COMPARISON BETWEEN THE
TWO GOVERNORS.

1t is not generally remembered that
although the first Nichols administra-
ton drew revenues from IL State tax of
eleven mills and a heavy license tax
in three years it left a floating debt of
over 100000. When the Wiltz-Mc-
Emery administration took charge in
1880, it was cut down to the
drawn from a six mills tax and license
receipts not exceeding 1925 900. These
resources were manifestly inadeq uate
to run the Sta'e properly and Cover
nor McEnery repeatedly called the at
t%ention of abe General Assembly to the
tact. Nevertheless, during his bril-
liant and progressive administration.
the State institutions were all rel,abi-
litated, Bonnet Care, MorgaEza and
other were closed, the levees
generally, put in good conditions v
flowed people were assisted. the State
Capitol at Baton Ro1ge rebuilt at a
cost of $1,000 0O $780, 900 appropriated
for the exposition, debts of preceding
administrations paid, the agricultural
stations founded, the immigration
movement successfully inaugurated
and the affairs of the State in general
put IN good running order. The pre-
sent Nichols administration gets
about S250,000 more from licenses an
nually than the McEnery administra-
ton, besides the evenue from an in
crease OF $1S. 900 900 in the assess
ments. What has it done beyond
merely keeping up the government in
running order What great notable
work or extra demand has it met /? No
wonder then that with additional an
nual approximating $500 900
it is able TO meet the ordinary expen-
ses of government aud have no def
cit. What would a go-ahead, able
governor like McEnery have achieved
with the increased of the
Nichols administration, may be i'm
agined by the records of his admins
tration !! Comparisons are odious and
we would not have INDUCED in these,
had not Mr.. Foster and his campaigners
sought very unfairly to boost the
Nichols administration at the expense
Of McEnery's.

and TO exchange reciprocal favors.

Statue of Columbus for Santo Domingo.
The Ames Manufacturing company
has received the contract for a large
bronze statue Of Christopher Columbus
to be erected at ancient Isabella. on the
island of Santo Domingo, where Column
bus made his first settlement. The idea
was conceived by Thomas FL. Cummins,
of Boston, and has been carried through
a Catholic newspaper in hat city. The
statue was made from designs Of r.
Andrew of the State Normal Art school,
and the model was prepared by Alois
Buyens, of Client. The statue repre-
sents Columbus standing with the left
hand extended upward in thanksgiving
while the right points to the first settle
ment in the New World on a sphere
below.
The figure is s feet and 2 inches high
and will be mounted on a pyramid Of
coral and limestone 12 feet high, which
will be crowned with a capstone of
dressed granite. The people in charge
Of the monument have been given the
land necessary for the foundation of the
monument, and the republic of Santo Do
mingo has agreed 70 allow the importa-
ton of the statue and the foundation
free of duty and to care for the memorial
as public property.-Cor. Springfield

Valuable AndirOnS,

Brass andirons, big and little, may be
bought in the antique shops at from
$3.50 to $40 a pair. The most highly
priced irons are called C~hippendales.
The characteristic of the Chippendale is
a shaft in three parts, that nearest the
feet being hexagonal, the next large and
egg shaped and the top repeating the
same egg form in about one-third the
diameter.
Another favorite form is characterized
by a small vase, like a Colonial sugar
bowl, at the top; a long, slender shaft,
with a Corinthian capital, on which the
vase rests, and a base that often has
three feet. Some of these have the rear
horizontal bar crooked, SO that a short
leg may be held without bringing the
vertical shafts too close together. Just
at the bend usually rises a second and
smaller shaft of brass.-New York Sun.

Is now almost extinct at times, but &C.
~caslonally appears in extraordinary num-

and going, no one knows whittier. In
1886 the west coast mo other portion) of
the island was overrun by countless
millions of them, each pressing forward
as rapidly as possible, seeming to have
but n idea in view-to get away from
the place with all speed. They were
never seen to eat and moved at a steady
gait night and day.
Thousands and thousands of them per-
ished from hunger and the attacks of a
larger imported rat. For eleven weeks
the coast for $50 miles literally swarmed
with kiores, but at last they suddenly
disappeared. That was six years ago,
but the scientists have not yet de-
cided where they came from or where
they went.-"New Zealand After Fifty

Why Teak Wood Is Durable.

The teak, which has passed into prov
erb as the best material for shipbuild.
ing, is superior to all other woods from
the fact that it contains an essential oil
which prevents spikes and nails driven
into it from rusting. This property is
not possessed by any other wood in the
world, and furnishes an explanation OF
the fact that ships built Of teak are
practically indestructible. Some have
been known to last for $50 years, and
when broken up their beams were as
sound as when first put together.-Phil
adelphia Ledger.
