The Mora Claim.

Whether 1t be on account Of the fact
that Mr.. Olney is a new conner to the posi-
ton of secretary of state and there Is a
desire to speculate as to what his future
course as secretary may be, or whether
it be an inspired attempt to overcome the
bad effect of the un-Americanism OF the
administration, nevertheless it Is patent
fact that the Mora claim has been given
an unprecedented amount of airing recent
ly. 1t is possible of course that the Cuban
crisis may have served to attract attention
President Cleveland and his clerk, Mr..
Olney, are as obtuse as ever to the fact
that people are disgustcd with textile
fabric diplomacy. This is the most prob
able assumption. Be that as it may,
just at this time the old Mora claim is
being discussed on all sides and some Of
the editorial opinions of organs supposed
to reflect the sentiments of the admins
tration are limiting that Spain should be
called upon to hand over the indemnity
or else this country should occupy Havana
and collect the bill after the highwayman
style of the British at Corinto. At least
Mr.. Cleveland tacitly approved of this
method of collecting debts so long as
Great Britain was the creditor but it was
not supposed that he had any idea that
anyone other than England should at
tempt such thing, much less the gov
ernment of tho United States.
Antonio Maxine Mora was an Ameri-
can citizen and the owner Of a valuable
sugar plantation in Cuba and this planta
ton the Spanish seized on the ground
that Mora was an insurrectionist. The
claim was for two and half million
dollars but it was compromised in 1886
for one million and half. But this has
not been paid and when the subject has
been preached to Spain there has been
talk ON her part about counter claims
and board of arbitration. AS the
matter had already been compromised
this sort of talk was generally regarded
as an attempt to delay the day of final set
Element Spain now is in very poor finan
cial condition. She has spent millions al
ready on account of the Cuban rebellion
and must spend many more or evacuate
the territory. TO settle the Mora claim
at this juncturc would be hard thing for
her to do but we see no good reason why
after nine years delay she should be
allowed to let 1t run longer Such a de-
mand for immediate payment would
doubtless afford tho Cuba rebels great en-
couragement as well rs cmbarrass the
home government. This is not for US to
consider, however, and even should we
go to the extent of selling Havana which
really is not to be expected of Messrs.
Cleveland and Olney, the case would not
be parallel to the seizure Of Corinto. In
the latter instance there had been no

The speech of Hon. Warner Miller at
the Cleveland convention was one which
desc rved the attention 1t received. He
stated his position to be neither that Of
the gold monometallist nor of the silver
monometallist There are Republicans
who think it folly to hope for bimetallisln,
believing honestly enough that there is
sufficient gold In the world to answer
all the demands and that silver by
reason of the improved facilities for
production can never again be stable
enough to stand along side of gold as q
money metal for any purpose other than
that Of subsidiary coins. There are other
Republicans, but fortunately in the min
GRITTY, who believe that free coinage Of the
two metals on q ratio of 16 to can be
safely attempted by this country alone.

Mayor Strong was criticised severely for
appointing Mr.. Brookfeld commissioner
of public works on account of his extreme
partisanship. Now Mr.. Brooktield comes
out in an interview In which he says
GAN the troubles of the city ajministra-
tion have arisen out of patronage. The
way to solve that problem, in my opin-
ion, is to turn all the offices, or nearly all
Of them, over to the civil service commits
sion. That commission is now made up
Of men who can be thoroughly trusted !;
men who believe in their own theories and
practise their belief, and If they had the
disposal Of the offices, the best available
men would be selected and the mayor
and the heads of departments would be
relieved of the trouble. There are one
hundred thousand Republican voters in
this city Perhaps five or six thousand
want offices, and when they don't get
them they raise cry against the admis
tration. But what do the other ninety
Eve thousand Republicans care who get
the offices, so long as they go to good
men? The great mass of Republicans do
not want offices. They would be willing
to let such q civil service commission as
we have now select public servants. "
Now whether Mr.. Brookteld believes
what he says, such statements from him
are significant and show that he at least
believes public sentiment is tending in
that direction.

payer of this city, 1 wish to ask the
Board of Trustees, as a plain busi-
ness proposition, wouldn't it be a
matter Of economy for US to accept the
contract made with Mr.. Fish-namely, to
furnish us with clear water without one
cent of expense other than we are now
paying, and that for the next twenty
years. rather than pay out, as the Trus-
tees now propose to do, nearly if not
quite one hundred thousand dollars for
pumps TO force into the mains a lot of
nlthy slIcEens that is not tit fer hog to
drink, especially at this time, when the
taxes are something enormous when
compared with other cities on this coast? :?
would like to ask this body of men, who
have the control of our affairs in the hol-
low OF their hands, if in contracting for
these new pumps are they acting for our
best interests? For one, l say, "No.
decidedly not" They are like a lot of
schoolboys who have ''got their dander
up," and will not listen to reason. If
Old Nick himself should offer US a good
supply of clear water, and offer it under
the same conditions that are now offered
us,-I would be in favor of accepting it.
To my thinking, there is something back
OF this pump business that would be we'll
for US to inquire into. Before any con-
tract is entered into IN reference to the
same our citizens should call a mass
meeting, and that soon, and express their
opinion as to the advisability of such a
proposition. ANOTHER TAXPAYER.
