In compliance with his promise,
Hon. j. II. Mcdowell has made
a statement in answer to the aft
davits furnished the American al
leging that MCDOWELL had been a
Republican Office holder in Desha
County, Ark, that he was a mem
Der of the Infamous Loyal League
during the reconstruction period,
the deputy under negro clerk and
was the habitual companion Of ne
groes. From a hurried review Of
the affidavits we find that some Of
the men who made these charges
in the American make a direct con-
tradiction in the afidavits furnish
ed Mcdowell. The effect Of this
has stimulated the American to
produce further evidence, and pub
lie judgement will be suspended
until all the evidence has been sub
mitted.

These enormous periods of time DO not,
however, seem tos satisfy the demands of
the biologists and the supporters of the
Darwlnian theory. Judging ''from the fact
that almost the whole of the tertiary period
has been required to convert the ancestral
orohippus into the true horse, Prof. Huxley
believes that in order to have time for the
much greater change for the ancestral ungu-
lata into the two great oid-toed and even
toed divisions (of which change there is nc
trace, even among the earliest eocene mans

not the whole, of the mesoZoic or secondary
period" and still longer periods are de-
manded for the evolution of other animals
so that, on the lowest estimate we must
place the origin of the mammalia very far
back in pal8ozoic times" Mr. Wallace

WE print an editorial from the Phila
delphia Ledger in another column which
will make good reading for the moralists
Of the party here which manipulates the
negro vote. The Ledger is Republican
paper but is evidently not run on the
same set Of principles which govern the
Morning News, In regard to the pur-
chase Of tax receipts Judge Fell said
The man who should have his grocery
bin or any other debt paid Tor him as an
inducement or consideration to get him
10 vote would be held clearly TO violate
this section. Yet in principle there Il
no difference between paying his taxei
and paying any other Of his debts.
In commenting on this the Ledge,
says:
Tax receipts bought wholesale b.
political committees, without authorize
ton from the voters, do not qualify th
latter to vote.
That would imply that the men VIII
subscribed the money to equip the 400
voters here, and the post office commit
tee who made the bargain we're In col
9 spirAcy to defeat the law, and that the
( are as guilty before the Ia
, as the collectors who sold II
Q receipts, and that they are a
equally guilty with the ignorant regro'
! who sold their votes for tax receipts,
, grocery bills, or for any other valuab
4 consideration directly or indirectly IT
. Ledger fails to mention that those vote
\ whose votes or bought with tax reoeip
i or with grocery bills, or with sum
i money paid direct are as harmful to t
state as worthless TO themselves. TIL

4 which has no principles
