the lunatic asylum, which is included
in the above, had not been exceedingly required
by tbe act of 1893, this
low rate would have been about 24
cents on the $1,000 lower. In other
words, the rate ol 75 cents per

tbe government and meet all the
appropi iations except the annex to

common school fund.
The State of Kansas has a Popu¬
list governor and a Populist legisla¬
ture. The tax rate there for this
year, as shown by the Kansas acts
of 1893, is 3.70 mills, or $3.70 on
the $1,000. Nothing whatever is
appropriated in Kansas for common
schools and pensions. That State
has a common school system sup¬
ported by district taxes which is an
additional tax to the $3.70 rate,
Cilixens are called upon by a Popu¬
list government to pay $3.70 on the
$1,000 for what a llemocraf-c gov¬
ernment in Georgia calls upon tbe
citizens here to pay 75 cents. II the
people of Georgia desire the common
schools abolished and ell pensions
to Confederate soldiers and widows
withdrawn then the tax rate can be
lowered to 75 cent* per $1,000.
The bagging trust is terribly
wrought up because it lears the new
tariff will adversely affect the wages
of its employee. "It is with much
sorrow,” says the tender hearted
trust, “that the employes are noti-
lid that it will be impossible to pay
the present scale of wages.” A cut
in wages, it says, will go into effect
about Nov. 1. Thetrust.it will be

too late iu the seasou lor them to

The Democratic party has uDder

The Louisiana Sugar Planters’
Convention Pleases Them.

Klement WM Only » Ilrawbiek to the
Party That Trtrd to Protect Them All It
Conulatuiitly.
Washington, Sopt. 80.—The Repub¬
lican managers of the campaign com¬
mittee are greatly pleased at the action
of the planters’ convention in Louisiana,
and expect a majority of the delegation
from that state in the next congress to
be Republicans, elected by the better
class of citizens. They are not saying
much about the matter, however, as
they do not care to frighten off new
converts by the revival of the old Re¬
publican organization there. They pro¬
pose to have the new order of things
worked oat by the people who of their
own free will have broken from t' *
Democratic party.
At the Democratic headquarters the
Louisiana affair is madodight of. They
insist that the Republicans have no
possible chance of getting more than
one district, and express the opinion
that even that will not be done. Sena*
tor Faulkner said that he was not
alarmed about Louisiana; that he had
no doubt about the election of a solid
Democratic delegation from that state.
The planters, he said, were not Btrong
enough to affect the result. *
Representative Patchings, who was
passing through the city on his way to
Mississippi, said:
"I am delighted at this action of the
planters. If that element in Louisiana
goes over to the Republican party it
makes the way easy for free sugar.
They cannot, in my opinion, elect Re¬
publicans to the bouse, and Democrats
who are elected in spite of their opposi¬ look
tion will be under no obligations to
after their selfish interests.
"The demands of the Louisiana plant¬ the
ers have been an embarrassment to
Democratic party, and [shall not be at
all grieved to have them cut loose. Even
if they should succeed in sending Re¬
publicans to congress it would not be a
matter of great consequence to the Dem¬
ocratic party. I don't think there is
any dauger of our being dependent upon
that delegation to hold the next house,
however. The state is Democratic with¬
out the planters, and we can very well
afford to have them in the opposition.” the
In answer to the suggestion that
vote of Louisiana might be important
should the next presidential General election Catch- be
thrown into the house,
ings said that he thought there was no
probability that the house would lie
called upon to elect the next president. General
Both Senator Faulkuer and
Patchings, in commenting on the geu-
eral situation, called attention to eviden¬
ces of a revival of business, which they
believed would result beneficially to the
party in power at the present time.
Senator Faulkner said that informa¬
tion received by him from different
quarters showed a great revival iu both
retail and wholesale business, and in
many lines of trade he said there was
an extraordinary activity developing.
General Patchings pointed to the in¬
creased demand npon the treasury for
small currency and the large sale of
postage stamps as an infallible sign of
revival of business. The treasury de¬
partment, he said, smali had been pressed to
the utmost for currency, and con¬
siderable gold was being offered in ex¬
change for it.
The sale of postage stamps during the
past two or three weeks, he said, he was
informed has been almost unprecedent¬
ed. These two things, he said, were
the best possible signs of a revival of
business activity.
LET THE DANCE PROCEED.
Preacher Monrehoa*«-» Attempt to Turn
It Into e Prayermeetlngr.
New York, Sept. 20.—The Rev. A. C.
Moorehouse’s attempt to stop a dance
in a barn in Smithtown, L. I., a few
nights ago, has created talk among the
young people. The barn is owned by
Harry Newton, and is located near the
parsonage of the Methodist church, of
which the Rev. Mr. Moorehouse is pas¬
tor.
The barn dancing was kept up until
a late hour. At the gray-haired height of the gay-
ety in walked the pastor,
bowed with age. He raised his hands
and the music was hushed and then the
dancers stopped. Tbe venerable gen¬
tleman then began to exhort those pres¬
ent to refrain from indulging in pleas¬
ure of that kind.
For a few minutes his remarks were
listened to with kiudly attention, but
when he volunteered to open up a pray¬
ermeeting then and there a storm of
protests opened up on all sides. The
clergyman was forced to retire aud the
dancing was soon under way again.
Big: Strike in Boston.
Boston, Sept. 20.—After weeks of
agitation for better prices, the garment
workers of this city have determined to
order a strike. It had been expected
within the past few days that an exten¬
sive strike would be averted and higher that
8,500 coatmakers would obtain
wages, the abolishment of the piece sys¬
tem, a return to week work and a nine-
hour day without a confliot. Employ¬
ers were wi’ling to make some conces¬
sions, but they much. thought the anions were

two years, has been removed from that
institution to the new building at White
