Spain Pays an Old Debt,

Between the years 1919 and 1884
Spanish privateers were more or less
acuve In their depredations upon
American commerce, which was some
what more thriving upon the high seas
in those old days than it has been in
our generation. Ever since that time
our government has been pressing the
claims of American citizens upon Spain
and seeking to get indemnity for the
losses suffered. During the present
week the last chapter in this litigation
has been written and Spain has finally
settled with the sum of $4,000 in full
payment of these old claims. Certain
citizens of our country have more re-
cent claims against Spain for things
that happened in 1898. These claims
were assumed by our government in 1889
and if matters are hustled along with
the same speed as in the earlier IN
stance the cash on these claims VIII
be handed over in the year 1878.
These international claims always
drag along with exasperating slowness,
but probably it is harder to do business
with Spain than with any other coun-
try of Europe. The tomorrow policy
of the Spaniards is proverbial and in
nothing is it more conspicuous than in
the payment of debts. Still, all of
these slow payments are not in the
line of international obligations. The
estate OF Boston merchant who died
in 1856 has just been settled with Il
final payment of s10,356 to the creditors
| or rather TO the great-great- grand
children of the original creditors. In
| view of delays like this why fret if the
| Standard Oil Company is able for a
few months to stave off the payment
of that fine of s29.OOO.O 600, or if you are
unable to get back next week that S.
which your friend borrowed the other
day?

While the Journal has no disposition
to criticize the price received by mayor
Plaisted III his sale of S4O,ooo OF the
four per cent bonds at par and accrued
interest to q Boston banking firm, II Is
inclined to believe that it would nave
been better not to have sold them at
al, until after they had been pubilciy
advertised, and offered to the people OF
Augusta and vicinity. Our citizens GER
tain,y have right to be given the first
opportunity to invest in their home
securities. Possibly they might not
have been willing to have paid as much
as the Boston parties. but this could
only have been ascertained by affording
our local banks and citizens chance
to bid. There has been
good deal of comment upon the matter.
and the general feeling is very strong
that the people Of Augusta should in all
cases be afforded an opportunity to
purchase the bonds of the city before
any attempt is made to dispose OF them
to outside parties.

The Maine Clam.
Oath Independently

1t is rot only the Maine lobster but
thu. Maine clam which is attracting
considerable attention just now from
those who fear that in 4 few years the
Maine clam will become almost extinct.
There is no question but what CLAIMS in
many localities are becoming much
scarcer than ever before and something
should be done to protect them. Our
own kennebec river has had its clam
flats dug over and dug over until the
men, living near its mouth, who used
TO make good money digging clans
have had to practically give up the oc-
cupation because the CLAIMS are So
scarce. 1T does not seem at all feasible
TO pass laws regulating the size OF
CLAIMS allowable to- be dug for it would
take hundreds of wardens to enforce
such law and thousands of bushels o.!
CLAIMS would be spoiled in digging. 1t
seems 20 us more practicable that some
measure be taken to better protect US
from the work of the canneries and
mat close time on certain fats for a
number OF years would be advisable.
The Maine clam is a necessity for US
as long as We expect to hold our own
as summer resort state and before the
clam becomes any more scarce it would
be we'll to adopt some wise legislation
Tor It's better protection.
