Tucson, Ariz., March 27. United
States Marshall M-adn has forvarded to
Secretary of Stat-- Bayaivl an account of
the arrest of himself and deputies by
Mexican o'ticials wliilo pursuing the
Southern Paeitic train robbers' on Mexican

robbed. lie summoned a po.-;s j consist
iucr of ten men, among whom were four
Indian trailers. The party Mtbsequenlly
retunvd to Tucson and then followed
the robbers to Mexican territory. Meade
went to Janoo to report to the Mexican
authorities there, and to ask their assis
tance in catching the rubbers, when him
self and party were arrested and their
arms and horses taken. At Hid expira
tion of fourteen days they wore released,
and for the first time wore informed that
their arrest was on Recount of their be
ing an armed posse. The marshal's re

THE HUMANITARIAN STANDPOINT.
Tito liijjMs of Children Our Debts to the
I-itlle Ones A Needed Lesson.
In lUJiIer-taking this work, let us not feel
too complacent, too virtuous, too generous.
To pay our debts is not to be generous.
Children, all children, come into tho world
our creditors, and they remain our creditors
is long as they remain children. Tbo task of
living seventy years in this world of ours is
thrust upon them. That alone makes them
our creditors. What we owe, what society
owes to the children, to all children, is gentle
Bess, tenderness, compassion, protection, nur
ture. Every child born in this world, in my
view of tho matter, has a right to food, cloth
ing, shelter, education, kind words, gentle
courtesies, careful protection.
But what poor paymasters we are. Instead
cf what is due them, how often do they get
blows, cruel words and cimc-1 neglect, I have
seen in New York -400 children from C to 10
years old crowded into an unwholesome gas
lighted, poor ventilated room, and kept at
work twelve hours a day corking and labeling
bottles twelve hours a day, six dayg
a week, and fifty-two weeks in
tho year. But I believe the world's
eyes are opening. We are coming to see that
we owe more to the children than they to us.
Our ambition to get glory pnd honor from
our elescendants rather than our ancestors, is
growing. We are appreciating our debts to
the children more clearly. If children are
ill treated they become cruel. And why
should we bo so shocked at this or that crime
committed? Is it not natural that they should
pay in kind; that they should say we owe
society nothing but just this?
Ill treatment of children i3 something hid
eous. The brute world is not cruel in the
sense in which men are. We need another
word for many of these human passions com
monly called LrutaL When we designate
them as brutal we are unfair to the brute
world. Cruelty, like tho other selflbh pas
sions, is binding. Tho more wo practice it
the less we are aware of it; or if wo cro
dimly aware of it, it no longer seems hid
eous. Cruelty is a universal passion. V'e
are all subject to it at times, for we are all
cowards. It is in the air of the world wo
live in. The selfish struggles of life blind our
eye:?, deaden our sensibilities, benumb us. A
stronger strikes U3 and we strike a weaker.
Our heari3 grow less easily touched. We
harden and petrify. The turn, dirty, de
praved faces of ragged and neglected chil
dren, which wo see to-day, do not startle and
haunt us as they once did. And may it not
be that we need a new lesson even more than
dumb brutes. Willis Gleed in Topeka (Kan.)

Mr. liibtou Turner thinks race had ;i
good deal to do with bese.ry. When joii
take away a man's means of life lie nm-.L
cither starve or rob or beg. The ohlc-t
natives of Creat .Britain were short, dark
people Basques, say some, Esquimaux
say others; the tall, light haired liael beat
them out from almost everywhere, except
part of South Wale... Then the Cyi.iri,
another Celtic people, ccnie jaeross from
the Cimbric Chersonese (Denmark), landed
in Aberdeen, spread over Scot land a.i

skulled Gael had done to the short skulled
people who had preceded him the Saxon
did to the Gael, lie took his tilled land
from him; in thi.se days it was not much,
nine tenths of the Island being forest and
marsh, and he gave him no chance of set

The walnut, is indigenous t Upper
Asia and in the inountaiiions regions of
Persia, is found i.rouing wild. Ir was
known to the Boman e.s Juglans He .
or royal tree of Jupiter. It was inl:o-
iiiced into Italy at the b."r inning of the
Christian or::, and uradually spread over

England many cent uries ago from Era; - e,

on mountain mid in valley, in rock and
barren soil where hardly anything ci-e

moist bottom the English walnut grows
luxuriantly null yields large crops at. a

It is many years f-ince the traveler who
