Thc Morn CInIm.

That Mora claim promises to be a source
of a good deal of trouble between this
country and Spain before it is finally
settled. In our dispatches from Madrid,
published yesterday. it was stated that
the Spanish cabinet had decided to pay
the claim without interest. in one in
stallment in September.
The principal of the claim amounts
to Sl.5OOOOo. and it is quite safe to say
in full settlement. Spain will have to
pay the interest from the time when the
claim should have been paid. If Spain
had paid promptly at that time she
would have paid less than the amount
she received from the estates. Up to
Dec. 3. 1877 there had been deposited in
the royal treasury to the credit of the
Mora estates in Cuba, which Spain had
unlawfully conhscated, the sum of ST.
$4,000.
1t was in 1870 that the Mora estates
were confscated. In 1876 Spain ordered
the estates to be restored to their own
er. Afterwards, however, she offered to
pay a lump sum of S1,5OO,OO0 and retain
the estates. This offer was accepted by
our government in 1886. Spain has never
denied that she is bound by the accept
ance of that offer Hence there is no
valid reason why she should not pay
interest on the $1.5OOOOO during the nine
years that have elapsed since the agree
pent was reached. Congress certainly
expected interest when it adopted the
joint resolution at it's last session call
ing on the President to insist upon the
payment. not only the principal, but also
the interest from the time when the
said amount should have been paid, un-
der the aforesaid agreement"
Spain has had the use of this money
for nine years Why should she not be
required to pay for the use of it? She
viii find she will have to pay interest,
and it's childish for the Spanish cabinet
to attempt to avoid its payment

why barber Spared the Snakes Life

When fishing and camping in the wilds
of Cameron county a short time ago, w
c. Mccain of Brookville ran across a
thrilling snake story, says the Punxsu-
tawney Spirit. The incident happened to a
man named Barber of Heating, whom Mr.
Mccain employed to haul his camping out
fit from the railroad station to the camp
in the woods. AS they we're driving along
they stopped at little spring by the road
side to get a drink. They were in 'snaky''
country, and before he stopped down to the
spring, which was thickly surrounded with
weeds and bushes, Mr.. Mccain noticed that
Barber eyed the surroundings pretty close
ly.

NV Great-Great-Grandma.

From the Galveston News.
She hangs within the dim front room,
In frame of dusky gold
And, like a spector from the tomb,
She gazes out upon the gloom,
Serenely calm and bold.
My great great-gra ndma! Long ago
They framed and hung her there,
With well-poised head and cheeks aglow,
And ieweled throat and bodice low,
And gaily powdered hair.
How very quantity is she gowned!
An, those were funny days.
I fancy she was most profound,
Because she follows one around
With such steady gaze.
1 often wonder, could she steal
From out her dusl1y frame
And come among us, would she feel
A pride for old-time ways and veal,
Or modesty and shame?
All, would that she were living yet!
Such stories could she tell!
OF course she danced the minuet
With Washington and Lafayette,
And was a brilliant belle.
They tell me SHE was good as fair
And wise as she was quaint.
So grandpa says-a pride a prayer,
A gem for use as we'll as wear
In short, a perfect saint!
She never smiled behind her fan,
Nor counseled her papa;
Nor wiShed-nor wished herself a man
An. I'm a great deal naughtier than
My great great-grandma!

the messengers have been furnished with

The Morrison suggestion.
From the plttsburg Dispatch qnd.)

The appearance of William r. Morrison
as presidential quantity on the demo-
cratic side will cause some sarcasms on
the scarcity of good timber among the
democrats. Mr. Morrison's long-standing
case of presidential fever has nearly al
ways appealed most strongly to the ma
tonal sense of humor About the one
phase of the present candidacy which
has serious character is. that it comes
in the light of an alternative to Adlai
e. Stevenson. Morrison would be en-
tirely preferable to Stevenson. but if the
democrats are tied down to Illinois poll
ticians for their, choice next year, why
not take that really typical character,

Pierola. the new president of Peru.
has had stormy career. He was in
command Of the Peruvian troops in the
city of Lima when that capital was cap
tured by the Chileans, and afterward de-
clared himself the dictator of the coun-
try. He has held number of offices un-
der his government from time to time,
and during odd times he has been obliged
TO fee the country TO avoid being shot
as traitor. In fact, the place Of his
residence has usually depended upon the
political party in the ascendancy in Peru.
If his friends were in power, he was a

was obliged to dodge for his life. Tho

savnnnah,s Exhibit.

Since Savannah has determined to have
an exhibit at the Atlanta exposition.
everybody should do all possible towards
making it worthy of the city. Savan-
nah is unquestionably the best city in
the state, and she should be represented
at the exposition by the best exhibit
on the grounds. That does not neces-
sarily mean that it should be enormous
in proportions, or that it should cost a
great sum of money. There is in this
city and county the material for an
exceptionally fine and interesting ex-
hibit; one that will illustrate the city
in both business and a social way. This
material intellgently gathered and tact
fully exhibited, will prove attractive to
capital and immigration, and serve to
advertise to the world Savannah's ex-
ceptional advantages as a commercial
city. The time in which the exhibit must
be prepared is somewhat limited, but
it is ample if all of those interested will
put their shoulders to the wheel and
push with a. will. And that, we are
sure, they win do. When the good of
their city is involved. there are no more
public spirited and progressive people
anywhere than the people of Savannah.

The BannocIk Affair.

The report which Agent Teter of the
Fort Hall reservation has made to the
Indian bureau of the recent Bannock trou-
BILE confirms the position in respect to
that matter taken by the Morning News
Immediately after the report was sent
east that the Indians were on the war
path and threatened a wholesale massa-
ere of white settlers The story which
Agent Teter tells is a repetition of an old
story. The aggressors were white men
and the real sufferers were the Indians,
a number of whom were shot to death
without any good reason.
The Indians were hunting game outside
of their reservation. They have a right
to do that under the treaty they have
with the government, and they are obliged
to do it to keep from starving. the gov
eminent not providing them with SUM-
cient rations. There are white men who
make a living by plotting hunting parties
in the region in which the game is found.
They objected to the Indians hunting in
that region, and they planned to keep
them out of it. In carrying out their
Indians. Naturally. the Indians were In
dignant and threatening, but being weak
in numbers they did nothing to avenge
their wrongs.
That is the whole story. 1t now re-
mains to. be seen whether or not the gov
eminent will take steps to have justice
done the Indians. The chances are that
nothing will be done. Those who commit
ted the outrages will not be punished.
No attempt probably will be made to ar
rest them. A great government will quiet
ly submit to having its wards maltreate1
and murdered. That has been the his
tory of the governments dealing with
the Indians in the past and it will con-
tinue TO be probably until the Indians
are exterminated. What wonder is it
that the Indians become exasperated and
ugly! Would civilized men tamely sub
NIT to such treatment? Why, then, should
we expect barbarians to submit to it?
The Talbotton (Ga) New Era shows up
what a terrible and devouring monster
the administrations financial policy is.
That paper says: 1.-THE tax returns show
that there has been falling off of 1926
acres of land, as compared with last year"
The slump in the tax returns Of course, as
we have been repeatedly told by the
silyerite press. is due wholly to the opera
tions of the ADMINISTRATORS financial
policy" hence it is plain that all of these
missing acres have been swallowed by
that policyg The New Era commends the
