to Judge Of
matters of such famous and comprehensive
proportions, we will content ourselves with
mentioning some of the various schemes that
have been proposed.
One is, that the United States create
stock, irredeemable for fifty years, excep: at
the option of the holder, bearing interest at 3
per cent, TO exchange for the State stock and
bonds, with the privilege, that, when fifty mil
lions of such United States stock was created
and exchanged for State stocks or bonds, the
holders of the United States stock should be
authorized to establish national bank, by
adding twenty-five millions of specie capital,
&c. SC.
Another is, that the Government should
issue three hundred millions of stock, to be
substituted for State stock, and that public
lands TO that amount be set apart as a sinking
fund for its redemption.
Some propose the issue of Treasury notes,
to be loaned to the Sta,es to the amount of
their Indebtedness.
Others think that division of the public
lands among the several States would be a
sufficient relief
The attempt to accomplish any thing of
this sort, through the general government,
will be met with the popular objections to a
national debt-to funding system-a nation
al bank-any paper sys,em-and by the dog
ma of the President himself, that the govern
ment has "nothing to do but to take care Of
ITSELF" and that it is opposed to the very sys-
ten out OF which these enormous debts grew,
&c. &c. &c.

From The Peoria Registe,
ILLINOIS IN TILE onrru CQNGRESS

The Sangamo Journal suggests that our next Con-
gressonal election be postponed until after the appor-
uonment under the United States census Of 1910,
when It Is probable that Illinois will be entitled
Representatives in Congress" The Bloomington Oh
heartily responds to the suggestion adding that
by such an arrangement shall be enabled to triple
our representation IN the 9Th Congress-" Both papers
do not doub, that 1.-THE Legislature will make the
necessary change"
We have strong doubts Of it, for the following rea-
sons
The census Of 1910 cannot be laid before Congress
until the session Of sil42, and that body will probably
not agree upon apporonment basis ill near The end
thereof No election therefore, could take place under
that apportIonmeOt before 1872 four years from now
II The election Of lS40 therefore, be prcermitted or
postponed as suggested in the papers referred to- ILL
hols must 60 unrepresented in the 9th Congress- and
have no voice in fixing the apporlionment II the
sus to be taken in lsi0 could be laid before Congress
and acted upon the succeeding winter then our cleo
ton might be deferred from 1910 till the year. and
Illinois be represented in 1914 by her eight
bers.
slight reference to the last appor,ionment bill will
sustain our position.
The first returns OF the census, whereby any thing
like estimate Of the aggregate population could
be formed, not received I'LL May, 1881. On the
7th December, following the assembling Of Congress,
the returns were not complete, though the President
communicated to that body such as he had received
and until the 9Th January that full and per-
feet statements furnished. Thereupon the ques-
ton OF apporonment taken up and discussed and
not finally disposed of unit, the middle of MAY,
when the bill was passed. II hardly be expected
that future Congress will use more dispatch in dlspos
ing Of this dccennal question that there will be
barely me after the passage Of the law, for Iegs-
laure to arrange the districts before the August election
IN 1912 We think it not improbable that that election,
instead Of that Of 1910, Will be postponed unit, the

The following sanguine paragraphs may be
taken for what they are worth. We think
the result doubful--very
The New Orleans True American of the 18th
says: BY the mails yesterday and by the Ganges,
we received the NaIchez Free Trader Of the 9th,
but the way that Loco-foco organ does not say
word of the election is curious, and induces to the
belief that the Wing cause is triumphant in sis
ter State. From private sources we learn that no
doubts exist Of the election of Turner as Governor
Bingaman and Davis, to Congress, and a majority
TO the Legislature
This secures of course Premises election, and
the success OF party is most indisputaby mainly
to be attributed TO his manly exertions."
