The fact cannot be disputed that theories of
evolution are winning favor in scientific circles,
as an explanation of the present forms of ami
nal ard vegetable life. The most prominent
OF these theories is known as Darwin
ism; the rest differ from that in varI-
ous points, chiefly in not accepting as
the sole or chief means of development,
those which Mr. Darwin has skilfully urged !;
but they Ill agree upon the point that series
OF changes, making an essential part of
their history, has taken place in organic
FORMS The lecture of Prof. j. W. Draper,
before the Unitarian Institute, of which an
abstract is given in other columns, presents
the theory as eypounded by Mr.. Darwin, and
urges its acceptance, partly on the ground of
its rounded completeness, and partly because
of the noblcr views of the universe to which,
The lecturer alleges, il leads its believers.
1t seems TO be tho fashion with leading
essayisis upon modern scientific theories to
seek proof that the doctrine they advocate is

subject are, with theological controversies OF

Tweed's statement had twenty-four hours the
ADVANTAGE of Tweed. Tweeds explanation,
yesterday seems TO have the appearance of
truth. There was nothing in the list of checks
that indicated corruption beyond the fact that
they were drawn by Tweed, and his declara-
ton that he made the list merely TO give a
complete showing of checks in his possession,
without specifying on paper whether the
amounts had been paid or not, or for what
purposes they were given, seems reasonable.
This is more than can be said of his belief
that Mr.. Fairchild was responsible for the
publication of his statement
BY the suits of the receiver of the American
Popular Life Insurance Company, new cv-
licences are brought to light of the outrageous
dishonesty which characterized that concern.
1t is now stated that large lots of the stock
issued were never really paid for by the
stockholders; yet dividends were paid TO
them. Among the heaviest of these opera
tons was the holding of block of 2S3 shares
by the President of the broken concern, upon
which he owed sos, 900 to the company. The
deficiency in their accounts was concealed by
counting his worthless checks as cash. This IS
one of the cases where State examination
might have been of more service if it had be-
gun earlier
They are serious charges which the repre-
sentative of the Ship Owners Association
makes against the Board of Commissioners
for the licensing of sailors boardng-hOuses
and from Mr.. George w. Blunt, in particular
they are calculated to provoke more serious
letter than he is in the habit of addressing to
the newspapers. He should not be condemned
without being heard, but tho abuses of sailors
boarding-bOuses are notorious; and ii only
one meeting of the Board has been held since
1869, and that was held four years ago to
elect Mr. Blunt president it is not difficult to
see upon whom the responsibility for these
evils must rest Mr.. Ferris charges that no
member OF the Board has ever inspected a
offences committed in these houses, 10 indict-
ments have been sought, while persons are
promptly prosecuted for nOn-payment OF license
fees to the president; that in eleven years
only $92 of the many thousands collected for
licenses have been spent for the relief OF des-
titute seamen, the rest going for the salaries
of the Board, in violation of law. The report
of Mr.. Ferris's inspection of more than 100 of
these houses confirms all that the public has
been prepared to believe about them. If his
charges are sustained, this is a great abuse,
which ought not to be longer winked at Let
us hear from Mr. Blunt.

The Graphic is calling attention to tho neglect of
the iobbi:g houses of New-YOrk to make use of the
newspapers to advertise their business. With very
few exceptions, the names of wholesale firms are
never seen in the advertising columns of the daily
journals. just why this should be the here and
not in other large cities, not easy to determine
but there appears to be tradition of the trade to
spend money in making known its business to ito
customers in every way but the best way. multi
tude of special trade journals are literally patron
lied. many OF which have no circulation except
among the advertisers themselves and the tables of
hotel reading-roOms all over the country covered
with directories albums, business guides and clrcu-
lars which nobody ever reads, filled with the well
paid cards of the NewYork jobbers but the news
paper. which goes everywhere and is read every
where is wholly neglected by them. This is all the
more singular, when reflect that the New-fork
iobbersha peculiar advantages offered them by the
press of their city in Its national circulation. The
newspapers of other cities have only local circula-
ton, but the great daihes Of the Metropolis count
their readers in every State in the Union, and in
almost every village.

There will be no famine next year in North
ern India. at least, and this il good news TO
ali mankind.
A destructive explosion of fre-damp in On
English coal mine has sufiocated it is feared
thirty-iye out of forty miners, and three OF
the men who attempted the work of rescue.
When the Davy safety-lamp was invented. it
was hoped that this class of disasters WAS at an
end, but the lamp gave facilities for
working i'm pits where greater quantl-
ties Of the gas We're present, and the
risk of human life in coal mining is now almost
as great "a it was a century ago. Perhaps the
introduction of the telephone into mines may
help in respect to quick communication with
the surface when an accident occurs; but in
cases like that of the Wigan explosion, what
is most needed is some cOntrvance for sup
plying the rescuers with air from above ground.
General Sheridan gives voice to the feeling
of the whole country, in transmitting to Gen
eral Terry and Colonel Miles the official con-
ordinations on the capture of the Indian
Chief Joseph and his band. This cap
ture has been effected only by I'M
hesitating courage, and after the endur-
ance of severe hardships; in fact, it
may be doubted if harder campaign has been
successfully concluded in our annals of Indian
warfare. The Nez Perc6s have fought with
singular adrOitness, as well as bravery; they
could be beaten only by those who were
superior TO them in skill and courage, since
an unwIse policy has diminished the number
of our available troops so that in several in
stances we have had far too few men in the
attack. The victories over the band OF Joseph
have cost us many brave soldiers. IL is con

CHAPTER of slaughter, by preventing for ut
least long period. general Indian war.
President MacMahons second mani
festo is more satisfactory than the first,
though il il calculated TO cajOe and intimi-
date. His assurances that the Re
publican Constitution is not in dan

syerse TO violent changes. But when he replies
10 Gambctta, in saying that he cannot forsake
his post, and will answer for "order
"and peace" he is at the old game
of defiance and terrorism. Altogether
this last hour address is too late to neutralize
the effect of Thiers's mastery argument, or
the ardent energy of the Republicans. In
civil as well as military enterprises, the French
become demoralized when defeat is imminent.
So far, everything indicates that the RoyaIists,
psrplexed and discounted. will furnish another
