To the yoters Of Upton County;
We have full and reliable reports
from all parts OF the county, and we
find that there is no necessity for the
withdrawal of G.. w. Smitheal as a
candidate for the legislature. From
the information in our possession
Smitheal in our opinion will carry
every civil district in the county over
Barrett by large majoritics, except
three, and Barrett can beat him in
these three districts, if at all, only
by small majorities. We call upon
his friends in all parts of the county
to pay no attention to the misrepre-
sensations new being made by his OPP
ponents of his strength. He is by far
the strongest man in the race, and can
be easily elected by a handsome ma
iority over all opposition. He will
not be Withdrawn, but will run the
race through, all the reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding,

manufacturers, who are republicans.
are trying by intimidation to keep the
men in their employ from voting the
democratic ticket. The same is being
done in Pennsylvania.
The statute of the United States for
the suppression of such practice is
very stringent. Unfortunately it is
not enforced. The administration of
the law is 10 republican hands. The
marshals and deputies, the district at.
torneys, the court commissioners and
the whole machinery Of the federal
criminal law is in the hards of repub-
lican officials. They protect this par

ing them to justice. Added to this
the men who are engaged in this sys-
telnatic buildozing are men of wealth
and position. They have patronage
and power. They are the intimate
friends Of high Office holders and party
leaders.
All this favors in a remarkable de-
erce, the intimidation now being prac-
ticed to coerce workingmen TO the

Every honest Irishman should paste
tn, following in his hat, and then
commit it to memory. On the 9Th oil
March, 1867, a year memorable to
Irishmen, the following resolution wa:
introduced into the house Of repre-.
seniatives Of the United States:
Resolved, That this house extend
its sympathy to the people of Ireland
in their struggle for constitutions
liberty"
This resolution was passed by
vote Of l0l to II. Among the four
teen who voted against extending
even sympathy to struggling Irish
men in the dark days of 1861 appear,
the name of james A. Garfield, candi-
date for president on the republican
ticket. What Irishman could or would
vote for a man who denied ireland
even sympathy in her hour Of need.
We venture there is not one who is {
true Irishman. Later, on the 18th O
April, 1871, the following preamhl,
and resolution we're introduced in thi
same body.
Whereas, The prolonged incarcer
alton Id the prisons of the Dominion
of Canada of persons accused of vic
lating the neutrality laws is a source
of irritation 10 a large number O
American citizens, therefore
Resolved, That the president Of
the United States be respectfully re.
quested to have the case Of such per.
sons presented before a joint higt
commission, to the end that their re
lease may be effected"
The preamble and resolution passed
the house over James A. Garfield
objection, and his vote stands on re
cord against both. Will honest Irish
men pocket these insults and vote for
Garfield?

Professor Ovens researches among
the south African fossils have just
brought to light another of those
curious connecting links between
widely different classes Of animals
which the theory of evolution has led
us to expect, and which the diligence
of fossil hunters has now made famil-
lar. Already we have grown accus-
toned to hear Of birds with lizard-like
tails or with teeth in their jaws, of
saurians with wings and ofhorses with
three toes. But Professor Owens
new species is one Of still deeper inter
ests, because it helps US to bridge over
the gap between the mammals and the
cold-bloOded yertebrates. One by one
the CULTS which separated fish, am
phibian, reptile and bird have been
filled up; and now the last Of them be-
tween reptile and mammal seems in q
fair way to be filed up in its turn by
these south African remains. The
fossil bones in question are those Of
an extinct reptile which in some
points of its skeleton offer an analogy
10 the ornithorhynchus, or duck-mole
Of Australia, the creature familiarly
known as the best with a bill" The
duck-mole probably possesses more
aliases than any other living animal,
but its recognized scientific title has
been finally settled as platypus.; and
Prof. Owen has accordingly bestowed
upon the south African form the for.
midable name of platypOdosaurus
which sums upits main characteristic,
in a nutshell. 1t is, in fact, a lizard
like reptile, with a tendency towarC
certain low types Of mammalian struct
ure.
To estimate the real value of tn,
newly discovered creature, and tn,
light which it casts upon the history
Of evolution, we must remember wha
are the peculiarities of the livinj
duck-mole itself. 1t is, indeed, will
its first cousin, the echidna, one 0
those remarkable surviving type
which occasionally enable US, even il
our living world, to span the apparen
gulf between highly differentiated or
ganic classes. A manned only b.
courtesy, the duck-mole may b
roughly described as a fur-covered an
imal which lays eggs. 1t is thus al
ready not yeiy far removed in In
most important particular from tn.
reptiles: while, on the other hand, i
clearly leadsus on to pOuched animals
like kangaroos, which bring iortI
their young alive, it is true, but still
in a condition scarcely differing from
that offs chick IN tie egg.
While there are still c~onsiderabl
gaps to be filed in the series at Ger
tain points, we may nevertheless "a,
that the pedigree Of the mammalii
from the reptiles is now pretty surel
made out. Among living or extinc
forms we have, first, the primitiY
reptile; then a reptile with nascen
mammalian tendencies, next, a still
more mammalian but ovoviviparou
form then again, a group Of pouche,
/, mammals; then a few closely allied
but pouchless mammals; and then tn.
various lines Of dement, culminatin.
in our highest existing creatures. AM

forms is exactly what, on the theor
