The Splendid Financial Showing Of the
Southern States.

An interesting census bulletin has
been issued which shows the financial
condition of the counties in the United
States. In 1880 the bonded debt of
2436 counties was $106,7 67 ,946, and
the floating debt $~1S,S53,509. In
1890 the bonded debt Of 272S coun-
ties was $130,734,959, and the floating
debt $14,958,881. The net debt in
1890 is $115,224,S55.
During the past decade the bonded
debt of counties of the southern states
increased only $2,91S,22S, as against
Sis, 1897, 1872 in the western states, and
the floating debt of the southern
states decreased $207, 100. The south
ern states and especially Louisiana,
made an excellent showing.
Louisiana has the greatest decrease
and Kentucky the least, while Texas
shows a large increase. Georgia had
the smallest bonded debt in 1850, but
this position has been accorded to
Louisiana for 1890. The bonded debt
of counties in Louisiana was $46l .l63
i'll 1880, and only $4,000 in 1880,
showing decrease of $514,663 or 80
per cent. The decrease for Alabama
is 16 per cent. Mississippi increased
80 per cent, or from SS72,292 to
$1i5 1896. Arkansas decreased SO per
cent.
The table of floating debt of u
ties shows large decreases in South
Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Florida and Arkansas. The
entire decrease from the southern
states is so per cent. The Heating
debt of Louisiana has decreased from
S646, 1888 in 1880, to $110,415 or SO per
cent; Alabama decreased ~ per cent,
Mississippi sc per cent, Arkansas
81.
The greatest reduction of the gross
debt during the decade is in the par
ishes of Louisiana, which decreased
from $11O7, 951 to $156,915 or So per
cent; Mississippi increased 9 per cent,
Alabama decreased Is, and Arkansas
10. Considering the gross debt and
the resources Of each state, SO far as
counties are concerned, Kentucky has
the largest sinking fund.
The counties of Texas show Il larger
sum i'll the treasury than those of any
other state. while Arkansas is next
largest. Then come Alabama, Ten
Eessee, Georgia aud Mississippi. Lou
isiana has total available resources
$lS2.170 exceeding her gross dett and
thus leaving no net debt.-Er.
The Iherville South has figured it up
and found that the parish gained more
than it lost by the late overflow. The
loss in the crops Of cotton, cane, etc,
having been more than offset by the
value of timber floated in, which other
wise could not have been got out.

Worse than the Lottery.

The Louisiana Lottery is a PERM
cious institution, but there are some
things that are worse.
One of the things that are worse is
official espionage of private correspon-
dence in the mails.
The bill which passed the House of
Representatives the other day, gives
government officials license TO with
hold sealed letters which are addressed
to persons who may be suspected of
being connected with lottery compa-
MES. 1t is ali invasion of the privacy
of the citizen such as nothing would
have excused Il few years age.
The danger in giving officials {;
power like that is that it will be abused.
From that to a censorship of the mails,
such as exists in same of the despotic
countries of the old world, is but II
step.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty.-Boston Daily Globe.

Decennial Increase Of Wealth.

The increase Of taxable values in
Louisiana in the ten years just elapsed
is, as near as can be ascertained, at
the rate of about ) 5000, 900 q year for
the whole State, while that for the city
is at the rate of SIS, 300, 200 a year and
for tlie country parishes S1,700, 900 an
nually.
The State assessments for 1890 are
not yet complete, but the Auditors re-
ports show the following concerning
assessed values:
Assessments in New Orleans for
ES5. .Sl@a, 2oc, $40
Assessments in country parishes
fo To ~ ss:cssr,cnts for i3sa s5 - i@5 5s$
Assessments for New Orleans for
Assessments for country parishes
Total assessinent for 1850 ...... 81 Z, US 1896 G5a
Gain Of wealth from 1880 to end of
1889. $49,295,S29.
The growth of wealth in Louisiana
is about 3 per cent per annum. 1t is
not a large rate, but it will average
fairly with that of other States of the
Union.
A vast body Of the richest lands in
the State are lying idle and nndevel-
oped. When the whole State shall be
properly settled up and pat ilcultiva-
ton the taxable wealth will increase
with much greater rapidity. Louisi-
ana with its enormous tracts CT virgin
lands is practically new State with
an immense future before her.-Pica-

anxious to have the Mckinley tariff
bill passed. When asked why SO
much hurry is needed, they answer
that the manufactures are losing
money every day by its delay, but
whether the masses who will foot the
extra tax desire its passage no heed is
taken.
When asked why the tax on tin
plate is doubled, they reply a wealthy
firm wants to 60 to making tinplates
and hence the price must be raised,
but they do not ask the 6o,OOO,00O
men and women who have to buy tin
ware whether they desire to see the
price advanced. Please the Million
aire. please the manufacture, roll the
money by barrels into their vaults,
mais en- has lie pauvre diable qui pale.
When Senator Vance, demanded of
the Protection Senators, whilst discuss
ing the Mckinley abomination, why
glass, such as was used in every poor
mans house, was taxed 115 per cent,
when fine glass, that only the wealthy
could buy, was taxed only Is per cent,
each Protection Senator scratched his
head, but said nothing.
Protection is a veritable daisy.
Four elections will take place in the
month of September. On Monday
next Arkansas will elect State officers
and members of the legislature, and
about the middle of the month Wye
ming will hold her first State election.
Maine and Vermont will elect mem
bers of Congress. The election in
hot fight will be made in the district
represented by Speaker Reed, and if
the Democrats carry it there will be
rejoicing all over the land. The Re-
publican majority does not u over
1000 votes and the Democrats may
win, but the chances are against them,
for the reason that the Republicans
had a partisan court to recently dis
franchise five hundred French Cana
dams, who vote the Democratic ticket
in the town of Biddeford, because
there was a clerical error in their
naturalization papers, the officer of
the court having signed himself ''re-
corder" insteado of "clerk." The Demo-
Gratis, however. , have been hard
at work securing other papers
for their voters and the chances are
that the friends of Speaker Reed who
made sure of his selection by disfran-
chising the French Canadians may be
greatly astonished On the day Of cleo
tion.--Stdtes.
