California has reduced her debt Il ON

a debt of $40, 900, 900, against 81, 900, 900

$40, 900, 600, substantially the same as

Kentucky owes less than Sl,0)O,OOO,

for the dereliction of recent state
treasurer, who absconded with some
of the states resources. West Nir-
ginia has nominal debt of Sl35, 0C0,
and would have decidedly more
if her legislators were willing
to assume her pro rata share
ginia, when the counties now COM
posing West Virginia were part of it.
West Virginia was admitted into the
Union on June 10, 1853, but the
counties which were consolidated to
make it up refused to pay any part of
the state deot existing at that time,
and the VirC aia Legislators, who have
been staggering under a heavy burden
of debt OF their own, have not, OF
course, felt desirous of paying off the
obligations which equItably belong to
the region west of the Alleghanies.
Therefore this portion of the Virginia
debt remains not only unpaid, but
also unrecognized, aud as there is no
power under the law TO sue state for
defau, t. or to prosecute its represen-
tatives in the legislature for any
failure to provide Tor the payment OF
its equitable or legal debts, it seems as
II this obligation would remain per-
manently unproyi3ed for. The num-
Der of states in the Union has in
creased from thirty eight to forty-four
during the ten years between 1850 and
1890. But the gr, SIS debt of all tho
states during the same period has
fallen off from S234, 900, 900 to S224, 4.
00O. 600, net reduction of $40, 900, 900,
or at the rate of 81, 900, 900 year.

IN THE HOP FIELDS.
Features OF Life Among the Hop Pickers
of New York.

Oh NOW
Perhaps in no section of the United
States is there a more prolific hop
territory than may be found in the
counties of Schoharie and Otsego,
says the Albany Argus, where nearly
every available foot of ground is
studded with the poles under which
thousands of young and old people
annually earn and enjoy their vaca-
tions. Albany county, too, has a
number of hop fields. The agents
point out this feature Of the hop
picking pursuit as the main argument
in enlisting recruits.
Each yard is invariably equipped
with q dancing pavilion, or barn
metamorphosed into one, and in the
evenings fun relgns unchecked. The
fun. by the way, forms a large section
of the recompense for the days labor,
the money consideration being of such
slight proportions as to form no con-
siderable matter of worry.
Albany generally furnishes the bulk
of assistance to the farm owners in
the persons Of girls, women, young
anu Ollg lICi NhOoC iOS uAoI dNOSd-
tons do not demand their services at
this season Of the year, and who find
this the only available means of TAX
ing a vacation.
One of the agents told an Argus
man recently that the main troubles
to be contended with in the business
were the hop lice and the bug juice,
the former on the vines and the lat
/ ter in the pickers. There is no
known remedy to suppress the hop
lice evil, but the bug juice tendency
has been successfully contended with
by the application Of the summary
dismissal principle.
In the vicinity of Cooperstown and
| all around the shores of Lake Otsego
in the early September evenings the
! jolly parties in the various hop fields,
may be heard indulging in all kinds
of gay and pleasurable proceedings
marked mainly by the sound of song
and the squeak of the country violin
as the various groups send vocal in
cense to Apollo, or beat in merry
cadence their pedal tribute to Terp-
! sicho.e c.
Some of the pickers make lots Of
dollars at the hop yards. The ways
taken by this money are various.
Some who believe that industry,
frugality. ana economy lead the way
to wealth put by the proceeds OF
their hop picking. Other pickers
only go for the Jolly times. The
Albany police have tradition that
when the hop pickers come back
arrests are plenty.

November 1905, he enlisted in the
Sixty-siXth regiment of Foot NOW the
Berkshire regiment, and was sent to
Parkhurst barracks, Isle of Wight.
In March, 1909, the regiment was or
dered to Trincomalee, in the island of
Ceylon. After the dispute with the
Nepaulese had been settled, the regi-
ment was ordered to Cawnpore, where
they lost over three hundred men from
what was then called the plague, "
but which the Basingstoke centen a
rian describes as being like what we
now call influenza. From Ca wnpore
the regiment was order ed. February,
1917, to st Helena to keep guard
over Napoleon. On the way down
the river to the point of en-
barkation his first daughter, who
now resides with him and keeps his
little matched cottage tidy, was born.
The regiment EN- barked in three trans
ports on March II, 1917, and reached
st. Helena after a voyage of ninety
eight days. After being at St Helena
for year and half, smith accident
ally broke his wrist, which, being inn
properly set, produced contraction
of the muscles of the hand. He was.
therefore, declared unfit for fur her
military service and was ordered to
England for discharge. He went to
Basingstoke and after working on the
turnpike roads ( r twenty-six years he
obtained an appointments a rural post

COAT OF ARMS OF LOUISIANA.

curing land for the Niagara Park res
ervation, land in the Adirondacks,
and real estate for various pu bile
buildings demanded by the expanding
requirements of a population OF
5000, 900 persons. Ten years ago
five states had more than $780,
600, 900 in outstanding obligations
each. They ranked in this order:
Virginia, $50, 900 J0J; Tennessee, S@7,-
900, 900; Louisiana, 90, 900, 900, and Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania, $50, 0OO,-
900 each. There has been no diminu-
ton of the debt of Virginia, which
was returned by the last census as
S3l 900, %, an increase of 50, 900 in
ten years, but by the operation OF laws
passed by the legislature and by the
acts of commissions appointed by the
Virginia bondholders, the interest has
been scaled dow, and some of the I'M
certainty about the obliga tions has
been removed. The close of the civil
war left Virginia devastated and inn
poverished, with many of it's former in
dustries irretrievably ruined and
large share of its portable wealth al
most obliterated. A reign of carpet
bag fnanciering followed, and the
debt of this state was sent up to S47,-
00O 900. 1t has since been reduced TO
S3l, 900, 900, but the interest charge,
$1,000, OoO year New York pays only
1915, 900 a year,, is oppressive. Dur
ing the ten years succeeding 1880 the
state debt of Pennsylvania has been
cut down $500, 900. 1t is now SILL
Quo, 900. The debt of Louisiana, large
ly heritage of carpet-bag rascalitv,
was Sl0,O00,000 in 1870, and is
now S1l 900, 900. There has been
reduction in Tennessee's debt
from S27,000,00 to $1,000, 600
but in Massachusetts, under much
much more favorable conditions for
the extinction of the state debt, there
has been an increase from SO, 000,u 30
to S2s 900, 900. Names debt has been
decreased from $4,600,000 in 1850 to
So, 900, 900 in 1890. New Hampshres
has been decreased from SO, 500,O 900 to
$4,000 900. Little Vermont, believed
by all Green mountain men worthy of
the name as the ideal New England
common wealth, has no debt as "a state,
neither have any of the Counties COM
posing it. The last installment, "a, 900,
of the old Vermont debt was raid off a
few years ago. The debt of Connecti-
cut, which was 100000 ten years
ago, is now SO, 700. 900, and the deb of
Rhode Island, which was 81, 500, 900, is
now 81, 200, 600 one THU d less Though
the reduction of debt in the old estab-
lished states of New England has been
gradual and satisfactory, better re-
suits in a shorter time have been OBJ
tanned in some of the western sta es.
Thus, Iowa has no debt whatever.
