No ONE who reads carefully the daily
papers can fail to see that a national SEN
timent is being aroused against the evils
OF the liqaor traffic such as this country
has never seen. The conscieAces of men
are being aroused as it was thirty and
forty years ago at the evils of the slave
power. To break that power looked q
thing impossible, but when the resolution
was firm and the brow knit for the stern
conflict, the speedy accomplishment sur
surprised the world. The warfare may
not be waged in the same way, but wheth-
er in the narrow confines of State lines or
Oh broader national field, the clements
entering the conflict will be the same.

AGUE CONQUEROR WILL CURE. There
is no disease or affliction more easily
cured than the ordinary Fever and Ague
OF this country, and yet it is one of the
most dreaded. In fact, in some persons,
Fever and Ague, Intermitting, Remitting,
and kindred Fevers, if continued, bring
ON ether diseases which eventually prove
very difficult to cure, and sometimes re-
suit in death. The Ague ConQueror,
although vegetable preparation, con
tanning no poisOns, has never failed to
cure any case of Ague within cur knowl-
edge, and the chills do not return during
that season. Price so cents and 81 90 per
bottle. TO make permanent cure of
difficult case it will require a $1OO bottle
to cleanse the system and leave the Liver
and other organs in healthy condition
so that the chills will not return. Sold by
all druggists and dealers every where.

The recent unprovOked tragedy in Mil
ford, where man was shot down for
playful remark, is an episode of Western
frontier life transferred to Delaware soil.
Such things, from what we read, are not
taken much account of in the mining
region where the murderer had spent
several years, but in our law abiding COM
munity it is astounding. No more value
attach to human life than this! No
wonder that the excitement in Milford
was intense at the enactment of such an
incident in their orderly town. The worst
of it is that there is no adequate punish
ment by the law, for it can hardly be
shown that it was premeditated.

IF DARWINIsM'' is not dead, Darwin
Is, and it will be a satisfaction to hear less
OF the pat use of his name from pulpit and
lecture platform than has been the case
the past several years. The necroIogy of
the year 1882 will perhaps contain no
more notable name than that of Charles
Robert Darwin, who died in England, ON
Thursday, aged 73 years. He commenced
scientific studies in arly life and continued
until his death, extending through forty
three years. A large number of books
and papers from his pen OH scientific sub
Jects had appeared when, in 1859, his
famous work on Origin of Species
by Means Of Natural Selection" was pub
lished. In it Mr.. Darwin attempted to
account for the diverse forms of life on the
globe on theory Of continuous develope-
ment from simpler structures, without the
Intervention of special creative fats at the
origin of each species. Large deductions
were drawn from the principles laid down
and " Darwinisn" became the subject of
hot debate. A catalogue of the literature
OF Darwinlsm contain 36 octave pages of
the titles OF books and 3l2 names of auth
ors. In 1871 appeared THE Descent of
Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex" a
work Complementary to that ON the origin
OF species. In this work it was sought to
prove that man is descended from o. lower
order of fanimal-" from hairy quadruped,
furnished with a tail and pointed ears.
probably arbOreal in it's habits Mr..
Darwin is not, however, authority for the
doctrine that man is descended frcm the
monkey, so often credited to him. Nor
can he be considered the father of the
doctrine of evolution, though he was one
of its principal supporters. Tie first to
form distinct hypothesis of tvyiulion in
modern times, says the Baltimore Sun, was
a Frenchman, who in 1909 published his
views, and Mr.. Herbert Spencer was the
first to systematize it into philosophy of
general application. Mr.. Darwin was
famous for his habits of patient and careful
investigation, and with little turn for
speculation, confined himself to his studies
in natural history and zoology. Mr..
Darwin has been luckier than some of the
other creative minds of science, in that he
lived to see the hypothesis through which
he is most Familiarity known widely accep-
ted by the men who are capable of proper
ly judging it, and in that foes as well az
friends have always awarded him the
highest praise as an original and profouHd
investigator Of the phenomena Of nature

ADULTERATIoNs have been so extern
slveiy practiced IN most every commercial
article by the Americans, that it was net
surprising to read the charge of certain
English cotton buyers that they had final
ly got to sanding the cotton bales. The
sanding OF sugar had been heard from the
fathers, but the sanding of cotton was
something new. A full investigation has
been made of the charges brought against
American planters and the allegations
have been disproved. 1t is claimed that
although some sand was found in the
cotton it was deposited there by the
action of the wind and rain. A little dia-
phonous, perhaps, but the decision is
official and will have to be stood bv.

JERRY BLACK has taken up the cause of
Ireland, and when he talks he always
claims attention. He tells us there has
been mOnstrous injustice and criminal
neglect in Eagland's treatment of Ireland
since the conqu st. He contends that
there has been deliberate effort to re-
duce the tenantry as much as possible to
ignorance, illiterate barbarism and pauper-
ism. He denoHnces the land system as
gigantic monopoly clothed with the privi-
lege of desolating the country and starving
the industry of the people. He attributes
the dspopulation and wretchedness Of the
island ts the atrocious misgoyernment
which has blighted and cursed it, The
attempt to force upon Ireland laws and
institutions that we're at variance with
the instincts, traditions, customs, habits of
tsought and religious instincts of the
people is, hs says, one of the most glaring
crimes-one of the most criminal bIunders
in the history of nations. Fer the crime
and the blunder the statesmen and Parlia-
ment Of maay generations must render an
account. The infamy is to be distributed
through several centuries of English his
tory, and the Irish people themselves,
although grieyously sinned against, are
nos wholly guiltleee. ~

THE fact that such man as Jesse James
could go unwhipped of justice SO many
years is itself a commentary on the mass
of the people who formerly filled the ranks
of the Border Ruffians,' and leaves no
surprise that Missouri is divided into two
almost equally divided parties, the James
men and the Crittenden men-the latter
defending the Governor for having HIM
shot, and the other manifesting that adula-
tory praise that would have been bestowed
on a daring outlaw in the middle ages.
Taken as whole, it is a wonderful exhi-
bition of Western civilization.

WHETHER from some great electrical
disturbance or not, the elements have
manifested very great excentricities the
past week or two. Some ten days ago
several towns in both the South and West
were almost aHnihilated by cyclones and
floods, and week ago portion of Penn
sylvania was likewise visited by one of
those funnel shaped destructive storms.
On Saturday, a number of places in the
West were visited by destructive cyclones
and bursting water spouts. In one town,
Monticello, Mississippi, only three houses
were left standing and ten persons were
killed

The advance in prices and constant
strikes all over the land for higher wages
are tending to the inevitable result of a
break. Contractors are afraid to contract
for fear their Workmen will cause them
to lose by striking for higher wages. The
greatest boom" now is in strikes. The
Wilmington papers speak of the probabili-
~ OF building operations there being
greatly lessened. \ total suspension OF
building operations is threatened in New
York if the strikes of workmcn engage d
in the building trades are pushed much
further. One architect on Saturday coun-
termanded orders for five apartment
houses. the aggregate cost Of which would
have been about 100000. the higher
prices demanded for labor, together with
the advance in building material, render
ing it impossible to do the work ut any,
thing like profit. There is point where
the consideration of cost summarilv de-
cides the question of beginning or coMtinu-
ing enterprises Of this character indcprn-
IDENTIFY of other influences, and from that
decision there is no appeal, and it is
thought this point is nearly reached.

half of Judge Beattie. He made a
very conservative and forcible
speech, endeavoring to impress up
OIL his race the Importance of recon
citation between the two races.
He spoke at length upon the cor

his remarks, in reference to the
Hon. Joseph 81. Acklen, were
made in complimentary terms. He
was interrupted several times by
the Kellogg men asking foolish
questions. 1t was Impossible for
him to make himself heard at any
great distance, on account of the
