The Cubnti Mschrte.
The news from Cuba is full of refer
ences to the machete, which lead* a
render of tho Telegraph to rh>c to this
point of information:
“If you will tel! exactly what a ‘ma
chete'—used by the Oiifbao patriots—J*,
you will oblige a *ub.-<;r>ber. I have nev
er seen a description of It in .print.”
Tho machete may be described as a
combination of bowto knife, butcher's
cleaver,. broad-axu nnd sword, and Is
ucrlmp* |he most effective weapon for
fuelling at close quart era known to ina^i.
bln two hun-1 It haVh broad, ^tralglit -blade atout two
feet long, terminating abruptly instead
of tapering to a point. Its cutting edge
Is usually very gJiarp, but the back of
ilio weapon is brood and very heavy, af-
ler the funhlou of the bowle knife. In
Komo inatanevs tho tock Is weighted
with some heavier metal than steel.
While the machete Is a heavy weapon, it
in usually so. nicely tolanced that it is
easily handled.
It Is not primarily a weapon of war,
but is used as <i necessary agricultural
Implement for tUio cutting of sugar cane,
tlio clearing away of the dense under
brush found In all tropical ami semi-
tropical forests, nnd. has an any other ubom
lu the ordinury doniestlo economy of the
West Indian, Central and South Ameri
can peasantry, .
To the class of Cubans which coin-
prlso the main body of the insurgent
armies, tho machete is as familiar as tho
pocket knife is to the average American,
nud- they arc wx)hdorfully expert in 4t«
nmnagoment, either ns an hnpJement. fur
the farmer, as a tool of the woodsman
or as a fearfully effective weapon of
war. For deadly work in liand-t^hand
fight luff, it 14 the «*iual, If not the 1*11110-
rlor of tlie 'bowle knife, nnd wielded by
an expert, will slice through flesh and
bono n* ea«!ly a* a circular caw eats its
way through a pine log.
If our correspondent will picture to
himself a butcher’s cleaver tho width
of a 14-inch bowle knife and tho length
of 11 tvgiilatle-i army offleer'n sword, ho
will have a fairly accurate Idea of this
fearful weapon.

makes a strong point against the tend

' The woman suffrage movement Is a di

and she proceed* to point to the con

Illinois with the campaign to elect Alt-

say* further:
Socialism has heretofore been exploited In
this country »lnio«t wholly on Its economic
side. The r*iiclu*|on to which its economic

Miss Corbin Is engaged In a good
work. We need to cultivate womanly
women and manly men. The world
does not need rnanly women nor wo

spheres, and uses apart to perform, and
It 1h best to keep within old-time

average. In six your* It rose to 89,200

which Is greater than tho American
crop of »e*a Island by 9,787 bales.
Tho production,of sea Island has In
creased from 25,490, In ISM, to 93,045 in

The Railway Age of Chicago And* that
the amount of new steam railroad traek
Wnri in 1898 approximated 1,802 xnUes, or
Juri one mile less than was hofit In 1895.
New England contributed only thirty
miles, all in Maine and Vermont; while
the remainder is fairiy well distributed
among the section* But the South as a
whole has 550 miles of the new track-
Caltfdniin leads the state* with 186
mile*, with Louisiana next, 154 miles; and
Michigan 145 mile*. No other states raw
over 100 miles laid. The four New Eng
land states not mentioned, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Wy«ra»lng, Nevada, Ida
ho, Arizona and New Mexico had no rail
road extension, and only one mKe was
built in Kausas and five in Iowa.
Since 1887, when the railway building
reached Its maximum of activity, the
record of new mileage built each year
has been as follows

Growth of Southern Export Trade.
The lable showing the increase of the
export trade of Southern ports, tells it*. I?
own story. Some part of this astonishing
growth has been due to the fact that tha
year 1896 has been an extraordinary year
in the sale of our commodities to foreign
ers; but the gair of the Southern trad*
has toon in greater part a diversion of
traffio from Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. The Record hates to sM
a bale of goods or a bushel of wheat 0*?
com that might come to Philadelphia go
elsewhere; bur It recognizes the fact tbit
trade gravitates in tuc direction of the
least impediment, nnd the further ffcctj
that North and South and Ea.s’t and;
West are all one country. The growth/
of business at Southern ports tends to a;,
•more aymmotrlcal development of our na
tional resources. The enterprising busit I
licss men of Southern cities have our oou- j
gratuiatlons.—Philadelphia Record.
