WEAVER AGAINST PARTISANSHIP.
Declares It Is the Enemy Of Good Municipal
Government.

WiIkesbarre, Penn Aug. 10--Mayor Weaver or
Philadelphia in speaking before the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence Union tonight discussed the prob
lens of corruption in municipal government He
smoke of the necessity Of reform, which, he said,
stands almost first in the needs Of the hour
He said in part:
Statesmen and churchmen agree that the State
and society dependent for future health and
welfare upon the right government of commdni-
TO the open and apparent evils.
/ have nc panacea for municipal woes and this
is not the time place for an extensive treat
rnent of the subject. On point. however,
have reached a conclusion based upon recent ex-
perience that l take this occasion to state, and
that is political partisanshtp is the enemy OF
good municipal government
ter and breeding under the folds of the tents of
partsanship. These camp followers of party are.
in fact not partisanS at all-they of no party
and of all parties. They lay their eggs cuckoo
like in the nests of any triumphant party, but
they follow surely in municipal government wher-
ever partisanship rules therein.
| am therefore making a true temperance ad-
dress in pleading for the restraint of partsanship
in municipal matters.
A DISTINGUISHED prince of your church-his emf

publicity is the for evils that aftict the
social body He right and the debt that We
owe TO the public press for throwing the lmelight

of municipal officers cannot be too highly valued.
Publicity non -partisanship. vigilance-ths is the

GERMAN LOAN TO SULTAN
French Papers Stirred by Report of
Bankers Action IN Morocco.

Berlin, Aug. 10.-German banks sharing in a
loan of 50. 900 to the Sultan of Morocco, ac-
cording TO a report circulated on the Boerse
to-day, are Mendelssohn & Co. Bleichroeder &
Co.. the Disconto- -Gesellschaft and the Berlner
Handles s-Gesellschaft.
The loan is regarded as having political as
we'll as financial value for Germany, as it will
increase the interests of the empire in Morocco.
Paris, Aug. 10-The statement that German
bankers have advanced a personal loan of
81, 100000 to the Sultan of Morocco although
not confirmed officially, is arousing indignant
comment, coming after assurances that the
status quo was to remain until the holding of
the international conference It is held that the
legality of the loan is contestable the position
of the Sultan since the last international con-
ference being similar to that of the Khedive of
Egypt Ismail at the period when the powers
interr,ned for the regulation of Egyptian
fnanc-s il. order to check the personal extrava-
gance5 of the Khedive
Meanwhile Germany has not yet replied TO
the last French note regarding the conference.
This delay il is believed. is because Germany
is submitting the French proposals to the SUI
tan before responding to them.
According TO semi official adVi ces the Sultan
is showing a marked opposition 10 the proposed
conference and TO any consideration or Mo-
roccan reforms
