WHAT THEY OWE.
a Statement Of The Debts owed by the
Nations of the
World.
The United States has The Lightest
Debt Of any
Nation
France Owes the Enormous sum Of
$6,427, 100000. Other
Matters.
[ New Orleans Times-Democrat. |


One would jump at the conclusion
nom a casual survey of the list given
below. that France and Great Britain
and Russia and Italy must be pretty
nearly in that financial condition which
is expressed by the abominable vulgar
ism dead broke" so enormous are
shelr national debts. But it is not So
1T least with regard to France and
England. These two are the richest
Countries in Europe, and theig national
debts are not an encumbrance to them
at all, and hardly even drawback.
I This arises from the fact that the cred
ltOrs Of those two countries are almost
entirely their own people, who receive
and absorb the interest that their gov
/ ernmemjs pay for the use of the money.
Either ore country or the other could, If
"5oaaad, pay off very much larger
slices Of its national debt every year,
but it Is not much of an object to do so,
as the debt is owned, in both cases. al
most entirely at home. 1t costs France
very much less of an effort to pay the
interest on her $6,427, 100000 than it
costs Italy or Russia or Spain to pay
he interest on their much smaller debts;
! but their debts are, on the other hand,
owned mainly in other countries And
the alien ownership of them makes them
a heavy drain on the finances and a
heavy burden and a drawback to the
people,
The circumstance that Bulgaria and
Persia and Siam are not encountered
with debt at all does not tell anything
with regard to the financial condition of
those countries. Some countries, like
some persons, don't like contracting
debt; and other countries, like other
persons, couldn't contract debt if they
would, because nobody would trust them.
All three of them, however, are natural
~ rich countries; but their unindebted-
ness is mainly due to their lack of enter
prise, for their aspirations lie not in the
direction OF great public works to call
lot big credits.
The United States debt Of S14 per
head On the population is easily the
Iightest debt among the great nations
Of the world and Frances debt Of about
$40 per capita of her people is the
largest; but it would be rash hence to
draw the deduction, by the comparison
Of the two debts per capita, that the
average Frenohman is in greater fnan-
cial distress or nearer the dead broke
line than the average American.
The following table shows the debts
OF the world:

Our Fruit Industry.
Gazette. J

Facts and figures carry more weight
than predudiced and untruthful state
ments, such as have been made by some
who are opposed to the location Of the
agricultural college in Whitman county.
During The discussion Of this subject It
has been said that fruit could not be
Prown in Whitman county. AS a
general rerutation of this false statement
it is only necessary to point to the num-
erous thrifty, bearing orchards which
dot the country everywhere, and more
specifically to mention that, at meet
ing Of Snake river fruit growers, held at
Wawawai last Saturday, an order for
$4,000 fruit boxes was placed in Port
land. These boxes, knocked down. will
make fifteen carloads, and their cost at
the factory will be $4,000. This is the
initial order for the season, during which
the Snake river fruit growers alone will
use more than 100000 boxes. To illus
trate the growth of the industry in
Whitman coutny, which is now in its
infancy, it need only be mentioned that
$4,000 boxes were used two years ago
and 10000 last year, showing that the
product more thar doubles each year
We do raise fruit, and export more Of it
than any other county in the state

ADJUSTMENTS.

The "Sea King' was played to very
large audience at the Metropolitan Thea
ter last night. The company numbers
about forty; it is we'll balanced capable
troupe. The chorus is effective and well
disciplined, and the leading singers, with
out being notably superior, are fully
equal to the demands of the pretty comic
opera. The seventeen young women in
the company are all comely and several
are very handsome, and thus fulfill the
exactions of the piece, which calls for
grace and beauty on one hand and gro
tesque homeliness on the part of some of
the male members. The story of the
opera is neat, well told, and while
absurdly ridiculous, is well sustained
in the telling, and sparkles with wit.
Mark Smith, a strong baritone, if not OF
a very smooth voice, has the title role,
and having fine presence and singing
with vigor and ease, fttingly fills the
part. Katie Gilbert, probably the most
attractive and versatile of the women in
the troupe, sings pleasantly and dances
with charming ease and grace. Elsie
Warren, the leading soprano, has good
voice, not remarkably feeling, but sweet
and dramatic in quality. The basso, Frank
Howard, is equal to the score given him;
his tones are resonant and his enunciation
is model of excellence. r. E. Graham,
the Duke" of the play, the one grotesque
character in it, is simply inimltable in
his low comedy work. At no time coarse,
be is at all times the source of infinite
merriment. With the slightest effort he
sets the audience into roaring laughter.
Graham would warm to smiles the cold
est and least sensitive person living. No
one else in grotesque low comedy has
done such effective work here, unless we
except Sol Smith Russell. The cos
tumery of the troupe is rich. very
snowy and brilliant in colors and gold and

it touched the base of the Coast Range
Mountains. The overflow north of the
American River is yeritable sea of
muddy water, and the wind caused large
sized swells on it yesterday afternoon.
The islands down the river have hardly
noticed the rise in the river, as is evil
denced by the following from the Rio
Vista Neacs of yesterday:
1.-The Sacramento Biver has been very
high at Sacramento, registering 26 feet
inches, nearly reaching the high water
mark of last year. At this place it is still
several feet lower than year ago, with
very poor prospects of raising much
more. The levees down this way have
not been taxed in the least, and the
islands are perfectly saie.'
The water from the breaks has not over
flowed the entire town Of Washington,
but merely the southwestern portion of
it, and though it will many
of the residents, it has not caused much
damage. The water was falling yester-
day, and may be entirely out of town in
day or so.
at o'clock this morning the river had
fallen to "A feet inches, and was reced-
ing quite rapidly.
