4 CAPITAL BONDS ALL TAKEN ~

The opponents Of the removal OF
the Capital to Baton Rouge had cen
tered their remaining hopes upon the
inability of our citizens to fulfill the
pledge that our representatives in the
Convention had been authorized by
them and the City Council to make
to the State, that q contribution of
thirty five thousand dollars would be
given towards the restoration of the
State House.
Even in tho General Assembly was
this doubt manifested to such IN ex-
tent that u disposition was exhibited
to demand the deposit Of this
amount before the appropriation bills
had been passed.
Boldly did our representatives re-
new the pledge that Baton Rouge
would be ready before the signature
of the contracts, in accordance with
the stipulations of tho constitution.
As q last thrust the General Assem-
bly, ordained that no warrants should
be drawn until this city had made
good it's promise.
And now -Four Words, brought by
electricity, announce the fact that in
eight days the Capitol Committee
have raised the thirty thousand
dollars required to confirm orr title
to the possession of the Capital of
the State of Louisiana
"CApIrAL LOAN ALL TAKEN ~
Signed COMMITTEE is the dis
patch dated New Orleans, April 22d
1880, that has reached us.
TO those public spirited citizens,
Messrs. Richard II. Burke, William
Garig, Charles Week, Andrew Jack
son, +. M. Brooks, William G.. Ran
dolph and }. E. Blouin, composing
the Committee who have laborcd un-
ceasipgly and determinedly until the
"pound of flesh" was obtained, the
people of Baton Rouge and of the
State will ever be indebted for the
that has been reached.
Our community ought to be proud
of its great victory, and of the stead
fastncss it has shown in combating
step by step for two years and II half,
undismayed by obstacles of every
description, against powerful oppo-
siton. 1t is indeed a repetition of
the triumph of David over Goliah.
Though the motives Of our people
may have appeared selfish, still,
through their victory, will co me
the New Era that will finally re-cs-
tablish in Louisiana the government
which rightfully should be hers.
The breaking up of immoral and
dishonest combinations which have
denoraized our body polite since the
establishment of the Capital in New
Orleans will date from the restoration
of the OLD CAPITOL at Baton Rouge.
Thank God for it that lie has
given us the strength, the courage,
the consistency AND TIE MEANS to
achieve this glorious triumph.
The battle has been fought and
won, and Baton Rouge "Holds the
Fort" without doubt and without
question

The following are the comments of

subject of civil service reform are
extremely simple in substance but
are calculated, if earned out, to ac-
complish much"
New York Tribune: "The mes
sage will commend itself to the
American people by its wise and tenn
perate tone, its freedom from any
suggestion of partisanship, and, at
the same time, it's moderate yet firm
statement of certain vital principles
which Mr.. Hayes was elected to rep
resent, and which the majority of the
American people are inflexibly de
termined shall remain forever fixed
in their indestructible system of free
institutions.
New York Herald "The docu-
ment is very interesting, not merely
as an epitome of the condition of the
country from the highest source of
Information, but also for its recon-
mendations of legislation"
Philadelphia Press "The mes
sage, taken together, is a valuable
depository of suggestion en- many
public questions"
Philadelphia Ledger: ut is a
clear, business like, though rather
long, document about national affairs,
with which the people of the country
hayea lready been made quite tamil-

Baltimore Sun: Addressed as the
urgent recommendations of the mes
sage are now to a Democratic Con-
gress. upon the eve of his and their
surrender of the control of the legis-

1t is pity that the name is not
given of a man who lives near
Bloomfield, N. J., and who has in
vented neat continuance by the use
of which he is enabled TO get an hour
or two of extra sleep every morning,
and at the same time do without a
domestic servant. The idea occurred
to him, so the story goes, about a
year since, and now he has it thor
oughly in working order. He is
awakened in the morning by shrill
whistle. He at once gets out of bed,
for he knows what that whistle
means. 1t tells him that all is ready
for him to get breakfast. He dresses
and goes into the kitchen, and there
he finds bright, fresh fire, tea
kettle full Of boiling water, and other
conveniences for preparing his morn
ing meal. All this is accomplished
by means of an alarm clock with
weights, a piece of wire, sheet Of
sandpaper and some matches Paper,
wood and coal are put into the CRATE
of his cooking stove, and a teakettle
filled with water, and having tiny
whistle fitted into the nozzle of the
kettle, is placed on the stove. By
setting the alarm in the clock he can
have fire at any time he wishes.
When the alarm in the clock goes off,
weight falls and hits the wire the
wire moves and scrapeS the matches
fastened to it on the sandpaper the
matches light the paper in the stove,
the paper fires the wood and coal,
and soon a fire is under way. In "A
little while the water in the teak ettle
hoIs, and then the tiny whistle gives
the note of warning that everything
is ready and it is time to get up. The
inventor himself says Of it: "Simple
thing, and yet what a comfort it is.
There is no getting up for me now
an hour before break fast, losing that
amount of sleep, and then waiting
around for breakfast. The arrange
ment costs next to nothing, and it is
as trustworthy as anything in this
world. | have not had it patented
yet. Some persons advise me to, and
perhaps l may. / haven't any for
sale; got it UP entirely for my own
comfort and convenience, and it has
more than repaid me already. But
just think, If it were in general use
it would save many hard words and
do away considerable domestic I'M
happiness among poor people.
Doubtless it might have tendency
to make better feeling between
some men andtheir wives, by set
thing the yexing question as to who
should get up in the morning. and
build the fire. Out of this question
alone many divorce suits grow, and
this arrangement would prevent
Them"

The classical epithet "bloated
bondholder, as applied to the own
ers of Government bonds, is not only
inaccurate as a rule, but, as it is
proved now, highly ungallant as
well. The tables prepared by the
Census Office to show the distribution
of the registered four per cent. and
and -and-a-half per cent. bonds
disclose the fact that the proportion
of wsmen among the individual
bondholders is much larger than has
been generally supposed. In the
New England States. the land of
thrifty spinsters. 80 per cent. of the
bonds held by individual owners are
owned by women; in the Middle
States, 10 per cent. i; in the Western
States the same proportion, and in
the Southern States % per cent. The
statistics contained in these tables
prove with an exactness from which
there ia no escape that the public
debt is held by the people, and that
the dropsical bondhOlder is a myth,
born of the falsehoods of demagogues
and the Imagination Of dupes.

GOING FOR THE RING.-The An
mpolis Record, a Democratic news
paper, in is last issue says:
fE"There was one truth at least that
Bradley Johnson uttered Saturday
in Baltimore in the canal suit, and
that is that the State ring brushes out
honor and sense of duty in young
and ambitious men. ONce let Dem
ocrat, at all weak in nerve, have
honorable political am bition, and the
ring at once holds n oragage on his
soul. May the days of this EVIL be
numbered and early dawn the wei
come day when the good and true of
the grand and glorious Democratic
party OF this State may once more
assert itself, and when honesty, ca
pacity and fidelity to Democratic
principles be the only shibboleths
that a Democrat needs to let him in
to the honors of the party. Away
with the day when every man ia
place is expected to have big r
written on his back and a ring in his
nose with a string to it that leads up
to the hands of the Great Napoleon
of politics in this State"
