A valuable work is being done by the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum in
publishing monographs descriptive Of
natural, political and business condi-
tions in South anu Central American
republics and other countries upon
which American export traders have
fixed the eye of conquest The last
publication of this kind to reach us re-
lates to the republic of Costa Rica and
is replete with up-to-date information
of a most practical character.

Spain's contention that If her sover-
eighty in Cuba isn't followed at once
by some other sovereignty anarchy will
prevail Is adroit but not sincere. An
archy has prevailed in Cuba for the
past three years, and that is why Spain
has to get out. j. is none of Spain's
business what occurs in Cuba after her
own sovereignty over it is terminated.

The words Of the alcade Of Ponce, in
welcoming the formal assertion of
American sovereignty, have an encour-
aging sound. Porto Rico" says he,
has not accepted American dominion
on account of force. She had the mis-
fortune to suffer for many years the
evils of error neglect and persecution;
but she had men who studied the ques-
ton Of government and who saw in
America her redemption and a guar
antec of life. liberty ana justice.
Therefore we came willingly and free
ly hoping hand in hand with the great
est of all republics. to advance in civil
iZation and progress, and to become
part of the republic to which we pledge
our faith forever" The embodiment
of this spirit in conduct will be the
welcome guarantee Of sincerity and a
mutual benefit.

Both journalism and literature sus-
tain a serious loss in the unexpected
death of Harold Frederic. TO both he
contributed keen insight into human
nature, accurate acquaintance with
books and affairs, and a certain per-
sonal quality which enabled him to
present wildly his subject IN few
words without loss of literary polish.
He was a better artist than reporter:
it will be many years before there will
hc a truer portraiture of certain phas~
CS IF American rural life than he has
given in his later novels, notably
Theron Ware; yet IT was as a jour
nalist that he was most widely known

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The CONSOLE
dated returns of the different crop reporting
agencies of the Department of Agriculture
made up to March 1 show the wheat re-
serves in farmers hands on that date to
have been the equivalent of 229 per cent.
of last years crop, or about 1910 900 bu.
This is 100000 bushels in excess Of the
farm reserve reported one year ago, but the
result of the special wheat investigation
made by the department last fall would in
dictate that the crop of 1896 was larger than
the department had reason to believe at
the time. The proportion of crop of 1897
shipped beyond county lines is 50.7 per cent
The corn in farmers hands as estimated ag-
gregates 1888 000,0 900 bushels, or All per cent
of last years crop, as against 1,164. 900 900
bushels, or 51.O per cent, on hand on March
/, 1897, and 1,072, 100000 bushels, or 1913 per
the total crop shipped out of the county
where grown is estimated at ZIG per cent.
or about 412, 900 600 bushels. The proportion
of the total crop merchantable is estimated
at S6S per cent. OF oats there are reported
to be about 272 900 900 bushels, or 1873 per

Mr.. S., a member of the Indiana bar was
in the cavalry service during the war,
and, though a splendid trooper, was not
distinguished for his obsequiousness to men
who happened to have some gilt and tinsel
on their shoulders indicating their official
rank He was thoroughly imbued with
Burns's sentiment that "a mans man for
a that" He fought it out on that line and,
as consequence, came back a high pri-
vate. He had a case which went to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. Going
to Washington, he was admitted to the
bar Of that court on motion of General
Harrison, who was then in the Senate
When motions were called, Mr. S. arose
and moved for writ of certiorari to the
United States Circuit Court for the North
ern district of Illinois. Chief Justice Waite
interposed by saying that counsel ought to
know that the motion must be supported
by affidavit Mr.. S. responded as follows
Now If your Honor will hold on a minute
until L am through, you will know a great
deal more about this case than you do
now. l hope you do not think me such a
fool as to come thousand miles and make
this motion without preparation" He then
took the necessary affidavit from his
pocket. read it and the writ was ordered
The associate justices INDUCED in a quiet
smile at the embarrassment of the chief
Justice.
