WHAT WILL THE BONDHOLDERs DO 2

The people OF the State have very clearly
expressed their views on the subject OF the
State debt There Is not In the wide limits OF
the State an intelligent man who desires to
repudiate the debt, or shield the State from
just proportion OF its Indebtedness. But
from almost every parish Of Louisiana
comes up the wall OF bankruptcy caused
by misgovernment. Ten years Of excess
I've taxation and spoliation. with disor-
ganized labor and want of confidence, have
reduced the masses Of the country property
holders to absolute indulgence. Indeed, the
question with the taxpayers is, not what they
are willing to pay. but what they can pay.
This is the whole question In q nutshell.
Will the bondhoIders recognize and accept it2
So far they have made no response to the
piteous appeals OF the people. They have
bonds and by the five and half mills in
terest tax. When the people have pleaded
poverty and ruin, the bondholders have
answered by reading the so-called contract.
When the people have alleged inability to
pay, owing to years Of spoliation, the bond
holders have replied that the oblga-
ton Of contracts cannot be impaired. When
the people have alleged frauds, the bond
holders have set up the act Of an Infamous
Legislature, and the corrupt acts of an in
famous Funding Board. When, finally, the
people have, In their poverty and restitution,
fallen back upon the sovereignty OF their
State and affirmed Its right and power to pro-
tect them by adjusting the debt the bond
holders have threatened, through the Federal
courts, to overthrow the well settled prin-
ciples OF the constitution, and force through
judgments and arms the State to pay.
This is an alarming situation, and we bid
the Convention to stand by the rights Of the
people. At the same time we invite the
holders of Louisiana bonds to come forward
and make proposition to the representatives
Of the people for settlement. So far the
bondholders have stood aloof Neither here,
nor In New York, nor in Europe have they
deigned to make proposition to the State.
They stand on the letter of their bonds, and
refuse to discuss an adjustment. Let them
remember that the settlement of this debt Is
not legal question; that, on the contrary,
tits a political question, and that the State, In
this matter, being sovereign, it is simply a
question OF the ability Of the people to pay
and OF the disposition Of the State to force
them to pay. The people have been heard
from. Now, II there Is to be just and am
icable adjustment of the debt, let the bond
holders unite and submit to us their PROPOSE
ton,

Capt. H. r. Morrison, OF Madison parish,
died at his home In Delta last Wednesday.
Capt Morrison was thirty-eight years OF age
and a native of Virginia. He moved to Vicks-
burg after the war and thence to this State,
which he made his residence up to the time 81
his death. Capt. Morrison was suggested as
a candidate for the Constitutional Convention
to represent Madison parish, and was Endorsed
BY both Republicans and Democrats for this
position. His illness prevented his canvass
and election and Plnchhack stepped in In his
place. Capt. Morrison was one Of the most
prominent lawyers Of North Louisiana and
highly esteemed and honored by all who knew

an HISTORIC PICTURE.

In the Loan Exhibition of Art, now being
viewed in st. Patrick's Hall, there is much to
delight the eye and fascinate the mind. The
surfeited and bewildered senses linger over
the pristine glories of painted mythology;
they revel among the historic painting of me-
dievai ages; and turn with relief from the
plagiaristic art OF modern times to refresh
themselves with the visions of real and ami
mated loneliness which make them forget,
for awhile, an age and an art which is dead.
AS the living throng of spectators move on
we turn again to view the tender lights Of
Murillo, Or to watch the wonderful shades

and shadows OF Salvador Rosa until, with
many others, we pause before q picture
which touches the hearts OF all Southerners
who behold 1t with spell more potent than
that exercised by the great masters. who
lived in the dead centuries and died to let
their fame live after them.
The picture that we see Is that Of President
Jefferson Davis. 1t Is d full length crayon
portrait. It Is an historic picture and one
whose execution Is worthy Of that witnessed
In the art Of historic painting. This portrait
Is the work OF Mrs. Marie b. Ellis, of New
York, who, In addition to the attractions of
great personal beauty, possesses the highest
order OF artistic talent. In this portrait hers
Ia the work of an inspired hand; one guided
by heart which, throbbing with the purest
patriotism, was full OF love and veneration
for her subject hero.
The portrait represents President Davis at
the time of his capture by the Fedral cavalry
1t 10 a strikingly correct likeness. Its lines
and traces are wonderfully true In their ex-
preston. They faithfully represent the pure
principles, the peerless intellect the unfiinch-
Ing resolution and the dauntless spirit pos
sessed by their original, even as they are pos
sessed to-day, uneffaced by defeat or dun
geons.
To this portrait the artist has given one of
those peculiarly grand expressions which
modern art 80 often vainly tries to borrow
from the passion paintings Of past centuries
This is wondrous glance Of sadness mingled
with the look Of defiance which flashes upon
his captors. Here art Is again faithful to the
living It seems not to be the sadness that
Is born of disappointed hopes, defeated aims,
or selfish despair, but 1t is glance of sorrow
which looks far away from the vainly en-
sanguined fields Of past victories, from tbs
broken armies into his peoples homes, where
weeping women are waiting fcf the return of
vanquished heroes whose ranks were worn
away in winning their own victories till defeat
came It seems, too, a sad, prophetic glance;
one which foresees the return Of his race to
poverty, humiliation, and to ten long years
of the most bitter persecution ever visited
upon conquered people. In that one look
the artist has shown the man who was the
leader OF his people and the lion of all his tribe.

The Rising Generation.

We are pleased to see.she children
interested in THE FLORIDA AGRI-
cULTURTsr. A young gentleman of
Orange City, son of distinguished
citizen of that place, who has been
down on the Coast, writes us:
'The nearest place to the coast is
about thirty three miles. Daytona is
the most thriving place on the Coast. It
has two flowing wells and they have
quite nice water. Most of the people
over on the Coast have to drink rain wa
ter. There are good many wells over
there but they all have hard water in
them. About the best orange grove
that L saw was Mr.. Allan's. The orange
trees do not have very good chance to
grow on account of the hard winds,
While was over there I went fishing
but we did not have very good luck on
account of the sharks, they kept biting
our lines Oft but we caught seven large
sea bass, and after we got through fish
ing we went in bathing and large wave
came in and knocked me down and I
opened my mouth to hollar and L got it
full of that nasty salt water and it most
strangled me, and 1 thought I would
not go in bathing in salt water again
very soon. I think Port Orange is
about the most healthy place over
there. l like the coast very well, only
on account of the mosquitoes and sand
flies and gnats, and the drinking water.
Port Orange consists of one hotel, one
private boarding house and two stores,
and several private dwelling houses.
Yours respectfully, DICK.

The municipal election in St. Au-
gustine took place on the 18th inst,
and was decided on party grounds.
The Republicans nominated a full set
of officers, and then went to the polls
and elected them. The mayor, Hon
George S. Greene, the tax-collector
and five aldermen were elected, and
the vote was the largest ever polled
in the city. This must be a new
boon" for the Republicans, for the
Ancient City has always before been
Democratic. Mr.. Oliveros, the Dem
ocratic candidate, is a popular man,
but this time he was beaten.-Su7s
