The Texas Alliance.

Loyal alliancemen everywhere have
reason to feel encouraged, especially
in Texas The order is gaining in
numbers rapidly, and it is, for the first
time in its existence. practically unit
upon the demands of the National ALI
ance. The membership in every nook
and corner of the state are wide awake,
and in many localities men unknown
upon the stump or forum are challeng-
ing the enemies of our order to debate
the points at issue. Ere the kalends Of
January, 1892, nearly every county will
be able to furnish competent expo
nent of our principles, who will be able
to meet the average political hummer
on the hustings successfully. The
Mercury Office is flooded with letters
asking for books, pamphlets. circulars.
etc, on political economy, discussions
of the issues of the day. We have
been unable to supply the demand, but
we are arranging SO that at an early
day we may meet the demand for any
economic publication.-Dallas (Tex J

The Caucus or the Pe0ple-Whichf
We believe that a man who Is chosen
by the people to represent their inter

should be held to strict account for
his individual action. Individual re-
sponsibility to his constituency should
be held paramount to any considera-
tions of party fealty. He has no right
to transfer that responsibility to the
control and disposal of party caucus
If the actions of the caucus accord with
his convictions of duty to those who
elected him, all right. but if he must
subordinate his views and his individ-
uality to the dictation of caucus rule,
he should not hesitate to rebel against

simply suggest that the men who did
the voting last fall may conclude that

it adopts machine methods, it will be
as bad as any. True, there is an abso-

it must be raised from those who are to
be benefited by its use, and the fight of

principles. with all their money now
distributing tons of campaign litera-

necessity for some resources for cam

In the four modes of life there are
four lines of evolution, but they are
not parallel. From the midst of plant
life springs animal life, from the midst
OF animal life springs psychic life, from
the midst of psychic life springs social
life, and each presents a distinct series
OF changes, governed by its own laws of
evolution. AS there are four kinds of
life, SO there are four kinds of evolu-
ton, four systems of laws; that is, there
are four groups of phenomena and
four methods of genesis. But in the
doctrines of evolution taught by scien-
tlic men and reiterated in the litera-
ture Of the times the four methods have
been entangled and, confused. 1t is
thus that the laws of evolution apply
ing to plants and to animals have been
supposed to be identical with the laws
of evolution of men in society, making
the doctrines of evolution opposed to
the plans of men in their endeavor to
improve their condition. The survival
OF the fttest is supposed to be a more
potent process than the endeavor for
improvement, and mercy and charity
are supposed to thwart the laws of uni
versa1 progress.

ence of large plants and animals. They
cause the putrefaction of dead bodies,
and their Transformation into gaseous,
soluble matter, to be utilized by new
plants and animals. All that lives
must die, and after death the carcasses,
the debris are decomposed, fermented,
and the air and water are thereby re
plenished with the organizable elements
necessary for the existence of species.
So it is that from the dead rise the iU-
ing, and that death is necessary to per-
petuate the races. We readily under
stand then, that bacterial existence is
of absolute necessity, though many
microbes happen to cause much injury
and disease, because they find material
fit for nourishment in other living be-
ings, such as large plants and animals.

nation. They love the flag. In spite
of all the bitterness and terrible memo
ries that have been handed down as
traditions, they admire William Tecum-
sch Sherman. They rejoice in the bold
strategy and daring genius that hast
ened the close of that fratricidal strife,
and opened q new world to the South,
though the pathway lay through a
cradle of poverty and a land OF wreck
and tomb. 1t was better so. Better
for the South. Better for the whole
nation. Better for the race. The
younger generation in the South al
ready clearly recognize this fact. Be
sides, they remember that Sherman
was a generous foe after the battle. He
loved his enemy-what there was left
of him. He extended his hand in gen
erous, fraternal greeting. He was not
a sectiOnalist. He fought for the Union
and the flag of the Union. And he
was as enthusiastic for union after the
war as before the war, wherein he diff
fered from smaller man. He was a
patriot. He was a good citizen, a ten
der, loyal, loving husband and father.
I like the man. He was @ man after
my own heart. He was frank, genial,
breezy in his humanity, and daringly
sublime in the execution of duty. He
never forfeited a friendship, and he
was a foeman worthy the steel of a
hero.
He was a manly man. His will was
indOmitable. He never grew old. He
died young. He kept abreast with the
times. He was alive to the moment of
his death. All in all, he was a man
among men, and one of the finest types
of manhood the world has ever seen.
The passing of this, the last great
leader of the civil war, reminds us that
the war is indeed becoming a matter
of history. So may it be. God grant
us peace, love, fraternity, union. God
bless the flag for which he fought, and
give us a nation worthy Of its proud
emblemsl Peace to the ashes of the
warrior hero who gave to his country
his manhood and genius! May the
Christian world learn to look upon war,
as this man, the genius of war, was
enabled to see it, and say with him:
War is He'll" "War is the Science
of Barbarism." Learning this, the
world will at last join in the universal
hymn of peace.

when the plates are immersed in a
suitable liquid and one plate illumi-
mated while the other is screened.
Uncleaned tin-foil plates in water give
a current when one is exposed to light
and the other screened. The direction
of the current depends upon the ma
terial employed, and the effect of light
is strongest at the blue end of the
spectrum. With many cells, the x
posed plate is first positive, and soon
becomes negative; while other cells
give no current after a few days, but
have their sensitiveness restored by a
slight tap or other impulse, and are
again made insensitve by a similar
impulse. The e1ectromotive force of
most of the cells tried was little more
than 20 volt but with selenium-coated
aluminium plates immersed in acetone
and exposed to strong light, ] or { volt
was obtained. With so cells in series,
the action of light was made to ring
bells, light and extinguished electric
lamps, etc.

With never a word;
How oft I cast a look of ftful sadness
Upon thy page that marks OLD 1lmes

One fam resigns.
Resigns. ~perforce, as Times effacing fingers
Recorded there through months, and weeks
Upon each page, creep on and never fingers,
But tramp always.

How the have sped without my noting when,
A glance reveals thou hast not failed in letting
Time miss thy ken.
The clock on the mantle ticks and oft astonishes,
Butst boT. silent monitor, still more admonishes
Thou takest note of seasons as they vanish;
The spring time, summer, autumn, winter go,
And leave behind no trace, with thee, to Danish

Until a month is scored, and then a page
