: 1 ' V MAGOON IS OPTIMISTIC i New Provisional Governor of Cuba Anticipates Early Peace Among the Islanders. A special from Havana says: Chas. ?3. Magoon's first day as governor of Cuba, which began Sunday, passed busily but quietly. The palace was singularly still, compared with the eventful days of the past regime. Governor Magoon said that he was looking forward with confidence to a peaceful administration for the work accomplished by Messrs. Taft and Bacon, both in the pacification of the island and laying the foundation for a smooth and. successful system of provisional government. The governor sees no' reason to anticipate further sudden changes in the situation or - any specially sensational incident; he is rather of the opinion that now governmental matters will be of the common place order compared to the exciting and rapid succession of developments of the past two months. Governor Magoon has announced his decision to postpone the appointment of cabinet officers indefinitely, ,IIis intention is to consider thoroughly the conditions and needs of each department, and this can be better , accomplished at the outset by having - the subordinate- heads report direct to himself. By this method the governor thinks he will be better enabled to select, the ministers best fitted for the respective posts. Asked whether he was likely to permit partisan political expediency to influence cabinet or other appointments, the governor replied that such cop* siderations might rule to some extent, since it certainly would be impossible to appoint to high offices men to whom a considerable portion of the people was opposed. Efficiency and suitability, however, would be the r main consideration. | There will be kept a strict account. tng of the expenses incurred by the '/ American army of occupation as are \- {' chargeable to Cuba. These will in, elude only such expenses as would not have been incurred but for the com ing of the troops to the island. g'p CLASH OVER COTTEN SEED. v* Oil Mills and Planters Cannot Agree as to Prices. I The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "The present situation in regard ? tc cotton seed, the most perishable of "7 all our perishable crops is without <? parrallel in the history of southern t agriculture and manufactures. "At the lowest calculation 1,00.0,000 tens of cotton seed which have al\ ready been ginned or are to be gin. ned within the next thirty days have been so damaged from the excess of * moisture, germination of the seed in . the open bolL and frost ,that* no one can even approximately place a valuation on these million tons. h. I "The impossibility of naming a fair price for this damaged seed seems likely to increase discord between ~ - planters and oil mills, leading to the j throwing- away of enormous quantities V of the seed on the cne hand and on | > . Sthe other to the purchase of large ^ ;... . quantities by mill managers at prices which mean ruin to their companies. "One solution for' the situation is v ~ to have some banker or merchant in the town where cotton seed are sold to open negotiations between the mill and the planters and arrange a basis ' whereby the planter may receive a small cash payment per ton on account and the balance when the seed are made into products and sold."

An authority on tho derivation of words says that "blackmail" as used by Coke and Blackstone had an innocent significance meaning simply rent paid in labor or produce instead of j in money, rent paid in "white money" j (silver) being known as "white mail." The word "mail," meaning rent, comes from the Anglo Saxon "mael," a portion or possibly from the old French "'maille," a halfpenny. In the days .before England and Scotland were united the freebooters used to make frequent raids on the farmers living j along the border and the money paid j to secure immunity. from these raids j came to t>e known as "blackmail."! Once established in that sense it is j easy to see how the wcrld came to be j used to designate money paid to se-j cure immunity from a raid on one's oputticn.?The Suburbanite.
