LAND LOAN COMPANY.

A company, known as the
Georgia Company" was char
tered at Atlanta, last week in
which English and Scotch capital
is heavily interested Robert Wal
ter Wilson, of London, who rep
resents the foreign syndicate. and
who is now in Atlanta, says the
matter is in the nature of an ex-
pertinent in Georgia, and contin-
gent upon it's success are large
investments of foreign capital in
that and other Southern States.
He says the business to be car
ried on is similar to that of sew
eral companies operating in the
West. Many shareholders in
these Western companies have
become dissatisfied with the re
turns upon their Investments,
and are turing their attention to
the South as a better field. Eng
lishmen are coming to the con-
clusion that the West has been
overboomed, and that thestand-
ard of value of lands there is I'M
safe.
Mr.. Wilson's opinion-arrived
at after careful consideration,
and adopted by his associates in
this Investments that the
South promises a safe and ready
return, while it will take the
West several years to work out
the obligations which they have
already discounted. The bust
ness of the company will be for
the most part to assist SMALLEST
tiers with long-term loans, with
clauses requiring certain inn
prove1nents to be made within
specified times uponrthe mort
cages property. This applies to

The great influx of ,unskilled
labor in recent years has quite
demoralized our labor mar
ket and has produced social
dislocations the Importance
of which we are not vet in
position to fully estimate. We
have allowed the foreign steam
ship companies, the East and
West trunk lines, and the land
grant railroads, inspired solely
by their own selfish interests, to
food us with unassimilable ele-
ments of population We have
permitted them to hasten by fiftv
years the growth among us of
social difficulties of a formidable
character. Our public domain
has been consumed in the interest
of Europe rather than in our
own. We have been exploited
and we have nothing solid to
show for the expenditure of our
resources. g.

When coal was first used in
England the prejudice against it
was SO strong that the House OF
Commons petitioned the King to
prohibit the use of the 'snoxious'
fuel. A royal proclamation hav-
ing failed to abate the nuisance,
Il commission was issued to as
certain who burned coal within
the city of London and it's neigh
zborhood, to punish them by force
for the first offence, and by the
demolition of their furnaces il
they persisted in transgressing.
A law was finally passed making
it a capital offence to bum coal
in the city, and only permitting
it to be used by FORCES in the Vi
entity. 1t is stated that among
the records in the Tower of Lon
don document was found, ac-
cording to which /, man was
hanged in the tirle of Edward /,
for no other crime than having
been caught burning coal. -

THE RAILROADS A D CITY IM-
PROvFMENTS.

That cnterprising corporation, the

city which it has done 80 much to

Improvements Roanoke Herald.
This should be a good exam
pie for any railroad anywhere.
We can conceive of no wiser
| policy "a railroad management
could pursue than that of appro-
priating some of its revenues for
the Improvement of the towns
and cities along its. line.
Development of traffic resour-
ces on the route of "a railroad,
and increased freight and passsn-
ger business at its various sta
tons, are what make railroads
paying enterprises. Whatever,
therefore, that would the most
contribute to such development
and increase should be the OBJ
jective policy of any wiserailway
management. The Norfolk and
Western people appear to. have
appreciated this from the start,
and it seems to have been their
governing policy.
In some of the States we OBJ
serve that the railroads are at
great pains and expense to
beautify and adorn their sta
tions and station grounds; the
landscape gardener and the
florist being on the lists of their
regular employees. They erect
fine and costly station buildings,
and make every effort to add
attractiveness to their local
points for inducing thesettlement
of population and encouraging
local Industries.
Coming down to the home
point what expenditure would
better pay the railroads of Win
ston than a liberal appropriation
from their treasures toward the
street improvements of this city?
Whosoever is attracted here as a
settler, be he a wage-earner, a
capitalist or a manufact urer, is a
factor of gain, of SO much, to the
railroads; and nothing will more
surely attract people of all clas-
ses here, or further stimulate
growth, and promote enterprises
than the systems of street i'm
prOvement the two cities are now
work upon.

A THOUSAND MILLIONS.

The expenditures Of the last
Congress aggregate over one
thousand millions of dollars.
eNotsonly has the Treasury sur
plus been scattered, but with in
creased taxes on most of the
neccessaries of business of and
life, and with forced loan of
over fifty millions from sacred
trust for the redemption of bank
notes, the Treasury is now GER
tain to present deficit of from
fifty to eighty million atthe close
of the coming fiscal year.
When it is considered that the
expenditures of the last Congress
exceed the entire expenditures of
the first half century of the gov
eminent. including the cost of the
second war with England, and
that the entire expenditures of
the nation when Mr.. Lincoln be-
came President did not exceed
sixty millions a year, or one
hundred and twenty millions by
each Congress, the full measure
of the bewildering prOhigacy of
the last Congress may be appre-
ciated. Think of a single Con-
gresS at he close of century of
free government expanding more
than the entire public expendi-
ture during the first half of
the century, including the excep-
tional cost of Il protracted war
with England.
But the last Congress was not
content with the expenditure of
a thousand millions. In addition
to that appealing waste of pub
lie money. it loaded the nation
with another thousand millions
of debt that must be paid in
shape offuture pensions, subsidies,
bounties, etc. The true record of
the last Congress is, therefore,
one thousand millions actually
appropriated for immediate eN-
penditure and another thousand
millions of debt loaded upon
future Congresses in addition to
the legitimate expenses of the
government.
The first Republican Congress
under President Lincoln had lit
tie over one hundred millions Of
revevenue exclusive of loans-or
to be precise, the revenue was
$41 ,476, 299 in 1861 and SOL
919,2 61 in 1S62-and the entire
expenditure of 1861, the first
year of Lincoln's Presidency, in
Guiding interest on public debt,
was, in exact figures, 500, $780,
213. The last Republican Con-
gress, in time of peace, has ex-
pended over one thousand mil
lions and added a thousand mil
lions more to the ordinary eX-
penditures of the future. With
such a record of jobhing and
profiigacy, it would seem reason
able OF assume that the nation
has had the last Republican
Congress OF history.-Phil. Times.
