San Antonio Express.
We met old Nose yesterday, and noticed
that there was a dark cloud lowering over
his respondent brow.
"What's the matter, Uncle?" we asked.
He shook his head as if he had nothing
left to live for, and said:
Else in peck of trouble. De Lord knows
where dis heah is gwine to end. Ise done
glib it up
'sWhat is the trouble abopt?''
After several signs which seemed to come
up from the bottom of his boots, he explain
ed that he was the secretary of the local
colored lodge of Free Masons; that he was
the books he was paid by the lodge
$40 month; that every Sat
urday night, after the lodge was over, he
carried the books home, and turned them
over to the cole CONAN, Aunt Dinah,' for
safe-keeping, and she slowed them away in
her trunk, ''along wild her 'fskal flowers, and
fedders, and fnery, and sch.' He also stat
ed that he had forgotten to mention to Aunt
Dinah that he was receiving $40 month for
| keeping the books, and he had uniformly
| forgotten to turn over to her the aforesaid
$40, but had squandered the same for his
| own little personal expenses; that some un
known demon had informed Dinah that old
Nose was getting $40 for keeping the books,
and consequently, when he remarked the
otler evening that it was time for him to go
to the lodge, and requested her to hand him
out the books, instead of doing SO she sat
down on the trunk, and positively refused to
turn over the documents until he paid over
the $40. When he told her the $40 were
his'n for keeping the books, she retorted:
'Who's been keepin' dem Jar books? Hasn't
been keepin' de books in de trunk all de
time? Han out dem funds watts comm to
me for keepin' de books"
"What did you tell her, Mose?"
81 tole her wanted dem books TO keep de
minits in, dat she didn't know how to keep
de books, but she lowed she was gwine to
show me she knowed how to keep De books,
and foah God! she is keepin' dem. De lodge
has pinted committee to Investigate my ac-
counts, and dar she is squattin' on de trunk
holdin' out her ham for de so Use done

Financial Condition of Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, April 5.-Business and official
circles are somewhat exercised by publications
in Eastern and Western journals, rejecting
upon the condition of Louisiana, warning off
immigration by picturing bankruptcy, preju-
dice and lawlessness, and asserting that indus
trial occupations are taxed out of exist
ence. Prominent State officials claim that
the laws were never more
promptly enforced and that as to lawlessness
and crime the State would compare favorably
with any Northern State. Taxation has been
reduced from IA mills to Is mills, aside from
the saving of fully half million yearly by re-
duced fees of officials and the repeal of bad laws,
the legislation already enacted, which goes
into effect next year, reduces the taxes to IL
mills, and possibly to 9 mills. Manufacturers
and industries are specially exempted by law,
and the only additional object
OF taxation to be added to
this years assessment is bank shares The
State officials claim that the State is recovering
as rapidly as possible considering the embar-
easements and burdens created in the past, and
that the best evidence of her condition is
the fact that seven State tax
collectors in New Orleans made a monthly
settlement with the auditor of state to-day
amounting to $3.50, 900, the collections of State
taxes in March being unprecedented. Gov.
Nichols says the tax this year for general fund
purposes Is ~ mills upon $177OOO, 900 of
assessments. Before the war the tax
for general fund purposes was % mills on
1913 millions of assessments, or $4,000 less
now than the reduced taxation fund, which re-
mains now.

A land hunter found in Big Stone county
recently, eight pieces of land, either one of
which would suit him and all of which were
vacant when he left the Benson land Office.
He made good time back to locate one of his

on during his absence. Such things have
happened at other land Offices in other times

LONDON. April 5.-If the attitude of the Rou-
rnanian government is real not feigned, it is
difficult to see how rupture can be avoided
when Russia proceeds to enforce the treaty of
San Stefano, and collision between Russia,
England and Austria might be brought about
in this way. The protest referred to by Prince
Gortschakoff in his conversation with the Rou-
nanian agent in the early part of this week,
brought before secret sitting of the Rou-
manian chambers last Sunday by members
hostile to Russia, but no action will be taken
till the result Of M. Boratrino's mission to
Vienna is officially communicated to the cham
bers. He will return to-day.

The election is only four weeks off.
1t will be held on Tuesday, the 9th Of
November The Importance of printing
and circulating tickets should not be
overlooked; and we presume District
and County Committees in localities
where the thoughts of the people are not
necessarily occupied by the dreadful
pestilence, Will give it attention. The
candidates themselves, we trust will not
remit the matter wholly to the Commit
tees. Though many of the newspapers
have been compelled to suspend in CON
sequence of the epidemic, there are nu-
merous printing offices in the districts
and they are available for printing tickets
and will fill orders at moderate rates.

1t will be gratifying to know that the
epidemic which has for two months rageC
in the Mississippi valley extending from
the mouth of the great river to the Ohio
and the country bordering it, is to bt
investigated. The disease is not indig
uous to this country. 1t does not come
here spontaneously. 1t is imported
and the important objects of the investi
CATION will be: 1st. To ascertain the
means by which it may be kept away.
And, 81. To ascertain how it may be
stamped out before it begins Its deadly
march among our population. 1t is an
object worthy of the thoughtful consid-
as well rs scientists and humanitarians.
The pestilence not only destroys human
life, but it paral Yves commerce, interferes
with industry and stagnates business, all
of which are attended with privation
and suffering apart from what is caused
directly by the plague itself.
The money required for the expenses
of the commission has been advanced by
public spirited citizens who will look to
the Federal Government, it being under
stood that persons high in authority have
pledged that they will use their influence
to secure the necessary appropriation.
Foremost among those who have urged
the project and promoted it with ma
terial cid, is public-spirited and
philanthropic woman Of New York.
As on other great occasions, the gentler
sex has stepped forward to take the lead
when men have faltered. History re-
lates that Columbus met nothing but
ridicule and contempt from the men
with whom he pleaded for assistance to
carry out his grand design of discovering
a new hemisphere. 1t was Isabella, who
instinctively grasping the scheme, and
in a transport of enthusiasm exclaimed,

For the Corinth Record. ]

For the Corinth Record
In regard 10 the terrible scourge now
affi citing the State of Mississippi, there Is
one thing that forces itself on the mind of
every Iooker-on. Never until now did the
State have an organized Board of Health.
This Board was created by our last Legs
lature, certainly tor purpose, and at some
expense to the State. What was that puf-
pose, aud where has been the good? Was
it the duty of the Health Board 70 picket
our frontiers and quarantine our seaport
towns? Was it their duty, by recommend
ing to the people timely sanitary health
measures, to stay the approach OF the rava-
ger; and falling in This, To give warning or
his coming? Up to the time that the yell
low fever made its appearance at ill-fated
Grenada, we are not apprised that the Board
ever met, or il it did, that it took any steps.
or adopted any measures to guard the State
against this much dreaded plague of the
south After the wall from Grenada had
resounded through the State, we believe the
Secretary issued call for meeting of the
Board, but if they ever met, we are not
aware OF it. Certain il is, that during this
long night of woe, deSolatiOn and death, no
word of advice or consolation has ever
reached US from that erudite tribunal.
Towns and communities throughout the
State. have been left alone TO adopt such
measures of self-protecton, as their own
common sense might wisely or unwisely
dictate. Under this order of things some
com munities have escaped and others fallen
victims to the peStilt nce-but all for the
want of instruction, system and salutarY
advice, which the State Board might and
ought TO have given, have suffered as much
from panic and disquietude, though
the fever itself was everywhere in the State.
Towns are broken up and deserted that
never saw case OF yellow fever; travel
everywhere stopped; commerce and trade
destroyed for the time being; schools sus-
pended in perfectly healthy neighborhoods;
people have fled from good, comfortable
homes and are camped in tents aud rootless
cabins, along muddy streams and in seques-
tered spots where nothing but malaria ever
went before. and pail as dark as the shadow
of the tomb is everywhere and on every
thing. Wherefore was this State Board
ever createdY If for the aggrandzement
of its individual members, perhaps it an
swel well-but if for the safety protec-
ton and good of the people, it is certainly
