THOSE MORRO CASTLES.
How There Happened to Re So Many of

How There Happened to Re So Many of
Them in Cuba.
Readers of war news must be struck
BY the number of MORO Castles with
which our forces have to deal. Ha-
vana's fort of that name is the best
known building in Cuba. When Ad-
mlral Sampson went down to Porto Rico
to shake up the Spaniards there the
principal fertilization he had t. deal
with was another MORO castle. And
now comes word # an attack by Ameri-
can warships on a third Moro castle at
Santiago. Cuba, the most important port
in the southeastern part of the island.
Some readers rave probably wondered
how it happened that no such castles
were encountered at Matanzas, Cardenas
and Cienfuegos.
The explanation of the recurrence of
the name "Morro Castle" is found in the
fact that the word "Morro" means
'promontory." Many of the harbors of
Cuba are remarkable landlocked bays

PRICE ON HIS HEAD.
And the Strange Thing About 1t was
His Deing Asked to Pay

A Georgia farmer SO pleased a patent
medicine firm with Nertifcate he had
given as to the merits Of the particular
nostrum that they offered to have his
picture painted, with the certificate, on
the town hall. The farmer was tickled
with the idea, and regularly sat to the
artist until the latter had transferred
his rugged lineaments to the weather
boarding of the most prominent build
ing in town. The picture was full
length, says the Atlanta Constitution.
Shortly afterward cyclone strolled
by, and scattered the town hall to the
four corners of the country. People in
different localities picked up sections of
the farmers portrait, which had been
blown their way. and one man. knowing
how the farmer deplored the disaster.
wrote him as follows: "I'In sorry the
cyclone blowed yer pictur' so far. but

SPAIN AND THE JEWS.

Spain, that country which so cruelty
treated the Jews, burned them alive at
the stake, robbed them and heartlessly
expelled them, young and old, without
discrimination and without mercy, has
since so declined in power and wealth
that Spain now, like an impoverished
individual, has also to call on "the un-
Gle" and pledge her choicest possession
to a Jew for loan of $50, 900, 600. Lord
Rothschild of London, is in this in
stance the uncle who loaned to Spain
$50, 600, 900, taking as a pledge forty
years lease of the Almaden Quicksilver
Mines, the richest mines in the world.
How calling it must have been for
the proud Spaniards to appeal to the
house of Rothschild to make this loan!
And what triumph Rothschild must
have felt to be in the position to loan
to Spain 800, 900, 900 with the same ease
as child buys penny's worth of pea
nuts with the penny her good mother
gave her when going to school.

A MODEST MAN.
Who Many Years Ago Received n Pa
nous Letter from Absa-
ham Lincoln.

There passed away in Massachusetts
one day recently man who was at one
time the firm friend of such men as
Webster, Douglas, Lincoln, who pre-
sided at the famous convention of 1860
which nominated the martyred presi-
dent; who was called to Washington in
the time of the country's greatest need;
whose opinions were sought by men of
influence in whatever crisis faced them,
says the Philadelphia Press
George Ashmun was one of the most
modest of men. When he was chosen
TO preside over the convention of 1860
he consented only on condition that
Gov. Trask would accompany him. He
and Mr.. Trask both went TO Springfield
with the committee TO notify Mr.. Lin
coin and ii was shortly after that that
he received from the president letter
that became famous and which said :
ut seems as if the question whether my
first name is Abraham or Abram will
never be settled; it is Abraham, and if
the letter of acceptance is not yet in
print, If you think fit, have my sigma
ture thereto printed Abraham Lin
coln.'" Daniel Webster once wrote to
him: Whenever anything good comes
into this house we always think of Mr..
Ashmun. A fish came up the Potomac
last evening higher than is usual for
his species to venture. VIII you be so
kind as to join Mr.. and myself at
five O'Clock TODAY to taste him?"

Mineral and Metal Production in

The New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal publishes figures showing
that the value of the mineral and metal
output of the United States for 1897 ex-
ceeded in value that OF all continental
Europe, and was more than twice that
OF the United Kingdom. The most
important item in quantity, value, and
number of persons employed was coal,
the total output being 200, PSI ,243 tons
Iron came second in Importance with
q production of 1852, $50 tons of pig
iron. Gold was the third product in
value, the yield being $59, 21O, 795. as
against $52 1886, 200 in the previous
yea. The fourth in rank of values
WAS copper, which amounted to $40. 100,
7lY pounu-, the greatest quantity ever
recorded and over 80. 600. 900 pounds
more than the yield Of 1896. Tho
United States now produces go per
cent of the copper supply of the wor' d
and exports nearly half of its product.
Petroleum was fifth in value among
our mineral products, amounting to
$44, sO4, 1862. Silver ranked sixth, its
commercial value having been 500, 755 :

Reciprocity.

The announcement that . new COM
mercial convention has been negotiat-
ed with France is welcome one. It
shows that, busy as we are with Spain,
We yet have time for other things, and
that We are proceeding upon the con.
fident calculation that the conclusion
of the war will find US still in ship
shape for all the essential affairs Of
everyday life. It puts . quietus on
talk about foreign Intervention, and
conhrms all previous assertions that,
in the matter of hostilities, we are
dealing with Spain alone.
The principle of reciprocity has .
hearty American indorsemeut. 1t is
the American plan, indeed, for the ju-
dicious enlargement OF trade bounds-
ries. Absolute free-trade has never
vocates in the United States, but freer
trade has for some years been not only
= demand, but q necessity. The growth
of the country in the matter both of
production and consumption has de-
monstrated that If we are to keep up
with the procession and, particularly,
take and hold the place in the process
sion to which we are entitled, We must
establish good commercial relations
With the outside world.
This duty to ourselves is palmer
now tn6n ever. his war Win spain
has shown US our place among the ma
tions. Our movements are considered
of worldwide Importance. The bare
suggestion of permanent American
control of the Philippines forces . re-
cast OF the whole Eastern problem,
with the Uoited States reckoned as
one of the foremost factors in the new
commercial equation.
But, leaving out the question of in
creased territory, the question of in
creased trade still remains. Consum-
ers OF the latest products are rapidly
multiplying. The United States has Q
great deal to offer, and at the Same
time is seeking much. It will con-
tinue to hold the home markets for the
home products, but that will not in
terfere with opening them to many
things upon terms which will induce
other nations to come here to sell and
increase importations very consider
ably.
