social order of the old world. But
when / became acquainted with
some of your little towns, there |

anything we know in Europe,
quite superior to any social or
ganism we have yet developed.
There your people seemed really
to believe that men are created
free and equal. The same priv
ileges and opportunities were en-
Iioyed by all. Men of all occupa-

EDITORIAL

While our tutors are engaged in
endeavoring to reclaim the money be-
longing to the municipalities of San
Juan, Ponce and Mayaguez on depo
sito with the banking huose of I. M.
Ceballos & CO Of New York, they
ought to make an energetic effort to
recover the amount of the bond due
for the failure Of the Vandegrift
Company to fulfil its contract.
The amount of that bond, one hun
dred thousand dollars, which up to
now the con ngregation appears to have
made no great effort to recover, would
materially add to the resources Of
our treasury.
And now that the Treasurer is in
New York and has, together with the
Auditor and the Attorney General,
been delegated to see if it is possible
to recover the sums on deposit with
the above bankers belonging to the
municipalities heretofore named, it
would be well that a most determined
effort be made to recover the sum
due the People of Porto Rico on the
Vandegrift bond.
The matter of that one hundred
thousand dollar bond is most extraor-
dinary.
Our tutors, who seems to glory in
their fancied infalibiliy, who pretend
continually, to give Us lessons in the
science of government and instruc
ton in the details Of model and
prudent administration, whose lack
of foresight is largely to blame for
the error whose consequences the
country is sforced to suffer, ought
now to employ every energy and
means at their command to recover
the amount due from the forfeited
Vandegrift bond.
In the case in point, where is that
careful attention, that minute reg
ard for details. that, prudent watch
fulness of which the congrcgantes
make daily boast, and (which they
claim is evidenced in all their acts
The discreditable matter Of the
Vandegrift bond certainly offers nc
proofs Of the above characteristics
