Commerce of Cuba.

In the eight months ended August 31, 1900, the imports of Cuba amounted in value to $4S,9OS,SO1. Of these i'm ports $19,606,712 came from European countries, and from the United States S22,425,375, the balance coming from Mexico South America and other countries.
 The exports in the same period foot up $37 ,596, ,405, thus making Cuba a debtor country to the extent of about S15,O00,000 a year. The goods sent to European countries were valued at S9,529,445; to the United States, at s26,945, 112, and the balance was sent to long list of countries.
 These figures indicate that Cuba's total trade in 1900 will stand, in i'm ports. at about $64,OOO,OOO; in exports, at about $49 100000. Of these aggre- gates about $30,0O0,000 in value of goods will be drawn from this country, and we will receive in return about $35, 100000 in goods.
 These figures go to show that we have a good customer in Cuba, and that we cannot afford to let the island drift into bad government and the -Nplague of revolutions. Not word has yet been said as to the nature of the tariff that will exist between Cuba and this country, but as Cuba is at least as much interested in favorable duties as we are it is probable nc great hitch in negotiations wlu occur on this account.

policy of beneficence causes people to forget thef selhshness of the Astors and Vanderbilts, who not only give nothing to the public from whom their wealth was derived, but who endeavor to establish promogeniture in this country by over enriching one son to stand as the representative and power of the family. Their entire policy is un-American. These two families give but little, and the Rev. Dr. Rainsford says that 95 per cent of New York's millionaires give nothing. Dr. Rains ford is in a position to know the truth in this matter. J. Pierpont Morgan is a member of his congregation. The gift of MT. Carnegie sets the pace, and it will put the 95 per cent. before the bar of public opinion, and compel them to answer very searching ques- tions. Their selflshness and com placency need such an example.

HOW PRIVATE" ALLEN
 WAS KNOCKED OUT

.'The retirement from Congress of 'Pri- vate' John Allen q Mississippi. says the New Yorker, lis universally regretted. This gentleman, who has, during the past dozen years, added so much mirth to our national life, should have been sent to the Senate. I have frequently wondered why Mississippi preferred an unknown mante one so distinguished as MT. Allen. The raason of MT. Aliens defeat for election toi the Senate was explained to me the other day by Judge Joseph J. Willett of Alabama.
 ''It appears MT. Russell the president of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, was the innocent cause of 1t. President Russell is an intimatoe friend of the famous Mississippian, and when Allen was msk- ing his campaign for the Senate MT. Rus sell took MT. Allen through the State upon private car, which was we'll stock ed with the finest wines and cigars. Each night, after Mr. Allen finished speaking at public meetings, he repaired to the luxurious private car anu joined Presi- dent Russell and other genial spirits at a. champagne supper. The opponent of MT. Allen only drank corn whisky, as did the average voter. Finally the chief issue was champaigne vs whisky. The wine drinkers were in a great minority as the vote for John Allen showed.
 MT. Allen, who is well known to New Yorkers is frequent visitor here''

Where Is the Yancey Flag?

"Vhere is the famous flag which Yam cey, acting in behalf of the women oi Montgomery, presented to the Alabama secession convention in 1861, and which was accepted in the name of the conven- ton by Alpheus Baker of Barbour, after wards a brigadier general of the Con- federacy? What became af the famous flag which called forth from Baker the most memorable speech perhaps ever de- livered in Alabama? Where is 1t now?'
 These questions were asked yesterday by a man who was a delegate in the se- cession convention, and the answers to them would be of great interest to all Alabamians and to historians every where.
 The flag, as described by an eye witness of its presentation in the hall of the House of Representatives in the State capitol forty years ago, was made of richest silk, wrought by the hands of fair women of Montgomery In the cen Ire was a reproduction of the great seal of Alabama, and on one side was cot ton-stalk and on theother a rattlesnake, all worked with wonderful skill.
 Readers of this gossip of the Age-Her- aid, from day to day appearing-and that means all Alabamaians who care to keep closely in touch with Alabama affairs will recall the recent statement of scene of two score years ago, that the women of Montgomery-the narrator used the plural of the now obsolete and meaningless title lady-placed the flag in the hands of Yancey, who strode down the central aisle of the hall waving the flag and calling to the President of the convention, the late Judge William M. Brooks of Birmingham, then citizen of Dallas County. Yancey spoke words of passionate burning, and presented the flag. President Brooks arose from the chair, and asked Delegate Alpheus Baker to make the speech of acceptance. The eloquence that then flowed from the lips
