and passed by the Legislature, and must
cit or be passed as a whole or rejected.
Mr.. Hill sppesled from the dec sion Of the

Mr. Hill then offered the following:
Besolve1, That the bond issue be postponed
until Messrs. Goldsborough & Co. are heard

this fact. he thought the bill would i'm.
pose additional burdens on the tax pay.
ers which were already heavy enough.
To carry out In the provisions OF the bill
the city would have to raise 81 600 more
money and for intsrest and 81 500 more
to pay into the sinking fund created un-
der the act. To do this would require an
inciess in values In the city Of $3.50, 900
and he feared such increase could not be
had 10 the near failure.
Mr.. Bryan said the opinion of Cor
porf ton Attorney Boothe settled all
the legal questions raised by Mr.. Snow
dep. Of the $50, 900 to be raised the gas
works would take care OF the $40, 900
leaving $50 600 only for the general
fund ID take care OF; then the sinking
fund would save o considerable sum on
the $50. 900 OF 6 per cent bonds which
it would care for. Uoder the plsn pro
posed when this $50 900 became due 10
thirty years there would be $50, 600 10

This fund in the original ordinance was

certainly 1t could not In anyway affect the

lam of the opinion that there can be no
legal objection TO the holding of the special

The evident object OF this section of tho set
is TO provide for an expression OF opinion on

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 10. 1902.

THE LONG DISCUSSED bond issue IL
nov considered by Council to be In
tangible shape, and by the action Of
that body last night the qualified
voters Of the city will be given an op'
portuuity on Thursday, May %, to say
whether or not the bonds shall be is-
sued. The subject has been argued
pro and con for several years past.
Much printers ink has been used and
untold volumes OF loQuaciousness spent
in arguments for aud against the
fu,taer issuance of bonds. Much hard
to oontrovert has been said on both
sides. and now that arguments have
been heard the people are to cit 10
Judgment and decide the issue Tor
themselves. Without expressing an
opinion either way, it is hoped ell in'
terested will weigh the matter care
fully and vote as conscience dictates.
Champions of the bond issue have
simmered down considerably of late,
and those who few years ago were
urging extravagsnt notions concerning
the flooding OF the city with $2OOOOO
worth OF bonds now form but cor
poral's guard. Those who maintain that
the city can provide for the payment oil
the interest Oh $50, 900 and at the same
create a sinking fund probably see
their way clear, while to others the adj
diional obligation may appear 10 q
more serious light. At any rate the
Rubicon has been crossed and the
peopls mu do their duty under the
circumstances. While OF present there
may seem ID be no reason for incress-
ing taxes 10 order ID pay the interest
on this Increased Indebtedness, which
briggs the oity's obligations up to
nearly $3.50, 900, contingencies may
arise where large and immediate ex'
penditures might be required which,
though the tax rate were not Increased
the city might be placed In an embar'
RAISING position. But we hope for
other things, though We thus speak,
and, like all others having the city's
interests at heart, hope to see all end
we'll. The subject has been thorough
ly canvassed and there is no need to
rehash old arguments for or against
the movement. 1t has been left to the
good sense OF the community, and
until its verdict is rendered further
comment would prove futile.

THE WITNESSES before the Senate
committee on the Philippines in their
admissions of fortunes in the shape oil
the water cure administered to natives
oil that far away cline in order Il force
them 10 confess that they are loyal to the
laod OF their birth, bear resemblance to
horrors read OF 10 ancient history. OF
course such avowals are read with dis.
gust, If not horror, by the good
throughout the world, and the fact that
such cruelties are perpetrsted under
he stars and stripes, supposed to be the
Insignia Of liberty, shows the flag Of the
United States has long since ceased to
sar with it principles and doctrines

be so terrible 10 its surroundings. 1t
will, however, not be forgotten by the
natives OF the Philippines, but remem-
bered as other generations did the hor-
rible cruelty connected with being
