THE MUNICIPAL DEBT.
How 1t Compares with the Debts Of
Other Large Cities.
THE FACTS AS THEY EXIST
What Indebt edness Means-The Asser-
tions of the Democrats Completely Re-
futed - No Cause for Alarm - Actual
Debt ProportionateIy Very Low.

Those who are sufficiently familiar with
law to estimate the value of the indebted
ness of a minor will be able to keenly
relish the scare articles which have APP
peared from time TO time on the
per capita debt Of Providence. In the
wisdom of their legal and mathematical
Imagination the local calamity howlers
cry bonded debt, and in the same breath
speak of per capita debt, as though there
is or ever has been such a thing as an in
debtedness of children and minors who
constitute about fifty per cent of the pop
ulation.
Indebtedness we may inform our es-
teemed evening democratic contemporary
is always calculated upon the assets OF
company, and the Indebtedness OF any
city should likewise be estimated upon
the actual valuation of city's property.
An intricate calculation of the per capita
Indebtedness Of city is abont as peril
nent in a consideration of city's finan
cial standing as are the curl papers OF the
Goddess of Reform to consideration OF
the deceased Madam Blovatsky's theoso-
ply.
For the thoughtful perusal of those who
care To know the truth in regard to the
city's bonded debt, the NEWS has prepared
the following table, giving the exact pro-
portion of the debt to the assessed valua-
ton of eighteen of the largest cities in the
country New York city is omitted be-
cause its debt is partly made up Of coun-
try debt But taking the eighteen given
below, il will be seen that only one city
of any special value in the comparison has
"A less proportionate debt than Providence.
That city is Boston. For years, however,
Boston's valuation has been advanced
steadily and persistently for the sole pur-
pose of keeping the tax rate down.
until its values are now confessedly higher
than any New England city and nearly on
"A level with those Western cities where
"boom" plays 80 important a part in city
yalues. It is safe TO say that IL the valua-
tion i'm Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Boston
and Louisville were made on the same
conservative estimates as prevail here,
Providence would be the last on the list.
As il is now IL stands thirteen in a list Of
eighteen, and still the Telegram cries per
capita debt when all who know the facts
can easily refute its statements. The
table is as as follows:
valuation.
Washington. .... .............. 31.2 per cent

DEEP WATER AT BRUNSWICK.
Blowing Up a shoaling Gives Her
Twenty Three Feet.

/ BAOWA1R Up u CnOdAAAAS - -O-
Twenty Three Feet.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 22.-The depth
of water on Brunswick's outer bar has been
increased 81 feet. so says the committee of
citizens which went down to examine the
work Yesterday Afternoon. The 1000 feet
of bar. which of late years has been
gradually shoaling aud shifting, has
been literally blown 10 pieces
with dynamite and new channel, perfectly
straight ard With a depth Of water, accord
ING to the most conservative estimate, q
feet greater than that which has existed
along the old channel. This gives Bruins
wick fully
TwENTY-THREE FEET or WATER
on her bar at ordinary high tide and a
depth of twenty five feet at high spring
tide This is sufficient to take across the
bar with safety the deepest draught vessels,
and has given to Brunswick at a cost of
$500 what millions of dollars have
failed to accomplish for other ports.
The people of Brunswick are
almost wild with joy at the wonderful sue
cess which has crowned the work of genius
and uatiring energy and placed q brilliant
future and the world at her doors. The
idea of employing dynamite as a means Of
DEEPENING THE WATER
on the bar was first originated by Col.
Chas. 2. Goodyear of the law firm Of Good
year & Kay of this city. Col. Goodyear
brought his plans to the attention Of the
board OF trade In 1889. The matter
was favorably considered by the
board of trade. and upon its
accommodation al appropriation was
made by the city council and the services of
Capt. G. W. johnson of Lewes, Del. one
Of the most expert divers and users of
dynamite in the United States, were re-
GENTLY secured, He came here with
TWO OTHER DIVERS.
To assist him a straight line was surveyed
across the narrowest portion Of the bar.
and the work Of blasting out a channel
along this line commenced. about one
and a half months ago the dynamite
charges were placed by the divers
about five feet beneath the surface in regu-
lar rows across the bar and then exploded.
The sand, shells aud the mud loosened was
washed off the bar into the deep water on
either side by the
EBB AND FLOOD TIDES.
Capt jackson, as well as every one else, was
very skeptcal at first as to the final success
of the experiment, never having heard of
anything like it before, but declares it now
O complete and perfect success The com
mittee which sounded the work, it is said,
really found three feet more water in the
new than the old channel, but thought
best to make more conservative and safer
estimate. The velocity of the current
through the new channel has increased since
the work began from one and half miles
to three and a half miles per hour, and the
channel is growing deeper continu-
ally. Col. Charles p. Goodyear is
the father and fosterer of this
wonderful plan, and to his noble
heroic and untiring efforts for its accom-
piishment all honor and glory is due He
was ably assisted by Capt. A. f. Churchill
serve great credit for enthusiastic work in
the matter.

LATEST HIGH CHURCH FAD.
Moral suasion an Old Subject at
Atlanta.


ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 22-The latest
high church fad in Atlanta is moral sua-
sion. 1t is an old subject, but some Of the
local applications are entirely original.
There is contagious spirit of reform, and
the latest beneficiary of it is the street car
mule.
1t probably never occurred to anybody
before to think Of moral suasion and a street
car mule together. Last night sn order
was issued by Supt. w. S. Lardenou. of tho
Atlanta Street Car Railway Company,
peremptorily disseminating the use of
whips on all the horse car lines. This day
has been a memorable one for the patrons
of the street lines.
NOT A RECORD BREAKER
II any records were broken here they
were broken at the wrong end. 1t was bad
enough with whips in use. The schedules
to-day have been a-go-as-you- please, and
the patrons have sweat aud sworn in sultry
indignation. The drivers are considering
the advisability Of strike
why" said the spokesman, "whoever
heard Of anybody trying to drive a mule
without a wbipl
Supt. Lsrdenon, who is superintendent
OF Sunday school also is little jealous Of
the honor Of having inaugurated the new
moral reform.
NO" be replied, in answer to question
Tonight, "the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals really had nothing to do
with this. IL was my own ideo 1t is an
experiment. Moral suasion may eventually
win over every street car mule but the re-
suit Of 1t so far has not been encouraging. ~
