DR. CLEVELAND ON DOCTRINE
Ifoii. Grover Cleveland, former Pres
ident of the United States *nd the An
drew Jackson of the decade, has #iven
out an interview to the New York
World and the Atlanta Constitution in
which lie says that the Monroe doctrine
was never intended to protect nations
which happened to be on this hemis-
phere from paying their debts. Such
an idea was never advanced hy Presi
dent Monroe.
.Mr. Cleveland insists that there is a
vast and essential difference between

Today will be a good resolution day
for a great many people. Any old day
will do for breaking them.
Go to Hague, .says President Roose
velt to the powers - and he is right, ft
is not his business to.umpire games of
that sort.
Americas merchants had a great holi
day trade. They had the goods and
the public had the money, and the pro
pensity of the average man and woman
to separate themselves and their coin
did the rest.
Dr. Lorenz, the great Austrian phy
sician, denies that [he has made $ I <>(),-
000 in the United States. He says that
Mr. Armour paid him $00,000, and that
is just about what he would make in the
same time in Austria.
Georgia will not have a display at
the great St. Louis fair. If anything
is dono on this liue it will have to come
from voluntary contributions, as tho
constitution of tho state wisely pro
hibits appropriations for such objects.
Gov. Torrell lias accepted an invita
tion to speak before the Georgia So
ciety of New York city on tho occasion
of tho society’s anniversary in Febru
ary, and will mako tho trip to New
York accompanied by several members
of Jus staff.
Tho Standard Oil Company hns at
last secured control of tho Beaumont
oil Held in Texas and tile Jennings oil
region in Louisiana. There aro only a
few small companies remaining outside
and they cut little figure in the market
ing of fuel oil.
tion of just debts
J o make the Monroe doctrine cover
the latter would be absurd. During
his administration Mr. Cleveland said
that England forcibly collected debts
in Venezuela anil Nicaragua. N'o ac
tion was taken by the American gen
erals save in watching the transac
tion and tendering our good offices to
avoid any warlike collision. Mr.
Cleveland contends that Monroe doc
trine is in danger—first from those
who do not understand it, and, sec
ond, from those who desire to 6xtond
its meaning. It, must not bo applied
to matters not in its legitimate pur
view.
At the same time wo must observe
the effect of any action though seem
ingly remote, which might rosnt in a 1
violation of its pro-visions.
Mr. Cleveland concludes:
‘‘The Monroe doctrine may be aban
doned; wo may forfeit it by taking our
lot with nations that expand by allow
ing un-American ways; we [may out
grow it, as wo seem to bo outgrowing
other things wo onco valued; or it may
forever stand as a guaranty of protec
tion and safety in our enjoyment of
freo institutions, but in no event will
this American principle over be better
defined, better defended, or more
bravely than was done by Mr. Olney in
his dispatch to the British government
in 1895,
“There aro but few of our fellow-
citizens, I hope, who in rotrospect do
not acknowledge the good that has
come to our nation through this epi
sode in our history-. It has established
the Monroe doctrine on lasting founda
tions beforo the oyos of tho world; it
has givon us a hotter place in the re
spect and consideration of the people
of all nations and especially of Great
Britain; it hns again confirmed our
confidence in tho overwhelming preva
lence among our citizens of disinter
ested devotion to American honor;
and, last, but by uo means loast, it has
taught us where to look in the ranks
of our countrymen for tho best patriot
ism.”—Savannah Press.

HUMBERTS IN PRISON.
Arrested
THE FARMERS' TRUST,
Snapping their fingers at tho anti
trust law which is, ami at thohundri ds
of anti trust laws nowon the ealcndais
of Congress or just hatching in the
convolutions of the.statesmen in Wash
ington, tho farmers of the United
States have formed a trust of their own.
The incorporators of this trust, wh,eh
was organized in Indianapolis last
week nud named the American Society
of Equity of North America, set forth
in the papers of incorporation a Ion
list of its objects. Only two of these
objects need be mentioned here:
“1. To obtain profitable prices from
products of the farm, garden and or
chard."
“2. To secure legislatiou in the in
terest of agriculture, horticulture,
stock-raising and gardening.”
Tho Savannah News suggests that
“the members of that Kansas mob
which lynched tho wrong negro the
other day no doubt feel thattlie drinks
are on tUam.”
New Year’s day changes in its ob
servances from time to time, but Christ
mas simply grows bigger in the old-
fashioned way.
in Madrid They Are Con
veyed to Paris.
Paris, Dec. 29.—The members of the
Humbert family, recently arrested in
Madrid in connection with the great
sale frauds in this city, arrived at Or
leans railroad station here at 7:40 a.
ni. There was no demonstration. The
prisoners were conducted to prison.
The arrival of the fugitives was devoid
of sensational incidents as the French
police had chosen an hour for their
arc-turn here when Paris was oniy half
awake. The crowd at the railroad
station was comparatively small, but a
large fore e of police and soldiers
mounted and afoot were drawn up.
Mine. Humbert was dressed in black
and was veiled, hut she was speedily j
recognized by the people. The young !
daughter, Eva, was tho most pathetic l
looking of the women. Mmo. Humbert
was followed 1 by her sister Marie, who
did not show tho bravado she exhib
ited at Madrid, hut was pale and ap
peared disconsolate. Frederick, Mad-
anie Humbert's husband, looked com
pletely broken down. D’Aurignac
and his wife maintained tho calm, de
fiant attitude they had shown through-
out. M. d’Aurlgnac still wore a Span
ish beard which had served him as a
disguise. The party entered the car.
riages in waiting. Police surrounded
the vehicles, which were driven at a
rattling pace to the Conticrrie, where
a minute preparation had been made to
receive the fugitives.
AH classes of society is equally
interested in this case, as the Hum
berts were known everywhere.
Crowds from all parts of the city
were ready to assemble at the station
and give the prisoners a disorderly re.
eeption, but the secretary of police
baffled the plans of tho mobs and per
mitted the Humberts- to he landed si
lently and swiftly inside the gray
walls of the prison. The public hail
doubted the sincerity of the govern
ment in ever bringing back the fugi
tives owing to the political scandals
sure to follow, but tho arrival of tho
prisoners is now generally accepted
as showing the purpose of tho author
ities to siiure no efforts to push the
prosecution and punishment of the ac
cused. The plans at present are not
announced. Owing to the belief ol
tho authorities that Eva Humbert was
an innocent victim of her mothers
observations, they proposed to intrust
her to the custody of her grandmother,
Mme. Gustave Humbert, widow of the
I former minister of justice In the Do-
Freycinet cabinet, hut Mile, Eva pos
itively declined the proposal, declar
ing her purpose to remain with her
mother In prison. Tile attitude of the
girl excites universal sympathy.
