A Stranger at a Hotel.
NfR. EnIIoI,:.


Some ten days ago, after driving forty
miles, over Il frozen rough road. reach
Ell the Hotel in II. IA little after dark
| was weary and hungry. and not in
talking mood.
My horse was promptly cared for, and
the good naturrd landlord (you know
they are always glad to see customers)
invited me into a large room where
there was an open fire.
As | reached the room there were
two strangers who, as |
afterwards learned, had been in Eastern
Maine about two weeks, engaged in the
smelling business.
One of them, was tall, Jonat hanish
looking fellow, and with a smile, or sort
of grin on his countenance, began to
catechise me.
As l had just taken off NV boots, and
was trying to warm up a little, at first,
l gave no attention to his questions.
At length, with a loud voice and great
earnestness, he asked, care YOU from
the West?" | answered, .'not to dav."
.'From the East?' eyes, SIR" .Wha
town are you from?' "From the town
of c. last" "Where did YOU start from
this morning?' "From NJ" Glow far
did you drive?" Don't know the ex-
act distance" ''Do you belong West?'
My family resides west of here" How
far do YOU live from herey ''Quite
distance ''What town do you live in?'
"Town of NJ "Where is it?" On the
kennebec." "Was you ever in Port
land!' Eyes sir, many times" Il never
saw you there he replied. sin what
part OF the city do you live SIR asked.
''On Peck's Island" was the answer.
In the course of the evening, l spoke
of a man who got a good living by mind
ing his own business, and after that +,
there were no more questions asked.

Limitation of the State Debt.

There seems to have been no opposition
to the amendment Of the State constitution
limiting the public debt not to exceed
yS5,O0O,OOO on the first of January, 1890.
The taxpayers of course approve it, and
those who have obtained the State bonds
naturally desire to limit their ISSUE Capt.
taiists may now find basis on which to
esumate the positive value of our public
eecuriues. While the power of attorney in
me hands OF our Legislature empowered
that body to bind the State for an Indefinite
indebtedness, it was impossible to estimate
the value Of q present obligation This
difficulty has been removed. a debt of
fifteen millions upon taxable yalues
of three or four hundred millions
can be exactly calculated. We would
call the attention Of the press and
Legislature to the Importance Of q law an.
portioning this increase of debt rateabiy
during the interval, at which it is to reach
its maximum. It would be poor economy
TO expend the whole Of the increase in a
few years. It is proper to state that the
Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans is
entitled to the merit of having suggested
thus limitation by amendment. Eve learn
That tho Hon. Senator Campbell addressed
2 letter Of inquiry to the Chamber to ascer-
tam what measures of State legislation
would promote the commerce Of New Or,

leans. In the category Of measures pro
posed by the Chamber was included this
financial restriction upon the abuse OF
appropriation. 1t was thought that if
the hemorrhage of debt could be stopped
the native vigor of the patient would re-
store to health. The proposition was con-
sidered favorably by Mr.. Campbell, who
reported a joint resolution submitting to
the people the amendment to the cOnstitu-
ton, which has just been adopted. 1t is
thus that the conservative influence of a
commercial body may often effect truce
between political belligerents, which is
fraught with the most beneficial effects, but
which might never have succeeded if ad-
vanced as party measure by either. We
ask the attention Of foreign capitalists to
this amendment and the consequent legisla-
ton distributing the increase of the State
debt, and hope to see early evidences of re-
stored confidence and improved demand for
our State securities.-Ncw Orleans Price
