DEBT AND TAXES.

One of the noticeable features of the pre-
sent time is the recklessness apparent in
creating corporate and municipal indebted
ness, involving, even for the interest from
year to year, an absorption of the earnings
of the people at large, which Gf obligations
are fully met must prove burdensome if
not injurious to the solid interests of pro-
perty, and oppressive to the laborer.
We are led to make these remarks by
reading published notice that Arkansas
is in the market seeking offers for about
81, 5OO,O 900 of her state bonds, to be issued
at G5 per cent, bearing per cent. interest,
OF upwards of 1o2 per cent. per annum on
the amount realized on the bonds, and a
bonus of So per cent. That the railroads
which are to be the recipients of the money
so raised, can ever pay interest or provide
for the redemption of the principal, is very
doubtful, and the burden must be Shout
dered by the people at large, the benefit
accruing primarily to. the speculative man
ayers, secondarily to the towns selected as
termini Of the roads.
Richmond, Judging from the pointed,
practical message of Mayor Kelley, has
done some borrowing that will not meet the
approval of the people when the tax collec-
tor calls upon them to solicit their consent
to pay interest on bonds, issued perhaps
wisely, but certainly without much public
deliberation or popular assent; not put on
the market as low as 65, but negotiated at
far less than par for per cent. bonds.
1t is reasonable and safe to assume that
the present council cannotscomplete Rich
mond, as ga finished city," but they have
done their best to fill up the measure Of
her borrowing capacity, and rendered neces-
sary such an increase of taxation as will
press heavily upon her struggling business
industries, and this without popular assent
asked or given to any one of the numer.
GUS issues of city bonds made since the
municipal government was grasped by The
political party which still controls it.
The same degree of recklessness was be
coming prevalent in country places, bu
then Shylocks could not see whence theil
''pound of flesh'' could be cut, and county
bonds were unsaleable in the stock mar
kets-New York, Baltimore, &c. For THU
our country cousins cannot be too thank
full. They have been saved from deb
which would have ended in disaster an(
by legislative provision the people must b.
consulted as to the amount of debt to b,
incurred for them by enterprising, oftei
scheming agents.
If the municipal authorities Of Rich
mond are not interdieted by law from in
creasing public burdens so recklessly, w
trust an amendment to the charter vii
make it necessary to submit such question
to popular vote, and thus divide the re
sponsibility.

'tDACK-LOG STUDIES

In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, au-
thor OF my Summer in a Garden,'' is doing his
best work. Here we haye-in a pleasant fiction
of a talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country back-log-philosophi suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social outlooks--and, enlivening all,
fresh. CRISP, yet juicy and delicious humor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press, The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day. The Boston Transcript says that 'tor
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. Ill. 'renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. MaN says it is the ''best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
n day. and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: 'BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another OF
these delightful papers will appear in the April
number of SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY, which
will be for sale by all booksellers and newsdeal-
ers. 81 q year, SO cents number
