The Debts of the World.

Some interesting statistics Of the
debts of the world come to the surface
here just now through theinstrumen-
tally of Congressman Warner, who
shows in recent speech that the
national debts of Europe amount to
1913, 795, 100000. Add to this the debts
Of the United States and Canada and
other bimetallic countries, and we
get the stupendous aggregate ofabout
$4,000, 100000 as the burden of ma
tional debts that weigh down modern
nations. The increase in national
debts since 1S4S has averaged $780,
100000 a year. Next comes the state
and municipal debts of the United
States, which in 1880 are given as
81, III, 000, 900, or over $40 per capita.
Local public debts of England and
Canada, 81 ,735, 100000. The principal
debt of Paris is $420,000,0O0; of New
York, $150,0O0,OOO. The debts of
some cities in the United States run to
over 800 per capita, and a few to
$500. The total of local debts in the
countries whose national debts are
given swells the aggregate public in
debtedness of these countries to $1S,-
0O0,O00,000, which nearly equals the
entire wealth of the United States
and is greater than the value of all
the lands of the United States and
England together. The mortgage
Indebtedness of the United Kingdom
is given at $S,000,0O0,000; Germany,
$S,5O0,0OO, 900; France, $3.50, 900, 600;
Russia, SO, $50, 0O0, 900; Austria, 81 800,
100000. While there are no statistics
of the mortgage debts of the United
States, Mr.. Warner puts them at pro-
baby as much as those of Great
Britain, or IS, 200, 100000. He adds
to this $3.50, 100000 for railway mort
cages in this country. Putting the
several forms of Indebtedness to-
gether-national, state, municipal
and mortgages, not including rail
ways, and taking no account Of
private Indebtedness other than mort.
gageS-and they aggregate not less
than ,OO0,0O0,00O or nearly twice
the value of the whole United States
and more than the value of all the
lands of the United States and Europe
together.
The debts is held by a very few
persons. In England 300 persons owl
$3.50, 900 of the national debt; 2,00(
persons own S570,000,000; person.
own $1,000, 100000; and $4,000 ou
Of a population of 100000 own the
entire debt. In the United State
banks, trust and insurance companie'
hold $550,0O0,0 900 of the national debt
10000 persons hold $1,000, 900 more
and less than 100000 out of popu
lation of 57,000,000 own the entir'
debt.

Why Do Young Men Leave the
Country?
Spirit of the Farm.

Spirit of the Farm.
We have been long considering the
reason why so many young menleave
this country and seek homes else
where when at the same time we
have Bureau of immigration doing
all in its power by publishing ac-
counts of our many advantages to in
duce a flow of settlers to come among
us. This looks like an anomoly. Had
we not better turn our attention to
keeping our own people here than
swapping them off for others? That
we have room for all raised here will
not admit a question. We have lands
enough for all who wish to turn their
attention that way; we have open
ings in business circles for all COM
mercially inclined, and to prove that,
men of all nations are constantly
coming in and making fortunes by
starting new business. Would it not
be well for those intending to emf
crate to look around before leaving
and first essaying success here? Our
country is as good as any they can
find elsewhere. 1t will be better to
divide the large farms and put more
work on them thanpursue theslouchy
way some large farmers follow. Real
ly, it is a surprising matter beyond
our comprehension why anyone
would leave our beautiful State with
our agreeable climate-neither too
hot nor too cold, and seek extremes
in otherStates further South or North.
The opening is good enough for all
natives at least. There are new ways
to thrive our fOrefathers knew moth
ing of and we had better pursue those
ways than give way to other persons
who will make fortunes where we
starved. There are many ways.
Plant vegetables and send North to
persons anxious to pay big prices for
them. Plant small fruits and sell
them everywhere for there is no limit
to the demand. Start poultry yards
on a large scale and make it Il success
by force of will. There are THOUSANDS
Of pursuits properly followed which
will lead to fortune. Better far dc
this than 60 off ON an ignisfatum,
which leads man astray and finally
ends in disappointmcntand failure.

Weekly.

THE WEEKLY UNION, which is the best
paper of its class ever published in Tennes-
see, is complete and reliable compendium
of the home and foreign news Of the week.
Special attention is paid to its features of
late and accurate market reports and an in
dustrial and agricultural department care.
fully prepared for each issue, and printed
and mailed the day on which it is dated.
THE WEEKLY UNION is in these respects
equal to any of the agricultural papers, and
the farmer and country readers will find that
it gives more variety and better news than
can any of the one.idea or one-department
papers. The price of THE WEEKLY
UNION is 81 year, and no where else can
those who are not conveniently situated as
to daily receive as much valuable informa.
ton for that amount.
Sample copies can be obtained by applica.
ton personally or by letter.
In view of the fact that THE UNION has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its read
ers with news matter it finds it necessary to
return TO its original scale OF prices.

BANGOR, Me-, June 4-The Canadian dar-

the harbor of Eastport the other day flying
oil her eolors, anchoring on the British side
of the campo bello, and closely watching
the Eastport boats. Mr.. Young,
prominent packer and boat-owner, went
on board and asked the commander il
Eastport's boats were to be seized il they
went in the morning as usual for fish, The
reply was: I'VE are waiting for full in
looking sharply at Mr.. Young and shaking
his head in significant way, you had

others it was decided if the weather was
good to attempt to get the usual supply.
The next morning was clear. with

cutter was close under the land and be-
Gained Fifteen boats started from East
port, going down five miles from Eastport
on the British side. They filled their boats
and returned. In the meantime the cutter
seeing the American game, attempted to get
under way. However, as she had no steam
up, and the tide was against her, it was i'm
possible to get out of the cove. Boats were
got out and preparations made for a
chase, but before this could be done the
Americans had regained their own water.

the wedding occurred after the date was

BELFAST, June 4.-The Orange workmen
employed at the Queens Island Ship Yards
here to-day attacked the navvies employed
by the Harris, or Commissioners, and after
overpowering them and beating them badly
drove them into the water. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that the injured, ex-
hausted and struggling navvies were res
cued. The Orangeman made the as
satlt because the navvies, it is alleged,
had previously attacked some Loyalists for
aspersing the home rule movement In
tense excitement prevails among the local
Catholics in consequence of the attack;
The Orangemen numbered two thousand
and the navvies one hundred. A repeti-
tion of the historical riots is feared. Po-
licemen, fully armed, are patrolling the
city, and the military are held in readiness
in the barracks. Thirty Catholics were in
jured, and twelve were taken to the hos
pitals The body of James Curran, one Of
the navvies, who was missing for time,
has been recovered. He was the sole sup
port of his widowed mother.

JOLIET, ILL, June 6.-The Joliet Peni-
Tertiary was the scene Of most interest
ing event this forenoon. 1t was the con-
ferring of the rite Of confirmation on III
convicts by Archbishop Feehan, of Chi
cago. The ceremonies were conducted in

siders and occurred in the prison chapel.

flowers for the occasion, and each convict
was provided with bunch of white
flowers to pin upon his breast. At nine
O'Clock the Archbishop commenced the
confirmation, assisted by number Of
priests of Chicago, st. Louis and Joliet. AS

an attendant, and making a cross on the
foreheads of the kneeling men said II
sign thee with the sign Of the cross and
confirm thee with the chrism of salvation
