RUMoRs of financial troubles in France
are gaining currency. The ease with which
the German war Indemnity was paid-with
borrowed money-has thrown glamour
over the Treasury operations of the Repub-
lie, and the notion has gone abroad that
some special Providence guards France as
we'll as fools and the United States. But the
fact Is the French Government is making
express time for bankruptcy and repudia-
tien. Il knows nothing about economy; ii
neither pays as it goes nor goes and pays.
The more thoughtful Paris journals are be-
ginning to remark that things are in bad
way, and the fresh Socialistic demonstra-
tions are not adapted TO quiet their nerves
The debt of France is now the largest in
the world. 1t amounted in 1880 to $780,
100000. or nearly twice that of the United
States, having increased IS per cent. within
ten years.

The Shipping Committee.

The Congressional Joint Committee on
City. This committee consists of three Sen
ators and six Representatives, and was APP
pointed during the last session of Congress
ITO inquire into the condition and wants of
American ship building and ship-owning in
terests and to investigate the causes of the
decline of The American foreign carrying

Gambler, of Massachusetts; Robert McLane,
of Maryland, and George M. Robson, of
New Jersey
The Committee has submitted the follow
ing questions to ship-builders and ship
owners throughout the country. They
ought to elicit profitable discussion and re-
suit in practical benefit:
PHSt-Wny cannot lnls country Dulld iron,
ut. el or wooden vessels ss well and as cheaply
a. they are built in Scotland, England, or 9th
or countries?
Second-If we had such vessels without cost
TO rs, could they be run By us in competition
with those of other countries who build Their
own vessels and run them with their own offi-
Gers and crrws, without modification or re-
peal of existing laws?
1hird-What notifications of existing laws
Q what new laws are required to remove dis
examinations agsinst and burdens upon our
shp-owpiDg interests, such as Custom dues
port dues, Consular charges, pilotage, tonnage,
and other dues, &C.?
F0urth-Compare the laws of other countries
with Qua own with q view to their effect upon
our and their shipping and ship-owniug inter
ests.
Fifth-Should our navigation laws be re-
pea 90 or modified land if modified wherein and
for what purpose?
Sirth-What is the cost of the component ma
ter MS of iron, steel, wooden vessels in other
Gu tries and orr OWL?
Seventh What would be the effect Of a re-
bat4 any all such materials?
Eighth-Present any other statements con-
nected with the Cause OF the decline of the
American foreign carrying trade and what
remedies can be applied by legislation.

What Builds Up the Country.
n the Corinth Miss. j Herald

From the Corinth Miss IHeraldl i
Producers of wealth build up the
country. The tillers of the soil add
the results Of their labor to the pub
lie, as well as to their individual
wealth. And the manufacturer who
takes the raw material, and by work
ing upon it, increases its value, is a
producer of just so much wealth. If
the farmer by producing a bale of
cotton adds fifty dollars to the pub
lie wealth, the one that manufactures
it doubles it's value, and the two COM
bined have produced hundred dol
lars. To build up the country, then,
it is not only necessary to have the
farmer, but the mechanic, machinist,
and the manufacturer also.
The possible productiyeness of a
country is only reached when the raw
material of every character is SUBJ
jected to the manufacturer. That
country is not prospecting as it should
which sends off all its cotton, wool,
and hides to be manufactured in other
States, and lets its own timber rot in
the forest while it sends abroad for
furniture, wagons, buggies, plow-
stocks and ax-handles.
Towns belong to the country, and
add more or less to the building up
of the country. But merchants alone
can't huild up a town. Town and
country are both interested in the es-
Enlistment of factories, both are
benefited by the increased produc-
tons as well as the conyeniences.
The country can't succeed with all
its people farmers, nor town with
its whole population merchants. Di-
yersity of calling is essential; one is
dependent on the other, and each de-
rives a support from the others
There is no need of encouraging men
to become merchants; the demand is
always supplied But encouragement
is needed to get our people into man.
ufacturing, that the greatest possible
value may be produced, and the
country be built up and grow wealthy.

Prohibition.

No law, statutory or organic, not
approved by a large majority of the
people whom it affects, can ever be
enforced in a government like this.
In despotic country, and backed by
an army or government constabula-
~, such an enactment may be made
operative. ALI laws with us rest
upon the approval of the people for
their observance. And the real ques-
ton in the matter of proposed
prohibition comes right back to tue
point where the temperance people
commenced to work about fifty years
ag0-that is, on the basis of moral
suasion. This idea, which was the
foundation of the labors of the old
Westinghouse, was discarded, lat
er, when impetuous individuals rose
up as champions of the cause. These
said, moral suasion will not do-giye
us law. They overlooked the fact,
which they seem noteven 5 ct to have
learned, that the effectiveness of the
law rests upon the approval of the
people, and this can only be secured
by that which they have themselves
declared was non effective for the
cure of intemperance-mOral suason.
The experience of the many does not
appear to have made any impression
upon them. Failure after failure is
recorded all over the country in re-
spect to prohibitory measures, and
yet they rush ON, blindly it looks,
into the same error. If to law could
be given the property of self enforce
ment, then the temperance people
might 60 ahead with an assurance of
success, but until they can impart
such quality to law they must be
prepared for failures.

Humbugs and swindles acquire a
notoriety and power for harm only
in proportion to the aid they receive
from respectable newspapers. The
law that undertakes to protect peo-
pie from swindling lotteries ought
not the less to protect them from
swindling quacks and various other
humbugs.

His Last Song.

Sedalia Mol Democrat
Longfellow's last poem, unpublish-
ed until after his death, was one of
his best 1t was as the swans song.
Perhaps he saw over beyond the river.
No doubt it is given at times to some
who sing to know how soon the end
will come, and how to interpret
Alright the thickening OF the shadows
and the darkness of the twilight.
Life is then all retrospect. Old things
long forgotten, take shape again and
stand out against the dim background
OF the past a memory no longer, but
real, tangible, vivid, filed with the
dawn and dew Of youths first spring
time and affluence.
Surely no life is lived in vain if,
when the end approaches, the con-
temptation OF death brings only q
consolation. 1t must have been q
just and placid life. It must have
had that faith in God which relied
implicitly upon His promises of a
resurrection. It must have been SO
tried by the taking away Of loved ones
as to make that resurrection bless
ed necessity. Longfellow knew. His
prophetic eyes-sad, dim, and world
weary-saw what was waiting for
him, and just before he died he told
of them
In yender field are children playing,
And thereon vision Of delight!
see the child and mother straying!
In robes of white.
The gold is rifed from the Golfer;
The blade is stolen from the sheath
Life has but one more boon to offer,
And that is-Death
The boon, SO much longed for, has
been bestowed. just as he went
away he sang the song that echoed
after him, the saddest, sweetest, tru-
est of all the songs he ever sung.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1882-05-11

Some papers and persons make
capital of the fact, that detected
criminals are often church members.
This is certainly not surprising, be
cause religion is respectable, and
bad men wear it for a cloak under
which their evil deeds may be per-
petrated without suspicion. The
wrong is i'll the person, not in the
religion.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1882-05-11

Old SMILES are sometimes the best.
From the beginning of our govern
ment, perhaps, the two systems,
State and Federal, have been likened
to tho centripital and centriful
forces. Nothing would be more truly
of the matter. In the
same way an old comparison, very
forcible and very true, lis that the
Federal government in the exercise
of its powers is like the screw, cit
holds all it GETS" and as it progress
es its hold becomes only the strong
er. The Federal government never
relaxes its grip. Having once
brought subject within its domain,
it keeps it there. Congress should
then be careful never to legislate on
matters that are not necessarily con-
nected with the administration Of
Federal affairs, but leave to the PEG
pie in the States the greatest latitude
in regard to their local concerns.
