Don't know" said the stout man on
Grand River avenue car the other after
noon, when asked by a friend where he
was going that time of day, relates the De
troit Free Press.
Sailing under sealed orders. Here they
are" as he ostentatiousiy produced a big
white envelope, ornamented with dab of
wax as big as a silver dollar. See? Not
to be opened until you reach the Campus
Martius.' Old lady wrote it herself. Didn' t
know 1 had so much curiosity. Seems to
me this car goes about mile an hour and
it makes more stops and longer stops than
ever before. Feel just like getting out and
walking on
At the campus the stout man jumped off
before the car had stopped, hurried to
lumber pile an front Of the opera house,
site and leaned there while he read. His
fiorid face became scarlet, his big right
hand crumpled the envelope and crumpled
the wax. He dove into his left hand breast
pocket, brought out an addressed letter,
carried it to the nearest mail box, and
thrust the missive in. He switched down
Cadillac square and ordered a seven-pound
roast, got to the eastern market by the
shortest route, laid in supply of beets,
cucumbers, strawberries, peas, onions,
and new potatoes, hustled back to town,
telephoned a family of friends that they
were expected to dinner the next day.
left an order at the Ice cream factory, had
some dainties sent from the grOcer's and
then headed for home, looking biacker
than a thundercloud. He tried to storm
and appear abused, but his wife only
laughed at him and recalled that it was
the first time in his life that he had gone
down town and done more than half
what she had told him to do.

TIE NEXT coNGREss.

After the 4th of March next the Re-
pubileans win have what they have been
long striving fora majority in the Sen
ate. Before the election on Tuesday they
had forty-3hree senators. The election
gave them, from present returns, at least
five more. In the next Congress, there
fore they will have a majority of three.
II they succeed in maintaining that ma
jority for the next six years they will
have the power to prevent the adoption of
any measure looking towards the free

tration, If Democratic House and Dem
ocratic President should be elected in 1900.
The political complexion of the next
House is not yet fully settled. Both the
Democrats and the Republicans are claim
ing it. There Is no doubt, however, that
the Democrats have made considerable
gains, and the indications are that they
will have a working majority. And they
made gains in localities, in most instances,
where the Republicans least expected them
to make them. It rather astonished the
Republican leaders TO have the Democrats
to gain congressman m Pennsylvania, for
instance. The Democratic gain in New
York surprised both parties
1t is quite evident that the Republicans
would have been beaten in New York if
Roosevelt had not led their ticket If
Black had been renominated the Demo-
Gratis would have had a walk-over. The
canal frauds would have swamped the en-
tire Republican ticket. The small plural

nONDHOLDERs WANT THEIR MON

The European holders of the Spanish
bonds, for which the customs duties of
Cuba and Porto Rico we're pledged. want
their money-at least they want some Sc
curity that their bonds will be paid when
they become due, and that the interest on
them will be provided for. This condition
of affairs presents a new complication for
holders-French, English and Spanish
seem to think that it is the business of this
country to see to 1t that they get their
money. Just where the responsibility of
this country in the matter begins and ends
is not easy to see. 1t may be that the
bondholders think that this country will
guarantee the payment of the principal
and interest TO their bonds. If that is
their view are they not likely to be dis
appointed?
1t is certain that II the President should
favor guaranteeing these bonds or of i'm
posing the burden on Cuba and Porto Rico
of paying them, hiss party would not only
lose the House in the following national
election, but it would lose control of the
government The war in behalf of Cuba
has already cost the people a great deal
more than the value of the benefits they
will derive from it, and it isn't at all like
ly that they will consent to make good
the losses of spectators In Spanish bonds
The holders of the Spanish bonds must
look to Spain for their money. When they

understanding that they were running a
great risk of losing their money. 1t Is
safe to assume that they did not pay as
much for the bonds as they would have
had to pay for them If they had been rated
as first class security. They went into a
speculation in purchasing them, and they
lost. Their effort to make this country or
Cuba or Porto Rico pay them will hardly
be successful. If they think that by in
teresting their respective governments in
their trouble they will stand a better
chance of getting their money they will
discover that they have made a mistake
as far as this country is concerned. The
President has at no time thought il ad-
visable to even consider the question of
assisting the Spanish bondholders in get
ting their money-that IS those of them
who claimed Cuba and Porto Rico as Sc
curity-and it is not likely thai he will do
so now since the Democrats made such
gains in members of Congress in Tuesdays
election. The people of this country have
hurdened themselves all they care to to
free Cuba from the yoke of Spain, and If
any burden is TO be placed on Cuba and
Porto Rico, it should be to reimburse this
country for i,s outlay rather than to pay
the debts contracted by Spain to hold the
islands in subsection.
