LIE conte's Theories of origin.

lie COnte'S Theories OF Origin
There are three possible views con.
corning the origin OF organic forms,
whether individual or specific, states
Professor Joseph lie Conte. Taking
the individual. the first Of the theories
is that of che piOus child who thinks
that he was made very much as he
himself makes the dirtpies, the second
is that of the street gaTnin, or of TOpsy
who says. 81 was not made at al, /
growed, !" the third is that of most in
telligent ChrisCians-that we were
made by a process Of evolution.
There are three exactly corresponding
theories concerning the origin of spe-
cies. The first is that Ofmany pious
persons and many intelligent clergy
men, who say that species we're made
at once by the Divine hand without
natural process, the second is that of
the materialists, who say that species
were not made at all, they were de-
rived, ''they grOWed:" and the third is
that of the theistic evolutionists, who
think that they were created by q pro-
cess Of evolntion-WhO believe that
making Is not inconsistent with grow
ING. The third, Professor lie COn6e
endeavoIs to prove, is the only true
rational solution, for it includes, COM
bines and reconciles the other two,
showing wherein each is right and
wherein wrong.-ArkanssW Traveller.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 17.-One of the
most cold-blOoded tragedies ever en-
acted in Montana occurred this morning
at Anaconda. Deer Lodge county, only
twenty miles from the place where
Scott was executed to-day for similar
crime. William Martin, proprietor of
the Planters house at Anaconda, killed
Patrick Reardon. The murder was
committed at o'clock. Reardon had
been boarding at Martins and owed the
latter So. The former was paid off
Wednesday, but did not settle his board
bill. This morning Martin found Rear
don in saloon and called him
out to talk to him. The two men
walked up the street together, and in a
few moments had some loud words,
when Martin drew revolver and struck
ReardOn on the head with the butt.
ReardOn fell to the ground unconscious.
Martin kicked him about the shoulders
add then placed his revolver at his head
and fired. The ball entered the base of
the brain ahd death was instantaneous.
Martin put his hands in his pockets and
walked off towards the mountains, no
one offering to modest him. As the Off
GERS were all attending the execution of
Scott, at Deer Lodge, special deputies
were sworn in and started in pursuit of
Martin. Now over 100 men are on the
chase. The people of Anaconda are
greatly excited and if the murderer is
caught he probable will be lynched.

~ am not inclined to answer any

you that the territories intend to have
some recognition hereafter in Demo-

trict of Columbia and the territories are
entitled to seventy delegates instead Of
eighteen. Dakota alone is entitled to
twelve on the basis of one con-
gressman to every 100000 population,
as in the states. l find Dakota has a
larger pOpulati on than any one OF
eleven states, pOlled larger aggregate
vote than any one of ten states and has
more Democratic votes than any one of
nine states, and is entitled to repreSen-
tatiOn accordingly, and we are going to
insist upon it. We are interested in
the nomination of president and the
election. We give as many electoral
votes for Democratic president as five
New England states, as Pennsylvania,
Iowa, Illinois. Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Kansas and other Northern states Our
voice is as potent in choosing a presi-
dent as Nebraska, SO far as the Demo-
cratic nominee is concerned. Hence,
we want equal representation with
these states in the national convention.
You may say there will be music in the
convention if we are denied these rights.
The territories must be recognized and
treated right We ask DO special IA
vOrs. We demand just consideration in
these matters"
Secretary Mccormack says: cal
though in New York for week past l
have not neglected the Dakota bill, and
the bill for additional judges. L believe
that our bill for admission as whole
will pass the house within a short time,
and also pass the senate. There is no
doubt of it. AS for the additional
judges, l regard that also as settled in
our favor. The opening of the Sioux
reservation seems an accomplished fact
almost. and that will do more good to
and for Dakota than any other pending
measure except admission as whole"

Mentzer read the ''Riot Act'' to the city
council last night, demanding that
MarshalS Durrell and Rickert be
bounced for not performing their duty
relative to saloon matters. He said
they must choose between the saloons

were accordingly discharged and new

union have encountered this sentiment
at every turn, and its existence had a.
significant expression in the last clause
OF the ButterwOrth bill, added since
last session. Now, however, that there
is prospect that by treaty this fishery
question is to be settled, and the Cana
dlans are about to afford to the people
OF the United States almost thd same
privileges as they themselves enjoy,
this barrier to a favorable discussion of
commercial union is removed. The
next most veXed question to be
adjusted, is the conflict how
impending between the great rail
way systems of the two cOun-
tries. The success of the new $500
route intensifieS the fact that the Can
adlan roads are free from the eXac-
tlOnS OF the interstate commerce act,
and this freedom means enormous loss
of profit to every other railroad in the
United States, which is carrying prod
uce from the West to the East, and
merchandise from the East to the West.
threatens the repeal of the bonding
system by which American produce is
conveyed through Canadian territory
without payment of duty on its entrance
into the United States. This repeal
would mean simply ruin to Canadian
roads, as without through through busi-
ness they could not pay their fixed
charges. 1t has been suggested that
Mr.. Bntterworth might, with propriety,
omit the clause referring to the fisher
les, now likely to be settled by the
treaty, and substitute another clause
which would invite concurrent legisla-
tiOn on the part of Canada, creating
provisions similar in that country to the
operation of the interstate act in this,
SO far as it affects through traffic, in
which alone the United States is inter-
ested. This movement would secure
the support of vast railway interests
threatened in the United States. and it
would also secure the advocacy of that
movement by the English owners of
Canadian railway securities whose i'll
terestS are at this moment seriously I'M
periled. Faithfully yours,

ing letter:
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 17.-Editor
Mail, Toronto: In answer to your in
quiry, beg to say that the proposed
fishery treaty, as far as its contents are
known, is, in my opinion, the best set
tlement OF an ugly quarrel that could
be arrived at under the Circumstances.
While at first glance it might be urged
that the interests of Canada had been
sacrificed, it will be found, in the long
| run, she will be gamer rather than
loser. The rigid enforcement of harsh
Interpretation of the treaty of 1918 had
produced nothing but retaliation, cul-
| minating in the passage of the retalia-
| tiOn act. The provisions of the new

| Washington, will tend to increase inter
| course between the two countries and
| remove an element of serious and dan
| gerOuS difference that was steadily sep
| arating them and threatening their
| peace. To accomplish purpose so i'm
| portant, Canada can well afford to yield
| all she will be called upon to yield.
This is especially the case when it is
| understood that this settlement will
enormously improve the prospects of
| commercial union in the United States.
Hitherto, one of the chief obstacles en-
cOuntered to discussion OF closer com
| mercial relations between the two cOun-

implied of forcing the American nation
into reciprocal arrangements, just so
long was the policy of force a positive
barrier to favorable consideration. The

WASHINGTON, Feb. .17.-The Blair edu-

O'Neill, of MisSOuri,) instructing the
public printer to enforce rigidly the
provisions of the eight-hOur law. The
amendment was adOpted--yeas 1872. nays
53-and the bill was passed. Mr.Steele,
of Indiana, presented memorial of the
authorities of the City of BlufftOn, Ind,
asking congress to discontinue the prac-
tice of passing appropriation bills for
government buildings, and instead
thereof to pass general appropriation
bill providing for the erection of post
office buildings in every town of 5000
inhabitants or over, the appropriation to
be made on the basis of inhabitants,
say not less than $1,000 for each 1000 in
habitants. The passage of such bill,
says the memorial, would prevent the
present unjust discrimination against
the smaller cities; would save the gov
erDment millions of dollars, and would
result in the erection of 1900 buildings
at an aggregate expenditure not exceed
ing $20,0O0,0OO. The memorial was re-
ferred. Adjourned till Monday.
