AN "EVOLUTION" Nut TO CRACK.

II is fortunate it was Darwin, and not
Huxley, that has left this world of science and
funkeyism, SO that we may yet call on the
Professor to crack nut for US in the line OF
the .'evolution'' theory. We understand, by
it, every brute to have its representative prln
ciple and constituent element in man. Yet a
tourist, going quietly around creation, and
happening to drop on this little affair OF a
world, would be struck with the common
sense of every animal in it but man. Why
should every animal, when it gets to the door
OF the "microcosm", drop its common sense
and go into the supreme life, leaving it be-
hind? That question we would like to have
discussed, and it certainly presents difficulty
enough to warrant what, in military parIance,
is called a general engagement. While brutes
in living conform to the laws of being, man
systematically inverts them. When the sun
goes down brutes go to rest, and are thus eX-
emplary in their obedience to the laws Of ma
ture. But it is during the night that man con-
centrates himself on his vices. There is no
instance in which brutes rebel against
the laws of God. We do not recall
any one in which man conforms to them. We
are not aware of any brute that will drink
wine, beer or whisky, or use tobacco. 1t is the
exception and not the rule under which men
will drink water, or abstain from the weed. !"
With brutes the laws of health are unexcep-
tionably observed, by man they are invariably
violated. Brutes of the same species live to-
gether under natural laws in peace and har-
mony. Men are compelled to keep Congresses
and other conventional bodies, to make laws
that they may be restrained from destroying
each other But it is needless to multiply in
stances. These make it obvious that little
of the common sense of the brute creation
would go great way if it could have got into
The micrccosm. We would like to hear the
Professor upon this point which comes up
naturally, now that the wind is knocked out Of
the good old Scriptural theory OF generation.

Congressional Nominations.

The State Convention. last week, after being
shlk-n up like box of loaded dice, and turned
ont. selected $. Il. Peters, b. W. Perkins, Lewis
Hanback, and f. n Morrill, for the four Con-
.ressrnsn at large. Some claim that railroad
combination effected it; others, that it was an
ingalls, slate; and still others, that ST. John
managed IT, But We think they are all correct,
for railroads, ingalls, aud st. John are one and
The same thing, and mean railroad interests.
Jay Could & Co. have four votes in Congress as
s0lidly as if one Of the great railroad magnates
possessed the votes in his own person. We do
not want TO hear any more about railroad mo-
nopolies The people, refusing to listen, or al
lowing interested politicians to draw the wool
over their eyes, have sent delegates to Topeka to
nominate four CongTeSsmen in the interest of
railroads. They have done it themselves, and
may ns well keep mum on the railroad question.
But the Republicans of the State have given
Ms this ticket to support, and We shall support
it. We can stand it, If they can. Congressman
can sometimes benefit the people Of the District
they represent but We shall never expect Mr..
Morrill, TO permit any benefits to come to Doni-
phan County, if he can possibly prevent 1t.
Had he shown disposition to do 50 heretofore,
he would have had the support Of the County,
in the late Convention. But as he "gOt there,

he shonld. IN the hour Of his triumph, 60 ont of
his way to look for fayOrs to bestow on this
County. However, To a shrewd Yankee, there
is n look ahead, which may secure us better
treatment than we expect. The first term in
Congress only whets mans appetite for more.
When Morrill's first term is out, we shall be set
off into little District, and the very men who
did the most to nominate Morrill, this time, will
then want the place themselves. Perhaps it
will be in Doniphan COunty's power to say:
''You gave us Morrill, before now We shall re-
turn the compliment, and give him to yoH."

GETTING WELL or 1.-THE Atchison Champion,
a few days ago. said thar it understood that
the Junction City Union for last week would
announce that it would nat support st. John, II
he should be nominated, and that other prumi-
nent Republican papers would follow suit. The
Union did not make tho announcement expected,
whereupon the Atehison Globe remarks:
The last number of the Junction City Union did
not announce that it would oppose St John if he
should be renoninated- OF course it didn't No
body expected il would dare do such thing. II il
the Republican organ of the County in wbirh il 10
published, and snch viii support the nominee,
whoever he may be. Even the Troy CLi,f. the most
independent Republican paper in the state. would
not fight the great fnnatc If he should be the nom
inee-
We are glad that George w. Martin acted the
part Of wisdosi, and reconsidered his determine
ton, if he ever entertained it. If the Atchison
CLampion is anxious To a bolt inaugurated,
to bnlldoze the Republican party, let it muster
up sufficient backbone, for once in its life, to
lead off in the movement. As for the Chief, il is
sick of this political hypocrisy and shystering.
Whatever it may have said and thought of st.
John heretofore, it is now perfectly indifrent,
aud can receive the denomination of 81. John
with perfect equanimity, and support him with
ont making a wry face. If lfprobibiton is fraud,
anii-prohibtion has no advantage over it. If
AtehisOn and Topeka can come up with so much
zeal and energy to give ms E. n. Morrill, for Con-
gress, who is in favor of National prohibition,
we can stand st. John, who is in favor of State
prohibition. If Atchison and Topeka can unite
to honor and reward the men who made st. John,
the Chief has independence enough to support
st. John himself. They claim that Morrill, has
sold Brown County to them, in opposition to St.
John; and we have no donbt that he will be
able to deliver his cattle. The next move is to
have the Counties that are honestly opposed to
St. John, go to bulldozing, and threaten to bolt.
We believe that st. John has got them where
Caleb had the hen, and we are willing he shall
hold them.
