such assistance to the rebels It might

hold their own in the island long. Al =
The grant Of belligerency is always
a delicate matter, for il is always re

likes to take the risk of recognizing

This is not the first rebellion in Cuba.

parallel between France at the out

Obituary,

DMICK.-Francis Baker Dlmick died at
Gran Vile, VT, February 1, 1895, after a
brief illness with pneumonia. He was born
in Lyme, N. H., November %, 1920, the
youngest son Of Samuel Dimick, who was a
descendant Of the Dimicks of Lincoln, Eng
In early life, while yet boy, he went to
Boston, where he spent his life till middle
age, and where he married Charlotte j.
Vinton. During the fifties, he removed to
Vermont, where he has since lived. A man
of unblemished character, he knew no en-
envy Always considerable of others and for
getful Of self, he evinced that same gentle
ness and submission during the last pain
full illness which had always characterized
him. The last of a large family who had
all passed on before him, he waited with
fortitude the summons to join them, look
ing forward to the rest where :" all seemed
so beautiful, 80 peaceful and calm" He
leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. @. A,
Best of Montpelier.

This Bond Sale and That.

Mr.. Cleveland sold his thirty-year
bonds to his foreign friends at a pre-
MUM of four and one-half per cent.
Hon. L. E. Chittenden, the man of
Vermont, whose familiar signature as
register of the treasury the original
greenbacks bore, says the value of these
bonds, on the day the contract was
made, measured by the price of other
government securities, was 1l92, and
that the foreigners will make clean
S12,000,000 out of the transaction.
Amazing and unprecedented as is this
profit, says Mr.. Chittenden, it is not
the half of our payment. These bonds
are for thirty years. The government
cannot call them and stop the interest.
In 1891, when the public accepted an
offer of an extension at two per cent of
the bonds then maturing, it was settled
that the rate of interest on longtime
treasury bonds ought not to exceed the
rate then paid. The extra rate of this
new loan will cost the country in thirty
years the comfortable sum of nearly
S2S 100000 AS against the three-per-
cent gold bonds, the president says the
loan will cost The country over $4,000
900. Mr.. Chittenden declares that the
proposition to bring part of the gold
from Europe, upon which the president
lays 80 much stress, will amount to
nothing. The movement of gold will
continue till the cause is removed, and
the cause is total lack of confidence
in the integrity and financial ability of
the democratic administration. If there
were poor remnant of confidence left,
it would be swept away by this contract
of February s. We must wait, and
hope, and count the days, the veteran
financier concludes, till the republican
party, which established the national
credit and maintained it against the
assaults of its enemies, is returned to
power. And Mr.. Chittenden is entirely
right. In sharp contrast with this
transaction, and emphasizing the vast
distinction between republican and
this democratic administration, is the
fact that, in 1878, Mr.. Sherman, then
secretary of the treasury, sold the
Rothchilds $5O,OOO,OOO four and one
half per cent bonds to get gold for
resumption purposes, at the full market
price of the day, and the sole concession
was a commission of one-half of one
per cent for acting as agents of the
government.

Politics in New York,

Interest in the course OF events in
New York city is only less general and
lively than in the development of the
policy and line of action of new ma
tional administration. Last week the
curtain rose on the second act of the
drama in which Mayor Strong is the
star and Mr.. Platt is the villain, with a
cast of characters Shakesperian in
strength and drawing powers. Since
the mayors induction into Office the
public has been chiefly entertained by
the music of the orchestra and the de.
velopment of the plot, the scene shift
ing from the city to the state capital,
the curtain going down to slow music
with the passage of the power of re-
moval bill.
The second act opens with events of
real dramatic interest. The mayor
bares his big right arm and draws the
snick-a-snee forged for him at Albany.
The heads of Tammany officials begin
to fall, and all "goes merry as mar
riage bell till the selection of sue
cessor to the commissioner of public
works is made. The mayor has APP
pointed to this important Office William
Brookfeld, republican, who was re-
Gently the anti-Platt candidate for the
craftsmanship of the republican county
committee, and was defeated by small
majority after bitter contest. The
reform element ardently sustained Mr..
Brookield, and his candidacy had the
favor of Mayor Strong. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Brookfeld has created a
great commotion among the regular {"
republicans. Mr.. Plat accuses Mayor
Strong of breaking faith with him in
making this appointment. Mr.. Strong
says there has been no question of
keeping faith, except with the people
who elected him. No pledges were
made to individuals or organizations
which could be broken, and the records
abundantly sustain Mr.. Strong's aver
ment. He repealed, with rugg ID en-
ergy and plainness of speech, before
his nomination every attempt to COM
NIT him to any partisan course in the
matter of appointments or anything
else. A vast amount of patronage and
very grave responsibility attaches to
the office of commissioner of public
works. Beyond determining to ap.
point republican, politics had nothing
to do with Mr.. Brookfields selection
The Office was first offered to three
other individuals and declined The
mayors first object was to find an
honest and competent man, and in his
perplexity he turned to Mr.. Brookfeld
who is both honest and competent, and
insisted, against the latter's positive

Political Notes.

Yesterday afternoon a Mexican
attempted to register three times.
Registrar Santleben turned him
down each time, as he was not a
qualified citizen, and finally told
him IL he tried the same again he
would send him to the penitentiary,
as the law gives him the right.
This morning a Mexican farmer,
who lives with his father on a farm
beyond Somerset, in Atascosa
county, got in line at the registrars
Office and took his turn to get GER
tificate. An old acquaintance, who
knew him in Atascosa county,
spoke to him and learned that he
was still residing on the farm, and
had only been in the city since last
Saturday. He was not allowed to
register.
The rumor is being put abroad
on the streets, that Policeman Bond
was suspended because he was
electioneering for the Callaghan
ticket. The police officials deny
this to be the fact.
The suspension of Policeman
Maltsberger, who was considered
as an Elmendorf man, was for a
far different cause than politics,
but the facts are not divulged.
Charges will be preferred before
