true repudiationists OF the Louisiana debt. On

sure that settlement will be ratified. Yetthere

MORE FOOLISH BRAVADO.

The Times publishes another brutum futmen
from a New York paper, The Public (which it
indorses as a paper of very large circulation
and popularity, against this State and people
on account of the debt ordinance.
The Public, as quoted by the Times, as
sumes the certainty OF judicial recourse and
power to defeat the execution Of this ordi-
nance and compel the taxpayers to pay the
bondholders their seven per cent interest.
Both the Times and The Public. and oil such,
are herein continuing the mischievous course
which has operated SO injuriously to the
bondholders heretofore. ~
This people may be irritated and preju-
diced, but they cannot be frightened Or hui
INFLATED by any such threats.
They will pay, when they are able, all their
Just debts. They nave submitted to their
creditors a just statement OF their condition
and resources, and, recognizing the face of
their debt, have offered to pay such interest
as will not reduce them to q still lower degree
of impoverishment and exhaust their means
of resuscitation in the future.
II their judicial recourse could be made
effective, they would only initiate the folly Of
Ln6 man Ill Une 1aDle, VINO kllleu Iue goose
that laid the golden egg.
Til late Convention reduced the expenses
OF the government over q million OF dollars.
With this reduction and m honest admins
tration 1t Is easy to perceive that all values
must advance and the assessment rapidly
augment to an amount which will make even
the reduced taxation adequate to the pay
ment Of the interest and the creation OF q
sinking fund to assure the ultimate payment
OF the principal OF the bonds. When such
results are SO assured it would be idle and
mischievous to engage in the attempt to en-
seizable effects, even If there was q clearly
admitted right OF resort to legal process.
That there Is no such right or power In the
creditors of a sovereign State, let the Times
and Public fulfill the duty of honest journal
lists by publishing the letter Of Daniel Web
ster in 1889 to Barring Brothers, to inform
their readers and enligilten the bondholders
and save them from foolish n expensive
litigation. It Is in that letter the great ex-
FOUNDER of the constitution distinctly rejects
any such modes Of enforcing claims or debts
against States, and advises all persons who
invest in these securities to rely for their pay
ment on the pledge of the faith Of the States
and the development of their capacity to pay.

up On the new line of travel. The dis
covery Of the passage around the Cape OF
Good Hope again changed the route from the
East to the West, and old established Euro
pean cities fell into decay and new ones rose
into importance and %opulence. In late years
England has projected railroads through
Syria, and Europe has constructed an inter-
oceanic canal through Suez at enormou cost
to bring the trade Of the Pacific into closer
relations with the Atlantic.
How the canal through Nicaragua would
affect the trade OF the world we will not ven
ture to say. But 1t must carry over its bosom
a vast portion OF the trade between the East
and the West, and New Orleans, lying in the
track Of that trade, must be the first and
greatest beneficiary of this great enterprise
on the Atlantic coast of America.
Every consideration, therefore, Of self-in-
terest should impell this city to interest her
self in the construction Of this canal via
Nicaragua or ~Tehauntepec. The Panama
route would certainly benefit New Orleans
but either of the other routes is better for her
and for this country, and she cannot but take
O deep interest In the American view Of the
question. A vigorous, active and determined
stand on the part Of the United States to con-
troll this enterprise will, without doubt, force
the Europeon capitalists to accept our line,
| and Europe Is SO deeply Interested that in any
line we may force upon the world her govern
ments or her capitalists will invest their

On Monday a fire broke out in a Memphis
book store, which threatened, at one time, to
prove a serious contlagration. An investiga-

was incendiary, the burned house having
been saturated with coal oil before being
fired. This fact, when it became public,
naturally created the greatest alarm, in view
Of the repeated threats Of negro d%esperadoes

The reporter walked along the edge of the lake in
the direction of the Park Garden aud found that the

distance OF several hundred feet. In places IL

The National Committees of the
National and Greenback Labor parties
have determined to find out, if they
can, wheather there is enough left of
their respective parties to huddle to.
gether and hold a National Conven.
tion which will be visible to the naked
eye. They have issued a call for a
conference, therefore, in Washington
early in January, and steps are to be
taken to nominate a candidate for the
Presidency. And no doubt these
astute politicians will take care to
choose a candidate who will be ready
to run this canpaign with plenty of
hard money. The believers in "iat
money" believe in it-for other people.
In view of the recent elections this
call reads like a very extensive DO.
lltical or greenback joke.
