THE FUNDING PROBLEM.

notwithstanding the undeniable
second mortgage, or Government claim,
upon the transcontinental aided lines
would be the most uneconomic and un-
businesslike proceeding, and would re-
suit dn distinct loss to the Government,
the opponents of the funding PROPOSE
ton continue to cry with illog-
ical anger, foreclosure" and when
confronted with the unecouomic result
of such action, have nothing better to
offer in desperate response than this:
Let the aftermath take care of itself;
foreclose"
There ts, however, still another rea-
son against foreclosure and sale OF the
Governments claim that the opponents
of funding ignore, II in this atmosphere
Of unreasontng hate, reason will
be needed. If the United States
forecloses its mortgage and offers the
roads at public sale, the purchaser will
take only the interest of the Govern
ment, which Is subject to the prior and
greater lien. Now when the time comes
for the sale, If there is disposal of the
property with abatement Of any part of
the full sum due to the Government, by
just SO much the United States will be
presenting the buyer with the money
thus abated from the face of the Gov
ernment claim. It will be granting to
the purchaser a cash subsidy as dis
tinctly as If an appropriation and sub
sidy bill had been passed ordering 1t.
This Is true for two reasons: First.
because no one claims or expects that
the Governments interest win sell un-
der foreclosure for anything near ap
preaching the face of the claim as 1t
now stands. with the interest included.
This TACT Is conceded by the most ar
dent advocates OF foreclosure. Busi-
ness sense appears to be OF no consid-
MatAon with them, since they exclaim,
-S5sn the roads for whatever they will
bUGnu, NO matter how much less the
sum offered than that due to the Gov
euuxnent''
sapondly, such sale win amount to a
subsidy to the purchaser, because any
loss or abatement OF the sum due viii
be made In the face Of the fact that the
wAoae sum can be received by the Gov
srumens under the funding plan. That

this will be stopped. We will be happy
to learn that Sacramento has accom-
plished her expressed purpose and set
an example of sidewalk cleanliness.
But we have very little faith in the OBJ

United States that the national capital
ought to be fortified so as to render it
absolutely safe from any possible in
vasion or internal insurrecuon The
City Of Washington is situated so close

A POPULAR MOVEMENT.
San Jose Herald: If We may credit
the advices received a whole lot OF
adventurous Americans are preparing
to violate the Foreign Enlistment Act
and sundry neutrality laws by organiz-
ing tlibustering expeditions to Cuba.
Also, a lot OF eminently respectable but
less adventurous gentlemen in New
Y ork have organized a league to put
their more adventurous neighbors up
to overt action. They don't word their
resolutions in just that way, but that
is what they really mean. Also, some
straight work is being done in Con-
gress to the same end.
OF course all this is very irregular,
but 1T is also very suggestive. 1t means
that the people of the United States
are getting tired of this Cuban busi-
ness. They have come to the conclusion
that Spain is an outlaw and throat
among the nations Of the earth; that
the Cubans have suffered long enough
under Spanish rule; that they have
earned the right to independence, and
that 1t Is time to give them any as
sistance they may require to gain it.
When the people get into such a
frame of mind as this something is
likely to happen. 1t may not be quite
in accordance with the canons of in
ternational law, but this Cuban busi-
ness is getting to be a case Of can
mons rather than Of canons. When the
American people get really walked up
on this subject they will make little
international law of their own. Presi-
dent Cleveland has pursued a proper
course as the head of the Government.
But now the people and Congress are
disposed to force his hand, and prob
ably the diversion will be agreeable to
him. 1t will relieve him of response
bility to some extent
THE CUBAN LEAGUE.
San Jose Mercury: The organization
of the Cuban League of the United
States, comprising In it's membership
many of the most prominent and infiu-
entia1 citizens of New York, is likely
to have a material bearing upon the
Cuban contest. Public sentiment
against the barbarous warfare that is
being conducted by Spain Is rapidly
ripening, and 1t looks as though this
country would be compelled, sooner or
later, to take a hand in the fight

DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

It is not likely that the bolters will hold a primary today. Wiser counsel ought ito prevent such foolish thing; but if there are a sufficient number of hot heads to proceed with the bolt it becomes the duty of Republicans fa- miliar with the situation to warn vot- CTS to remain away from the bolters' primaries.
 The regular primary is called for Friday and mo Republican should stultify himself by giving countenance to the primaries called for today. No silver man can afford to vote in the goldbug primaries to be held today. No laboring man can afford to vote in primary that means a continuation of the present hard times. No farmer can afford to vote in a primary that means less water will cost him more money. No Mckinley man can afford to take part in an Allison bolt. In fact, no good citizen and true Repub- .ican can afford to ally himself with a movement that means the defeat o1 the will of the party.

Bulletin tips its beaver ito Governor Franklin. We hope that his term of office will be more tranquil than that of his predecessor. We hope also that he will shape his administration more strictly on Democratic lines than did his predecessor There is no denying the fact that the leading Democrats never wanted L. c. Hughes for gov ernor and they have never given him that support which should and will be accorded a Democratic governor who will stand by his party and party men and not share political patronage with the enemy.
 Florence Tribune (Rep): On We'd nesday last Governor Hughes stepped gracefully down and out and his place is now occupied by Acting Governor Bruce, not half as good a man.
 Jerome Mining News Oem.): The removal of Governor Hughes comes to the Democracy of Arizona as oil on troubled waters Through the work of the late governor the Democratic party had become disjointed and al most wiped out of existence and the only thing which could unite the party was the removal of Governor Hughes, and this having been accomplished the Democracy of the territory are to- day in better working order than ever before.
 Stafford Guardian Dem): That Gov ernor Hughes was not in touch with his party is evidenced by the oppOsi- 1 ition with which he has met from the first hour of his incumbency. In some respects his administration was reas- onably good. The Guardian makes this acknowledg cement in common fair ness ito Governor Hughes, although it belongs to that school of Democrats who believe that the interests of the party and the people would have been best served had a change in the gov ernorship been made long months ago
 Nogales Oasis Rep): Governor Hughes had served e-fourths ot the term for which he was appointed
 He has given the territory an ener- gedic, business-like administration and his removal is not particularly creditab1e to the National administra- tion.

More men have lost their lives in the search for gold than in any other line directed after wealth.
