WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 10, '93 |
Secretary Carlisle has one good |
trait; he knows where to look for |
good advice when be Is I'm a hole |
he IL in a hole now. and it ia a deep
and dark one. Having called in vain
upon his party associates in Con- |
gress for legislation that would pro |
vide the money TO meet the deficit |
made by the announcement of the |
Cleveland and tariff progra NINE, he |
has now called upon Senator Sher- |
man for advice aud aid. Senator
Sherman told the democratic Sena-
tors at the time they declined his
suggestion that the silver repeal bill
should be amended so as to author
izs an Issue Of bonds that the admin
istraeioD would Ia the END have to
issue bonds. Well, the end is In sight
and the administration is going TO
Issue bonds, with or without the con
sent ofCongTess. II Congress will
aLthorizs an issue OF bonds they can
be made TO run a short period and
to carry only three per cent interest;
II Congress will not authorize the
bond issue, they are to be Issued un-
der the law of 1873 and will conse-
quently carry or AZ per cent inter
est and will run a long time. The
bonds have been printed and the Of
fetal announcement OF their Issue
may be made at any time.
Mr.. Cleveland is IS obstinate as ev-

ing position Ia which he Is placed by
the lest batch of Hawaiian CORE

Dole's manly and straightforward
answer to Minister Willis's demand
that the provisional government re
tire in favor of the dissolute woman
who had previously announced her
intention TO behead her opponents

opinion instead of being strongly OPP
posed as it has been from the first
