The reported death by smallpox at Alicante,

A. Freeman, is an event of more than ordinary
interest Learned beyond most historical writ
ers. liberal in his political opinions. more in
dustrious than, perhaps. any historian of the
age. except Ranks, DIR. Freeman has contrib

English history and to a comprehension Of
comparative politics more than any other man
OF our generation. To the Swiss and Ameri-
cans. as well as to thu radical Englishmen. his
labors have been we'll pleasing and nowhere

The New York senate has adopted a Joint
resolution providing for the settlement of con-
tested seats in the legislature by the courts.
The measure met with small opposition, the
recent performances of the state board of can
vassers having convinced the republicans that
they have more TO expect from the Judiciary
than from an opposition board, while the dem
oernss could not well repudiate proposition
advocated by Gov. Hill short time ago. The
plan has features to recommend ii not only to
the legislature OF New York. but also to the
Congress Of the United States. 1t may affect
unfavorably those judges already inclined to
render partisan decisions. but as the large ma
jority of judges ia both state AMI federal courts
are non-partisans on the bench this objection
Ia not lnsurmOuntaDle. The present system is
as PARTISAN as il can be-

The simian origin Of man, while advocated
has not been admitted by others equally emf
nent Prof. yirchow at the Vienna Anthro-
biological Congress notices the fact that al
though the Darwinian theory made its first
victorious mark twenty years ago men of
science have III vain sought for the inter-
mediate stages which were supposed to con-
meet men with the apes. He further SAYS that
We cannot even prove the descent OF the sepa-
rate races from one another. He seems to be-
heve in the diverse origin Of the races. and
not as the late NJ de Quatrefages did in uni
tary origin But the most significant part of
his address, perhaps. so far as il has fallen
under the observation OF THE STAR, is that
in which he says: Every living race
Is still human; no single one has
yet been found that we can designate as simian
or quasi-simian. Even when in certain ones
phenomena appear which are characteristic of
apes-e- g., the peculiar ape-hke projections Of
the skull in certain -aces-still We cannot say
that these men are ape-Eke." The missing links
are not found, the theory Of the descent of
man Is unproven. and as yet it cannot with GER
tainty be maintained that the theory of evolu-
tion can be stretched so far as to include the
simian origin of the human race. The general
doctrine OF evolution stands in its outline,
though the burden Of proof still rests on those
who would carry evolution beyond the border
line which separates the human from the lower
animal

Indian Rights Association and representa-
tive red men. ami seems in its spirit
and details to embody practical IDEAS The
effect o, the measure would be the fnrtherance
of the liberal policy OF the government in the
matter OF the education of the so-called abo-
rhymes by providing for their industrial and
higher education Over $1,000 pupils are
already enrolled in the Indian schools. The
present purpose 10 largely to educate those who
shall lead the barbarian aud semi-civilized
tribes to more exalted notions Of life and civ
Iization- The conquering Spaniards in the
sixteenth century found traces on this and the
southern continent Of fairly advanced civili-
zation not derived, in all probability, from any
European or Asiatic system, unless very re-
motely. Some, at least. Of the invaded peoples
were of the same stock as the existing red men
and had in long ages developed into something
like the early civilization Of Babylonia and the
later civilization Of China and Japan. The
architecture was superior to that OF the two
latter countries. The mound builders, whether
of this race or not, were a copper-molding and
tenple-raising agricultural nation and worked
ont alone the grea. problems Of government,
of the domestic arts, of war and of peace. The
best tribes of the modern red men have a
cranial development ON its intellectual side,
according to some authorities. higher than that
of the mound builders and Of the human figures
on the ruins of Mexico and Central America
The American Indian of the finest type is
capable Of a considerable progress.
