The claimants for the money which Great Britain bullied Nicaragua out of ire being paid off In Jamaica. Britain doe not, at least, hang on to the money he collects for her citizens, as some 9ther countries do. She should not be too prompt in payment, however. Hhe might encourage some of the more en terprising of her people to make a busi ness of going around and making them selves obnoxious to small countries, in order to be expelled and then collect Jamagea. Some people might make quite a good living that way. The mind of children is the tenderest, holiest thing this side of heaven. And is it not to be approached with gentle nesa. with love, yea," with a heart-worship of the God from whom, in almost angel Innocence, It has proceeded? A creature undefiled by the taint of the world, unvexed by its injustice, un wearied by its hollow pleasures; a be ing fresh from the source of light, with something of universal luster in it; if childhood be this, how holy the duty to see that. In its onward growth, it shall be no other! to stand as a watcher at the temple, lest any unclean thing should enter it. When we meet persons who seem to be endowed with goodness, we wait. and if, after waiting, we find iht they are what they seem to be, whether the goodness is native to them, or whether it Is implanted in them by Divine ;r:i(-e if we find that their bent is happl-neas-prodnclug if we find that they are Just the same under trials and tempts. tioos as under other experience we cannot, no matter who we are or what we are, help admiring their character, and feeling its power. It is more than a sermon rit is more than a rebuke, it is more, than anything that comes in the shape of expository truth. All oar public men who have given the subject of forestry careful and in telligent attention are unanimous in the opinion that public opinion should be folly aroused to Its importance. In a letter to the American Forestry As sociation, ex-Senator Edmnnds write: 'The subject of forestry is of immense importance to the future welfare of ail oar countrymen, as well in Vermont as in the arid regions of our coun try.

Engllsh farmers lack enterprise. The plum market this year has been glutted and prices are down to twopence per pound.

A few years ago some Americans, notic ing how much fruit was allowed to waste in seasons of low prices, tried to sell evMrators, such as are used by the thousands In this country. It was found impossible to arouse any Interest art oi'g KnglUli farmers in this subject, and the attempt to Introduce American evaporators for fruit drying was aban doned. This microbe business has gone just about far enough. We are becoming too sficiitlUc. Life has become merely a triii:L'ie to the death with mlcrole bacilli, micrococci and wriggling lili- puts. The medical scientists have made It so. Blessed were our forefathers who lived happily au1 died In Wissfu" ignorance of the revelations of the lu' croscope. They weren't worried b the awful thoiight that the baeiiiui. . tuberculosis lay In wait for them i milk, that tha bacterium tenuo iuf'-s ed their driukliig water and the bad' , Hum anthrax made their beefstea.' deadly.

The Secretary of Agriculture Is ot opinion that "wheat will not 1h here after our cereal product." He says In all probability wheat will remain at relatively low figures for all time to come except when there are failures of the crop in countries which furnish it targe part of the total supply. The great competitors of the I'nited States in the production and sale of wheat are the Areetitine Republic, Australasia, and Rusnla. The capabilities of the last named country as a bread producer are beyond computation. Already American farm Implements and ma chinery are finding large sale in tha empire, and permanently establishe agencies of the great reaping and ot'i er manufacturing concerns of the 1'ni ted States are located at Odessa and other important entrepots to the wheat growing regions. The Argentine Repub lic already Is capable of placing 3.' mil' lon bushels of wheat mt year on th.1 European market, while it has only tire millions of population, and tlie Argen tine wheat fields average less than i hundred miles from deep water ha.--bors. The wheat pays lio appreclnliV Inland freight to reach shipping port -. wflile tlie wheat of the United Stan averages quite a heavy trsnsKirtatio.i charge in reaching the seaboard. Itu . sia likewise has the advantage of a short interior haul and speedy Iran portetion. Mr. Morton says that cor i is constantly advancing lu importance because of an ever growing demaml fer It, growing out of Its new uses, uinl encounters but little competition froi;: other countries. This Indicates a great er demand for export, but it must b-: considered In this connection that Ar gentlne is getting ready to be a heavy competitor with us in the supply of corn to Europe.

The defence Id the Durrant trial is tiearitijr the close of its case. It will probably reach It this week. Ytaterday it made OL-e of its slroiigefct J oints lu the Intro duction at a witness of C. T. Lanahan, the young man who says be visited Adolpb Oppenbeim's pawnshop, and who. It is claimed by the defense, was mistaken for Durrsnt by the pawn broker. Lenehan testified yesterday that be had gone to the pawnsbip and offered a band no; with a chip dia mond, similar to that worn by Blanch Lamoot. He bud a brief conversation aiih the pawnbroker, similar to than said to have been had by Durrani, (lis ring was not accepted and be left the store, going in the same direction as that said to have been taken by Darrant. Lenahan testified that bis visit on the af ternoon of the 5th Inst., Instead of on a morning between . the. 4tb and 10th, as testified by Oppen heim, and be met the pawnbroker at the door, whereas in tbe other case Oppehhetm was seaWd inside tbe tore reading when the customer en tered. Ieuahan waa dressed as bur r u' was ssid to have beu when he Visited there. Another point for the defense was m -de by H. N. Marshall, a reporter, who testified that on the day of the dis covery of Mls Lamont's body Detec tive G bon, who found it, told him that there were f oo' prints of a No. 8 mot) on the top platform on tlie ehnrcb tower, l'lil Gibson line already denied on the sUii'l. Judge Murphy, who presides, Is very cautious iu leaking no itiling jeopar dize the case eliould it go to appeal, aud he yesterday reversed himself on the question ot permitting Dr. Chetiey, whose lecture Durratit Is alleged to have ntu-riued on tiie afternoon of the murder, to n press au opinion as to whether Durrant was at the lecture or not, Dtirrant's counsel asked this question earlier In the case, but an objection to it was sustained. When the lecurer wag on the stand the court made his offer to permit him to give his opinioti. but the defense refused to avail itself ot the opportunity on the ttround that Dr. Cheney bad practically testifii dj that be belltved Durrani to have been :il tbe lecture when ha said be thought tbe roll call was correct. Leonard Everett testi lied as to the time consumed In going over the route traversed by Mrs. Croseti on tbe after noon of April 3, when she said she saw Durrant riding on a car toward tbe Emmanuel church a short time before the murder lu company with a young lady, lits estimate of the time differed from that of Mrs. Crossett by about mix minutes. Writ-oane th- Liberty Hall. Atlanta. (Ja Oct. W. The exposi tiou city yesterday gave the liberty bell the most cordial greeting that the historic mass of metal has ever received. It was literally ar outpouring of people such as has never been wit leased in this town, and it woulo be Impossible to coi.ctive a more notaOie exhibition of patriotism. For fully two ruling the bell triiiii puffed through solid walls oi cheering people. The Atlanta light artillery fired I he presiueuual salute and the lirsl shot was the Bignl for tvery steam whistle in the city to shriek out its discordant welcome. At the city limits Mayor Porter King and a big coninultte,e met the escort Durtv. but there wasno formal rerer.tlrin until' , , the visitors reached the Kimball house, where they are comfortably quartered. There .'.'ayor King said a few wt ris ol velconv-, which were supplemented by ei-Msyor Hemphill and briefly re spond t1 to by Mayor Warick of Phila delphia. I he bell stood for a time in the railroad station, but later was taken to the shops, where it will remain un til this morning. Todays plans are tot a most elaborate parade and a formal reception. Tbe school children and several patriotic orders will be in the denjonstration. There will be music by Uilmore's band, singing by 3,00C school children and speaking by som of Georgia's most eloquent men. Want Than Madly.

A party ot twenty young men of tbe most prominent families of tbis city have left for the field, weil provided with rifles an dmuniUon and a large quantity of provisions and medicines. These young men, who have been working quietly for the revolution here, decided to continue their labors in the field, as they had been informed against by a Spaniard who was working with them at first. Xow that tbe Spanish government has begnn to imprison respectable men In all parts of the island, macy sympa thizers and many wbo are working In the city are leaving to join the ranks of tbe insurgents Id the field, preferring to be there rather than to run the risk of imprisonment. The financial and commercial sttuatiou of Cuba Is grow ing worse every day and the frpanish merchants are ruucli discouraged. There is great enthusiasm, however, among the Cubans. They are very hopeful and they speak of their ulti mate triumph as a certainty, while the Spaniards consider the situation very grave. They plainly see the victories that the rebels have gained over them in the engagements in spite of the claims of tbe official reports, and they are well aware of the sympathy that the American people have for the cause of Cuban independence. The Cubans hope that this sympathy sooner or later will result In strong and opportune help to tbe cause. Those here wbo argued that the Cubans could not be recognized as bel ligerents because they needed to have a regular government acting were, sur prised to learn that a government had been organized and tbe fundamental laws of the republic of Cuba were for mally proclaimed. Official confirma tion of this news has been received here and also that tbe independence of the island of Cuba was solemnly de clared on September 25, at Puerto Principe province. The headquarters of the new government have been estrbllshed in Puerto Principe and a systematic government is to be main tained. On September 28, a Spanish column 4 )0 strong met a party of insurgents, 300 in number within the Lorn a del t.aio. They fougt for an hour, tl a Spaniards losing a lieutenant and twenty-four soldiers killed and eighty three . soldiers wounded. The Insur gents had a sergeant and five men killed and eleven wounded. The Span lards had to abandon their positions on top of Lotna del (into, leaving a quan tity of provisions, which the rebels seized. Hurried Id m lntuot IKouta. Cincinnati, 0 Oct. 10.

This Is the first sign of activity lu the market for the metal for a ytar or so and is due in a measure, so authorities say, to the purchase of Chinese account in connection with war indemnity.
