THE STATE DEBT.

The convention Democrats in this State are
not repudlationists. The reputation OF a
debt we have solemnly obligated ourselves to
pay might enable us to reduce the rate of tax
alton; but 1t would strike blow at the inter-
ests of this State from which they would not
recover in twenty years. Itwould drive capt.
tai away from us and strike down our COM
mercial credit. The convention men are GER
tainIy in favor of reducing the rate of taxa
ton; but they propose to do it by abolishfng
every superfluous office and reducing all sala-
ries to what they were before the war.
The policy Is not TO break faith with the
creditors Of the State but to render the bur.
den Of the debt less oppressive by curtailing
useless expenses in the administration OF the
government. Let the holders Of our State
securities trust the people and they will have
no cause to regret it. The only way to create
a. Reputation party in Louisiana, Is for a
combination of rings to defeat constitu-
tional convention, and thus prevent the peo-
pIe from relieving themselves of the burden
they bear.
The Natchitoches VindicGtOr in it's usual
vigorous and unequivocal style expresses the
views of the convention Democrats on this
l
subject:
GAS q sweet morsel :" says our Natchitoches
contemporary, "these people who oppose an
honest constitution, continually roll under
| their tongue the stale quid that the 'conven-
tionists,' favor the reputation Of the State
debt and the destruction of the State credit.
"Such charge as that made against honest
and honorable men only shows to what des-
| perate straits these people are reduced In
their LOYALTY to bad in order to meet our ar
ouments In order that this charge may not
have longer the semblance of contemptuous
most emnhatically that we are In favor of the
most rigorous payment of every dollar OF our
State Indebtedness. We accepted the sealing
law as a com promise with our credltors, an9
we intend to insist that It shall be maintained
| to the payment of the utmost farthing. This,
| too. Ia the sentiment OF our people, and we
| cali on all our confreres IN favor Ct CONSTR
| tntionaI convention to give the Lie, for once
and hi. to This stale charge Of our being re.

JAMES CHALARON,

The death of JAMES CHALARON has brought
deep sorrow and regret TO all circles where he
was known and none have felt 1t more poig-
nantly than the Board OF Directors of the Union
National Bank. In whose midst his hours Of &C
tivitY and usefulness have for years been
passed.
Possessed OF bright intellect, Judgment be-
yond his years, and the strictest integrity; of
unfaggng industry and an abiding sense of
duty which knew no wavering. he added to these
a heart OVERLOOKING with kindness and SYM
pathy for all that was good end true that won
for him the love and esteem OF those who came
In contact with him In the daily walks of life.
To his stricken family he leaves o bright lega-
oy of love and worth as enduring as memory
itself. Far better for them than sculptured
marble or shapely cenotaph is this monument
craven on the hearts of all whose happiness 1t
was to know him.
Deeply as our sympathies go forward to them
In their bereavement, keenly as the loss falls
upon our own hearts, there must be alloy to
grief In the cherished recollections of one so
noble and pure: and when time shall have al
levlated the panR his death causes. our departed
friend and eoworker shall come TO us again and
again, a pleasing vision of one dear to us In
life, and who,
''----falthful and Just,
Keeps something of his glory In his dust"
BY order of the Board of Directors:
jy21 % O. KOHN, President.

The report OF public lands sold in the North
western States show the immense rush OF Inn
migration In that direction. In the States OF
Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota and the
Territory of Daceta, the government for the
half year ending June 80, has disposed Of
$40, 1893 acres OF land, fully four times as
much as ever before disposed of In the same
period. This would indicate an emigration
OF some $4,000 families or 100000 people in
half year. This, however, was only about
half the land taken up in these States, as the
railroads sold even more than the govern
ment. Although wild, these lands commanded
MS high price as improved land In Louisiana
Such Is the fruit of immigration.

Many students from neighboring colleges
are earning money during the summer by
serving as walters In the White Mountain ho-
tells. A Cambridge man is waiter In one
hotel, Dartmouth senior is assistant head
waiter In another and Freshman from
Bates College Is selling photographs in the hall
of The hotel. Weare not told II 1t Is thrift that
prompts these students in thus putting In
their summer vacation, or pure freak OF
anobhery. like that which made stage-drtver
out of the patrician Delaney Kane. However
ahis may be, the papers say that the collegi-
ate walters give more satisfaction than the
old ones, "as they keep their thumbs consci-
antiously out OF the SOUP" Blood will tell.

A fact brought out by the deaths from sun

thing. Not q summer has passed over Gin
cinnati, IL seems, without q large number OF
deaths from the heat; not as heavy q NOR
tality, of course, as the present heated spell
has produced, but still enough deaths to show
that ''the Queen city of the West, the Paris
Of America" was an unsafe place In the sum

The Texas State Convention. working
under the two-thirds rule, has come to dead
lock, Ballot after ballot is being cast, and
there seems no present prospect of a nomina-
ton, Gov. Hubbard and ex-Gov. Throck-
morton, the two leading candidates, are both
able men and good Democrats, and either Of
them would make o good Governor. But
under the circumstances, would 1t not be well
10 drop both of them and unite on John Il
Reagan. Judge Reagan is one of the ablest
men In the South, and Democrat in prin.
chile as In name. He is the only one of the
Texas delegation who had the pluck to vote
for the army bill, and his people ought tt
honor and reward him for that brave Demo

The total number of sunstrokes in st. Louis
during the past week are reported by the
GoarieY-JostYYsaI as 1000. The deaths from
heat In Chicago Tuesday were much higher
than reported by the telegraph, thirty-three
persons falling victims. The telegraph failed
also to give the results Of the hot weather In
several smaller towns. In Terre Haute, lnd.'
Wednesday, there were fifty sunstrokes ana
seven deaths; in Peoria, ILL.,, seven deaths; In
DUBUQUE, Ia, six deaths; in Milwaukee, one
hundred and three sunstrokes and twenty
three deaths, etc. Taking into consideration
the size and population of these towns the
mortality from the weather was proportion
atalv much worse in them than in either Chi
caro- or st. Louis.
