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 Tritons! aggrandizement and the cel- f Acnsricu OfQ 'Ur<.

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. £ 3 v?

Then there is much other news that is worth of your attention. 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. 50c, 75c, and $1 Dress Goods a138c, Yd.
