An important paper on this subject was
read before the SOcill Science Association, at
Boston, on Wednesday, By Robert P. Por-
ter, Of Chicago. He gave statistics of 100
cities in this country, showing that while
the total State indebtedness of the United
States is 1850 ,l70,976, the municipal iu-
debtedness of 100 cities is S6I3 375, ,663. or
upward of S275. 100000 more than the en-
tire State debt, which n the Southern States,
through bad government, is upward OF $780,
900 900. In the l30 cities there has been,
10 ten years past. total increase in debt of
upward of 1920, ,OOO,O 900, and al annual in
crease Of S42 600 600. The property of the
l30 cities is valued a. about So 900 600 ,O00.
Allowing for the shrinkage in values and
continu ed depression in business. the prop
erty of the tax payers has already been act
uslly mortgaged for 5 per cant pitts value,
and as the debt has increased at the rate of
$40 900 yearly, the mortgage will con
tinue to increase at the rate Of per cent
annually, and in another decade, Mr.. Porter
says, will amount to 25 per cent Of the assess-
ed valuation Of property. Mr.. Porter pre-
sented a table showing that the cost of gov
erning the eight largest cities in this country,
per head, is double the cost of the govern
ments Of eight foreign governments named,
though the latter have armies and navies to

were so thoroughly inpregnated with
liquor that their legs gave out and they
lay down in the street. They were brought
before Justice Duffy when it was discovered
that thew were deaf, dumb and drunk,
Justice Duffy wrote the following on a
sheet of paper and handed it to them to
read "You are accused of having laid
down in the street drunk, What have you
to say?" The three read the paper and
laughed at each other. andi one of them
wrote the following reply: I'VE are drunk ::
you are all right. old fellow" The Justic
wrote "You are tned each 50 or two
