WON THE PRIZE.
Another Man Cashed 1t and Banked 1t
for Him.


An illustration of confidence in his
fellowman the winner of the one-twen-
tieth part of the grand prize in the Lou
isiana State Lottery drawing of March
18th may well be cited The old gentle
man has been for many years in the en-
ploy OF the Alaska Commercial company,
travelling between this city and that
northern possession OF the United
States in one of the company ssteamers.
During recent visit the gentleman re-
ferred to "tried his luck,' as he called
it, and as he had done often before. Just
prior to sailing the result of the draw
ing OF March II, 1891, was made
known, and the capita prize was won by
No. 16,95S. The old gentleman was over
loyed when he produced his coupon bear
ing the same number. The news went
around the company's Offices in no time,
but it got no further, as he particularly
requested that it should not be made
known. A young man in the company's
employ was intrusted with getting the
coupon cashed. b. Arnhold is the gen.
tleman in whom so much confidence was
reposed. He took the coupon to Wells,
Fargo Co.'S bank, asking that the COM
pany draw on New Orleans for the
amount.
This was done, and few days ago the
money was paid to Mr.. Arnhold, who
forthwith deposited the $4,000 in an
other bank to the credit OF the real win
ner. These facts were recited by one of
the partners in the Alaska Commercial
company, and no higher evidence of
their accuracy could be asked. Just
what the winner intends doing with his
winnings no one knows. He has not
even been apprised that the money is all
safe in the bank for him. The gentle
man referred to as offering the informa-
tion said that the winner is one of the
most deserving men in the company's
employ and to no one could the happy
windfall occur, and the announcement
OF it give more general pleasure.
California contained another lucky in
dividual at the same drawing, for he also
went to Wells, Fargo q Co., and cashed
his coupon through them. He succeed
ed, howeversin very efectually conceal
ing his identity, as all efforts to discover
his name or whereabouts have proved
quite unavailing. All that could be
learned is that he is hard working me-
chanic living in the Mission. San Fran

The Growth Of a Great city.

One of the most singular facts about the
growth of London is its regularity. 1t has
been stated that it may be roughly taken
that every month about thousand houses
are added to London. In August of last
year 765, ST houses had to be supplied by the
water companies with water; in September
that number had increased to 766,797. In
August of 1889 754, ,464 houses had to be
supplied, or IL, 1l3 below the number in the
same month of 1890. In September, 1890,
the companies had to supply 10,976 houses
more than in September of 1899. This eX-
tension is not confined to any one portion
of the capital, but "A preference is still
being shown for the north and northwest
suburbs

Queer Crabs.

In Bermuda the soldier crab carries
heavy shells un&he hills to puzzle future
geologists. Another species climbs the
mangrove trees, A shore crab in the Cape
Verde islands may ''be seen running along
like piece of paper blown by strong

which ''climb up to the top of Green
mountain, and the larger ones steal the
young rabbits from their holes and devour
them" The famous robber crab Of the
Philippines that cracks and eats cocoanuts
is itself routed out of its hole and feasted
on by the wild swine.

THEATRICAL BILL POSTERS.

modified form of homage to theicustoms that
prevail in civilized communities. The lax
ness in this respect. which hiss done so much
to lower. the general character of the theatre.
and TO bring it into deserved reproach, should
be promptly discountenanced and prohibited

passer-by on our most popular thOroughfares.

scandalous Indifference TO the physical proprie-
ties on the stage in the last few years. an evil
which seems TO have reached climax of
grossness in the course of the year just closed.
being stimulated no doubt by the prurient
tone of the most fashionable novels of the
day, has been so glazing that a wholesome
public sentiment has risen up in rebellion
against it, and condemned it SO severely that
there are already many indications of purer
and more elevated tone.

The improper exhibitions Of the stage are
deprived Of some of their immortality by the
fact that they are considered TO be more or
less conventional this being one of the argu-
ments advanced in defense of the nude in art,
but no argument of this kind can be brought
forward to condone the offense offered to pub

posted upon our public walls and boards at

seryative and scrupulous regard OF our people,
whether they occupy official positions, or are
mere private citizens. for the decences and
morslities of life is 80 well-known that the
most sensational company that makes its APP

Great Public Debts.
ATLANTA Journal


The country. 10 which Of all countries the
greatest attention has been attracted OF late
years-from those people OF tins country
who concern themselves most with topics con-
nected with political economy France. anu
it is a peculiar fact. that of all the nations OF
the world. the French nation owes the most
money. its national debt amounting IN the
aggregate TO six billions and "a half OF dollars:
or nearly a. great as the combined debts OF
Russia and Great Britain. each of which is "a
little more than three billion and a quarter
and greater than the indebtedness Of the three
nations which constitute the triple alliance,
Italy. Austria and Germany, the debt OF each
Of which is over two billions of dollars
Tho only other country whose Indebtedness
passes beyond a billion dollars. is Spain. al
though Turkey and the United States OF
America are not far from that figure.
If we We're 10 aggregate the debt OF the
countries which constitute the British Empire,
we would find the sum close 20 the SIX billion
figure and yet. in spite OF the enormous
pecuniary responsibility of France and Eng
land. the two countries are considered the
richest in Europe, and, excepting the United
States Of America, the richest IN the world;
and their debts rest comparatively lightly
upon them. on account of the fact that their
creditors are their own people. who, says the

THE BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS.

The record of the late unlamented Billion
Dollar Congress stamps. with greater empha-
sis than ever, the Republican party as essen
tally a sectional party-decidedly sectional
in its bearing to the South and partially
sectional as far as the West is concerned
The Mckinley tariff law was aimed directly
at both sections for the benefit Of the East.
the South and West being largely agricultural
and consumers, and the East being the home
Of the manufacturer and producer. The
hundreds of millions of dollars given away in
the shape Of pensions were scattered it is true
among the East and West, but while the West
got moiety the East got the bulk For
every dollar of the direct tax refunded which
will 90 10 the South and West. a thousand
dollars must go East, and of the millions
voted for the Subsidy Shipping bill, by far
the largest proportion will go 20 the East
The same is also true of the River and Harbor
Appropriation bill, while, of course. the Force
| bill was directed entirely against the South.
The more theacts Of the Billion Dollar Con-
gress are considered, therefore. the more It
becomes apparent that the South got next 70
nothing: the West got only slice, while the
East got the lions share of the swag. And,
considering these facts, the question natural
" suggests itself: What are the South and
West going TO do about it," There is only
one thing they can do, and that IS TO unite for
sef-protection. The object Of the RepuDh-
can party, which has now shown itself to be
distinctly an Eastern party, IS to build up the
East at the expense Of the rest of the coun-
try. and in the face Of this manifest Intention
the other sections must, in self defense, form
political alliance.
What is the best method of doing this,
Clearly by casting their fortunes solidly with
the Democratic party. That party has always
shown itself not only non-sectional. but fun
damentally opposed to everything that par
takes Of class legislation. Its aims have al
ways been TO accomplish the greatest good TO
| the greatest number, and to know no North,
| South, East or West in its public acts. To
that party, therefore, the South and West
must look for relief from the heavy and un-
necessary exactions imposed on them by the
| Republican party for the benefit Of the East,
| and from the heavy burden of taxation levied
upon the masses of their citizens mainly for
the prosperity of the Eastern monopolists and
manufacturers. so that the latter may be able
to accumulate surplus of corruption fat 10
be fried out Of them during the next cam
paign
This is the age Of combines, and the great
political combination between the West and
South which was inaugurated last November,
promises 10 grow steadily and rapidly in num-
Der and influence and become an irresistible
force by 1892.
