GETTING SOLID WITH SPAIN.
Apparently England Wants the Same
Privileges Granted the United States.


Privileges Granted the United States.
Now that the world is at peace and the
prospects for war anywhere seem remote,
the great nations are devoting their ener-
giles to the arrangement of commercial re-
lations with their neighbors. American
ministers to European courts have scored
their greatest victories by inducing the
governments to which they were accredited
to allow the admission of Yankee beef and
pork. The Spanish reciprocity treaty low
cred the price to American consumers of
Cuban sugar, and it was thought that no
other nation would be able to get as favor
able terms from the Madrid government
But it seems that of late Lord Salisbury
has been doing little dckering with Ibe-
rian statesmen, and regarding the report
the New York Tribune says:
"The cable dispatch relative to the
latest commercial convention between
Spain and England is so sweeping in its
phraseology that some doubts may be en-
tertained in regard to its absolute correct
ness. British influence is known to be
potent in Spanish governmental circles;
still, commercial arrangements are nothing
but bargains, discussed and effected &C.
cording to the reciprocal principle which
prevails in international trade affairs as
well as in diplomacy. 1t is not usual that
nation grants commercial privileges
without receiving something in exchange.
No matter how well disposed the cabinet
of Canovas del Castillo may be toward the
ministry of Lord Salisbury, it is difficult
to believe that, as the dispatch says, Eng
land has obtained the minimum tariff on
British goods imported into Spain and her
colonies without granting any concessions
in return The obtaining of the minimum
tariff constitutes a great privilege, for the
maximum tariff recently adopted in Spain
is really prohibitive.
THE Madrid government has wisely un.
derstood that the best policy is to make
arrangements with other European nations
on the basis of the minimum tariff; and it
has readily accepted the propositions made
by France to that effect But the conces-
sions have been mutual and not one sided.
France has granted many advantages to
Spain, even though the modus vivendi did
not provide that French exporters might
claim the same privileged treatment grant
ed American exporters to the Spanish
West Indies. The French press is just
now divided on this question. one part
pretending and the other denying that the
late arrangement extended not only to the
trade with the peninsula, but also to that
with it's colonies 1t would be strange
that England should have received, with
out herself making any concessions, the
large privilege mentioned in the cable dis
patch. At any rate if the dispatch is cor
rect and if Great Britain can trade with
Cuba and the Spanish colonies on the basis
of the minimum tariff this does not give
her the privileges secured to the United
States by the reciprocity treaty signed by
President Harrison"

Huge Swedish Coins.

Gustavus Steinberg, western coin
dealer, recently received a collection of ex-
ceedinely curious coins, which it is pro-
posed to exhibit at the Worlds fair. They
came from Sweden, where they circulated
in the Sixteenth century. They bear more
resemblance to pieces of boiler iron after
an explosion than money. The coins are
great fat pieces of copper cut into very
poor squares The smallest is four inches
square and worth thirty cents, and the
largest over a foot square and with face
value of four dollars.
Each slab is stamped in several places
with an inscription giving its date of issue
and its denomination. The largest weighs
over four pounds.
These enormous and cumbersome coins,
saws the Columbus (O.) Sun, were the re-
suit of an absurd craze which prevailed
several hundred years ago regarding the
exclusive use of copper for money. 1t car
ried the coinage of copper to absurd
lengths, and the people discarded its use.
In those days of copper coinage wealthy
ladies were compelled to hire an attendant
TO accompany them to carry bucketful
of the coppers while shopping. The Suns
statement regarding the origin of these
coins differs somewhat from that which
has heref 1fore been current among numis
matists and is therefore interesting

The Bell Trade Completed.

When Mr.. F. A. ODER, the commissioner
of the Latin American department Of the
Worlds Columbian exposition to the West
Indies, was in Santo Domingo during the
past year he was presented with an ancient
bell of the time of Columbus, which had
been used in the chapel of the shrine of
Santo Cerro in that island. This was given
by the capellan of the sanctuary of Santo
Cerro on condition that a new bell be sent
in its place. This was done, and through
the courtesy of Mr.. Thomas Mcclellan,
superintendent of the SANTANA and Santi-
ago railroad, it was carried to Santo Cerro,
whence it was borne on mems shoulders to
the Holy hill and presented to the shrine
of the Virgin of Santo Cerro. There was
great rejoicing, and the country people
f,ocked from all parts of the Vega. The
gran function" on the occasion of the dedi-
cation of the new bell, would have been of
much interest, but the rains made the
roads impossible. The bell was hung in
the old tower on the very spot where
Columbus once stood and viewed the val.
ley 400 years ago, and now sends out its
clear tones over the interior hills of Santc

A Popular Bore.

They tell this story in the London clubs
of Vernon Harcourt, the "Historicus" OF
the London Times:
Four gentlemen met at the club ono
evening when the conversation turned u
the subject of bores. Each one of the four
declared that he knew the most disagree
able man in the world. The dispute be.
coming animated, it was agreed that the
four bores should be brought together at
dinner.
1--WE shall dine at the Star and Garter
next Thursday" said one. land there each
man is to bring his own particular bore,
so that we can see him and compare him
with our own"
The day and the hour arrived and three
carriages, each having but one occupant,
drove up to the door of the famous inn.
Three of the four gentlemen had been
disappointed in their man by previous en-
gagement.
At length the fourth carriage appeared
and out of it stepped Harcourt
The three men who had preceded looked
at each other in surprise, then all ex'
claimed, by Georgel here comes my bore"'
The four had hit on one man. Harcourt
was not let into the secret, and II he had
been his conceit was such that he would
have regarded it as practical joke.

Rules for Old People.

Science has demonstrated, as the deduc-
tion from many hundred observations
that old people should avoid high alti-
tudes and that abundant sunshine is their
best medicine. As to sea voyage, they
gain or lose by it much like others. 1t is
obvious that the failing vitality-that is,
the impaired vigor of circulation, assimi-
lation and exertion which characterize adj
vanced years, and the spinal maladies most
frequent at that time of life, such as rheu-
matism, cardiac disease, govt and renal
affections-serve to determine the climatic
logical problem, and thus, in a word, mod
crate warmth, with fair equability, alum
dance of sunshine, with adequate shelter
and level walks, evidently meet the most
obvious indications called for by these af-
fections. The unsuitability of the noun
tain climates to the aged is due primarily
to the cold, which depresses those in whom
the circulation is feeble.

Allan Smith was a powerful swimmer
and he did not lose consciousness when he
struck the water. When he did lose it, or
what followed his wild swim and what
seemed like death in the darkness, he never
could tell.
When he came to he was under the trees
near Jackson's ranch. A fire burned near
him. He was lying on blankets and Sol
Hemphill and a neighbor were standing
near. There was a soft hand on his fore
head, and looking up he saw Lucy Hemp
hills beautiful face bending over him.
Sol Hemphill explained how about 2
o'clock the night before his daughter cried
out in her sleep that there was danger to
Allan Smith in jackson valley. She
dressed and insisted that her father should
saddle two horses and carry along blank
cts and provisions, and she further insist
ed on going with him. At daylight they
reached the valley and found what seemed
to be the dead body of Allan clinging to a
log when the flood had gone down. They
soon found there was life in him.
AS soon as Allan could speak he asked
about his companions. That afternoon
Sim jerks and Dick Gross, both badly
wounded, were brought down to the tenn
porary camp, and the next day all were
taken over to Hemphills.
Two years afterward Allan Smith, on re-
turning from a summer hunt in the noun
tains, said to his wife, as he exhibited the
articles:

Australia is rapidly coming to the front

lied many of the reforms still looked upon
as purely ideal in England and the United
States. The control of telegraphs, prisons,
schools, hospitals, etc., is in the general

satisfaction. The problems of municipal
government appear to have been solved.
Taking it generally, Australia is doing
many things which will be of immense
value to other nations as object lessons.

General Prescott and took him into the
American lines.
As the constitution of Indiana does not
allow two consecutive terms to governor,
Mr. Chase can come in only because he
succeeded to the chair on the death of
Governor Hovey. He had been elected
lieutenant governor in 1888, his nomination
by the Republicans having been made
avowedly on the ground that he was strong
with the religious element, especially the
members of his own church. 1t will be
remembered that Oliver P. Morton was
only elected lieutenant governor in 1860 and
became governor in January, 1861, when his
superior, Henry S. Lane. was elected to the
United States senate.
Governor Chase was born in Monroe
county, n, Y, 1884; in 1855 he moved west
and after various changes located in Indi-
ana. In 1859 he married Miss Castle, a
teacher, of Palatine, Ills. After serving
one year in the Union army he located in
Hendricks county, Ind, which has since
been his home. In 1856 he was candidate
for congress against Colonel c. c. Matson,
and though the ordinary Democratic ma
iority there is 1900, Colonel Matson had
but 800 that year.
Governor Chase has had rather poor
health during large part of his life, but
has always been man of great activity.
AS preacher he has filled several charges
in Indiana and Illinois, and has long been
prominent in state evangelical work.
