An Object Lesson.

The the we'll worn claim that
scarcity of money causes the hard
times has met with very severe
setback since Mr.. Carlisle's offer
to sell $4,000, 900 of u. s. bonds,
in order to meet the treasury deficit
caused by the extravaganza of the
billion-dollar Congress. From all
over the country offers have pour
ed in, until the amount runs con-
siderably over s2O00OO,O0O, and
the premium bid is down to about
q per cent per annum interest
Thus it plainly appears that thous-
ands of person are boarding up
gold, and, while they have faith in
Uucle Sans bonds, they have had
grave doubts about the value of
silver as q standard under present
conditions.
The proposition to replenish the
treasury by having Congress au-
thorize a loan of short time 8 per
cent bonds is rapidly growing in
favor in this country, and is likely
to be adopted since the object les
son afforded by Mr.. Carlisles offer
to sell bonds. The abundance of
money boarded in the hands of the
people being thus practically illus
trated and emphasized, the impor-
lance of putting it into circulation
needs no urging. The wonderful
financial vigor developed by France
after the Franco russian war, di-
rectly attributable to placing bonds
in the hands of her own citizens,
thereby giving them and the COM
monwealth the benefit of all accru-
ing interest, is held up as a plan
well worthy of trial, and small
bonds of 500. $500, $500 and up
to $4,000, are being favorably
discussed.

what a whopper.

The last issue OF the Montgomery Mail
says: ave can do the parish printing for
fifty dollars and make twenty per cent
profit on the contract" Last January,
when this question was up, the editor and
proprietor OF that paper, in reply to our
statement that the printing alone OF the
blanks for the parish was worth fully SIS,
virtually admitted our statement by say
ing: "We find, on careful inquiry, that he
prints 455 worth OF blanks per year, and
has $l95 az. a surplus for official notices,
ETC." Why don't the Mail show it's real
animus, and the political capital sought,
by Offering to do the work for nothing?
II can no more do the work at fifty dollars
and make money. than it could build a
bridge across Red river for that amount.
In making the assertion it has simply
made whopping mistake as to the work
to be done.
We have heard good deal about le-
gal Investigation Of the public printing
Of the parish, but have waited in vain to
see it instituted. II must be that there
are two sides to the case, and that second
thought reveals the fact that the cold
glare Of the Law as to what is just and
legal compensation for work, and the
right OF letting it, is a very different az
fair from making bald assertions and in
dulging in harsh and unreasoning criti-
cisms, simply and purely tor the sake of
Misunderstanding political capital.

The proposition of the constitu-
tional commission, that nine jurors
may render verdict, is by far the
most important change proposed
in the jurisprudence Of the State,
and it is one that ought to meet
with approval. Such a verdict
ought to leave the sentence largely
to the trial judge. In these days
of astute lawyers for defense and
pardoning boards, there is very lit
tie chance for injustice to be done
any man.

The Public Schools of Louisiana.
Times Oemocrat.1

txkmoo- OemOcr8t.J
In his address before the Louisi.
ana Teachers Association at New
Iberia Gov. Foster was fortunately
able to show considerable progress
in the public schools of Louisiana.
Taking 1884 as a basis of COMPARE
con, he called attention to the fact
that the amount given by the police
juries of the parishes had doubled
since then, as had also the amount
derived from the poll taxes. This is
encouraging, both because it In
creases the money available for
educational purposes and because
it is evidence of a healthy public
sentiment and interest in the cause
education. The contributions of
the police jury being purely volun-
tary, and representing the public
sentiment of the several parishes,
the increase shows this sentiment
to be far more literally inclined
toward the public schools than
formerly. The large increase in
the receipts of poll taxes helps the
schools in the parishes. and is evil
dence of what we have said in
another connection, that the poll
taxes can be collected with the pro-
per energy on the part of our off,
Gals, and that it is not necessary to
resort to an electoral qualification
to collect these taxes.
During the period of nine years
for which the Governor gives the
statistics of progress, the schools
have increased from 1913 to 2641,
or 81 per cent, and the pupils en-
rolled from 81, 024 to 14O, 231, or 70
per cent A gratifying feature of
the improvement is the fact that it
has been continuous and not Ger
KY" The general increase Of 1893
over 1892 is greater than that of
the previous year, and the latter
greater than that in 1891.
From these fact the Governor
thinks it can be claimed that 'sthe
people are awakening to the neces-
sity of public schools; the police
juries and town councils are more
seriously viewing the important
subject of school appropriations,
and the people, as whole, are
giving their moral support to them.
There is every reason for encour-
agement, and the marked advance
ment in the system since 1884 to-
the present time, and the future
which will tend to advance
the ratio, evidences the fact that
interest in public education is firm
and sincere"
We are glad to hear Gov. Foster
speak as he has on this subject, for
here is still much to be done in
Louisiana. The greatest interest
8 felt throughout the South in the
,ause of education, and it is pecu-
iarly the case in the three States
lpon which Louisiana borders
Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi.
IN ell three the obligation of the
State to give every child an oppor-
unity to receive an education is |
'ully recognized, and Mississippi |
las made this obligation a part Of |
is Constitution.
It cannot be said that Louisiana
las done as much as its neighbors |
or its public schools, but it is maxi |
ng, as the Governor shows, steady |
Progress, and if it keeps on as we'll |
. it has done it will soon be able |

Secretary Calisle has announced
an issue of bonds, under authority
, of the act of 1876, to meet the pres
ent necessities of the Treasury.
While neither he, President Cleye-
land, nor any member of the cabi-
net has any doubt about his au-
thority to issue bonds, he and they
would have preferred that Congress
should have provided for the inan-
cial deficit, but Senator Voorhees,
and other leading Democrats in
Congress, after consultation and
mature consideration, arrived at
the conclusion that it would be inn
possible to secure Congressional
action in time to render the aid
needed owing to differences of
opinion among Democrats as to
what should be done; and advised
that advantage be taken of the au-
thority conferred by the old law.
The issue of bonds is to be limited
to the immediate needs of the gov
ernment, thus leaving Congress
free to act as soon as it may be so
disposed, by providing other means
of raising money that must be had
from some source. The idea of
bond issue is not palatable one
to the average Democrat; but in
this case there was no choic; it was
bonds or default in meeting obi
cations of the government.
The consideration of the Wilson
tariff bill is proceeding satisfactory
to the Democrats, although the
clauses about which there is the
greatest Democratic controversy
have not yet been reached A
number of minor amendments have
been adopted, and one very impor-
tant one-providing that the free
wool clause should take effect up
on the passage of the bill.
Senator Berry, speaking on Sem
ator Calls resolution for an inves-
tigatiqn of the civil service, said:
Il think there is great deal of
humbug about this civil service
business, and / am not in favor of
extending it one iota further"
This statement was greeted with
such uproarious applause from the
galleries that the chairman had to
threaten 20 haEe them cleared be-
fore quiet w6s restored. Mr.. Ber-
ry voiced the popular idea.
The depleted condition Of the
Treasury would. prevent any con-
siderable appropriation for the en-
largement Of our navy at the pres
emit session of Congress, even if a
majority of the Democrats were in
favor of such appropriation, which
is doubtful. Representative Hol-
man is one of the Democrats who
believes that our navy is already |
dangerously large and that it should |
not be added to, unless the tradi- |
tional policy of our government, to |
avoid entangling alliances, is to be |
shelved and an aggressive foreign |
policy subtituted.
Senator Daniel made it plain to
Senator I1oar this week that it was !
not altogether prudent to attempt |
to make speech on the Hawaiian |
question with no better preparation
than feeling of malignant hatred /
