A Peace Hymn.

There's a voice across the nation like mighty
 ocean hail. Borne up from out the southward as the seas
 before the gale. Its breath is in the streaming flag and in the flying sail As we go sailing on, Iris voice that we remember ere its summons soothed us now, When it rang in battle challenge, and we an- swered vow with vow, With roar of gun and hiss of sword and crash of prov and prov As We went sailing on. Our hope sank even as We saw the sun sink faint and far. The ship of state went groping through the blinding smoke of war, Through blacl1est midnight lurching, all un- cheered of moon or star, Yet sailing, sailing As one who spalxe the dead awake, with life blood leaping warm, Who walked the troubled waters all unscathed in mortal form, We felt our pilots presence, witti his hand up on the storm, As we went sailing on. voice of passion lulled to peIce, this dawn ing of today o voice of twain now b1ent as one, ye sing all
 fears away, Since foe and foe are friends, and, loi the Lord, as glad as they, He sends us sailing on.

only reasonable to assume that the new Con.

We do not think that it would IN any

not doubted by any Intelligent citizen of

the President should not hesitate to let it

PAYMENT or TIE MORA CLAIM

PA YMBNT or TIE MORA CLAIM
The payment of the Mora indemnity dis
poses Of subject that has been in contro.
versy between Spain and the United States
for quarter of a century. The claim arose
during the Grant administration, while Mr.
Fish was Secretary of State Mora was a
Cuban, but resident of New York and a
naturalized citizen of the United States,
though still owning large sugar plantations
in his native island. In 1869, while visiting
Cuba, he was arrested on the charge of Civ
ing aid TO the insurrectionsts, was sentenced
TO death and his estates confscated He es
capped to this country, however, and laid his
case before the Department of State, and
our minister at Madrid was instruc ted to
protest against such treatment of an Amer,
lean citizen and To demand the restitution
of his property
To this the Spanish government agreed,
In 1879, but it was understood that secret
orders were sent to Cuba to disregard it,
Certainly il was disregarded, and for several
years no satisfaction could be obtained in
any way, Spain continually inventing new
pretexts for delay or laying the blame upon
the local officials, and the revenue from the
estates to the amount of nearly two and
half millions meanwhile going into the
Cuban treasury. Thus the matter dragged
on for thirteen years, until Mr.. Bayard took
Ii and brought Spain to propose cash set
tlemeni, which was accepted. Mora had
claimed three millions, but by this time he
despaired Of getting anything and finally il
was agreed to take a million and half
dollars in qnittance But the money was
not paid any more than the estates had been
restored
There was much correspondence and d.
plomatic representation on the subject dur
ing the ensuing administration, but nothing
came of it except some counter claims from
Spain, for damages to Spanish citizens dur.
ing the war Of 1861 '65, and propositions for
new agreement, which were pending when
the present administration came in
Mr.. Cleveland having agreed to the cash
settlement six years before, insisted that
that should be paid before any fresh ques
tons were considered, and Congress having
sustained this view, he caused the demand
upon Spain to be renewed in so unequvocal
manner as brought the long delay to an
end, and Spain has paid the bill.

just a word to investors and
capitalists, both here and IN the east,
many Of whom the REFLECTOR
reaches carrying the news Of .he COM
munity in which they have invest
ments: Investors who have been
discouraged for two years by reason
Of the slow interest returns can be
certain Of no better fate in their
Kansas investments this year until
later in the season. Reports from
the wheat indicate a light crop. With
out abundant rain the State will
have another year fully equal to that
Of last season for severity Of financial
conditions. The census being COM
pleted shows falling off in nearly
all parts Of the State, compared with
last year. The towns are suffering
most in this respect, and taken in
connection with the loss Of property
by reason Of the depreciation in
values and the setting outside the
towns Of boom additions, makes the
burden Of current expense and taxa
ton serious one in many instances
1t can be safely said, however,
that the State Is on a rock bottom
basis, that there will be no more
booms and that the future will see a
rapid increase in business and pros
perity when crops come to favorable
harvest, Perhaps the most encour-
aging feature is the individual effort
in irrigation by which farmers are
securing their families living from
small patches Of 3 to Z acres while
the remainder Of the farm goes as as
a speculation and to pay off indebted
ness incurred. The recent advance
in meats and wheat has done little to
help the Kansas farmer as he has had
no cattle or hogs or wheat to sell.
The scarcity Of feed has caused all to
cut down their supply to the lowest
notch, and, as a result, they are
this spring In condition not to
dictate terms but to wait for some
thing to grow.
II is the duty Of the investor to
remember this. Hard as it may be
for him to wait, It is harder for the
debtor. He should be merciful and
lenient Kansas turn is coming
again and then no one will have any
regrets because Of investments here.

Mr.. Carlisle's references to tn,
Harrison administrations financia
operations come with very bad
grace from the financial adviser Of al
administration which in two years
has run behind some "a million dol
lars. And 1t has not paid off any
bonded debt, but has added to it
nearly half as much as Harrison paid
of. Had Mr.. Harrison been reelect-
ed there would have been no bonds
issued, no raids on the treasury, no
deficit in the expense account, no
syndicates enriched 8 million dollars.
Had Mr.. Harrison been at the helm
when the gold raiders commenced
operations he would have paid out
silver for their coin certificates and
told them to take it or let it alone as
they pleased. That is the kind Of a
man Harrison is and It Is not Mr..
Cleveland's kind. OF all things the
one particular subject that the Cleve-
land administration should steer
clear Of is a comparison Of its own
with the Harrison administration.
