Spain against this country. This
clever expedient was, 1t is said, resorted
to by Spain at the suggestion OF John
w. Foster, who was at tina. time at
torney for the Spanish government.
When Mr.. Foster became Secretary of
State under President Harrison, tho
matter was allowed to drag along with
out anything definite being accom-
plished, but under Mr.. Cleveland's Sec
ond administration the payment OF the
claim was vigorously insisted upon by
Secretary Gresham. who while express
ing Willingness on the part OF the
United States to enter into an agree
mens for the settlement OF all pending
claims against this governments, re-
garded the Mora claim IS already set
tied. except that the actual payment Of
the money had not been made. This is
how the matter stands at present, and,
judging by the action OF the sdministra-
ton on other matters. there is not the
slightest chance that the United States
government will recede from 1t.
Spain already has her hands full in
the suppression of the Cuban rebellion,
and II the Mora claim Is not paid
promptly it will be because the Spanish
government Is too poor to furnish the
cash required. At all events, 1t gives
promise of being within short time
matter OF grave concern to both nations
and that Cuban patriots are watching
the course OF the controversy with the
deepest interest, Is no more than could
be expected of them under the sircum
stances, ss war between the United
States and Spain would mean the indie
probable than that, its annexation TO
the American union.

BISHOP TURNER ON AFRICA.

Bishop Turner, Of the African Meth
odIst church, whose home is in Atlanta,
Ca, has recently returned from visit
to Liberia and other places in Africa In
the interest of his church. He is much
pleased with that country as the home
Of his race, and says the two hundred
negroes VINO went from Savannsh in
March last have reached Liberia safely
and were cordially received.
Every heal Of q family was donated
twenty-five acres OF good farming land
by the authorities OF the black republic.
and all OF the emigrants were hopeful
aud contented. He believes that Africa
is the natural home OF the negro, and
he endorses the emigration movement
very highly. Liberia, he says. is @
rich country, and offers peculiar advan-
tages to the black man, who can rise to
any distinction there unhsmpered by
reason of his color.
While a general exodus Of the colore ed
people from the South might not be
desirable just now on account of the
labor problems, there is no doubt that
a gradual emigration Of the negro to
Africa would ultimately prove bless
ing to the whole racs, inasmuch IS
those who went there would find q cli-
mate and soil suited TO their needs,
while the natives of that country would
gradually be brought from savagery to
civilization.
Africa Is wonderful country; but
In many portions of that continent the
climate Is such that Europeans can not
live and thrive. It's development must
therefore depend in large measure on
those of the African race who have ex-
perienced the benefits of civilization,
and as the American negroes have
reaped the greatest advantages in this
respect 1t would seem that they are the
people most needed now on the dark
continent.

SOME OF the goidbug papers have
published articles rejecting on the
private character OF Mr.. Harvey, the
author Of Coins Financial School. We
know nothing about the truth or falsity
of these charges. We cannot see that
this has anything to do with the sound
ness Of Mr.. Harvev's arguments. or the
silver question. There are a great
number of bank officials now In the
different penitentiares OF the cou ntry
who have been sentenced for crimes
committed since 1879. We do not doubt
that nine Of every ten OF these crimi-
nails were in favor of "sound money"
but we are not disposed to think this
q reason for thinking that all The other
bankers in the country who favor
Sound money" are necessarily per-
sonally dishonest. A writer Is in bad
way when he attempts to meet the
arguments of his opponents with per-
sonsl abuse Star.

is not credited by those acquainted
with the character OF Mr.. Cleveland
and his new Secretary of State. There
is, however, reason to believe that the
United States minister at Madrid has
been instructed to press this claim upon
the notice OF the Spanish government,
and in view OF the fact that nothing
has ever been done in the matter, al
though 1t WAS presented during M.
Clevelsnd's first administration, 1t Is
evident that the administration will not

promptly protested and the Spanish
government promised restitution. Sew.

restore the Mora property, but they
were never obeyed. 1t was not until
1886 that the spanish government was
induced, by the vigorous representa-
tions Of Minister Curry, under instruc-
lions from secresery Baysrd, to take
further action In the matter.
An agreement was then reached that
Spain should pay Sl,5OO.oOO In full
satisfaction of the claim. The incident
was thought to be closed and the paw

naming. But Spain, after promising
to settle. pleaded that she could NOT do
