New York city needs s2.00o000 for irme-
date use and she is going 70 get il by
selling that amount of bonds. On gold
bonds she viii have to pay only per cent.
interest, but on "coin" bonds she would
have TO pay 35s per cent or more. Her
comptroller has no intention Of paying
the higher rate of interest. He takes the
ground that gold has been the monetary
standard in this country for more than
sixty years and it is going 70 remain
the standard. 1t would be folly therefore
to issue coin bonds on which the city
would have to pay a much higher rate Of
interest. Besides. he takes the position
that it is but right 10 agree 10 pay back
the kind Of money the city receives. If
the city receives gold or its equivalent
she should pay back gold or its equiva-
lent.
But the legislature Of Alabama eached
a different conclusion in a similar matter
The time has come for that state to re-
fund It's debt. The governor in commu-
nicatiOn to the legislature stated that by
making the new bonds payable in gold
about 100000 a year could be
saved in interest. The popu-
lists and some Of the democrats
refused to listen TO the proposition to
make the bonds payable in gold. They
were in the majority, and, hence, the
debt may not be refunded just yet. It
would be impossible to refund the debt
on favorable terms in any other than gold
bonds. Doubtless the combined demo-
Gratis and populists believe they have
gained "a notable victory for silver" but
in the course of time the people Of the
state may not think so. The taxpayers
have to pay about 100000 year for this
victory for silver.
The democrats are in the majority in
the legislature. is II their purpose to re-
pudiate the plank in their national plat
form which declares in favor of main
tanning the parity of gold and silver. IL
that pledge is kept what does it matter
whether the state bonds are made paya-
bic in gold or not. Those democrats who
voted with the populists against gold
bonds evidently think that the equality
of gold ana silver viii not be maintained.
At least they hope it viii not, ana they
are ready to do what they can to prevent
it from being fulfilled. They are likely
to be disappointed and at the same time
to be severely criticised by their constit-
uents for not saving the taxpayers $780,
O0O a year when they had the opportunity
to do so.

suddenly felt the ice raise under them
They quickened their strokes and after

the dark-colored, scalv back of what

Senator Villas thinks the government
should own and build its own postal
cars, instead of renting cars from the
railroads, hence his amendment to that
effect to the postal appropriation bill.
He calculates that the amount paid by
the government in one year for the use
Of postal cars would more than build all
that are needed. Then the cost Of trans
porting the mail would be confined to
the hauling charge based upon the weight
OF the mail matter. Inasmuch as SEN
ster Villas was once Postmaster General,
