Everybody knows mutual protect
ion is the cheapest if properly con-
Quoted. The following is merely a
suggestion as to how merchants may
protect themselves at cost and pay
for no risks except their own. The
idea is cooperation and no losses
no cost. Let, say. thirty merchant,
agree together as follows:
This association shall consist of -
members.
Each member shall pay into the
funds of the association the amount
he now pays on the property his
rights in the association represent.
No contiguous property shall be
represented In the association.
The association shall aim to sepa-
rate the risks as much as possible.
The fund of the association shall
amount to 81 600, to be loaned at 8
per cent. on real estate security.
No loan to be made on property
represented in the association.
No risks taken on both buildings
and merchandise in the building.
No member can Withdraw within a
year.
Any member may withdraw by
putting another person and risk in
his stead.
The rights in the association may
be transferred or the association may
refund at their option.
If property represented Is sold a
member forfeits all rights except that
of transferring.
If loss occurs it shall he adjusted
as in a regular insurance company.
Will somebody or everybody say
what they think of this and make
further suggestions?

THE SEAL ISLANDS.

Since the explosion of the silly story
that the British government had peremp-
torily demanded the release of the sealing
schooners seized in Alaskan waters bv
the United States Revenue Cutter Cor
win, the exact status of the case is be-
coming more and more of Importance to
the people of the United States. 1t will
be remembered that these schooners
were seized while in the act of taking
seals, and with large quantity of skins
on board of them, while ia the waters
claimed under Sec. 1856 of the Revised
Statutes, and for being armed with fish
guns, contrary to law. The validity of
the seizure depends upon the right of
Russia to cede to the United States
at the tir1e of the sale of Alaska, domin-
ion or control over the adjacent waters.
in which the seals are taken, and which
formed at the time of the sale the only
pecuniary advantage which passed be-
tween the parties to it. The New York
Suns special correspondent in Washing
ton has looked up the whole question and
telegraphed the following as the result:
when arrangements were made for the
formal transfer of the Territory of Alaska
to the United States, in compliance with
the terms of the treaty of purchase,
General Rousseau of the United States
Army was named as Commissioner to re-
ceive the Territory for the United States.
Prince Matsukoff, Governor of Russian
America and Governor of the Russian
American Fur Company, acted for the
Russian Government. Mr.. II. NJ. Hutch
inson accompanied General Rousseau to
Sitka in the capacity Of private secretary.
The transfer of the Territory was very
simple ceremony. 1t included the trans

MANNING TO RETIRE.

Our dispatches this morning contain
the announcement that Secretary Man
ming is to be appointed to the Austrian
court. 1t is true the announcement lacks
official confirmation, but the act, if
executed, would be so full of promise to
the Democratic party, that every man in
the land, who believes in the future
prosperity of that party, would rejoice
greatly thereat. The one great obstacle
to perfect unity between the thousands of
Democrats who delve in the earth for
subsistence, and the Administration, is
the great difference in the policy of the
Government in handling the silver ques-
ton. Manning is and has been of
goldite tendencies, and being at the head
OF financial affairs, his actions and
beliefs have placed him and the Admin
istration at enmity with the greater half
OF his party, and if continued into an
other campaign would assuredlv result
in the swamping of the Democratic can
didate, beyond all chance of recovery.
The people of America will have silver as
money and its free coinage, and it now
looks as though the mission to Austria
will be a godsend to the President. afford
ing as it does an easy way out of his
present difficulty. With Manning out OF
the way. the President could reorganize
the Treasury Department, and have a
chance to wheel into line with
the great majority OF his party
on the silver question, and thus
fuse the actual power OF the party
with the few millionaires who seek to
benefit their pockets at the expense of
the success OF the Democratic party. If
President Cleveland desires reelection.
or the election of the Democratic nominee
IN 1883, he must come to terms with the
great mass OF voters who demand free
silver and the unlimited coinage thereof.
or submit the party to ignominous defeat.
There can be no medium, either he favors
the silver men or the gold men, and sery-
Ing the latter he brings ruin on the party
that made him. The retiring of Manning
from the Treasury portfolio, offers the
President last chance to place himself
in accord with the people and insure the
future supremacyof Democratic rule.

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
WEDNESDAY,, :, MARCH 10, 1856
SENATOR EDMUNDs's SPEECH.


The speech of Senator Edmunds de-
livered yesterday, and which we pub.
lish on the third page, is a very bald
specimen Of special pleading, calcu-
lated to deceive the very elect. The
quotation Of Senator Thurman's letter
to Attorney. General Brewster Of Ar
thurs Cabinet gives to his argument
a color that 1t does not possess. Put
ina nutshell, the question at issue
between the President and the Re-
publieans OF the Senate is one OF
personal prerosstive. Mr.. Cleveland
admits that the Senate has the right
to all papers or information lodged
with him in regard TO treaties or app
pointments to office, or anything else
in which that body has joint powers
with him, but ii is not entitled to the
information on which he based the
moval Of Dustin, District Attor-
ney OF Alat anna. The fact
that President Arthur gave informa-
ton in a similar case on the demand
OF the Senate Judiciary Committee at
a time when Senator Thurman was
chairman Of It, does not justify the at
titude OF the Republican Senators
toward Mr.. Cleveland. II Arthur
had refused there was no pow
er TO compel him. And 30
with Mr.. Cleveland. AS President he
has the power Of removal, and under
the constitution is alone responsible
for removals, and II the rea:ons for re-
moving Dustin are good and sufficient
to him that is enough-it is the end o.
the matter. The Senate is entitled &c
papers and information affecting ap
pointments to office, but as 10 re-
movals 1t is not. The President il
right. He has the law and the bulk
of the presidents on his side.

science confirms the truth Of reveal.
ton. Funnier and more inconsistent
still, we teach that the science
OF astronomy is ieplete with evolu-
ton, and this theory is taught in all
the leading colleges Of the civil
lied world. Geology, as now taught in
nearly all our Universities Harvard,
Yale and Princeton-is but history
of evolution. 1t tells how the earth,
iIom a chaotic OF nebulous mass. as
sumed strstifisd form and shape by
the hand of 0mnipo.encs, and how
He developed and evolved the present
fora and fauna from others or inferior
types. 1t lie, therefore, no heresy to
believe that the earth evoluted into its
present shape; that at one time it was
an immense revolving, rotating mass
OF frightful heat; that it was for ages
cooling and condensing, during which
there were flung off large lamps,
which constitute the moon. Mean
while the evolution process went on
till the eaith's crust was formed.
which being OF unequal thickness
resulted in the lofty peaks of the
Rocky Mountains as well es the
flat and rolling lands Of the Mississippi
Valley. 1t no doubt took the earth
ages 10 evolute itself into form fit Tor
the habitation Of man, beast and vege-
tation. All natures old artisans toiled
in the work OF evolution. The rivers
labored in the grand work Of evolution,
hewed out paths through the hills and
ma lie their channels to the sea. The
seas in evoluting made endless war
upon the shores until their boundaries
were defined. The channels secured
their rights by evolution. There was
much hubbub and conflict while the
old world was evoluting, as
business was being transacted
that was to endure forever. But at
last the sunlight came. Out Of the
virgin earth the grass and flowers evo-
luted themselves into existence and
then the birds began to sing. The
seasons eYoluted themselves into ex-
istence and began their sublime pro-
cessiOns. Men must have been born in
evolution, for they have been evoluting
ever since. They evoluted into tribes,
and banded together for protection. In
the hope Of evoluting intoa higher civil
ization they adopted an unwritten code
of laws. With the acquisition Of prop
erty and territory war was born. The
battles were fought with sticks and
stones and the ccnquerors divided out
the spoils. The work Of evolution has
been going on ever since, aud it will
continue TO the end CT time.
