The Era this week fills a column
with quotations from the STANDARD
and comments thereon to what pur-
pose we cannot see. 1t makes a sort
of dialogue of it with the devil. We
would suggest that if there were fewer
communings with that character in that
sanctum there would be more outspoken
honesty in the columns filled from that
quarter. As for our own position on
the 1908 none but an idiot is excusa.
bic for ignorance of it. We opposed
it first and last and worked against
it. But when it became a law we
counseled submission to the decisions
of the courts upon it, and a wise and
practical financeering to ''liquidate" il
at the lowest possible figure. We
imagine that the trouble is that the
editor of that whining journal dom
know what "liquidate" means, that be
ing the word we then used.

Maj. Sykes proposition makes the
SIS, 100000 of small bonds payable
in thirty years, with A or 3 per cent.
interest, issued under the sanction of a
constitutional convention. This is the
reason why they would sell at par,
while the 1908 bonds, bearing only 8
per cent. and not due for SO years,
would bring in the markets only 60 OF
20 cents on the dollar. Hence S15,,
100000 of the former sold at par
would pay for S25, 100000 of the latter
sold at 60 cents, and it is thought the
amount funded will not exceed s25,

So far from favoring the calling of
the Supreme Court together to try the

porter of the Chattanooga Times, be-
fore the subject was named in the
American, that the case "would not and
should not be tried till the December
term" and in the same connection he
said that no debt tar should be collected
till the suit was decided; and he said
the same in substance to the editor Of
the STANDARD, and it was published
by us in our issue of the 9th of July

The fifteen millions of small bonds
suggested by Maj. Sykes are not to be
an increase of the State debt, but will
reduce that debt from twenty-five mil
lions to fifteen millions-that is, make
the State debt ten millions less than it
now is. If they can not be thus used
to lessen the debt they are not to be is
sued at all.

In justice to Maj. Sykes we feel con-
strained to say that he does not in his
letter, nor out OF it, defend the coupon
feature. He has been all the time and
still is opposed to it, but says that fea-
ture is not as bad as lit is made TO ap.
pear, and the way to prevent its evil
effects is to pay the coupons before they
become receivable for taxes.
