Henry Ward Beecher's visit to the
Northwest has been signal for ortho-
dox warriors all along the line to open
fire upon his peculiar doctrines. Es-
pecially has his lecture on evolution
awakened a great deal of comment
and called forth sturdy attacks from
many q village parson. This simply
proves that Beecher is man of great
intellectual powers, who, apart from
the great reputation that goes every
where with him, is capable of pro-
foundly impressing an audience, for
he is not, and does not claim to be a
scientist or an authority on evolution.
He is not specialist of any kind, but
the owner Of the most capacious mind
that there is on the continent-a mind
that can contain more ideas on history,
religion, science and politics than any
two other minds in the country.

local prosperity alta time of general
depression. Taking the broader view
of the question, then, WHAT are the
prospects! There are those who pre-.
dict q panic near at hand, or at least, a
season of unusual depression; but the
facts do not seem to warrant the pre-
diction. It's true, the current has
been setting slowly in the wrong di-
rection for some time, but good har-
vest will check this tendency, and
probably turn it in tile opposite direc-
ton. In good times money naturally
flows out from the centers of wealth;
in times of depression it tends back
again to lie idle in the vaults of con-
lservative capitalists. Now the trouble
at present is undoubtedly overproduc-
ton. When markets are over stocked,
producers must lie out of their money,
a5orers lose employment and capital.
lists, becoming fearful of the const.
quences, withdraw their money and
curtail credits. A country is generally
prosperous when the demand and sup
ply keep pace with each other. Just
now the coal, iron and cotton interests
are suffering from over production and
other industries in sympathy with
them feel the effects. Had the crops
been to any considerable extenta fail
IRE this year serious panic, similar to
the one ten years ago could not have
been averted. As it is, with fairly
successful harvest the country over, a
period of continued prosperity may be
expected, though what is called s'flusll
times" cannot be counted upon.
Viewing the matter from locaI
stand point the outlook is very en-
couraging. A few weeks of favorable
weather will wind up "a harvest il
which our farmers will find a rich re-
turn for their labor and patience. Hat
it not been for the losses of last fal
resulting as much from careles:
methods of farming as from othel
causes, the country this year would
have made great stride forward las il

MEETING OF Tue A. A. A 8.

1t is safe to assume that not very
large proportion Of our readers were
much interested in the meeting of the
American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science, held in Mime.
apolis last week. The subjects there
discussed would be regarded as some
what remote from the intellectual WIS.,
ion of our average citizen, especially at
a season of the year when the produc.
ton of No. hard is such an engross-
ing topic. Not that we would infer
that amongst the intelligent readers of
the PIoNEER-EXPREss there are not
many who might find, in the dicussion
that took place at the meeting referred
to, much food for reflection and enjoy.
ment, but their pursuits and surround.
ings are such that they are disposed to
leave all scientific discussions to scien.
tific M en-, just as the deacon was con.
tent to 60 to sleep in church when he
was satisfied that the preacher was or.
thodox.
The most notable feature in this
meeting of American scientists was
the address of Principal Dawson OF
McGill College, Montreal. DR.. Daw.
son is one of the most celebrated, if
not indeed the foremost geologist OF
the age. A learned scientist, he is
careful and modest in all his assertions
never dogmatic except on admitted
facts. Take for instance, the follow.
ing extract from his address at Mime.
apolis:
"This view also opens up towns the
thought that the domain of science is
practically boundless, for who can set
limits to the action of mind on the
universe OF of the universe on mind.
1t follows that science must he limited
ON all sides by unsolved myteries; and
it will not serve any good purpose to
meet these with clever guesses. If we
so treat the enigmas of the sphinx ma.
ture, we Shall surely be devoured.
Nor, on the other hand, must we col.
lapse into absolute despair and resign
ourselves to the confession of inevita.
BILE ignorance. 1t becomes us rather
boldly to confront the unsolved cues.
lions of nature, and to wrestle with
their difficulties till we master such as
we can, and cheerfully leave those we
cannot overcome to be grappled with
by our successors.
The concluding remarks of DR.. Daw.
son will also be of interest He said
Sociology as a science dates from a
century ago. We have reason for sur.
prise under these circumstances that it
has learned so much, and for equal
surprise that so many persons appear
to think it a complete, full-grown
science, and that it is entitled to speak
with confidence ON all the great
mysteries of the earth that have been
hidden from the generations before lis.
Such being the newness of man and of
his science of the earth, it is not too
much to say that humility, hard work in
collecting facts and absence from
hasty generalization should character
ize geology, at least for several gener-
ations to come. Science is light, and
light is good; but it must he carried
high, else it will fail to enlighten the
world. Let us strive to raise it high
enough to shine over every obstruc-
ton which casts any shadow on the
true interests of humanity. Before all,
let us hold up the light and not stand
in it ourselves

Prohibition in Prison.

in sentencing a young man for
theft, said: at isin evidence that
when you are sober, you are peace
able, law aiming citizen; you have
repeatedly tried to overcome that
appetite for strong drink, which is
your greatest enemy. The SEN
tence of the court is that you be
confined in the State Prison at
Trenton for two years. In fixing
the term we have been guided by
the belief that, in that time, under
the prohibition of prison discipline,
you can master your appetite and
come out a reformed man" Think
of the State licensing rum shops,
and then having to send her ruin
ed citizens to State Prison, that
being the only place where prohi-
bition prevails, and consequently
the only place where her drunken
sons may be safe. at conduces to

The Most Taking Topic.

The Boston correspondent of the
Christian Union says that the man
ager of a popular lecture bureau
in that city recently stated that
the most taking topic now be-
fore the public is PROFESSIONALLY
the temperance reform, and that
the largest audiences of to-day are
those Of the popular temperance
speakers when they appear on the
temperance platform. Couple this
with the fact so we'll stated by our
own Boston correspondent this
week, that there were gathered to-
gether in Boston, on the 22d of
February, 25, 900 people to listen to
and honor Governor st. John, and
the statement seems far from alb
surd or wild.-SjgnaJ.
