MAY YET BE TROUBLE
Over The Philippines.

PARIS, Aug. l6.-The feeling IS gen.
eral here that the United States and
Spain will not be left free by the
powers to decide the question of the
Philippines with no reference of the
matter to other nations. One Paris
newspaper insinuates that as Spain is
in control of the island outside of Ma
Mia that nation must invite foreign
powers to intervene. The Revue Des
Deux Mondes says if America decides
to hold the Philippines all continental
Europe will back Spain. The fact that
England is supporting America will
only intensity continental support.

Weber for divorce, complaining to
the court that she had been married
to the aforesaid Mike for about five
years, but for the last two years he
had been so brutal to her that she
could not stand it any long
err, so she prays the court to
grant her liberty from the
vows of marriage. There is no
doubt that the court will grant the di
vorce as Mike has been before the re-
corder in the last three months to an
swer the charge of assault against his
wife and she appeared in court with
two black eyes and few dozen other
"reminiscences of rough treatment.

Subscriptions to the popular loan
closed several days ago and the
amount called for was subscribed for
something like four times over. This
fact does not necessarily mean that
four times the amount of the issue au-
thorized would have been taken had it
been offered, but that not expecting to
get the exact amount they wanted if
definitely named. subscribers put their
names down for certain amount,
knowing the bonds would be pro rated;
of course the government could easily
have obtained four or five times the
amount called for had it wanted it, but
the over-subscription does not imply
that the over-subscribers would have
taken the amounts they asked for.
The people naturally are pleased with
the success of the loan, as indicating
how excellent is the credit of the gov
eminent. But the loan had a definite
purpose-to raise money for the gov
ernment-and it was a business trans
action pure and simple. 1t was called
a popular loan, chiefly for the purpose
of making it less obnoxious than it
otherwise would have been, for there
was never any necessity for it. 1t was
made popular for the purpose we have
indicated, but in so far as it was a sue
cess in that direction, it was owing
chiefly to the fact that the bonds were
made of such denominations that peo-
pie of small means could put a few
spare dollars into them.
In its essence the affair was purely
business transaction, and should have
been treated as such; but it was not.
The business method would have been
to offer the bonds to the highest bid
der. Had this been done, the govern
ment would have received anywhere
from six to ten millions more than it
did. Already they are at "a premium,
and the premium will increase; and it
will increase all the more rapidly as
the chances for another bond issue di-
minish; fortunately there is very small
chance for such an issue now. OF the
$500, 900, 900 bonds sold, not more than a
twentieth part, if so much, will re-
main in the hands of the people, as
that term is usually understood From
a strictly business point of view the
popular" loan has not been so great a
success as it might have been. There
was quite as much demagoguery in it !
as business.

BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS.

That the Republican party will be
able to make considerable capital out

conclusion. Democrats knew it. and
