iiHir riin have doubtlessly ob served, there has been a steady improvement in the value of Stat bonds vv nr mora nast. This improve ment yesterday culminated in quite boom in these nonas, a votjr amount selling at 83. This is not far from the highest point ever reached by State bonds, and never oeioro ycswjr Ar hj anv considerable amount of Louisiana securities been sold as high as 95. Two years ago State bonds acra livmMat 0..,. but only a few insig nificant transactions were reported at that figure.

Thn t.ntaA a.alna ITAatardaV Of Louisi ana, knnili considerably over a 100.000, as will be seen by refer ence to our regular financial coinmns. Thai tminu nTnrtAl. of COUTSe. Only includes the official sales recorded at the Stock Exchange, it being reason hl to inriDoaa that there were in ad dition suite a number of private trans actions. The causes assigned for the recent improvement in State bonds warrant the belief that the advance is not going prove temporary, but that the upward movement will culminate only when Louisiana 4 per cents have reached par and stand on a level with the securities of the most favored States.

The arrangement authorized by the last whereby a new and clean bond is to shortly replace the old stamped bonds, is believed to have not a little to do with the present improvement. The excellent crops of sugar and rice, the assistance allowed by the General Government to Louisiana's levees, the certainty of the interest on State bonds beinor promptly met for years to come, and the steady improve ment in the State's financial condition, have all contributed to draw attention to Louisiana bonds as an investment, and it is believed in financial circles that the demand will continue as long as the securities remain below par. The recent redemption by the City of her certificate 6 per cent bonds has drawn attention to other city securities, all of which have shared in the activity which has prevailed at the Stock Exchange, As nearly all the local financial institutions and corporations have a portion of their funds invested in State "and city securities, the advance in the value of the bonds has had a beneficial effect on all corpora tion shares, thereby infusing a decidedly cheerful feeling into the local financial situation. THIRD PARTI MOXET. The exclusive power of the Federal Government to determine and declare what shall bo legal money is unquestionable.

The Government, however, cannot force any creditor to accept its money. It does not attempt to do this. What the Government does, what every Gov ernment tries to do is to give its money such value as that creditors readily ac cept it. We have repeatedly seen the inability of governments to give their money any real value, as in the case of the Ameri can continental notes issued during the war for independence; in the as signats of the first French Republic; in the excessive and worthless paper currency ot several of the South American countries. There was a time, too, when one dollar in United States legal tender notes was only worth abont forty cents in gold.

It is plain, then, that this to create money does not inclnde the power to force people to accept it, but the acceptance is based on the actual value of the money and the known ability Of the Government issuing it to make it srood. There is no nation so able to guarantee its money as is the United States, but its issues must be confined to sense and reason in their limits and they must be given out for value received and in response to an act of Congress. The Third party people who are howling for the Government to issue unlimited greenbacks do not seem to realize that no matter how mach of this money might be printed and stored in the Treasury, not a dollar of it can be paid oat save in accordance with the principles mentioned above. How is anybody to get any of it How is every citizen in the country to be provided with what he may demand Plainly there is no way for anybody to secure a single penny of this money unless for supplies, services rendered, pensions or the like. It is not to be expected that Congress will pass a law dividing out the money in the Treasury at so much per head.

If not. how are the Third party people to secure their demanded increase of the circulation of so many hundreds of dollars to each individual Either through their demands the Government would have to bankrupt itself, or the masses conld not get thmoney claimed to be necessary to satisfy everybody. SWAPflNG JACKKN1TE3. What is prosperity Prosperity for the people of a country is their unrestrained ability to find employment for their labor and talents at adequate financial remuneration and the further ability to secure at reasonable costs all the necessaries of life, with not a few of tho comforts and have something besides to lay up for a rainy day. In order to realize such a state of things it is necessary that all the producers of necessaries should be able to find a fair market for their crops and manufactures.

These facilities for marketing products must not be confined to the country of production. They must extend to other countries besides. A set of school boys swapping jack knives would never increase their aggregate wealth by a single knife. One hoy might win all the knives, but it would bo at the expense of impoverishing all the others. If, they would combine to attract knives from other sources they might thus increase their general stock and bo able to divide a profit.

When tho people of a country confine their trade Btrictly among themselves they do not increase the aggregate wealth, but simply transfer it from one to another. At the end of a given period they are practically no better oft than at the beginning, because they have brought nothing Into the oountry and have secured for their products no market on the outside. This la always the fate of those narrow minded people who try to Burround their country with a Chinese wall of high tariff. They out off trade with other nations, they lose their foreign markets and necessarily they cannot seU their products at a profit, as they pro dace more than they can consume. This is how the, theory that a high tariff protects and raises the wages of home labor breaks down.

If we could bymsaos of tariff kep out all foreign vmnAf 1 fiin sand JsVK Uxa uma time have vwui' unlimited control of the markets of the world, the tariff theory would ail right. however admirable in theory, this proposition is an utter failure in practice. If foreign nations are prevented by our tariff from selling us their merchandise it soon necomes un pos Bible for them to buy ear products, unless in a time of starvation lite that vhinh has Trevailed in Russia and other parts of Europe lately. England, which produces little natu n.1 wealth, save coal and metals, such tut tin. eoDter and iron, became the richest country In the world by admitting free the raw products of all nations, manufacturing them and selling back to the producers? of raw material the manufactured articles.

In this way England drew money from every coun try. The United States has for a long time been the best customer England had, and this went on until the Chinese wall of tariff was. built. But our politicians who built this wall of separation did not Krifflr.ient statesmanship to pnt raw material on the free list, while they imposed high duties on the manufactured At the' same time, while placing tho prod acts of 'foreign labor under the ban, they continue to aamit the laborers and these are coming at the rate of half a million a year. But the tariff was made, not to pro tect American labor, but to enrich spe cial classes of American manufacturers.

If it had been intended to enrich the whole country, a very different sort of legislation would have been adopted. On the contrary, the existing laws were intended to enable a few sharp, shrewd fellows to ferry on the game of swap ping jackknives and to monopolise all the knives by impoverishing their fellows. THE LONG DISTANCE MILITARY RACE. For several days past the whole of Europe has been excited over an event which, in itself of trivial importance, has become a momentous affair both because of its i nternational character and the fact that Its nature appeals strongly to the military tastes of the vast number of persons who form the armed camp of: Europe. The event in question is the long distance race on horseback between the cities Ot Berlin and Vienna by military officers.

The total distance to be covered was about 400 miles, and the competition was between officers of the German and Austrian armies. All the contestants set out early Saturday morning, the Germans leaving Berlin for Vienna and the Austrians leaving the latter city for the German capital. The race (was mads by 109 German and 43 Aus trian officers from the different crack regiments of tie respective armies. I Th rao excited interest more on account of the test it. afforded of physical endurance of both men and horses than because of any practical benefit to result to military science, although it will no doubt prove of value to ascertain in how short a time a eonrier could be relied on to cover the distance between two such distant points as Berlin and Vienna.

Irrespective, however of the prac tical uses to be derived from' the race. the contest has excited the liveliest in terest all over Europe, particularly in military circles, and, as is always the case under such circumstances, much money has been wagered on the result. It was generally believed that the Ger mans would come off victors, but the result shows that the unexpected has happened, two of the Austrian officers having reached Berlin yesterday morn. ing, covering the entire distance in just three days. We may now expect to hear of snob international long distanfte contests be tween officers of other nationalities than those who have just completed the first attempt of the sort, and as the test of physical endurance of both men and animals which such a competition affords appeals strongly to military taste, and is probably of greater value to the contestants than the carousing that too of tent forms the main feature of garrison life, such competitions will likely be encouraged by the higher officers.

FLORIDA STATE ELECTI053. The State elections of Florida were held yesterday, resulting in Democratic victory over the People's party ticket. No Republican ticket was pat into the field and the negroes were urged to vote with the People's party in the hope that a division of the whit voters would turn the scale and accomplish the defeat of the Democracy. Bat these calculations wholly failed, since the negroes in large 'numbers, as they did in Alabama, voted straight along with the Democrats. Whatever may be the effect of party.

discipline upon the negroes When a regular Republican ticket is to be voted for, they realize that they nave noth ing in the way of political or other favors to expect from A mongrel organization like the People's party. If they are to abandon their own party the negroes are smart enough to make com mon cause with the strongest party. and they have done so in every case where some nondescript organization attempts to use them. There is every indication that the Democracy has car ried Florida by a decisive vote. TO FACILITATE MAIL DELITERT.

The Post Ofaco Department has au thorized a practical test of the pneu matic tube system as a means ot bringing about more rapid and reliable dispatch of mail matter in large cities and between neighboring points. A com mittee of officials was appointed to look into the matter and on recommendation of this committee the department at Washington has authorized the ac ceptance of the offer of a punematio tube company to pnt down a system of tubes between the' mam Philadelphia office and one of its branches. This trial is expected to demonstrate the usefulness of the system in large cities for the distribution of matter from the maia office to the bra nches. and if successful for that work eould eventually be made to afford communi cation between different cities. The trial to be made at Philadelphia is to be nndertakea by the Pneumatio Com pany without expense to the and without any obligation on the part of the postal authorities to ao cept the system of any particular com pany, the test being solely for the par pose of demonstrating the feasibility of the pro oosed method of mall distribution, and not to demonstrate the merits of any particular invention.

The adoDtion of such a svstem would be of great banefit in large cities where meraarataany outlying branch offices, as. it would permit the house to house distributios of ttbe mail from many points with the minimum of da fc lay. The success of the system on a small scale would open np vast possibilities as to its future application to long distances. The Post Office Department has cone done well to encourage a trial calculated to increase the facilities guaranteed to the public by the mall service, and should the Philadelphia experiment prove sncoessf nl there is no doubt that the system would soon be adopted all over the country, at least in all the large cities. THE AJm SXAPFEE BREACH HEALED.

The final decision by the Anti Snapper or Anti Tammany Democrats of New York city, not to put np a local ticket in the city in opposition to the regular nominees, will be received with satisfaction by Democrats, who feared the effects of continuing the party dissensions in the State where the most' deci sive action of the national political contest is to be fought. This is a bad year for party disaffecttons. and the Democrats will do well to get rid of them as completely as possible. A Moslem Dignitary Gone. The death is reported at Tan tiers of the Shoreef ot Wazan, one of the greatest dignitaries of the Moslem faith.

Although the Saltan of Turkey Is "The Father of the FalthfnV the Bhereef of Wazan.SigEl HadJ Abdeaalam. was theoretically the greatest man la xbe Mohammedan world. His style wast "The Ben of Moulane All. the Bon of Menlatlna Fatlraa, the Daughter of the Emissary of God." The pedigree of the Saltan ot Morocco is not to be compared to this. The Bhereef was Titular Chief Priest and Prophet of snsot the eblef Mohammedan sects, ealUd the Mulai Tall, which dates from the ninth century.

He enjoyed an income of about 150,000 a year, contributed by his raitbfuL In eass ot a revolution It was always thought he might become Saltan ot Meroeco. Bis state was quasi regal. He had four or fire palaces. He claimed and obtained tribute at Wajan. even from Touat.

Wajan Is a sacred oltr a sanctuary Inhabited by nothing but Sbereefs, bat they were all subject to the Great Bhereef of Wajan, and the Saltan ot Morocco was not ooosld ered secure upon bis thraae until the Great Bhareaf had formally acknowledged him. The Slave Trade Still Flourishing. Despite the efforts ot England and Germany to put dewa the Afrloan slave trade, advices from Aden say that it Is still In a very flourishing condition. There Is a large demand for slaves, high prices are paid for them, and urge caravans from the interior arrive en the east coast dally. The caravans find no difficulty In passing through Vita, and the slaTM are shipped at points near ZeUah, Massowah and Suakim.

The traders will accept nothing for the slaves but modern firearms and ammunition. It Is said that the mortality among the slaves while route rrom the Interior to the coast amounu to 70 per cent. The Arabs, it is reported, are preparing foi extensive raids during the eo ming winter in the regions of tho Congo Free State and German and English East Africa. Melbourne Was Excited. Frank Melbourne, the rainmaker, got very much resetted at the railway station at Cheyenne, when he missed two valises containing his ralnmaklng apparatus and chemicals.

He drew a revolrer and rushed about the platform, halting every man er woman who was carrying any baggage. Quite a paale as created, and It was only allayed when Melbourne's manager found the mlsslak property where the rainmaker had himself stowed It under a seat. It is said that he has in the last fortnight successfully filled two contracts for rain la Wyoming and made eonstdorablo money by it. He will visit Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota before frost sets In, and hopes after this season to sell his secret to the Government. To Give Up Uganda.

Iord Bosebery bas notified the British East Africa Company that the Government has determined to evacuate that eountry. In order to give the time needful for arrangements for the evacuation, the eountry will contribute to the cost of the occupation until the end ot March, but no longer. He says that unless the company can show good eause tor delay, the abandonment mast take place by New Year's. The Latest Boston, Amusement.

Boston bas lnventod a new amusement whleh Is tot to compatible with Intellectuality. It consists In writing a letter while standing at a table, and at the same time trying to describe in the air a reversed with the right foot, that Is a with the loop on the left side. The operator practices with the foot Until he gets it going just hs he wants It to, and then undertakes at the same time to make the correct letter with his hand. It is said that the foot will follow the hand. In spite of all one can do.

Of course, this provokes amnsement, and tne mirth that followa must be decorous, er Boston would not countena noe it. Was He "Jack the Ripper?" A prisoner, thought to be a lnnatlo, who was held at Vienna for a number of atrocious murders and robberies, and committed suicide last week. Is thought by the Austrian police to have been the infamous "Jaok the Kipper." They say that they have evidence that he was in London when every murder attributed to "Jack the Kipper" was committed. He also commit ted several murders In Buenos Ay res. For bis later murders, however, he did not oheose fallen women as the ylotlms; the crimes were committed in dayilcht, and he robbed as well as murdered his victims.

Hannibal's "Vinegar." School boys for numberless generations hare been taagbt to translate "deducit scopnloa et montes rnmplt acete," Hannibal "got rid of the rocks and broke the bills with vinegar." During his passage ot the Alps, Blr George Bowen, of England, has been making careful inquiries over the whole Alpine route, and finds that in the native dialect the word aoeto still means a kind of pickax which the mountaineers use In making their way oyer difficult mountain passes. This pickax, la the hands of peasant pioneers, is, iu all probability, the "vinegar" which Liry says made a way for Hannibal's army. Specific for Cholera. A Philadelphia doctor announces that he has discovered a certain cure for cholera. It is hydronapthol.

This drug, he asserts. In very small quantities. Is certain death to the "comma bacillus," which Prof. Koch says is the cause of cholera. This fact he has proven by many experiments.

It should be given in ten grain doses three or four times a day where one has been exposed to the cholera, and In the same doses every hour when the cholera symptoms are pree ent. It seems, however, that his announce meat Is to be taken With a Utile salt, as so far his discovery la entirely, theoretical, and has not been tested on any actual cholera patients. 4 Cronin's Murderer Again.
