New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-11-25
OUR CITY FINANCES.

We see the Khedive of Egypt has ap-
piled to England to send him two &C.
countants to balance up his books and set
his finances straight
1t would seem that our City Council had
better follow the example of the Khedive
to extricate itself from the deplorable
fiscal confusion in which it is involved.
In the face of complaints that the Repub-
ican party had ruined the State with
debt and taxes, the Republican majority
limited the public debt and has further
reduced this obligation by scaling away
forty per cent of its face. The Democratic
city fathers did not ask the same reduc-
ton Of corporate debt which rested on
the same property, but undertook to man
age it in its own way. The property
which could not pay State debt of
twenty-five million dollars, seems able
to pay city debt of twenty-three million
dollars. And while those creditors who
have trusted the State on the liability of
this property have been required to abate
forty per cent of its face, the creditors
who have trusted the city upon the liza
bility of the same property expect to re-
ceive the full amount of their demand.
Usually when q tenement is burdened
with debt to two creditors, and proves
of insufficient value to satisfy both, each
creditor is paid according to the amount
of his debt, but one creditor does not ex-
pect the full face of his debt while the
other loses forty per cent Of debt bond
on the same property.
The Democratic city fathers then de-
cined to accept the agency of the Repub-
ioan Legislature, and proceeded to meet
the city debt and satisfy the city creditor
by other means. Among these was de-
vice to persuade the Misses Maenhaut and
other spinstsrs to exchange their guar
anteed bonds for truly lucky numbers in
lottery, or to expect a city which can
not pay to-day to be perfectly responsible
half century hence.
Having, therefore, left the adjustment
of this debt 10 the Democratic admins
tration, the Republican Legislature did
the best thing Tor the '.landed gentry" and
other taxpaym by prohibiting the city
administration from going in debt any
further. .Ths ancient game of using
the collections Of the current year to meet

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-11-25
PARTISAN LOGIC,

The REPUBLICAN has given indisputable
evidence that the stagnation of our COM
MERGE and industry is not due to political
abuses alone. The monopolies of butchers
meat and market food, of gas, lottery or
other taxes upon consumption do not &C.
count for our commercial condition. Nor
can the taxes on the 'landed gentry"
however onerous, furnish solution. The
reasoning on which we based our propo-
sition was succinctly that other cities not
less burdened with abuses than our own
were advancing in prosperity. The facts
published months ago in regard to the
misgovernment Of New York are verified
to-day by republication in Democratic
journals. Thee total destruction of two
hundred millions of property belonging to
the "landed gentry of Chicago has been
followed by the increased population and
prosperity of that city. We have not cited
these negative evidences that New Orleans
does not owe her decline to political
0ooSco ehhouSh any ueicusc VI THESE
abuses, but because it is essential to the
cure of disease to disabuse the mind of
any inadequate cause for its existence.
We find in the Democratic pro tenn
organ Of this city the first acknowledge.
ment of the decline of New York city:
The shrinkage of values in New York
city alone is almost beyond belief, while the
manufacturing districts are, If anything, in
more deplorsble condition.
Now, New York city has debt and
rate Of taxation equal or nearly equal with
that Of New Orleans, either per capita OIL
advalorem. New York is and has been
for years past governed by Democrats, as
New Orleans III and has in great part been
governed by Democrats. New York, how.
ever, advances in taxable values and pop
ulation. ta2 4Hdans 1907 o., p ID
In the article from which We make the
above quotation we find suggested a. .
cause Of consolation that "the trouble Ia
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-11-25

not confined to this section, but is general
throughout the country--greater in the
North than here" and admits there are
''few instances even in oppressed and
misgoverned Louisiana that tell more
dreadful story than that of New York"
If, therefore, the same state of indebt-
edness exists under the Democratic city Of
New York as under the Republican gov
eminent of Louisiana; if the pecuniary
troubles which befall New York are COM
mon to the whole country, where is the
logic of attributing to special cause local
embarrassments which exist and are COM
mon elsewhere? If those evils have oc.
CURED under a Democratic city admins
tration, why attribute similar evils to
Republican administration? Why exas-
perate the people of New Orleans to the
point of civil war to punish one political
party for evils shown common to other po-
litical parties? Why propose as a panacea
for these common evils the elevation of
the Democratic party whose abuses in the
Instance of New York have been identical
with those alleged to have been perpe-
trated in the government of New Orleans?
We hope there may be an end of this
partisan logic which depends upon at
tributing to political opponents every ac-
cident which may befall the prosperity of
any community, and conceals every similar
practice by its own political friends. The
restoration of New Orleans requires some
thing more effective than partisan char
latanry, which consists solely in discharg-
ing rival physician and committing the
case to one whose practice elsewhere and
in similar cases has proven as unfortunate
as that of those it is proposed to super
sede.
The commercial case of New Orleans re-
quires the cooperation and concert of all
her citizens. A conference should be held
as to the best system which can be adopted
to secure this object. The reform of all
official abuses should be considered as one,
though not the sole, cause of stagnation,
but to command capital and confidence
there must be cessation of political and
social war upon one party by the other.
Men do not habitually carry bags of gold
into saloon and set them down on the
counter when pistols are drawn and
bowies glazing in the gaslight. Capitalists
do not care to make investments where
one partisan assures them that his oppo-
nents are thieves, while these opponents
in turn advise the capitalist that the man
he has been talking to will shoot the top
of his head off for thoughtless word or
a greenback.
We have no expectation that the Dem
ocratic party will acknowledge the COM
mon depreciation of values, nor the
general depravity Of party politicians, but
when st. Louis displays such list of men
of all parties, and New York imprisons
Senator for theft, the people of Louisiana
will cease to pursue Republicans with
shotguns, and unite with all honest men,
without regard to party, in the punish
ment Of bad men and the promotion of
good men to office.

THE CURSE OF GUIBORD.

We yield to none in our respect for the
right of personal Judgment. and would go
to war for the right of Hindoo to wor-
ship Juggernaut, provided he run his
idol on no one bat himself We have an
inhexible and impartial support for all
modes of Christian faith and an equal
respect for the rights and motives of those
who differ with us, as we expect that they
shall entertain for our own. The United
States is neutral ground where all rights
and rites are entitled to equal free exer-
else. h
With this ultra liberal profession, of faith
We 1n not comprehend why Mr.. Guibord,
of Canada, should have been cursed, be-
cause he was one of those who continued
their connection with the Institut Cana
dien after "the Institut fell under the
displeasure of the Roman Catholic Bishop
for refusing to throw out of its library
certain books that were placed in the In
dex Expurgatorius at Rome"
Granting the ecclesiastical right to pur-
sue people with fire and sword for heresy
while upon earth, we are bothered to
know how such a sentence can follow
them and be executed in the next world.
We should suppose the power tc bind and
loose, delegated authority confined to
this earth, and subject to a conflict of
jurisdiction when subject to revision and
to reversal under Omnipotent authority.
These heresies, which might awaken scru-
pies in one mind, we cheerfully concede
as articles of faith to others, and would
maintain such right of opinion. The
curse of the ground is very curious ex-
ercise of sacred authority. The depth to
which the curse penetrates would, we
suppose, be limited by grsvitation, and
would not disturb the sacredness of
any antipodal sepulture. We do not
suppose that such an anathema would
affect the productive powers of the
soil. The great primeval curse, "Cursed
is the ground for thy sake. Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, :"
was imposed upon the products of the
earth. The barren fig tree was condemned
to perpetual barrenness; but we scarcely
suppose that the soil which covered the
remains Of poor Guibord could grow
nothing but Canada thistles, and could be
perpetually inhibited from growing q
rose, or weeping willow in solace or in
sympathy with those who mourned a
good man condemned to perpetual punish
ment because he disregarded the book re-
views of his pastor. The exciting scenes
which attended the sepulchre of this
hereto, occurred in foreign land. They
seem to us, oppressed with questions of
sectional and race associations, very
trivial subjects of public discord. We
are, however, impressed with the dan
gers of religious disputes. They can never
be compromised but must be transmitted
to coming generations in undiminished
acerbity. Leaving then, to all the sacred
right to choose their own way to salvation
or to perdition, according to the lights on
shades Of their own sagacity, We may be
allowed to express the hope that no such
disgraceful occasions as have called out
