That RefundinQ Bill.

The Californians propose to let con-
gress know what they think of the
Huntington ring, of the Southern Pa
cific outfit and of the proposed refund
ing plan. They are sending out htera-
ture, and some of the pamphlets do not
mince matters in dealing with the his
tory of the Pacific roads. The fact Is
pointed out that, of the millions ad-
vanced by the federal government, one
half was Incorporated and diverted
to their own use by the men intrusted
with the work. THE companies In
whose name they acted are left at the
end of thirty years stripped OF all
means to pay, while the individual
directors are all millionaires."
The total thus plundered is many
millions-the stealings are the bulk of
some of the largest private fortunes In
the world. The United States advanced
for the construction of the railroads In
question, including the interest ac-
count, not less than s175.000,000 besides
giving twenty-six million acres Of land
worth at the governments price nearly
seventy millions. Huntington, as rich
as any of them who were in the ring,
is now operating a lobby in Washing
ton in the interest of the refunding
scheme.
In large measure, California pays the
fiddler; that state has been ground un-
der the Southern Pacific's heel AT
maturity the Central Pacific's debt
amounts to more than seventy-seven
million dollars-the Union Pacific, re-
| lated directly to the coast trade, is In
the same boat. Extending these debts
for fifty years, even at two per cent,
means that their total will be doubled;
and thus a tribute amounting to hun
dreds of millions will rest on the peo-
pie for two generations to come. San
Francisco claims that mo conquered
Roman province was ever so grievously
taxed"
OF scores of men who have given pub
lie expression to their opinions on the
refunding scheme. Mayor Sutro was
| among the first. He put the case In
nutshell when, referring to the Hunt
ington ring, he said: These are the
men who owe the government eighty
million dollars, and after having robbed
the properties which they held in trus
for the United States of everything tina
is of value, they have the effrontery t.
ask congress to make them PRACTICAL!
n Gift of what they owe. If there Il
any manhood or any justice left In TN
land, the refunding measure Will o'

SUNDAY, JANUARY %, 1896.
The Diplomatic Field.

Resnonding to a toast at banquet
given last week in New York city, An
drew d. White talked suggestively
about the merits Of this country's arp
Jomatic service. Mr.. White is famhiar
with that theme; when a young man
Just out of college. he was Attached 10
the legation at ST. Petersburg. In later
wears he was United States minister 10
Berlin and afterwards to Russia. he
is one of the members of the Venezue-
IAN commission lately named by Presi-
dent Cleveland.
Mr.. Whites presentation of the dip
lomatic service from the financial point
of view is suggestive. He proves that
there is money for the government IN
the gentle art of persuasion. HIS ngures
show that the cost of this country S
dfplomaaic equipment last year was
about half a million dollars. That Is
not a large sum. especially when II Is
put in contrast with the expense OF
war. The cost of the rebellion I'm this
country was about three million dollars
a day: the cost of the Frranco-Prussian
war was even greater. Using these
figures as a basis, Mr.. White shows
that the cost of our diplomatic corps
for a year Is equivalent TO the cost OF
about four hours of war; the diplomatic
service would pay all its expenses for
about six years If 1T shortened war FOR
the space of twenty-four hours TT is
altogether probable" said Mr.. White
.sthat Charles Francis Adams, by his
t1nely remonstrances with Earl Rus
sell. prevented a prolongatton Of oui
civil war. which would have cost us
more than the entire diplomatic service
during hundreds of years"
Mr.. White. who knows the history Of
american diplomacy from first TO last
speaks in praise of the service. He as
serts chat no other country has been s.
steadily represented at the court Of 81
James by such "a series of capable an'
disinteresued men as has our own gov
eminent, and the same may be said o
several other legations representinl
this country in Europe. He advocate
better provision for the service. insist
1ng hat every American representative
abroad should have such a salary tina
he can give his thought entirely TO tn
public service and that, socially as we
as in other ways, he can do his dut,
,rnhampered by the fear that he Is i'm
poyerishing himself and his family.

POPULIST TOOLS OF GOLD-BUGS IN
HALIFAX.

News reached Raleigh yesterday that
the Populist and Republican registrars
in Halifax county persist in their re-
fusal to serve notice upon voters who
have been challenged in the regular
and legal way prescribed by law. They
have been shown the law, and yet they
refuse to perform their plain duty. 1t
is the only certain way they think in
their reach to keep illegal negro voters
on the poll-book, so that they may I'M
lawfully vote. The Democratic voters
have been instructed to apply for a
mandamus to compel these men to
serve the lawful notice.
We now begin to see what Chairman
Holton meant when he told Creelman
that 'eTHE ENORMOUS REGISTRA-
TION OF UNQUALIFIED NEGRO
VOTERS" was relied on TO carry the
State for Mckinley. We expected no
better of the Republican officer; for
his party has always practised fraud
when opportunity presented, but the
action of the Populist is a surprise be-
cause we have thought them better
than the Republicans. We do not
change our opinion. We only see one
more evidence that the Populist ina
chine is working side by side to ex-
ecute Hanna's plan, going far enough
as the tools of the gold-bugs to violate
the law.
We venture to suggest that the two
Fusion poll-holders, bad as their con-
duct is, ought not to be taken away
from their homes and brought to Raj
eigh, but that the matter ought to be
heard in their district, and as near to
their home as possible. The recent
action of bringing election officers
from Winston and other points to an
swer charges, if not unconstitutional,
is contrary to the spirit of our laws,
harsh, unjust, cruel and burdensome.
Section IL of the Election Law has been
violated by the Halifax poll-holders,
and punishment cannot be too swift.
But they ought not to be dragged half
across the State to get a ''non-partisan"
Judge to hear the case.

THE FURRY DID NOT LAST LONG

Washington, Oct. GA statement
telegraPhed from San Francisco to-day
to the effect that the United States
sub-Treasury there had just pulled
through a run which threatened to an
initiate its gold holdings is stated by
the Treasury officials to be greatly eX-
aggregated. During the month of Au-
gust and part of September the with
drawals reported from the sufb-Treas-
ury at San Francisco were abnormally
heavy, but at no time were the officials
apprehensive of any serious results.
The assistant treasurer at San Fran
cisco managed the matter with little
assistance from Washington and as one
official stated to-day, 1.-THE furry lasted
but short time and alarmed no one.
There have been no unusual with
drawals at San Francisco for nearly a
month
