THE FRAUDULENT DEBT

Even the opponents of a readjastment adj
nit that large portion of th9present debt of
Louisiana Is fraudulent tThey contend. how
ever, that 1t Is impossible, since the funding
process of1S75, to distinguish the honsst bonds
from the dishonest and, therefore, the propo-
sition That the debt as 1t now stands should
be. scrutinized and sifted- the good separated
from the bad-is sheer folly.
The DEMOCRAT, together with a vast ma
jority of the people, insists that the fraudu-
lent portion Of the debt Is no proper charge
upon the State, aud should be repudiated out
right and In Its entirety. When discovered
the honest debt, and that only, should be
scaled down to the ability OF the people to
pay. at n rate of interest not to exceed per
cent II the fraudulent debt cannot be deter
mined, then every outstanding bond is tainted
with fraud and should be 80 considered and
treated.
The Democratic convention in Webster
parish took the only proper view of this
matter, which Is the view held by the DEMO
GRAFT: First, that the debt must be sifted; ;
and second, that II this was found TO be i'm
practicable, then the State should refuse to
pay any creditor until he had shown his bond
TO be good one. The bondholders theory Is
the reverse of this. They hold that the bur-
den of proof lies with the State to prove that
the bonds are illegal, and not with them to
show that their claim is good. The utter
nonsense Of this reasoning is fully set forth
in the claim that the bonds are all alike and
the admission that many of them were born
of corruption and issued for Illegal purposes
1t follows that If the bonds are tainted with
fraud they constitute no valid claim against
the State. 1t is the duty of the holders
to remove this faint before they can be consid-
cred in any sense as creditors of the State
If this cannot be done, as they contend, then
they should gladly avail themselves of any
compromise the convention may In its
wisdom see fit to propose.
But we believe the fraudulent bonds can be
traced, and insist that the effort should be
made. When 1t Is done they should be cast
aside DIS destitute of all value. III IL cannot
be done, every bondhoder should be made to
show that his bond was issued for legal and
honest purpose With the bondhoIder and
not the State must rest the burden Of proof

/ The last fourth OF March will remain a
memorable day in American politics. On
that day the last carpet-bagger, with the ex-
ception of Kellogg, who still holds on by a
title that will not serve him to much pur-
pose In a Democratic Senate, took his leave OF
the Senate. Spencer of Alabama, Dorsey OF
Arkansas and Conover of Florida, all OF whom
have been prominent in every job and theft,
from that OF the Presidency down, that has
transpired during their senatorial careers,
were all consigned to the tomb of the Capu-
let's. To this list must be added Patterson,
who boosted some time since that there was
give years good stealing left in South Caro-
lima yet" and who has been kept out of the
penitentiary of South Carolina for two years
past only by the corrupt courts OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, which have secured him
immunity by releasing him on writs OF
habeas corpus.
Besides these there are some other notable
characters who ended their official careers
on that day, notably Stanley Matthews, who
goes back to private life without being called
on to explain his Anderson correspondence
Nipple Mitchell, the first man with an alias
that ever got into the Senate, and the attorney
in fact In the Pacific Railroad rings, and
Efigy Sargent. the conspicuous champion Of
the Robson and Boss Shepherd swindles

The anti-Chinese agitation Is growing II
serength in Australia every day. The Aus
tralian colonies are trying every possible
means to keep the Mongolans out of theil
country. but have met with very little sue
cess, so far. The parliament of Queensland has
passed a dozen or more bills to restrict this
immigration, but they have all been found tc
be in conflict with the treaty between Great
Britain and China, and have, therefore, been
dsallowed by the home government Ii
Victoria all government contracts contain a
provision prohibiting the employment of Chit
nese labor on public works, and while this
does not actually prohibit the immigration OF
the Celestials, 1t tends to prevent the country
being flooded with them. 1t is the same In
all the other colonies, and there Is nc
doubt but that in q very few years some
means will be found to prevent this inroad
The danger to Australia from Chinese imm-
grafton is tenfoid as great as In California
That island continent, 1t must be remembered
Is fifteen thousand miles nearer China than
the Pacific slope. There Is no section of Cali
fornia where the Mongolian inhabitants ex-
coed the whites in number, but In many por-
lions of Queensland the population stands
twenty Cinnamon to one European.

New England used to boast that she was
the head and centre of the Woman's Rights
movement, but this movement seems to have
gone to the far West. Wyoming and Idaho
already enjoy female suffrage, and in Colo
RADIO popular vote on the question of allow
ing women the elective franchise was de-
feated by a very small majority The female
suffrage idea has invaded Minnesota also, as
Is shown by the fact that the Senate Of that
State has, by vote of Is to 9, instructed Min
nesota's Representatives in Congress to try
and secure the adoption of a constitutional
amendment which will give the ballot to all
females as well as all males.

Atlanta, Ca, is agitating the reduction Of
the interest on her bonded debt. Encouraged
by the example Of the State it is proposed
that the city shall attempt to refund all old
bonds at per cent, and it is believed that
there will be no difficulty in floating the new
loan. 1t will be remembered that Georgia
repudiated $9,000OOO Of carpet-bag bonds two
or three years ago. According to the Louisi-
ana bondholders' views this arrangement Of
the debt should have plunged the State and
her citizens into the deepest financial and
commercial distress. The fact is that the
credit Of Georgia and her citizens has been
greatly improved. By all means, IL read
Iustment of our debt will cause this sort of
distress" let us have it.
