Help Needed.

Hon. ]. l. IL Curry, General Agent oil
the Peabody fund. says:
Grandly as the Southern States have
done, it is impossible for them to supply
sufficient funds for the daily multiplying
demands. State resources are inadequate to
maintain aud perfect machinery now in
motion, to keep schools in activity for eight
or ten months in the year, to build and
equip houses, and train and pay teachers.
The South has a school population of
about 900, 900, and pays annually for COM
mon school education 81, ,000,0 GOO. To edu-
cate universally aud properly would require
an annual tax OF $30, 600, 900 or $40, 900. 900,
and it is absurd to ask or expect the South
TO raise for free education three times as
much as Connecticut or New York does.
The sum sufficient to maintain compre-
hensiye and permanent system of free schools
ever improving and flexible in its adap-
tation to shifting exigencies must be fer
nished in large measure By the Federal Gov
ernment. National aid Is indispensable.
The government must deliberately and
courageonsly determine as an imperative
duty Of sslfpreservation, to aid the States
IN keeping alive and improving their sys-
tens Of public instruction.

A Love Story from England.
From the Scranton Republican

From the Scranton Republican.
The marriage of a young couple in Hyde
Park Saturday night, was the happy reali-
zation of very pretty romance. They are
both children of farmers in England, he of
poor, she of wealthy parents. The farms
adioin. They became infatuated with each
other and a eourtship began. The parents
of the young bride were bitterly opposed
to the match, aud did everything to break
it up. Love for parents, however, could
not repress the fame that glowed for her
lover. The tie grew stronger and stronger.
Even threats of disinheriting her availed
nothing. As a last resort she was sent to
Scotland. Her lover was almost broken
hearted. She was closely watched lest she
might write to him. Not word came to
console him and despairing of ever seeing
his love again, he sailed for America. This
was ten menths ago. After his departure
the girl was brought to her home in Eng
land. The hope she had fostered of meet
ing her lover was usurped by bitter grief
and disappointment. Some time after the
arrival of the young man in this country
he wrote to a former governness of the
young lady regarding her. Through the
governess she learned where her lover was.
Without preparation and with the bare
means of defraying the trip, she set sail and
arrived in New York last week, almost PEN
niless and without friend in the great city.
Thursday her anxious lover received q let
ter from that city, stating that she hay fol-
lowed him to the shores'of the free. Money
was sent to her and the noble and plucky
woman came to Scranton on the 6 o'clock
train Saturday night. The couple were
married by Hyde Park minister at 5
o'clock the same evening,

CoUatries from 'rhiek
What is DarwinismP ?

What is called Darwinism, il will be seen
is not identical with the doctrine of eyolu-
| tion, but is based upon it. 1t is an attempt
| to explain in some detail the manner of ev-
olution in organic beings 1t is well known
| that man, by a certain course of breeding
or cultivation, can modify and improve the
character of various animals and plants.
BY always selecting the best specimens from
which to propagate, those features which it
is desired to perpetuate become more and
more strongly developed, so that mere
varieties sometimes acquire, in the course Of
successive generations, q character .appar-
emily as distinct from that of other varieties
as enc species is from another of the same
genus. Hence it is inferred that what we
call species were originally only varieties.
Darwin maintained that influences similar
to those which man brings to bear in breed
ing animals may exist in the circumstances
which surround them in q state of nature
and will act in a similar way. Plants and
animals are for the most part gifted with
great powers of increase and if the process
went on unchecked the earth would be over
run. The inevitable result is a conflict for
the possession of the earth, destruction of
life, and what Darwin calls the "struggle |
for existence" The multitude perish, the |
lew survive. Dub II CANNOT Be wholly |
matter of chance which individuals survive. |
Obviously those will survive that have some
advantage over their competitors. Some |
plants or animals by superior vigor may
may be able to withstand extremes of eli
mate that would be fatal to others. Some
animals, more feet than their fellows will
escape pursuit and will transmit their fleet
ness to their progeny. Some, by greater
strength OF agility, will be best able to sup
ply themselves with food and to dspace
those lacking their advantages. In short,
the animals or plants best adapted to the
situation and circumstances in which they
are placed are those that will live and have
while others disappear. Thus
nature, as it were, continually chooses which
shall die, and this is what Darwin calls
natural selection" and Herbert Spencer
'the survival of the fittest"

Arrest of u. S. Supervisor of Regis.
tration,

CHARLESTON, S.C.-The State Supervi-
sor of Registration was arrested twice to-
day for refusing to allow the United States
Deputy Marshal to remain so near him, as
in his judgment, to impede free registration
of voters. In each case the Supervisor
waived an examination and gave bond for
his appearance at the November term of
the United States Court The Supervisor
bases his action on the decision of u. s.
Judge Hughes, of Virginia, defining the
powers ofDeputy Marshal. Two city police
were also arrested to-day on the charge of
obstruction. No complaint of unfairness of
management of registration was made by
either side.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the New York Anti-Monop-
oily Convention recently assembled at
Albany:
Res0EUed, That the public
welfare and safety demand the following
specific measures of relief:
First-Laws compelling transportation
companies to have their charges for passen-
gers and freight upon the cost and risk of
service, with fair profit added, instead of
upon the new theory advanced by them ''of
what the traffic will bear"
Second-Laws TO prohibit the establish
ment, through construction companies or
other devices, of fictitious or fraudulent
cost for works of public nature, and pro-
hibiting unjust determinations against in
dividuals and localities
Thrd-A Railroad Commission for the
State of Ne" York, which shall have ade-
quate powers to see that these laws are en-
forced, and which commission should be
non-partisan in its character
Fifth-A prohibition against free passes
are more efficient laws against the crime OF
bribery and for the protection of the
purity of the ballot, and securing
iull power W Inc Peopie over NOMINATIONS
at primary elections.
Sixth-A public service in all its depart
ments founded wholly upon honesty and
capability.
Seventh-Equal rights ana equal taxation
for all SO that every citizen and every cor
poration, association, or company shall have
the full protection of the laws and bear its
full and equal share of the burdens of the
Government.
Eighth-A free unsubsidizad press. This
bulwark of free institutions must be main
tanned in its purity; journals which may have
been purchased by monopolists must be dis
trusted, and those which are not thus sub
sidized must be sustained by the people.
ReS0Locd, That we recognize the rights of
capital as we'll as of labor. We appreciate
the benefits which corporate organizations
have conferred upon society, and we would
counsel the same, and will labor as stead
fastly to maintain the lawful and just rights
of corporations, as we shall to enforce an
observance of their duties but we believe

Two Kinds of Immigrants.

San Francisco Examiner: On both sides
of the continent immigrants are pouring in.
To the Pacific Coast comes ship after ship
laden with Coolies, who bring nothing but
the clothes they wear and the smallpox.
They have no higher ambition than to earn
enough to pay their fare back to China and
enable them to pass the remainder of their
days within the boundaries of that unpro-
gressive Empire. On the Atlantic coast
steamers arrive every day freighted with
emigrants whom the poverty of the Old
World has forced to seek homes in the New.
Many of these sturdy tillers of the soil,
skilled laborers and small farmers bring
with them their wives and children. Some
of them come with means sufficient to pur-
chase land and engage in business. Nearly
all possess the ambition and the energy to
stimulate the industries of the country by
honorable work. They come to stay, to
spend their earnings here, and to leave
their children the inheritance of indepen-
dent manhood and respect for law.

DEMOCRATIC PROTEST.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-The pro-
test read by Representative Cox is as
follows:
WHEREAS, The minority Of this House
have heretofore, under the rules of the
House, successfully resisted the efforts of the
majority to consider the case of Mackey vs..
OConnor, because proper hearing has not
been granted to contestee by the Committee
on Elections as to allegations of forgery and
fraud, in evidence submitted by contestant !;
and
WHEREAS, The majority, in order to
prevent and avoid such investigation, have
proceeded to change the rules in manner
not provided for in the rules, in which
alone they can or ought to be changed /; and
WHEREAS, The Speaker has made a
ruling which justifies proceeding unknown
to principles OF constitutional and parlia-
mentary law, and subYersiye of the rights
of the minority; therefore, the undersigned
representatives of the people, hereby protest
against the proceedings of the majority and
the rulings of the Speaker, as uniustifable,
arbitrary and revolutionary, and expressly
designed to deprive the minority of that
protection which has been established as
one of the great monuments of a represen-
tative system By the patriotic labors Of
advocates Of parliamentary privileges and
civil liberty.

The Protective Tariff.

Bessemer steel rails are protected by
duty of s2S per ton. Under shelter
of this tax the manufacture of steel rails
is perhaps the most profitable business
in the United States. Most capital is
well employed that brings in dividend
of eight, or even six, per cent. A
monopoly secured by patent, is further
hedged around by protective duties, and
accumulates profits all the way from
100 to 200 per cent. per annum.
The National Greenback Executive
Committee, in their recent address
says:
We are opposed to the monopoly of
money through the National Banking sys-
TEN, and favor the Government issuing all
the currency, making it a full legal tender,
and keeping its volume uniform with the
of increasing business and
This is a good doctrine, and we only
wish the men who proclaim it would
unite forces with the Democratic party
and help to put it into practice.
