THE BOND FRAUD.

Recent discoveries made By
Auditor Steel, show that Stealing
and plundering of enormous
proportions were made on the state
treasury DUNG the administration
Of Goyeror McEnery. 1t appears
that interest to the amount Of
$4,000 has been paid by the state
upon Cancelled coupons fraudulant-
y held by various outside parties.
1t further appears that consclidat-
ed state bonds to the amount Of
100000 which were ordered
Cancelled and destroyed by the
constitution Of 1879, are still cx-
tant and in the possession Of third
parties most of whom live in the
city Of New Orleans. 1t also ap
pears that consolidated bonds
which were Cancelled and exchang-
ed for constitutional bonds to the
amount of$25,000, are still on the
market anal circulating in the
course of trade.
This blame primarily attaches
to ex-treasurer Burk who was the
legal custodian of these bonds.
But as to whether he individually
guilty OF robbing the state, whose
interests he pretended to guard
with such jealous care, We know
not. However be asserts in a tcle-
gram from London that he will
make matters all right so soon as
he returns. He may be able to do
so, at least we hope SO, but it does
look like, from our imperfect un-
derstanding of the matter, that
there will be some things in con-
nection with the mysterious dis.
appearance of some of these bonds
that will he rather difficult to ex-
plain satisfactory to the state.
We can only say let him who is
guilty, whoever he may be, be
punished 10 the full extent OF the
law.
AS for the innocent holders of
these fraudulent bonds, of course
they are the losers. The state can
not afford to pay bogus bonds out
Of sympathy for the persons hold
Jag them.
Homer guardian., 1889-09-27
ADVERTISING FAY +?

We occasionally come in contract
with merchants who tell us that
they cannot sec any benefit to be
derived from advertising, and to
these gentlemen we desire to cali
their attention To the following
extracts from q communication III
a bankers magazine, written by y
retired banker, and who has no
personal interest in the matter
Among = number Of suggestion as
to details in the conduct Of the
business, the writer says:
Maybe you tried advertising,
but failed to get adequate returns
for your outlays. If so, rest assur-
ed the fault lies with you alone.
Don't settle down in the false be-
lief that there is nothing in adver-
tising. My faith in it is as firm
as rock. In my opinion, it is as
necessary to modern business as
the telegraph, the telephone,
shorthand, and typewriter. But
it is somewhat of an art, which
many can not comprehend and
appreciate. Whoever does really
master it will also make 1t pay
largely in the long run.
To be q successful advertiser
remember two points: You must
give great thought to the wording
Of an advertisement; then you
must be a constant advertiser.
The wording Is of utmost import
ance. Those cards which impress
the reader forcibly with upright
ness, promptness, reliability, and
enterprise will outweigh IN finan-
cial returns those having no
definite or salient features.
Advertising by fits aud starts is
simply throwing money away.
Only by system, and continuous
use of printers ink will you arrive
at the desired results, and these
grow increasingly as the time goes
on. The longer your advertis.
ment stands, the better it becomes.
When the readers become accus.
toned to sec your card in the same
EooK anu corner, when they be.
come thoroughly famillsrize,l with
your Iame-conylncctl Of your
yon will begin to
feel the beneficial effects of tho
money thus spent, and these will
continue growing. 1t is In this
manner that tue name Of your
institution, though ever so remote. !
can be make known throughout
the country, and tils is what brings
you outside business"
Homer guardian., 1889-09-27

A number of politicians and
members of the present legislature
in New Orleans were interviewed a
few days since relative to the bond
muddle. A majority Of them
think the state should pay these
bogus bonds now in the hands of
dnnocent third parties. They
claim it would be reputation not
TO pay these bonds and that the
credit of the state would be impair

strange tons that a sensible man
could entertain such notions.
These fraudulent bonds do not
constitute debt due by the State,
aud she cannot afford to pay them
merely on the sentimental grannd
that the owners and holders ac-
qatred them in good faith. Away

TARE ON COTTON.

AT convention recently held
in New Orleans, composed Of men
interested in the buying and sell.
ing OF cotton, it was decided that
Hereafter twenty-four pounds tare
shall be taken from every bale of
cotton wrapped in jute bagging
and sixteen pounds from bales
wrapped iu cotton. The argu-
ment used was, that by adjusting
the tare in this way the farmer
could afford to use the cotton bag
glng without any less. Now,
some of our farmers seem to be
alarmed about this arbitrary rule,
for they regard tins tare of lG
and "a pounds q clear loss. But
it will neither lnjure or benefit
them unless it benefits them by
placing cotton bagging on the
same footing as jute.
As the rule heretofore prevailed
the farmer was paid for the en-.
tire gross weight of the bale, but
as The spinner had to lose the
weight of the bagging and ties
and he having the power to CON
troll the price, of course the price
has always been reduced enough
to pay for the hagging and ties.
Now since the spinner in Liver
pool and other big markets will
only have to pay for the net weight
of the bale Of cotton he can afford
TO raise the price in proportion to
the amount Of tare on each bale.
So upon the whole the farmer
certainly cannot be the loser by
this new order Of things in the
cotton market.
We have not heard whether our
merchants will enforce this rule
or not, but we are informed that
Arcadia merchants have already
commenced to observe it. Atany
rate they give the farmer his
choice either to take the regular
price without knocking OF the
tare, or to knock it off and get
more for his cotton. So as above
stated it makes no difference
whether it Is taken off or not.
