the tom-toms of the southern Democratic
press. His opening speech was at Sena-

another Richmond in the field. in the

time in defense of the So-called terrible

hours debate was over Mr.. George was
MT handSomer than he was when the de-
bate commenced. But he was great deal
wiser. He found out that Mississippi
audience was not willing to admit that
the measure was unconstitutional on
Mr. Georges say so, unless by argument
he was able to prove it; that the say-so
argument was played out in Mississippi.
Then Mr.. George started ont fresh
again, as quick as he had recovered from
the knock down blow that Mcdowell
had given him, only at the next place to
lind still another Richmond in the field
in the person Of Hon. E. Barksdale,
whose arguments were eff such charac-
ter that Senator George was not able to
answer them, and when he undertook it
his speech fell so flat on the audience
that he got angry and commenced the
regular tactics of the low-bred poll
tican. He resorted to abuse for argu-
ment, and, as Mr.. Barksdale refused to
indulge in that, Senator George is now
wondering why the people will not turn
out to hear him. The schoolmaster has

Why Alliance Men Join the People.
Party.

The question, what will the Alliance
do with the new party? is on the lips of
tens of thousands OF anxious people to-
day. Well, it ought not to take much
wisdom to answer that question. The
new party has adopted the Alliance de-
mands into its platform. Does any one
suppose intelligent Alliance men will
vote against a party that adopts those
demands and in favor of party that
not only fails to adopt but resists those
demands? The Western Alliance States
have already gone into the new party.
Will not the necessity for Alliance unity
force the other Alliance States to go into
the new party also? We see no way TO
prevent the new party from sweeping
the country, except the simple one Of
cheerfully conceding to the people every
one of their just demands. If the Al
lance men are to be blamed for going
into the new party, then hungry child

A SPEEDY way of forwarding the
mails was some years ago proposed by
an English engineer, and its novelty
caused wide discussion of its practicable
ity. The letters were to be enclosed in
durable iron shell, which was to be
fired at bank OF earth six miles dis
tant. There it was to be projected on
the second stage of its journey; and SO
on until it reached it's destination. By
this plan, the inventor thought, 1.-THE
mails could be dispatched from New
York to Philadelphia in fifteen minutes,
or from New York to Chicago in two
hours and half.

WASHINGTON, for its size, is small
place. It's street lamps are not lighted
on nights when the almanac says the

Washington, the weather bureau isn't on
speaking terms with the almanac, the
results Of this custom are bad, especially
for the stranger Then, again, there
are few sheeblaclls; the hotels do not
all have them, and the streets are not

The latest investigations show that
bacteria are spheroidal, rod-hke, or
spiral. Under the most powerful mi
croscores they are fourd to have a
granular mass in the center, surrounded
by thin, structureless membrane.
Under favorable conditions, with plenty
of food, they drive across the middle,
each part growing longer and again
subdlviding, and so on indefinitely. If
this should go on for few weeks these
minute animals would become so num-
erous that they would use up all the
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
there is available for life purposes.
But their increase is limited by the
facts that the food supply gives out, the
sun is their deadly enemy and they ex-
hale various chemical substances that
are poisonous to themselves and each
other.
