Philadelphia is certainly having good
deal of trouble with her municipal finances
and fiscal institutions Eventually the
losses Of the city can scarcely fall far short
of half million. But it may be matter
of some consolation to the people Of the
Quaker City to know that they have caught
the man who was apparently chiefly respon-
sible for the great losses they must sustain.

At the first division in the Canadian par
lament since the recent general election Sir
John McDonsld's government majority was
shown to be apparently much larger than
even his friends had anticipated. But as
the division was not taken upon strongly
partisan measure this apparent majority
may ultimately prove by no means reliable.

Brazil is likely to cause her importers a
good deal of trouble by the recently estab-
hshed government exaction that all import
duties shall in future be paid in gold. Be-
side being tride more expensive to the i'm
porter this method is likely to cause no little
annoyance because of the possible scarcity
OF the yellow coin at times in the presen,
period of formation of the country.

Paris has at last mastered the intricacies
of an American grain corner. But the
cornering seems to have been largely
engineered by wicked foreigners. Never
theless it was disastrously successful, so to
speak. Americans should not teach inno>
cent foreigners the elusive tricks of trade
in this vastly great republic. It will have
a tendency to incits riot and warp their
choleric tsmpers.

According to the latest advices from
Europe the pope is making an effort to cul-

seems to be one of the things that the young
kaiser most needs. Nevertheless he may
prove himself rather wise than otherwise in
declining to definitely commit his reign to
any entangling alliance or association with
the temporal designs of the Catholic church.

New Orleans is doubtless more agi-
tated at the present time over the state
lottery than she has ever before been. 1t
is a national question, however, for the
state and city are almost hopelessly in
its power. | wonder that some great
New York paper-a feature paper look

stead of fighting wipdmills with squirt

the state of Louisiana from her pitiful
slavery.
Within the last six months member
of the Legislature died. What became

but on his body was found a shirt in

| presume he saved this amount by go
ing without cigars. The amount of the
standing bride offered to the public
schools by the lottery, and accepted, to
say nothing of innumerable brides from
$40, 900 down to vermouth cocktail, does
not prevent a profit which. am assured
by a gentleman of New Orleans who is
thoroughly familiar with the affairs of
the lottery, averages $50 per cent. per
annum on the investment.
My friend, Mr.. Jay Gould, who is per-
haps the highest authority on quick sales
and small profits of any one in the
United States, said the other day in re-
lation to the state lottery of Louisiana
that it seemed to him like receiving ten
dollars from the ticket holder and put
ting five of it in the drawer and then
shaking dice to see who should have the
other five
OF course the underground mackin-
cry necessary to the successful operation
of the lottery in defiance of the postal
laws is naturally very extensive and
hard to break up. But with the law and
the sentiment of the country against it,
its determination is only a matter of
time, and the statesman or the journal
looking for job will do well to consider
this excellent opening. The lottery,
however, has friends where you would
least look for them

by and in sight. Need add that at the

of fifty dollars? Great applause greeted
me from the skun victims, who stood

game manifested itself.

The clerk made clean breast of it
and showed his employer that the letters
contained remittances from his old
neighbors up north, who knew that he
was IN New Orleans, and feeling certain
that man right there on the ground
could almost go and put his hand on the
capital prize, had sent him in the aggre-
gate large sums of money. on which, of
course, he received commission of 90

Recently the railroad from Helena to
Lula has been abandoned. This news
will fal! with a sickening PUNK on the
ear of the tourist. The road ran largely
through a dank swanIp-a shaggy wal
low in the wilderness. When the off
side of the track sagged, which it in
variably did. unless the nigh side was
engaged in sagging, the weight of the
train showed the decayed ties into the
wet, mushy bosom Of the earth and
squirted the mud forty feet high. This
kept the windows of the cars looking
very untidy, which is rare thing in
that vicinity.
1t is said 20 be the worst railroad ever
born in captivity. | could hardly help
comparing it with the road in Michigan
leading out from Manistee, which has
never had dollar of debt, think. The
stock has never been for sale; the logs
hauled over it are sufficient to pay all
running expenses. The only passenger
conductor on the road is also general
passenger agent, assistant general pas
senger agent, auditor, general western
freight agent, assistant general press
agent and ex-officio president.
At Lula we got what we called din
ner. 1t was such meal as you would
naturally expect in town named Lula.
The hotel was run by a sad faced woman
in middle life who had probably twenty
years ago rashly made bet that she
could subsist for twenty years on her
own cooking. | would like to give a
list of the different articles which we ate
there, but / never knew what they were,
and hate to describe anything unless
am fully posted regarding it. What we
had in our coffee cups l inferred was
coffee. but it might have been, for all |
could see to the contrary, the abandoned
right of way Of the Lula and Helena
railroad
During the afternoon we rode through
one enormous and almost continuous
cotton field. The negroes pronounced
niggroes) were Just closing up the third
and last picking The first picking, ]
bolls are not open very much the
yield Is small A few weeks later the
principal picking takes place; the third
follows the first heavy frost, when the
pods are fully opened.
The cotton we hive been riding
through today is spoken of sarcastically
by a man who sits with me, and who
lives on higher ground, as bumblebee
cotton, which is short in staple and in
ferior in quality The cotton buyer has
way of pulling out wisp OF cotton
from the bale. and with dexterity re-
sulting from long continued practice he
squares the lock at either end. so that he
is able to know the exact length OF the
fiber, or staple, measuring it with his
eye and telling you accurately what its
market value would BE-.
