Evolution of Man.
DECISION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY O
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SOUTH.

AUGUSTA, Ga, May 26.-To-days s
session of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church South was
devoted to the discussion of the ques-
ton of evolution. The majority re
port was adopted by an overwhelm-
ing vote-137 to 81. To the several
overtures on the subject of the evo
luton of man, sent up by the presby-
teries, the General Assembly returns
answer as follows: The Church re-
mains at this time sincerely convinc
ed that the Scriptures as truly and
authoritatively expounded in our
Confession of Faith" and catechism
teach that Adam and Eve were Great
ed, body and soul, by acts of Almigh'
ty power, thereby preserving perfect
race unity; that Adams body was
directly fashioned by Almighty God,
without any natural animal parent
age of any kind, out of matter pre-
viously created of nothing; and that
any doctrine at variance Herewith is
dangerous error, inasmuch as, by
methods of interpreting Scripture
which it must demand, and in the
consequences which by fair implica-
ton it will involve, it will lead to a
denial of doctrines fundamental to
the faith.

duces vibration and if it does the
next thing to do is to find the sub
stance that will reproduce the vibra-
ton into words SO that the thoughts
can be recorded and read. After all
of these discoveries have been made,
people will begin to realize what a
finely attuned piece of machinery the
Universe is, how every word and
thought is sent out into space
throughout the universe by an in
fallible system of vibration. They
will begin to realize how it is that
God is all seeing and all hearing,
and they will understand how the
rich man in the far off regions of hell
could express the desire, and be un-
derstood that Lazerus should be
sent with drop of water to cool his
tongue.

The President and Social Science.

This Wednesday, President Cleve'
land and Miss Folsom will be mar
ried in the White House, in the pres
ence of few of the relatives Of the
respective families. This marriage il

ter this, students will turn to it to
learn, if possible, something of the
social habits and family relationship

mon as they are recorded in the sa-
cred volume, the student finds him
self asking, "were the Jews Of those
days a Polygamous peoplei So stu
dents of a thousand years after this
will read of President of the Amer
lean Republic having occupied a pc
culiar relationship in family matters,
having been married, while at the
same time there lived a woman who
bore him a son, but neither mother
or son shared with him the hoIors
and wealth of his position as the
chief ruler of the nation because their
relationship to each other was irreg-
ular and outside of the bonds of wed
lock. A thousand years after this,
students of history will be puzzled
to know whether the habits of Presi-
dent Cleveland were the commonly
recognized habits among the people
over which he ruled, just as students
of to-day are puzzled to know wheth-
er Abraham and Jacob in their inter
course with the fair sex represented
the commonly recognized or regular
relationship of man and woman to
each other in those days. We all
wonder at the habits of the people
of the past, and wonder whether the
people to come will wonder at our
habits as represented in the life OF
President Cleveland, and wonder
whether We all will be understood,
but amidst all the wondering let US
not forget to congratulate President
Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland and
wish them happiness in the relation

The Knights of Labor held their
General Assembly at Cleveland, Ohio,
last week. Every thing was done in
secret, and all proceedings that came
to the press had to pass through the
hands of committee of five Knights
of Labor. So that readers of the
proceedings of the convention of
Knights of Labor, will understand
that they are not getting an account
of the doings of the Knights from
the pens of editors and reporters for
newspapers, but from the Knights
themselves. That is the way King
William, of Prussia, and other kings
do when they meet, they give what
they please of their proceedings, and
the balance they do not allow to see
the light of day.

DURING the past week the fish
question between Canada and GER

been intensified by the Seizure of the
British fish schooner, Sisters" in

Captain Ellis of the fishing schooner
should have had a manifest, or bill

EIGHT hours day is good thing
but it is like poetry, the very fexest
number can live on it, as thousands
have found out in Chicago and other
places where the eight hour a day
system has been adopted. Three
thousand men who but a short time
ago clamored that their employer,
Sidney A. Kent should reduce their
time to eight hours work, are now as
loudly asking for a return to the ten
hour system. Kent, who is a pork
packer, is one of the few men who
can run his business on eight hours
has not yet agreed to go back to the
ten hour system.

of Wash Dickson, prince of the

street, but resides at 25S North Elev-
enth street, and in the directory he is
known as Edward Thomas, a sales
man. The pony he said he paid 5000
for two years ago was sent from
Smyrno, Del, two weeks ago. Thorn

been a successful business man. He
isn't forty and is good talker and

voice and uses nice language. The
boldness Of the advertisement in us

waiter at the boarding house has made
his acquaintance and knows how to

Cuttings Side Of the Story.

ELPAso, Texas, Aug. 12.-An Ameri-

citizen of Dallas, saw Cutting in Jail at
Paso del Norte yesterday. Il asked
him." he says, particularly as to his
alleged circulation personally in Mexi-
co of the article complained of: He
replied: upon going over to the
Mexican side on the morning of the
publication, had in my pocket q copy
of the paper Ell Sentinel. l entered a
corner cafe kept by friend of mine
aud casually handed him the paper, the
only one had. This is all I did, and
is the very truth as to the story of cir
culating great numbers of papers in

whether he intended to appeal his cast

Disastrous Break for Liberty.

one year ago, and who was sent for life,
was shot in the leg, which will be am
putated. It'll thought he will die.
Lankins, sent from Maquoketa for ten

A Defender Of Sparks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Hon. S. B.
Bevans, agent of the Watertown
land district, says that IN a recent in
terview with the president he took oc-
casion to speak favorably of Commits
sioner Sparks. He said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, Gen. Sparks is one of the finest
officers in your administration" The
president replied: "There is great
deal of complaint made against him."
To which Mr.. Bevans responded:
"That is true, Mr.. President, and there
are great many complaints made
against you, too. But that doesn't
alter the fact that you are good
president. If they only dared to let
you know it, you would find that the
same men who are complaining Of
Gen. Sparks are complaining of you,
too. They would complain of any
body; and if you were commissioner of
the land Office and 1 were president,
they would be coming to me
and making complaints about you"
The president couldn't help but smile
at the frank earnestness of the Jersey
mans championship of Sparks, and
he replied. II am very glad to hear
you speak so well of him, Mr.. Bevans,
and shall be glad to have your views
in other territorial matters" don't
believe there is another man in Dakota
who would speak out in
meeting for his friend, to the
president, as Bevans did. He is one o1
your great big whole-souled fellows
who fear nothing from presiden
down to a lamb, and will say his sa!
under all circumstances. Mr.. Bevan
has had prolonged leave of absence
from his post of duty; but it has bee
because of the fact that he has an impol
tant matter pending in the treasur
department. He expects to return t
Dakota within week.

mHE BANKERS CONVENTION.
Resolutions ON Silver and Absent
Cashiers.

BOSTON, Aug. 12.-The executive
council of the American Bankers Con-
vention in session here submitted the
following report:
Whereas, The American Bankers
Association embraces in its member
ship men Of every political party, as
well as those who acknowledge no
party obligations, and 1t has in all its
conventions carefully avoided all mere
party questions. Representing as it does
the business public as we'll as the Gus
toners and stock holders of the banks,
it again emphatically gives warning of
the impending danger to the whole
country in the continued coinage of
silver dollars under the act of 1878.
While we fully recognize the fact that
both silver and gold are required as the
money of the land we believe that
neither should be coined in such rates
that the other shall be driven out of
general use. We repudiate the idea so
often maintained that banks and
bankers oppose the continued coinage
of silver dollars on account of self
interest, but on the contrary we assert
they have no special interest in one
kind of coin more than another, as
long as each discharge its legitimate
purpose as money. We believe all
persons having limited means and par
ticularly earners of wages will be most
largely the sufferers when the threaten
ed evils shall come. We therefore
earnestly appeal to all boards of trade,
chambers of commerce, and civil and
political associations of every kind to
secure the repeal of the law or the sus.
pension of the coinage of such silver
dollars.
The report was unanimously adopt.
ed. An additional resolution was
adopted urging that the coinage Of
silver be suspended and continued
efforts be made to secure an interna
tional uniform basis of value between
gold and silver.
The following resolution which wa
adopted last year, was re-enacted:
| Resolved, That the executive com
mittee is hereby authorized and re
quested to continue such steps as ma.
be found necessary by memorial O
otherwise in behalf of the association
to procure such legislation as in futur

A Coco Suggestion.

Bismarck Tribune: AS it will beim-
possible to combine the questions of
party and division in the election of a
delegate, why not drop party lines and
nominate men wholly upon the divi-
sion question? This would be a prac-
tical solution of the question and un-
der the circumstances such seeming
mugwumpism would be excusable. If
the delegates are elected on party lines
the division question will still be as
far from local solution as ever.
