This contest for bonds is an old story,
and the failure of previous attempts TO
secure them gives greater rejoicing to the
easy victory OF to-day. For months the
subject has been ably discussed in the
Gate City Chronicle, published by Mayor
pro TEN. Appleyard, and every weak
point in the plans was eliminated and the
final contest came with clear and well
defined proposition, as follows-no oppos-
ing votes being cast:
Eight bonds Of 81 900 each for payment
of outstanding city warrants. Vote
stood PA.
Thirteen bonds of 81 600 each, for school
purposes. Vote stood 2l3.
Two bonds of 81 600 each for lighting

twenty-five bonds of 81 900 each, for
grading and paving the streets. Vote
stood pol
With this issue of bonds the city pays
of its small debts, will erect fine new
school building, secure better lights for
the streets and public parks and complete
her present excellent work in grading the
streets and walks. Sanford has a
splendid system of public schools, but it
has suffered greatly for want of well
arranged school house. As to her streets,
il is absolutely impossible for her to ad-
vance without thorough system of street
paving Already the experiments with
water paving wet sand and shells have
demonstrated the value of solid streets to
the business of the city.
While everybody, but the usual number
of sore heads, is happy over the result of
this days election, Col Thomas J. APP
pleyard, of the Chronicle, feels the most
jubilant, as he has a right to do. Both in
his editorial capacity, and as the presi-
dent of the board of aldermen he has
been untiring in his labors to win success.
He commended for an able, non partisan,
honest board of trustees, and such a one
has been chosen, which assures the
proper expenditure of the proceeds of the
bonds.
Sanford is not making much noise in
the world just now, but she gets there all
the same. Her banks, her merchants,
her hotels, her factories and her railroads
and steamboats, are all doing well. The
season has opened favorably and every
body seems hopeful for the future. With
the expenditure of S45, coo, as the pro
ceeds of the bonds voted to-day, in our
midst during the coming year all
branches of'business will reap some bene-
fit The outlook was never brighter for
the Gate City to regain much OF her old
time push and prosperity and hold on to
it permanently.

A ToO-PREvIOUs DIPLOMAT.

Since the State Department has an
nounced that nothing in its instructions
TO Mr.. Stevens. the United States Minister
to Hawaii. authorized him to declare
rrotectorate ever the Island, 1t must DE
admitted that he is, at least, what Mr..
Blount described him, "a pretty lively
fellow" This is about as bold and adj
vanced a step as any representative or
great power ever yet undertook to take
without express authority to do so from
his Government.
Unauthorized as it was, however, 1t may
contain in itself elements for the solution
of the very embarrassing affair. our Gov
eminent can. and should, promptly dis
cleim Mr.. Stevens act, whereupon we
put ourselves in a position TO escape all
disagreeable and compromising situations
that might grow out Of it. Nevertheless
II is the plain duty Of this Government to
afford complete protection to the persons
and property of Americans on the island.
Since our marines have be,n installed
there under Mr. Stevens unauthorized act,
we may as well leave them there for the
present, but with distinct proclamation
made to the world that they are not tfire
to exercise protectorate over the Island
OF Hawaii, but over the persons and pro-
rerty Of American citizens only and they
will be withdrawn as soon as they are
safe. SO long as they remain there. there
will be no disturbance Of the provisional
government that has beeI set up. This
will enable it to get well upon its own
legs. after which it can maintain itself
and we can withdraw our marines.
In this way we shall have performed our
duty in protecting our own citzohs-we
shall have lent friendly aid to neigh
boring State in securing order for itself
and we shall have rid ourselves Of most
disagreeable and compromising situation
compromising If the Jingoists are lis
tened to and we allow them to draw
us into forgetfulncSs of all our past with
its professions.

as active in that direction as was Kala-
kaua But I have indubitable evidence
OF her frequent participation IN idoiatrous
worship. notwithsta nding her frequent at
tendance at church. Twice once In 1891,
she has personally sacrificed to Peie. as
was described to me In detail by persons
who helped to carry down the pigs and
fowls which were thrown by her alive
upon the burning lava. On last April
personally witnessed the descent into the
crater OF Kilauea OF n delegation of nine
members OF the Hale Naua, including
two noted kahuna women. They spent
there several hours In clamorous incan-
tations and sacrifices OF scarfs. handker-
chiefs coin and locks OF their own hair,
thrown into the fiery pit. This delega-
ton had brought special letters from the
Queen to the native Governor at Hilo.
IL should be understood that much OF
this idolatrous worship is accompanied by
the most loathsome and nameless abomi-
nations. The palace under Kalakaua
reeked with this vieness. Most OF the
same encourage still hangs about the
court and infects every native that comes
near with its contamination.
The native Hawaiians are about 5000
out Of a population Of about 100000. OF
whom about 220O0 are Americans and
Europeans, the remainder being Chinese
and japanese.

in the Union as soon as the island has
population enough when each male In
habitant must become a citizen endowed
with all the rights Of citizenship. includ-
ing the right to vote on all questions that
concern the people OF the United States.
IT, then, we annex Hawaii 1t must be with
the intention Of making these savage
heathens full citizens OF this Union. We
cannot exclude Hawaiians from the right
TO vote. because the settled policy OF this
Union is to forbid any one to be denied
the right to vote on account of race, color
or previous cor diticn OF servitUde. That
was adopted directly after our war as
cardinal feature in our constitutional law
by putting It into the Fifteenth amend
ment When Hawaii is annexed, there
fore. we must make all these idolatrous
heathens full citizens of the United States
or we must give up the cardinal principle
of government that no one shall be dis
franchsed on account Of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. There Is
no middle ground.

VALUE OF THE GOVERNMENT STAMP.

The talk about the '7O-cent dollar Is
silly. IL means that the bullion In a sill
yer dollar is worth only 70 cents. Very
well. What is the paper In a sreenback
or national bank note worth? Next TO
nothing. A thousand dollars in silver
coins is worth intrirsically but say, 400
But a thousand-doilar greenback is worth
intrlnslcally nothing.-Dispatch editorial
Of Thursday.
The mere we think on the above the
more we are puzzled by 1t. If the Dis
patch has made up It's mind to turn Popu
list. discussion is, of course, thrown away.
Eut. If it proposes to remain a Demo-
cratic journal, and the foregoing is ad-
vanced rs argument. that is another
thing.
What 1t says is the argument of the fiat
money man. which is that the Govern
mont's stamp on anything whatever
"this is a dollar''-makes that thing
dollar. We never argue with people who
advance this theory. any more than with
those who claim that two and two make
five. But we would point out to the Dis
patch that the real value Of greenpack
dollar is not the paper I'm IT or I'm the
Governments stamp. Its real value rests
in the fact that it contains q promise OF
the Government of the United States to
deliver to the holder of it a dollar The
tire when the delivery is TO be made is
not specified, ii is true, but the faith of
the Government is pledged to the per
Torrance of the promise. and that, of
course. involves the idea that the promise
will be p' rformed within a reasonable
time. AS no tine for the delivery was
specified when tie notes We're first put
out. that fact put them at a discount,
where they remained long time; but as
time passed and it became evident that
the Government would be able to perform
the promise, confidence in its good faith
caused the value Of the promise to rise
until 1t got to be worth almost as much
as the thing promised whereupon the
Government, having become able to per-
form the promise without Inconvenience
to itself, and having inaugurated a reg
ular system Of performance, the green
backs became in all respects Just as valu-
able as the thing promised by it. But
this was because the thing promised by It
"a dollar-could be obtained for il when
ever 1t was asked for, and not becalse
the paper in ii was valuable or the Gov
ernment's stamp was valuable.

Notwithstanding the boasts OF the OPP
moments Of the Sherman Silver Purchase
bill that there were enough Democrats
in the House 10 defeat the measure, the
result proved, when the bill for Its repeal
was called up last Thursday. that
such was not the case. The repeal
bill was defeated by decisive vote. and.
though II was done by the vote or
number OF Republicans. and by the solid
vote Of the ten Popuists In the House.
being cast on the side OF the anti-repeal-
ers. OF course the Democratic majority
IN that body will be held responsible for
II.
The general sentiment among the Dem
ocrats who voted against repeal was that
the measure was a very bad one. and
faulty In many respects. but they said
they would not vote to do away with II
until substitute for IL had been pre-
scented. To vote against II without any
thing to take its place. they reasoned,
would leave them without any compul-
sorry silver purchase measure whatever,
and thus they would be placed at the
mercy Of the opponents OF free silver.
This was a most peculiar argument.
Have these gentlemen forgotten the po-
sition OF their party towards the Sher-
man bill? Have they lost sight OF the
fact that the Democracy of the country.
in convention assembled at Chicago, de-
nj dac1o rod bp Ghqr-
man bill TO be "a cowardly makeshift,
fraught with danger TO the country"
and that on that platform the Democratic
party swept the country, electing Grover
Cleveland President by an overwhelming
majority in the electoral college? II is
hard to understand how any loyal Dem
ocrat standing upon and endorsing that
platform. as all did who voted for Mr..
Cleveland, could have refused to repeal
and strike from the statute books, law
which they have themselves. by their
votes. declared 10 be a cowardly and dan
gerous makeshift.
But. perhaps they reason that the pres
ent Congress was not elected upon that
platform ana Is, therefore, exempt
from all its obligations. This is
rather flimsy pretext for postponing the
repeal of the obnoxious measure. since
II the Sherman law was a cOwardly make
shift in June, 1892, when the Chicago plat
form was adopted, II was equally so in
the fall Of $780, when the members of
the present Congress were elected. Their
votes to declare it cowardly make
shift in 1892 make their conduct in refus-
ing to repeal it now appear decidedly in
consistent
However that may be- the Fiftysecond
Congress has virtually declared that the
repeal of this law. which they concede
to be highly Objectionable must so over
until the Fifty-third Congress comes into
power, and their action may necessitate
the calling of an extra session of the next
Congress. 1t is pity that, as Democrats,
they did not permit Mr.. Cleveland to
begin his administration free from the
embarrassments which the unrepealed
Sherman bill must necessarily impose
thereon.
