q Sudden Change.

NMr. Cleveland expects to get gold
bond valentine from congress in return
for his ultimatum he is going to get dis
appointed. Republicans W i'll rot vote
for thirty-year bond of any sort, be-
cause thev believe it will be giving awav
unnecessarily large sum OF money in
interest. Besides. as ex-Speaker Reed
aptly said, both President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle have officially
declared that the revenues of the gov
eminent will soon exceed the expendi-
lures. which is an argument against long
time bonds. Representative Springer
having tailed twice in his attempts to
get an administration financial bill
through the House, the hopeless task
has now been turned over to Represen-
tative Wilson. chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, OF trying to get
a gold bond bill through.
The foreign syndicate which bought
the $62, 400. 900 per cent. thirty-year
bonds from Mr.. Cleveland did a very
shrewd thing when they employed Mr..
Cleveland's former law partner to help
them make the deal, but they did not do
shrewd thing when they got Mr.. Clev-
Gland tt put on record. in his special
message, their willingness to pay the
same price for per cent, gold bond
that they had agreed to pay for 8 and
"a per cent. coin bond. In making this
distinction themselves they have furnish
ed an excelleet reason. should any future
administration desire to take advantage
of it. for paying the interest and princi.
pal OF those bonds in silver.
The Senator adopted the amendment
to the consular and diplomatic appro-
priation bill, authorizing the President
to contract for the laying of a cable to
Hawaii, and appropriating $500, 900 to
begin the work, Senator Pettigrew vot-
ing with the democrats against it.
Representative Boutelle, of Maine was
right in calling the attention of the
abe change OF policy on the part of the
administration within less than 20 days.
Said Mr.. Boutell: "The instructions to
Admiral Bearhsiee now on board the
Charleston in the harbor at Honolulu)
on Jan. 10, declared with great particu.
laritv the doctrine that IAN American
citizen who, during revolution in a
foreign country, participates in an at
tempt by force of arms or violence to
MAINTAIN or overthrow the existing
government, cannot claim that the gov
eminent OF the United States shall pro-
tect him against the consequences OF
such act" but that such citizens "for-
felt their rights in that regard to the
protection of the American flag" where
as understand by the official documents
that the Secretary of State has tele-
graphed Instructions to the u S. Minis
ter in Hawaii to peremptorily demand"
of that government "the delay OF execu-
ton" OF the sentences of its own tribu-
mails against persons convicted of COM
plicity in attempt to overthrow it by
force of arms and violence"
The unanimity with which the repub-
llcans OF the House voted for ex-Speaker
Reeds substitute for the administration
financial bill was very gratifying to re-
publicans. but not to the democrats who
have been predicting that there would
be as many financial factions among the
republicans in the next congress as there
are among the democrats in this. The
administration was strong enough to
prevent the adoption of Mr.. Reeds sub
.stitute but not strong enough to pre-
vent the defeat OF it's own bill.
