The State Needs Money.

The voters of the State will carry the
lottery amendment because the State
needs money
The bonded debt amounts to about
twelve millions, O2,175000) The in
terest on the State debt for five years
ending 1879 remains unpaid, amount
ing to S491, $50. The States ultimate
liabilities also include baby bonds to
the amount of S1,29S ,6S2. The total
debt is about fourteen millions aud a
half. There is no provision made for
the payment of the bonded debt at ma
turity.
The State has not been paying its
way since the Inauguration OF the new
constitution, which was essentially a
measure OF economy and reform. I'm
der the existing rate of taxation it must
fall behind hand more and more. That
enough for respectable subsistence
even when assessed taxable values
amount to three hundred millions, as
they may be hoped to do if we get a
fair share of increased wealth through
the better class of immigration. The
receipts through licenses may also be
larger as business OF all kinds increase.
But the State will continue in arrears,
cramped and embarrassed. BY the ire
sistibie logic OF circumstances, thought
full citizens are forced to the conclusion
that the States revenues must be in
creased by raising the rate of taxation
unless some other resource is found.
Therefore, in voting for the revenue
amendment the people will virtually
vote against an increase of tax rate, for
if S1,250,00 are thereby added to the
annual receipts of the State treasury, no
further increased tax will be needed.
The yearly lottery franchise amounts
to as much as 6-mill tax on property
worth over $2O0,0OO000. But in voting
against the amendment the people
would be voting for an increase of the
tax rate as an inevitable alternative.
II the State was free from debt, if her
provisions for public education were
complete, if every child had access to
good free school nine months every
year, it an adequate system of levees
protected every acre of alluvial land, if
our charitable institutions were ample
in size and number and amply equip
ped, if there was no longer suffering
Confederate soldier resident in LOuisi-
ana, if the means at the command of
the State government were equal to all
contingencies, the people could not, in
our Judgment, wisely or Tightfully af-
ford to reject the amendment as long
as any tax or license whatever were i'm
posed. But the State does need money.

Decoration DaY.
n. o. Tlmes-Democrat, April 7.

n. .. 1lmes-Democrat, April 7.
Yesterday, the anniversary of the bat
tie OF Shiloh, was as usual appropriately
celebrated here as Memorial Day for the
decoration of the graves of the Confed
crate soldiers. The various local mill
tary companies, as we'll as the COnfed-
crate Veteran Associations, marched to
the Lee monument and the cemeteries,
and deposited upon the several tombs
and monuments wreaths of flowers as
a token that the soldiers who sacrificed
their lives for their country are not for
gotten.
Twenty uine years have passed since
Shiloh, and tWenty-siX years since the
civil war has closed, yet the memory of
the herolsm of the Confederate soldiers
has not passed away, and the people of
the South have not forgotten their obi
CATION to them. Tie celebration of yes
terday showed this; for there was as
much earuestness in it as though the
war closed but yesterday. There were
fewer OF the veterans to turn ont than
last memorial day, for each year reduces
their numbers, but there was as much
affection and spirit demonstrated as
ever.
That the admiration of the Confeder-
ate veterans and the chelisliing of their
memories carries no bitterness with it is
we'll shown by the celebration of memo
rial and decoration days, when the vete-
rams of the Blue and Gray pay tribute
and lay flowers on the graves of the men
whom they fought quarter Of a century
ago.
The people of the South are to-day
citizens OF the United States, as patriotic
as any in the country; but this has not
made them forget, nor will they ever
forget, the men who died fighting for
their rights and liberties,

The Assumption Pioneer pleads for
the preservation of the French Ian
guage in the Creole families of the
State, not to the neglect of English, but
as an accomplishment which belongs to
them by right of birth. 1t is pleasant,
says the Pioneer, to grow with the dou-
BILE knowledge of two great languages.
and whoever possesses them dominates
the man who has knowledge of but one
language, for he commands the litera-
ture and mental wealth Of two civiliza-
tons that have no superior on the
globe. The inheritance is one which,
the Creoles Of Louisiana should proudly
maintain, and the Pioneer is right, as a
matter OF sentiment and racial pride, in
pleading for the preservation of the
mother tongue among them.

The preachers who sent a petition to
Congress to suppress lotteries because
of their immortality will find that the
Catholic, Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches in New Orleans aud in the
parishes owe, in many instances, their
existence to lotteries. Lotteries were
the corner-stones upon which they rest
ed, and your libraries, academies aud
colleges sprung from the same source.
All this is Louisiana history. The men
OF that day were the equals of those of
to-day they were not confined to any
one profession, but men of the pulpit,
the law, MEDICINE, the, work shop, the
planter, and OF all trades, participated
in lottery chances.

There is one thing which this New
Orleans Italian racket ought to make
sufficiently clear to the Congress of the
United States. The time has come
when this country must cease to be the
dumping ground for all the rest of the
world. We have here to-day an enor.
nous criminal population, very largely
recruited from the prisons, galleys, ra-
vines, and slums OF Europe, especially
the southern portion thereof. The laws
enacted heretofore have been too sieve
like in character; they let through about
as many as they stop. The next Con-
gresss should take hold of this question
intelligently and vigorously, in the true
American spirit, and put up the bars
high, enough and tight enough so that
we shall know no more of the Malta or
the perils of socialism during the next
century at least. The population of this
country, taken altogether, is getting too
cosmopolitan, anyhow. 1t wants q
chance to settle down and become A
little more thoroughly Americanized,-

Over year ago, an agitation was be-

better roads. Louisiana took hand in
the discussion and declared that better
roads We're of the first essentials of the
state and would materially reduce the
cost OF transporting products to mar
ket. The matter was discussed ia the
papers, and some of the police juries
framed road laws for the parishes, but
the agitation stopped there, and little
