The ROumanian Jews.

In Roumania Jew cannot own real estate.
He can own the house in which he lives, but
he cannot own the ground on which the house
stands, and under no circumstances can ne
become a landed proprietor. BY this stipua
ton. and others Of similar purpose exclud-.
Ing the Jew from any natural investment OF
his money, the law itself has made him n
uSurer and he has not lacked customers. The

IS very common affair that, Rouna-
MAN magnate goes to Paris and squanderS
in one or two seasons the revenues OF
ten or twenty years, and in order to achieve
this feat he must have recourse to the Jew,
with whom he makes transaction OF very
curious character. AS the legal interest on
money Is very low in Roumanla, the no a
loan-taker receives only 81, 900, but binds him
self to pay interest on $4,000, and, as security
for this fictitious sum, he gives the Jewish
mOney-lender mortgage on his estate. lie
can do so with perfect safety, for, In the hands
of the Jew, this mortgage Is rather flaIm-
less instrument. 1t may help him to get tae
interest, but 1t is OF no use to him In getting
back the capital II he determines to fore
close the mortgage, and put the estate OF his
debtor under the hammer, he gives occasion
only to some merry-making. All the frlends
and clients of the magnate assemble, and the
auction begins under general carousal. No
body bids, and II anybody did he would be
shot down Immediately, as has happened
more than once. Under shouting and yelling
the mock proceedings go on, until finally
when the feast Is at its height, the magnatt

Haughtily he moves up to the table and bids
five cents The bid Is accepted by the repre-
sentative OF justice, and toasting the Jew
perhaps condescending to pull his beard, tn
magnate rides away under wild applause
/ having thus cleared off his debt.

A prominent Democrat OF North Louisiana,
who has been elected to the Legislature, asks
us the question, "What do you think is the
proper time for the meeting Of the conven-
tiOn?"
This is a matter we have not thought about,
as debatable question, for years long. and

been redeemed long ago. and that she has not

State. It could have been done, and ought to

not untimely.
We answer, even in the candor Of private
intercourse, that the sooner Louisiana Is re-
deemed the better. Better for all, both
whites and blacks, that Louisiana should
have an honest and settled government
But this cannot be until there Is an eruption
of virtue and intelligence.
And SO we reply that the Legislature
should call a convention to frame a new con
stitution at the earliest moment. Months
weeks and even days are Of Importance now
because we cannot afford to await the result
of the election In 1880. The people Of Louisi

TIE GOOD TINE COMING

The belief is strong among the business
circles of the country that if the European
congress secures peace, and our own congress
leave the financial changes it has made to
produce their effect without further interior
ence, tie coming fall will see a sharp and en-
couraging revival of business. The brilliant
harvest with which a kind providence is
already blessing our country; the approach
toward specie basis; the abundance of capt.
tai, and the certainty of new foreign de-
mand for our surplus products when peace
confidence in the minds of all who study ''the
signs of the times" The low prices at which
goods can now be bought is another stimulant
to trade. We know that merchandiseis low as
it can be, and it follows that those who buy
at the present low point will be sure to Sc
cure paying profits. When once the move to
buy is begun, everybody will see that the
present opportunity to invest capital to ad-
vantage can never return; all want to gain a
share of the advantages low prices offer, and
the movement will be an eager one. The
keen observers who first discover the vast ca
pabilites for making money that now exist,
will become rich by investing their capital
before the grand rush and hurry comes to
obtain stocks before rising prices have
snatched away the golden moment. There
is a good time coming" and, unless some I'M
seen catastrophe occurs to destroy all that
looks so bright to-day, it will be here the
coming fall. Those who would profit by
what is at hand cannot be too observant, so
tina when the right moment comes they may
be prepared to act, and lay the foundation of
the wealth the approaching prosperity will
secure to well-directed enterprise.

that the heavy duties laid on many articles
of prime necessity are ipjuring the interests
of the country and draining the resources OF
the working man, is becoming SO clearly per-
ceptible that an unmistakable sentiment is
arising among the people that will condemn
and annihilate it. The monopolists, who

who seize the oyster and leave to the people
the shells-are catching sight of the signs of
awakening among the people, and they are
In terror for their unjust gains, and like the

loudly the excellence of what has been so

the coming change, is fully developed

lege that has attracted its attention,
that paper says: That in a graduating
class of seventy-tw0 members, all but nine
are free-traders; of another, that only six in
eighty coming graduates are protectionists;
and so far as the reports reach, it is conclu-
sively shown that the free traders
are concentrating their attention upon schools
and colleges, with the expectation that when
those who are now taught become teachers,
m lnuacturers. merchants and Legislators,
they will inculcate and maintain the opinions
