the value of the instruments from the Chinese indemnity.
 The Neuste Nachrichten says 1t is not sufficient to place the instruments at the disposal of the Chinese, and proposed to offer to transport them back to China and replace them at Germany's expense, on the spots from which they were taken if China is unwilling to do so, and deduct the amount from the indemnity. The Vorwaerts triumphantly exclaims that China intends to leave the illegally acquired goods in Germany as con- tinual remembrance of how. Germany respects international law. and says that l the honor of Germany demands that the instruments be taken back to China. known pillagers have served Germany badly"
 General satisfaction is expressed at the reports that Prince Ching has given as- surances that the Dowager Empress and the Emperor agree as to the necessity for | a change in the Chinese system of gov ernment and that reform edicts will be | enforced upon the return of the court. | Prince Chun, the Chinese special envoy, | and his retinue lived three weeks here | at the expense of Emperor William and the empire Even the excursions were | paid for.
 Regarding the alleged objection of Aus | tria to the German tariff, the Munich Allegemeine Zeitung says it can announce upon reliable authority that neither con- fdential nor official representations have been made on the subject to Berlin
 Cases of insubordination which have occurred on board the German cruiser Gaselle recently have been much venti- lated in the press The secretiveness oi the officials on the subject Is condemned and the natural result is that there has been considerable exaggeration.

The Virtuous Tomato.
New York Post.

NeW | OEk f7OSI.
 The editor of The London Academy must be fond of tomatoes. for he lately offered a prize for the best prose eulogy of that egetable-which is, however, per haps a fruit. The prize was awarded to the following brief panegyric: The eat ing of ripe tomatoes is a pleasure so re- fined and subtle that it seems to be al- most virtue in itself. To like them is a liberal education. For in this fruit s flaming heart there is a taste elusive and delicious, at once vivid and austere. It suggests the brightness of a scarlet flower and the punget freshness of a marsh upon mountain side, To the imagination it cunfounds the clements, and 'is fire and earth and water all in one. have had Tar more respect fer Eve since 1 divined that the pomme d'amour of Paradise was a tomato"

THE GERMAN CAPITAL LIVELY TOPICS OF DISCUSSION
 IN BERLIN. t. Tariff Question and Gaselle Incident are Matters of Great Interest.
 Comment of the Leading
 Newspapers.

Berlin, Oct. 5-The most lively topics of the week here have been the question of the Chinese astronomical instruments taken from Rekin. the reported protest of the Hungarian Premier, Koloman de Szel. against the proposed German tariff, and the cruiser Gaselle incident.
 The North German GaZettee this even- ing says officially that the Gaselle affair has been investigated; that parts of one gun are missing; that threatening let ter was posted ana that ma 1ness acts .ei, were lar with quick firing guns. One sailor is under examination.
 The whole press practically agrees that the sastronomical instruments were illegally carried of Even The Kreul Zeitung criticizes the action of the Ger mans as follows: 'The instruments were manifestly taken unlawfully. The per petrators undoubtedly acted in gooC faith, but that does not settle the affair The least that can be done is to deduct

Good Roads Convention.


 The public roads are usually taken by intelligent observers as about the best indices of the character and prosperity of the people in the region through which they pass. The neglect of their roads is justly considered evidence of poor busi- ness sense and lack of thrift on the part of the population which is most depen- dent upon them.
 One of the most hopeful signs of the scuth's progress is the increased atten- ton to roads and their steady improving condition. The general condition of roads in the South is so much better now than 1t was ten years ago that the transportation of crops in this section to market or railway lines costs now many millions of dollars less than it did before these improvements were made. Every good road is an object lesson | that causes the building of others and
 where real road improvement once be- gins 1t is almost sure to continue. Alabama has done much in road build- ing during the past three years, but she l is woefully behind in the great work and an impetus should be given to the move ment and a good healthy sentiment creat- | ed Now, in order to create and encour- age a sentiment which will lead to wide- spread interest in the building of endur- | ing highways in Alabama, The Dixie Manufacturer proposes that state Con-
 vention be held in Birmingham, or Mont | gomery. and permanent organization be perfected. There Is work to be done for a hundred years The more we progress the more work there will be to do. and | the broader will be the scope.
 We suggest that the Governor of the State, with himself added. appoint two delegates from each Congressional Dis trict and four from the State at large. each Probate Judge, with himself ad- red, appoint five delegates, the President of Farmers Clubs, Commercial Clubs.
