him over tie head, killing him instantly, and

Another terrible famine las broken ont in
Asia, and is desolatiug the little Kingdom of
Corea, on the eastern frontier of China, and
the natives are rapidly dying Of starvation.
Like the Indiar famine, it has arisen from
the failure of the crops last season, owing to
the want Of rain, and from the consumption
of oil reserve supplies. To add to their
1niseries, the plague has broken out among
the people. In their distress, they called
upon the Government to aid them, but the
King turned deaf ear until his subjects rose
i'll rebellion aid forced The Government to
open relieving Offices, where rice obtained
from China and Japan is dealt out. A more
horrible combination than civil war, the
plague, and famine, could hardly afaict q

| rlotously, uselessly, 6candalously, and enc
them in misery if not in sqaalid panper1sm'
The panic of 1873 swept away the sud
nly-acquired fortunes of q multitude OF
| people. Nothing is more likely to take wings
and fly away than wealth, even when it is
guarded jealously and managed with pra'
dence. Daily, since 1878, this trmbllns
from affluence to poverty has been gong on
Fire and flood, aud lightning and Storm have
played havoc with human pride and human
calculations. Dishonesty has become pes
thence. Corporation after corporation hold
ing in its stock the means of thousands
| havo fallen into bankruptcy, until
among the poorest Of the poor are
those who once possessed SEEM
ingly- permanent competency in the stocks OF
insurance companies and railroad companies.
The dishonesty Of officers, the frauds and
combinations Of managers, have destroyed
these organizations and carried off the capi-
tai of those who had invested their substance
therein.
Another branch of this pcstilentia1 dishon-
esty is that exhibited in the management OF
banks. Ten thousand and more families are
to-day mourning the loss Of the savings OF
many years of hard labor. There is n loud
and vigorous demand that the person who
wrought this calamity be brought back
from his hiding-place to be punished. There
can be no objection to this, but it should be
remembered that this is not the first bank
future, nor the first bank robbery, that has
taken place in Chicago. It is BY no means
novelty. Other banks have closed their
doors, having not dollar in the vaults
other banks have been robbed and plundered
by their Presidents, and to the crime of fraud
lont appropriation have been added those
of perjury, forgery, and secretion Of bank
property and what came of it? What WINS
done with the guilty? What law and what
court has been invoked to punish the crime,
or even to stamp dishonesty with public con-
tempt or disgrace? We admit that, because
the robbery of the State Savings Bank was
but IN imitation on perhaps larger scale of
what had preceded it, and of what had never
been punished or treated as crime, it is not
the less infamous or deserving of 1egnl
punishment; but tho fact remains that
society hes tolerated, and has for years tol-
Grated, dishonesty; has encouraged it by
liberation, and by its encouragement is re-
sponsible for the suffering and distress, the
ruin aud poverty, which have followed US
consequences.
It is time that crime be arrested in its sue:
oessfu1 career. The crime which is the more
dangerous is not that inshgated by passion,
ending in brutal violence. It is dishonesty.
The burglars, the thieves, the forgers, and
the counterfeiters must be cast out Of the
banks, the railroad companies, the fire and
life insurance companies, the counting
rooms, the warehouses, and the public
Offices. These burglars, thieves, forgers,
and counterfeiters must bo treated as their
more vulgar counterparts, who practice their
vocations professionally. Society must treat
crime as crime, and criminals as criminals.
or society must sink to the level of the dis
honestyit encourages and protects.

million. The majority Of them belonged to the
number Of those who privileged. for the prtSl-
legged have always composed about half OF the II
years old recruits. AS only 1S5. 900 men are now

ono remain to he called ont. IL necessary. Tho

1t is apparent from these figures that

crease of her armies by the extent of her
financial resources. If her finances wsre nt
all equivalent to her population, she would
be the mightiest military Power in the world.

Having traced separately the development
of vegetable and Of animal life, it remains
for the student to discover the relations
existing between the lowest forms of each.
It has been found that they pass into each
other by gradations almost imperceptible, so
that there are forms of life which unturalists
have been puzzled to call either animal
or vegetable. Until recently it was
supposed that the distinction between the
two great groups of vertebrate and invcrte-
brate animals was more clearly marked than
that between animals and vegetables in the
lowest forms; but Russian naturalist, some
ten years ago, discovered a group intermedi-
aTy between the vertebrates and tho inverte-
brates, which he called the nscidIans. This
discovery established close and unbroken
connection between all the forms of life, the
vertebrates passing into the invertebrates
over the bridge afforded by the ascaaians, and
the invertebrates vanishing by al
most imperceptib1s degrees in the vege-
table kingdom. Prof. THOMPSON remarks
that the discovery Of tho Russian naturalist,
by means Of which this connection was es-
tablished, "produced change little short
of revolutionary in embryologica1 and zoolog-
ical views" At this point lies all the law
and the prophets, so fur as the Development
Theory is concerned. The statement that oil
forms Of life are bound together by indis-
soluble ties prepares the way for the con-
clusion that The embryonic development
of an animal is, to great extent, a repeti-
ton of the ancestral history Of ths race
which it represents, this history being read,
though imperfectly, in the rocks y; and this

A E0RD TO ANON.

After tho date and address Of your
communication the following is the
first sentence: "Our attention,aa day
or two since, was called to an article
in your issue Of last week sign
ed Tax Payer, which suggests con-
siderable thought. And the follow
ing. except the signature, is the last
sentence. with your permission we
shall follow up this subject in anot1er
communication next week"
Tie first word in the first sentence
and the fourth in the last are objection
able. Who are O9Gr and aUe? Anon
does not mean more than one-Does
not mean dozen or a score, q humid
red or thousand. Besides the writer
would have used the same words if he
had signed his own name to his com
municatiOn. So we ask again who is
our and zoe. 1t has been the custom
with editors of news papers and period
icals to use those forms Of expression
meaning not themselves only but all
having the control and management of
the paper or periodical. Lately it is
becoming the custom to substitute the
name OF the paper, as the INTER.
OCEAN, the TELEGRAPH. ANON is not
the editor and has no control of the
TELEGRAPH. He is not even CORES
pondent. He has no connection what
ever with the TELEGRAPH unless per.
haps he may be q subscriber. Such
being the case we will say to ANON, il
you want any more Of your communica.
tions to appear in the TELEGRAPH
you must not use the editorial
our and 90e, but substitute for them
nay and I.
There are other objections to the
admission of more communications
we are not inclined to admit commun
lcatlons pointing out wrong where
there is none. Whatever is presented
as wrong should have a substantial
basis for it. Otherwise the TELEGRAPH
may be made vehicle for conveying
4 injustice. ANoN's communication is
rather prolix, and we would suggest, i
ne writes another, that he condense it

The ADDRESS Of the Republican
Members of the General Assembly OF
Louisiana to Governor S. B. Packard is
printed in this paper. 1t is an able
address and shows clearly how the
legal and rightful Government of
Louisiana under Governor Packard was
surrendered by the General Govern
ment under Ex-PrGsident Grant and
President Hayes to the usurping Gov
ernOr Francis Il. Nichols. Both were
called on by the General Assembly of
Louisiana, Both Houses haYinga quo
rum Of legal members, for assistance to
prevent the overthrow Of the rightful
Government Of the State by Nichols
with his well organized ritle-club army.
President Grant replied recognizing
the election Of Packard and saying if
he was forced to decide in favor Of eth
er it would be Packard and not
Nichols. President Grant went out
Of Office without furnishing the
assistance called for. And Presi-
dent Hayes never vouchsafed an an
sWer to the call, but in place of it said
he would soon send q commission to
the State and till then wanted things
foreman as they were. The commits
sion went and managed to get a quo
rum Of Returning Board members of
each House into the Nichols General
Assembly. They then wrote the Pres
jdent what they had done and advised
the speedy withdrawal Of the Federal
troops from the State House and from
the capital which was done. The le,
gal Government was withheld from
organizing the militia and the usurp-
ing Government was allowed to keep
a well organized army, and to take
forcible possession Of the Supreme
Court and the Police Offices filling
them with his own Judges and Police.
Packard was thus rendered helpless
and Nichols enabled to take and hold.
possession of the Government and ali
the offices by force, if force should be
come necessary.
