Sometimes we wonder If some of
the fellows who are now prating
about cutting down the expenses of
the State, will vote next winter for
n proposition to give the MISSOURI
papers thousands of dollars out of
the State treasury for nothing, as
they did last winter. They make q
great fuss about the State institu-
lions, but they will vote away Sl5,-
600 or $4,000 for stamps, maps,
double sets OF books, and useless
newspapers, without wincing.

A letter from the Yellowstone

DEBTS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.

The Cincinnati Commerciai has
compiled a table of the State debts
now owed by the leading Southern
States, and 1t is perfectly frightful
to contemplate. This table shows
that the indebtedness Of nine of
these States is about two hundred
and eighty-three millions of dollars,
while their assessed valuation is
given at less than seventeen hun
dred millions. These debts &re di-
vided among the States named as
follows:
Alabama had a debt of few hun
dred thousands before the war, now
il is over eleven millions, or eleCeR
per cent. on her assessed value. Ar
kansas owes nearly ten millions, six
millions having been piled on in
two years from 1870 to 1872. She
owes nearly t1oeIre per cent. of her
entire Valpat Tennessee owes
$3l ,00O, 600, or about ttceiUe per cent.
of her valuation. Georges, in 1870.
owed $6,500.O00; in January, 1874,
she owed 1891 800, on top of this
the cities and towns owe Sl5.000.000
more, borrowed money, or S31 ,000,-
900; she is mortgaged to the amount
OF fourteen per cent. Virginia
owes $50, COG, 600, portion OF which,
however, was CONTRACTED before the
war for internal improvements.
She Is indebted fifteen per ceaE. on
her valuation. South Carolina,
which owed S7,666, 900 in June, 1870,
now owes S24,6SS,S35i To this add
100000 local indebtedness, and
we have total debt of 10000, 900.
owed by q State having only a VAL
uation of SlSS.9l3,337, or sixteen
per cenk. Florida owes So 500. 600
on a taxable value OF only $4,000
900, or EIcsnty per cent. North Car
olinA owes $50, soc, 900, nearly tlcen-
ty-HUe per es5lL., or One-foprth OF all
she is WORTH Louisiana caps the
climax, owing something like $780,
100000, or ttCenty-eight per csRk.
These are terrible facts, but their
correctness is voaehed for, aud may
be taken as reliable.

It will be seen that he states that the debt Of
