MANS 0RIGIN.-There are two opposing
theories prevalent concerning the cause OF
mans progress In society. One is, that man

had progressed from barbarism to cirliiza-
ton BY faculty alone. The rival theory,
whilst 1t does not deny progressive improve
ment afiirms that there are facts il the case
which neither OF these circumstances vii re-
solve or explain, and therefore maintains that
some external communication has been at
some time given or made 10 mankind Orief-
mating or aiding his derelopement, and that
barbarism Is degenerate and not normal
condition ofhumanity. The latter point was
ably enforced by Archbishop WhaielY n his
Essay on Civilization" Archbishop What
ely's arguments, although attacked BY various
opponents, most recently By Sir John Lub-
book, still remain firm and unshaken. We
may grant to Sir John all his iacts and apply
to them successfully the Archbisnop's hv-
pothesis; while they are admitted facts In
the case which Sir Johns hypothesis will not
explain. The mere multiplication OF such
facts as those collected BY Sir John Lubbock
adds nothing to the evidence In the point At
issue. "The important question:" says
Humbolt, "has not yet been resolved. vhefh-
er the savage state, which even in America
Is found In various grndations, Is TO be
looked upon as the dawuing Of q society
about to rise, or whether IL Is not the rather
fading remains Of one sinking amidst storms.

To me the latter seems to be nearer the truth
than the former.n Max Muller says: sAs far
as we can trace back the footsteps Of man.
even on the lowest strata Of histofy. we see
that the Divine gift Of a sound and sober In
teilect belonged to him from the very frst
and the idea Of humanity emerging SLOWLY
from the depths Of animal brutality win new

pressed his conviction that all savages ara
the degenerated remains Of more cirillzef
races who have been overpowered b enc
mics and driven TO seek safety In woods ard
vase places till they bad forgotten most II
the arts Of settled life, and gradually surx
into the state in which they are how found.
The learned researches Of Prof RaBifnson
all lead 10 the same conclusion. We know
that, within certain limits, sayagts are easss-
bic of some improvement, as might Be sH-
pected where reason is added 10 instinct.
But we hold that the theory Of man having
raised himself, by spontaneous and prggres-
sive Development, from 4 primitive state.
and from yet lower forms OF organic life. Is
not supported by proof The theory Of DI-
vine interposition Is the true scientific eg-
planation. inasmneh as II alone meets ali the

Suffrage Amendment.

Many Of the leading Republican journals of
Connecticut oppose the Senate proposition for
Il Constitutional Amendment, because II abOl-
ishcs educational suffrage qualifications. This
it is not difficult to understand, when we reflect
how much the State has suffered from the
hordcs of ignorant foreigners that out voted
her native sons 4 the interests and policy that
have brought her such prominence and dstinc-
tion among the family of States To meet
this the educational qualification was adopted
and to vote man must be able TO read The
Constitution. The result was good. Demo-
cratic School were started in various parts of
the State 10 teach the Cclt and Teuton to read
comforting upon them, perhaps, greater bless
ing even than that Of voting But the war and
emancipation brought us many loyal citi-
ly for her liberties and TO deprive these of
vote, would hardly be right. Besides the poll
cy that should govern this matter, is uniform

right of suffrage, it cannot he denied to those
who seek foothold IN this land from foreign
shores. Furthermore the tendency of the age
is to universal suffrage The end seems in
