A FEW COMPARISONS,
AS to National, State and Municipal
Debts.

DcDtS.
Following are few points from the
paper of Mr.. Geo. t. Barr, on "Pub-
lie Debts" read before the Social
Science club Tuesday evening, which
have been unavoidably crowded out or
our last two issues. These are from
the .latter portions of his paper.
which was not touched upon in Wed
nesday mornings review of it:
Statistics are generally dry; but Mr..
Barr devoted few pages of them in
an interesting way, and made some in
structive comparisons. The aggre-
gate debts of the foreign nations on
July /, 1890, less sinking fund, accord
ing to the 18th census, was, including
national and local, s2S, 1922, 1851 1853. In
the United States, including state
and local, s2,O27, ITO, $40, making a
grand total for the world of $50, 349,-
927, 500. These figures embrace the
national Indebtedness of "a principal
countries of the world. The increase
in national debts of the world has
been from 81 ,627 ,692, 2l5 to $27 ,524, &c.,
915 In1S90 the average per capita OF the
national debt of the world was $32.S6.
That of foreign countries was 1920,
and of the United States $14.24. The
state and local debt of the United
States was $1S.13, making the total
national and local per capita tax for
the United States 1927, or less than
the average per capita of national
debts of foreign countries. France
has the largest percapita debt S116.35.
In the decade between 1880 and 1890
the S3 foreign countries increased
their national debts $1,134, 1876, 532,
while the United States decreased its
debts 81 ,O3O, 557, 260. making the net
increase little over $100,0O0,0O0. A
few other countries beside ours made
a slight decrease in their debts. Dur
ing the 10 years ending 1890, the
national, state and local bonded debts
of this country were reduced 1872, 517,-
1877, or $50 per cent.
Passing to states debts, he showed
that the average per capita for the
union in 1890, was 1896, while that Of
Minnesota is S1.73, and ranking 10th
in the list of states. He gave de-
tailed accent of the debt of the state,
following it through its different
phases, and thought the people of the
state could well congratulate them
selves on the condition of their state
finances.
Turning to municipal and school
debts he said that the total munich
pal and school bonded debt of Blue
! Earth county in 1890 was 1921, 525, de-
Quoting sinking fund, or 1884 per
capita. The average per capita OF
the state, for such debts was $12.16.
For the city of Mankato at the same
date, the municipal and school debt
was $25.34. In looking over the figures
= he thought this an error, and believed
that the per capita of our total debt
was somewhat higher, but that as
it was, run nearly three times the
average for the county and more
than twice that for the state general
ly. The bonded debt is made up Of:

impossible to make an estimate that
. would be reliable, but thought il
about $4,000. Another might arrive
at different conclusion. But if the
1890 figures are correct, and the esti
mate S25, 900 for the present floating
debt correct, the per capita indebted
ness mas been reduced from 1854 to
S21.3 owing to the growth in popula-
tiOn.
He then followed with a table COM
pairing the per capita debt of sixteen
cities of the state in 1890. as follows:

The Maryland Murderer Admits
His Fearful Crime,
he ALONE KILLED sLLLIE DEAN.

He Endeavored to Implicate School Teacher
CorIsrau on Account of a Grudge ana to
Save Himself from Being Lynohed--Led
to Confess by woman's Appeal.
BALTIMORE, May 9.-Price, the convicted
murderer of Miss Dean, of Denton, has
made q final confession, in which he adj
mits that he alone committed the deed.
Up to Tuesday night he stoutly adhered
to his first story, in which he charged
Grant Corkran, popular young school
teacher, with being the principal in the
crime, upon the strength of which Cork
ran spent week in jail. His admission
that he is guilty of the double crime
aroused so much anger that the authori
ties brought Price to Baltimore for safe
keeping.
Price made this statement without a
tremor:
'When went into the woods on the
morning of the murder knew that Sallie
Dean usually passed along the road nearby
on her way to school. When l saw her
approaching went to her and talked for
| a minute or two.
After we talked for a while struck
Sallis with the three oornered stone that

woods and covered it with cedar bush
buried her lunch pail, her books, the
stone and the knife. When the body was
found was active in trying to locate the
murderer, for did not wish the authori-
ties to suspect me. After told the de-
tectives of my dream they, of course,
thought 1 murdered the girl and they
eventually fastened the guilt on me-"
"Why did you implicate Grant Corkran
in the murder?"
Because l had a grudge against him, in
the first place, and, secondly because l
was under the influence of liquor when l
made the statement to Marshal Frey. The
people of Caroline county were anxious tc
| lynch the murderer, and know that II
/ held to my statement about Corkran
would be safe from harm"
Price intimates that he was induced tC
confess when he received a letter from &
lady in Baltimore who signed herself IS.
NJ. j., 1923 West Fayette street." The
lady sent Price prayer book, and urged
him to confess and free Grant Corkran';
