A Dangerous Torpora

Torpor or inactivity of The kidneys is
seriously dangerous to those organs.
since it is the precedent of diseases
which destroy their su~bstanceand endan-
ger lite. This siuggispness may be over
come by stimulating them. not excessive
~, but moderately, an efec. produced BY
Hostetter's Stomach Bitte.s, q general
invigorant and Alternative, possessing di-
Msetic properties of no ommoE order.
The impetus whichethis admirable medi
cine gives to their eyaeuative junction
cannteracts any tendency to congestion
Whichma q exist in their tissues. Both
they and their associate organ, the blad-
der, are inyigorated as well as gently
stimulated by the Bitters. which ezerts.a
kindred influence upon he stomach, Ey-
or and bowels, and by strengthening tie
system, enables it to withstand us!arial
epidemics, to which when exposed il
might other wise succumb.

ing to the lack of the necessary
data upon which to base a judg-
ment. | am told by the Chair
man Of the committee on the
State debt, that such a conglome-
rated mass of the debt was made
by the Funding Board that 1t is
impossible to discriminate the
good bonds from the bad, owing
to the difficulties mentioned. In
my opinion the Convention will
never be able to arrive at any
definite conclusion regarding this
question. Perhaps time may lar
nish the missing finks-wLich will
enable some future legislative
body to properly investigate the
matter. A committee of the Cor
vention is now in consultation
with a large number Of the State
creditors trying to effect some ami,
cable adjustment. The burden Of
the State debt can be greatly d.
minished bl cutting down the in
terest from seven to four per cent,
and this will undoubtedly be done
by the Convention. AS the bond
ed debt Of the Stale has forty
years to run, an immense relief to
the taEpavee1rs; can thus be afforded.
Ny idea is TO limit State taxation
to a low rate, and leave the expen-
ses Of the government and the
Stale debt to accommodate itself
within that limit. And to this
complexion it will come at last.
for | do not believe that any ami
cable arrangement can be made
satisfactory both to the State and
its creditors.
The Convention is composed
mainly Of able and patriotic men.
actuated with an earnest desire
and determination 10 afford sub.
stantial relief to an impoverished
tax-ridden people. Although the
Convention may not be able to ac
complish all the people hoped fol
and expected, it will nevertheless
form a constitution which vii
vastly alleviate the present dis
tressing situation, and place Loui
siana upon a basis Of future happi
ness and prosperity.
Yours very truly,
E. Z. KING.
