IT is queer that assassins, who
want to be considered brave men,
are always anxious to be proved in
sane after they have been put upon
trial for assassination. The murder
er that shot at Queen Victoria has
been declared insane by an English
court. and is to be imprisoned during
the Queens pleasure. He WAS anx-
ious to be declared insane 1t was
the insanity plea, that was put in to
save Guiteau, and the criminal did
all he knew by acts, in court, and in
Jail to create such an opinion in the
minds of such people as seen him act,
or heard him speak.
CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN, author of
the ''Origin of Species by Natural
Selection, died in England last week
He did not believe in special erea-
ton, but believed that the present
state intellectual, and moral devel-
opement of man. is the result of a
slow process of natural develope-
ment from low order of animal life.
A developement that required cen
turies of time to bring about. He
WAS best known among the people
.as the man who believed that man
had his origin in a monkey. Darwin
was aged "A years His doctrines of
developement ere not in accord with
what is taught III the Scriptures.
The Scriptures teach a special crea-
ton; that man was created a perfect
man from the first, and every order
of animal after its own kind.
TIE North -4merican says, relative
to the Congressional action that led
to the rejection of the two Mormon
Delegates. In deciding that neither
Cambell nor cannon is entitled to q
seat in Congress as delegate from the
Territory of Utah, the House of Rep
reSentatives has come to the only
conclusion that was consistent with
common sense. Apart from the
doubt that had been raised in regard
to his naturalization, Cannon was in
eligible under the resolution debarr-
ing polygamists from admission,
while it would have been absurd to
admit Campbell in view of the fact
that he had only received one vote in
twenty of the votes cast. Under
these circumstances it was manifest
that the House had no reasonable al
tentative but to reject both of the
candidates, and to give the people of
Utah an opportunity to elect a repre-
sentative who shall be competent to
take his seat.
OCEAN going ships have been at
loss, for ballast. Wheat makes good
ballast. Ships frequently take wheat
as ballast, and when such is the
case the freight rate is reduced to a
small figure. Within the past few
weeks out going vessels have been
hard put to, to secure ballast. In
order to secure the weight to steady
the ship; in number of instances
they have offered to carry wheat
across the ocean free of charge as
ballast. To that point despatch
from Chicago says: 'The ocean
steamship lines are begging Chicago
railway agents to send them grain
for ballast. Never before were they
driven to such a strait. The agents
of the Eastern lines terminal here
We're asked by wire if they could not
be furnished small cargoes on con-
dItion that no charge should be made
for transporting it by water to Liv-
erpool- The agents replied that the
offer of free transportation had failed
to secure any freight. Again the
steamship people renewed their ap-
peal, offering rs additional induce
ment a premium of several cents per
hundred pounds to the shipper. Tie
railway agents replied that even the
offer of a premium had failed to start
a movement The steamship COM
panies said that they must have ball
asst for vessels bulletined for early de-
parture. The offer of a premium
was made by four lines running be-
tween Boston and Liverpool.
