A HEALTHIER sENTIMENT,

THE bondholders' circular is dis.
approved by all our state credit ex.
changes. They have dropped down
about to the proposition which the
LEDGER has held ngle-handed and
alone among the daily papers for the
last seven years. We predicted time
and again during the late canvass that
the bondholders would take the high
credit papers and speakers at their
word and demand a settlement at very
high figures, somewhere in the neigh
borhood of dollar for dollar.
Those who undertook the contract
of preserving the faith and honor Of
the state maintained two leading prop
ositions throughout with singular zeal
and unanimity ,to-wit ~ We owe the
debt in full, for value received;
(2) we are abundantly able to pay
it, without oppressive taxation. Both
these propositions we controverted and
shall continue to do so when there is
any occasion to discuss the question.
We are glad to observe that there is a
quickening sense of Justice and practi
cal ideas in the minds of those, who to
a great extent. succeeded in leading
and directing the state credit element.
They won a victory, such as it was,
aud we cheerfully acquisca 10 the
will of the majority, though
not surrendering a single principle or
changing a conviction. We concele
that the high credit democrats are
largely in the majority, and that it is
not only their right, but their high
ard solemn duty to make a settlement
if reasonable terms can be had. By
adopting conservative course and re-
sistiny the exorbitant and un-
Just demands Of the bondholders
the high credit democrats in
the legislature may reurite
the party on high middle ground and
bring about an adjustment of this
yexed question that will satisfy the
creditors of the state and not over
burden the people. In makinga set
tlement it should be remembered that
we will have years of short crops and
financial depression from both local
and general causes, and that the most
of The money paid out as interest will
90 out OF the state never to
return and s!hat it will be an absolute
drain upon the industry and net pro
ductive capacity Of the people. Always
having this in mind, we have insist
ed on low settlement at an easy rate
o,e interest, such as could be carried
without default aud without crippling
the enc rgies aud destroying the hopes
of the rising generation who
will find This load upon their
shoulders long after we are dead and
gone. The excitement and bitterness
of the late unfortunate canvass having
subsided, and in a great measure passed
away, it is to be hoped that the best
mind and thought Of the state will be
directed to a fairand proper solution OF
this question. 1t is a matter of business
and not Of sentiment. Having elm
mated brass bands, regalias, prancing
steeds and gayly deeked marshals,
torch light professions, bad blood and
worse whisky, let us have a strong in
fusion of fcommon sense and experience
where there has been so much blather,
nonsense and misrepresentation. If
the next legislature does not make q
settlement that will stand there is no
telling when it will be done or what
confusion and misfortune will follow.

THE MEANING OF BOON.

Everybody, it seems, has been misin-
formed as to the origin of the boom .
of the term we mean, not Of the
"boom' itself, which everybody knows
owes it's origin, along with the shum,' .
to the n. P. BOOM" has commonly
been supposed to be derived, not from
the blooming in the bittern," but from
the booming noise made by a. river in
flood. 1t seems that there is a much
more plausible explanation than this.
Miners IN the Far West have a prac-
tlce OF conducting explorations by a
means which they call booming" 1t
consists in daming up some gorge on
a mountain side and allowing the wa
ter from the melting snow to accumu-
late until an immense reservoir has
been formed. When the pond is full
an outlet is made, and the water rushes
down with irresistible force, over
whelming everything in its path
Rocks, trees, and boulders are hustled
along, the top soil is carried away and
huge raVlnes are cut in the mountain
side. Sometimes gullies Is and 100
feet wide are formed, extending to the
foot OF the mountain. Rich veins
and deposits Of ore are often uncover
ed by this process, and the word
booming" describing it is seen to
have some real significance. 1t is sin
gular that the word boomer is used
among the native Australians to signi-
fy anything great or wonderful. A
large animal of any kind is called a
"boomer," though more frequently the
word is used by the settlers to indicate
the male kangaroo. The term is seen
again in boomerang" a word describ-
ing singular missile weapon, made Of
hard wood, and used by the natives of
Australia. -Toro21to Globe.
