The Philippine debt, which the COM
missloners on the part of Spain will de-
sire the United States to assume, just as
they insisted ON 1t assuming the Cuban
debt in the event OF the cesston Of the
PhilIpplns. was not all contracted. nor
was the money used for public improve
ments. and by no international law
could this country be compelled to as
sumo 1t. 1t Is, therefore, not at all IKE
ly that our commissioners viii deal tav-
orably with the Spanish demand.
A published statement of the origin of
the debt shows that the loan was placed
mainly in Spain, and that 1t was used
principally to pay the expense Of the
struggle with the insurrectlonists In the
Philippines, and portion Of 1t was used
In Cuba. The obligation being contract
ed to maintain Spanish rule mainly, the
United States, except as voluntary act,
would not be justified in yielding to the
Spanish demands, nor Is II Obliged to
even consider the matter. The Philip
pine debt matter is, therefore, on the
same plane, virtually, as that of Cuba,
and win doubtless be treated in the same
manner by the United States. A situa-
ton might arise which would induce the
American commissioners to consider the
Spanish proposition to the extent Of
compelling the commissioners Of Spain
to prove by records that the loan was
used for public works, and other objects
outside of the matntafnment Of Spanish
rule In the Orient Since the loan was
only issued last year, 1t Is not beyond
the bounds of possibility that the money.
or a portion of 1t, was used in the de-
fence of Manila against the United
States forces.

The Degenerate Democracy,

The appointment of "coIn' Harvey, as
tine general manager uf the Demo
cratic party for the campaign OF 1900,
has excited a great deal of comment, not
all OF which Is entirely Aattering TO the
wisdom Of the members Of the national
committee responsible for the appoint
ment. Some of the papers, and not all
OF them are Republican journals, are
ridicullng the action as the climax Of oil
the absurditics that the national Demo
cratic management has been guilty Of.
Harvey IS TO be chairman OF the ways
and means committee" OF the rational
organization, much to the disgust Of
some Of the ablest members of the party,
and Chairman Jones is getting It right
and feft for his hand In the selection.
The point against the author of Coin"
IS that he docs not command the amount
Of respect Of the country necessary for
one to MI such a position.

M. p.mand Lhe Philipptnet.

The American commissioners having
presented to the Spanish peace ENJOYS
the purpose Of the United States to take
the enire Philippine group, all specula-
lions on this phase of the American de-
nands are at an end. 1t only remains
for the Spanish commission to give a
definite reply. 1t IS not probable that
this win be done without haggIIng and
delay, as in the case OF the Cuban debt
matter.
what the outcome win be it is impos-
slble to say, but without Doubt what
ever the ultimate purpose Of the United
states Is, regarding the future control
Of the philippines, whether 1t will per-
manently retain the entire group. or
make an arrangement to dispose OF a
portion to other countries, certain 1t is
that Spanish sovereignty will cease.
As to the Philippine debt, the view
taken by the IntellIgencer in another
article in these columns, that this coun-
Try will assume no debt contracted for
war purposes, or in the suppression Of
she iusurrecdon in the Philippines, is
confirmed by the dispatches. The only
debt that would possibly be assumed
would be one contracted for internal Inn
provements OF permanent nature.
The demand of the United States
opens the most interesting phase Of the
peace negotiations, and will absorb the
attention Of two continents until set

Fourth squadron of the Fifteenth uhlan
regiment of the German army uutit re-

overseeing the kitchen OF the regiment.
one evening not long ago he was sent to
receive the supplies, and while he was
away the soldiers in charge. of the kit
chen abused his confidence by making
a rancid, bitter dish for the liable OF the
superior officer. This was the COM
mandant, Count Holberg- Wernigerode,
and when the dish was placed before
him he was furious and laid the blame
on Scheinhardt. The latter replied that
he could not be responsible for a service
ne had ordered another to perform. But
the count was too angry to be just, and
he heaped the .Yilest abuse on the I'M
der officer.
f. II do not observe these eplthets," said
he, and at that the commandment gave
him a box on the ear.
"You see," said Scheiuhardt to his
colleagues, "the commandant has struck
mel"
This enraged the commandant more
than ever, and he seized his sword and
struck ScheInhardt in the leg and side.
The man fell to the ground, and was
taken to the military hospital ut Hag-
enaut, where he died shortly after. The
comnandant was Immediately arrest

a member Of the nobility It Will be sur

From Ludwigsburg comes news Of

having thrown him down and 6rutallV

From all over Germany comes news

tomary in the matter OF oficial reports,
and was generally published throughout

Probably this was mistaken by the Reg

did.
II our contemporary Is In the business
OF giving the news about our state af-
fairs, why doesn't It let It's constituency
know the condition of state finances? A
partisan statement of figures taken from
the state records, and manipulated for
the purpose of misrepreserting facts,
pending an election, is not what fair
minded readers, who are interested as
tar payers, desire. They want the
treasurer's official report Of the condl-
ton of the treasury, which shows that 1t
contains more than million dollars,
that no debts or deficiencies exist, and
that, compared with previous reports by
Democratic treasurers, the showing is
decidedly favorable to the present adj
ministratlon. This they will not be per-
mltted to read in the Register until after
the election. although they are tax
payers and want, to know the condition
OF the treasury of tfteir state, which they
are taxed to support, as compared with
Its condition when the last biennial re-
port was made.

Judging from the manner in which the
Register commented on garbled extracts
from Senator Elldns speech in a dozen
separate editorial paragraphs, somebody
must have felt the force OF his remarks.
No speech cuuld be delivered which
could cover more completely and more
Complementary every question of pub
lie Importance in connection with the
campaign, and yet the Register says in
one paragraph that the senator is very
shy OF the issues this year" This Is the
fret admission of the Register that there
are issues. Perhaps the Register will
consent to publish Mr.. EllsIns' entire
speech and point out the shyness.
