THE PARIS COMMISSION.
It does not yet appear just what
Spam will hold out for in the treaty
deliberations about to begin in Paris.
Humors from Madrid indicate that at
the outset the Spanish commissioners
will contend for continued sover
eiomtv over the Philippines and for
o w
certain conditions regarding the Cu
ban debt. It is natural that the Span
ish representatives should propose-
larger concessions than they expect
to get. The chief Spanish desire, and
the same purpose was manifested
throughout the war, is to introduce
European complications. No one
doubts that certain nations of Europe
would be glad to secure a footing at
the Philippines, and nothing would
be more grateful to Sranish diplo
macy than to use this feeling to our
disadvantage. As for the Cuban
debt, a large number of European in
vestors hope that it will not be a
total loss and that at least a partial
-nrovision for it wi'l be made in the
treaty. Some pressure from this
source will be exercised chiefly nt
Madrid, and may have considerable
influence there. A debt also hangs
over the Philippines, and Spain will
make the most of it if compelled to
give up all or a part of the group.
The Eastern possessions are evident
ly the main Spanish reliance for sav
ing something from the wreck.
A moment's thought is enough to
show that further Spanish sovereignty
in the Philippines is impossible. The
insurgents would at once take posses
sion if the United States withdrew.
Aguinaldo and his followers would be
irrepressible. They have arms and
are now experienced soldiers. Sover
eignty for Spam would be continued
war conducted at great expense. A
strong navy for distant service would
be necessary. Taking into view the
financial condition of Spain, the only
reasonable view is that the Philip
pines would be sold to a European
power. This fact reduces the situa
tion at the Philippines to a financial
footing of some kind, and probably
the question will speedily take this
form at Paris. France would be a
preferred bidder, and so would Ger
many. But no door is open by which
they can enter. This country .Is
treating with Spain alone and as
sumes throughout that the latter is a
conquered nation. We shall retain
a primiry hold on the whole of the
Philippines, and upon that basis Spain
must make the best bargain it can,
dealing with us exclusively.
The Cuban debt is such an enoim
ity that it can have but little stand
ing even for discussion. In 1886 the
first Cuban bonds were issued to the
extent of 124,000,000, at C per cent
interest.' They-were guaranteed by
a lien on Cuban customs, by all the
revenues of the island, and, Onally,
by the Spanish treasury. In 1890
bonds amounting to 175,000,000, at
5 per cent, with similar guarantees,
were sold. Nearly the whole amount,
or $290,000,000, is outstanding.
These bonds are the result in part of
the former insurrection, thouah an
tedating the last revolt by from five
to nine years. During the last strug
gle with insurgents $160,000,000
more "Cuban bonds" were disposed
of, forming a total of $450,000,000.
The third loan was maJe a lien on
Spanish customs also. On January 1st
last there was a floating Cuban debt
of $75,000,000. It would take near
ly $600,000,000 to clear off the debt
Spain has piled up against Cuba. A
dispatch from Madrid says the Span
ish government will undertake to
carry out the guarantees of the Cu
ban debt only until the island itselt
is in a position to assume the obliga
tions. . That time will never come.
The debt i8 so huge that it proclaim3
its own absurdity as a burden for the
Cuban people.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, bat there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole syetem, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures
constipation, headache, fainting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at

Deafness CannoC te Cared
by local applications, as they, cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, aud when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: niue cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
