Albion News: Last Monday over on
Plum Creek an alteration occurred
between Isaac DeGraw and N. N.
Spencer over q road across De0raw's
land. 1t finally eliminated in Spencer
firing FIVE shots from revolver at De
Graw none Of which hit him. One shot
took effect in his horses neck. Spencer
claims to have been acting in self
defense. and that De(iraw and his son
armed with club and a hammer we're
attacking him. Spencer has asked to
have the DeGraws placed under bOnds
to keep the peace, and DeGraw has
sworn out complaint against Spencer
charging him with shooting with intent
to kill. Both cases are to he heard
today before Judge Campbell, when
further facts will probably be disclosed.
1t is most unfortunate affair :. 1t was
again demonstrated in court this week
that evidence that would hang q man
for murder, is not sufficient to convict
q man for violating the liquor laws
Laws without strong public sentiment
back of them are useless. We are more
and more convinced that the way to
down the liquor traffic is by moral
rather than legal suasiOn.'

A POPULAR LOAN.

With the possibility OF a war in sight.
the money powers are already discuss
ing a gigantic bond issue, according to
the late dispatches. Saturdays papers
stated that J. Pierpont Morgan had held
q lengthy conference in his Office with
prominent bankers on the situation. and
then made hurried trip to Washington:
1t is true that the government will
need money with which to carry on
war, in the event that war is declared.
but the loan should be negotiated by
and with the people which is the gov
ernment, and not through a syndicate OF
multi-millionaires, bent on bond specn-
lstions TO swell their already bulging
Golfers.
The government would find no trouble
whatever TO float any amount OF bonds
at three per cent, in sums Of $50 each.
J. J. Mitchell, Of the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank. Chicago. says that
$2OO, 100000 issued in that manner
would be readily snapped up at par. be-
cause, he adds, the people would be
influenced by a sentiment of patriotism,
as we'll as by the knowledge that snch
bonds could not fail to he good invest
ments.
G. r. Lewis, a Philadelphia banker,
said that 81, 5,OOO.OOO could he disposed
of in that city.
Isadore Newman, New Orleans, said
S2,OOO,OOO could he fiOated there and
several other prominent bankers OF the
country have expressed like sentiment
1t is undoubtedly the hest and most
feasible plan. Make it a popular loan at
reasonable rate. Let us give the
world a new instance Of government
OF the people, by the people. for the
De0ple."

occupying just 4s minutes. At the
conclusion Of the reading there was .
hum of whispered conversation In the
galleries, but no demonstration, Mr..
Davis Of Minnesota, chairman OF the
foreign relations committee, at once
moved that it be referred to his com.
mittee, and. Mr.. Stewart, taking I'd.
vantage of the opportunity briefly ad-

ing the independence of the Cuban in

message was referred as requested.
Butler a. c., in rising to offer .
resolution, said that it was perfectly
evident that the message just read did
not mean the independence Of Cuba, for
which the patriots of the island had 20
long been struggling. The president,
said he, merely asks as to authorize
him to stop the war in Cuba. That
could not be done until the Spanish
flag was hauled down from tke island
forever. Mr.. Butler then presented his
resolution, which follows:
"Whereas. The destruction Of the
