weeks. This completes everything
necessary.
Capt. y. Brown gave us an apple
pulled from one of his trees which
weighed one pound and 8 ounces.
This was the largest apple we have
seen this season. 1t measured nearly
10 inches in circumference.

One Of the NEST dramatic and

ry OF war was tho fall Of tho Ala.

Mexicans IN the Texan war for in.
dependence. The Alamo wxs a
church or other religious house
At San Antonio, Texas, strongly
built Of stone. 1t was an outpost
and garrisosed by 200 Texans.
1t was attacked by an army of
5000 regular troops, the flower OF
the Mexican army under SAINT.
Anita, then the greatest of Mexi-
can soldiers. After an incredible
resi,tsnce OF thirteen days against
such tremendous sdds the Texans
we're slain TO a man, refusing to
surrender.
The old church which was the
scene Of those heroic events still
stands, made douhly sacred by
the sacrifice on tho altar of l,ber-
ty on March 6, 1886. The people
Of Texas now propose to build =
monument to the heroes OF that
struggle, and to that end are
soliciting subscription throughout
the Union.
In this interest the Pieayune
has had a call from Captain Edgar

Tho Celebration in NeR York.

The centennial celebration in
New York yesterday vas all ex-
pectcd OF it, all it should have
been. Not in Manhstten alone,
but in every town in the Union.
the spirit Of American patriotism
burst forth and proclaimed the
grandeur Of this great republic.
The world has seen, in al ito
years, no national celebration in
which so many have joined, or
which called forth such genuine
enthusiasm, patriotism and deyo-
ton. 1t was 4 celebration in
which not Americans alono but
millions outside OF this Union
could we'll join, for it was the cen.
tennial Of the establiihment Of the
first great republic. Those who
founded that republic in the face Of
distinctions and difficulties ap-
parently insuperahle, could scarce
ly have foreseen all it would &C..
eomplish, building up within q
century a nation Of nearly seventy
million people, with fifteen other
republics following in its footstt ps,
their constitutions framel in
imitation Of its own and struggling
to the light. No one could have
imagined in the earlier days the
growth of the country, the dangers
through which it has passed, the
peace and prosperity it has finally
reached.
1t is the success OF the age, for
the last two centuries have seen
no event to compare in Importance
with the birth Of the United
States; aud it is only proper tina.
such an event should have been
celebrated with all the carnestness,
fervor and enthusiasm that the
people could throw into it. The
celebration yesterday was every
where a success. At New York
every one turned out to join in it.
The military procession which
marched through that city includ-
cd soldiers from every State, aud
filed before an audience OF more
than a million persons. New
York was truly great, and for
once at least national, casting of
its foreign airs anil becoming

State Finances and Other
Things.

II the Hope Co. bonds, about
which there has lately been some
litigation, should be passed on by
the funding board and classed
with the other bond indebtedness
Of this state, it will then amount
to something near sixteen million
OF dollars, the Hope bonds amsuut-
ing sx We understand to over four
millions. 1t now requires two
and seven eight mills of the six
mills state tax to pay the interest
on the deb: rs At present establish
Cd. Increase this by over tour
millions and it will require con.
sidcrbly more than one half OF tho
six mills to pay the interest. In
this event 1t is difficult 10 calculate
the result. Loss than half the
state tax will not support the
government and carry on the
charitable institutions. Az it is
some Of these are already poorly
provided for. The insane asylum
needs moro money. The Shrere-
port Charity Hospital needs more
money, and several other charities
are rot too we'll supported. The
amount set apart for Public
Schools is ritliculously small. The
holders Of baby bonds are asking
to DO placed on an equal footing
with the other bond.holders and
their claim has a little of equity
about it. The possibility now is,
that the interest bearing debt will
he largely increased. II tbs should
happen, tho advocates Of constr
tutional convention would be great.
ly strengthened, and just so GER
tain as it is called the limit Of
State taxcs, will be carried beyond
six mills. The State Is failing to
meet current expenses. Either
SIX mills docs not yield enough
to pay expenses, or the finance
have been badly mana led. The
latter We think is the real trouble.
But whatever may be the cause,
the fact remains, that the State
has been growing worse financial
~ since the constitution of 1879
went into operation and many At
tribute this to the low tax limi-
tation imposed by it, and mainly
for this reason, they want to get
rid Of it. Added to these the lot.
terry also will want q convention.
This will be a powerful support to
the cause. Although the State is
in bad financial way and likely
to become worse, a new constitu.
ton to remedy the matter is just
one Of the last things the people
o! this State need. Bond holders
may need it and the La. State Lot.
terry will also, but just what they
want, the people As = rule do not
wsnt. 1t may be difficult 10 see
any way out of the trouble which
presents itself with the tax limit
and low assessments, but such
medicine a. a constitutional con.
vsntlon for the ailment, is sure to
inflict more injury than benefit.
The constitution Of 1879 saved the
Lottery. Another called by the
present legislature will do the
same thing over again. The pres.
ent constitution contsins many
valuable provisions for the protec.
ton Of the people against the
abuse of power. There arc mum.
srous limitations on legislative
authority Of great value that will
be stricken out. 1t is the bensf.
cial part that has mainly brought
about the opposition to it, and the
desire for a new one.
