The sIad Scene from "The Professor. >

The scene at the end OF Mr.. WILSON'S
closing speech was worthy of the absurd
mountebank character Of the bill to which
II was devoted. Among such wild cheers as
hail the greatest feat OF the prize clown in tho
circus. Professor WILSON ended his speech.
The Hon. CLIFTON II. BRECKENRIDGE Of
Pine Bluffs and the Ways and Means Com
mittee. gave way TO the emotional Arkansas
temperament, and fell upon the Professors
bosom, presumably much to that gentle
mans surprise. The Hon. WILLIAM JES-
SINGs BRYAN. the Boy Orator OF the Platte
and the Hon. HENRY ST. GEORGE TUCKER OF
Virginia. who has all the nlayfulness OF a
boy OF forty. led the rush forward and
grabbed Brother WILSON. and with the aid
of other enthusiasts bore him in triumph
on their shoulders to the committee rooms
where his great bill was born. 1t was
dlgnitled and seemly performance, and must
have given deep joy to the Professor.
Who can read without wonder OF the
crazy exultation OF the so-called Democrats
In the House over the passage of a bill that
dishonors the Democracy, and perhaps con-
demns ii tn disaster for years What the
country thinks OF the WILSON bill was
shown in the Congress elections in this city
last Tuesday. The House gave no heed to
the warning. but went on To pass the WILL
son bill; and so-called Democrats dsported
themselves like madmen.
There are plenty OF historical parallels

Evolution.

To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
The idea of your correspondent, that
the deterioration of n breed Of hogs,
under the circumstances he mentions,
goes to disprove the doctrine of evolu-
ton, and that of the sO-called ..law of
the survival of the iittest" is one very
commonly held, hui 1t is a mistaken
one. 1t is based on two misconcep-
lions of what evolutionists teach. 1t
supposes that s'%evolutIon" means an
upward progress, an improvement
according to mans ideas of what is
good and bad, useful and nOxiOus.
But this is not the case. The evolu-
tionists teach that there can be a down
hill evolution, according to our stan
dards, as well AS an evolution of
improvement, according to u stan
dards. Secondly, ''the iittest" does
not mean the best, according TO our
standard, but the best fitted To survive
in a given environment. For instance,
the beauty of flowers serves to attract
insects that carry the fertilizing dust
from the male and leave 1t on the
female flowers. But the sage hen of
the Rocky Mo untains has survived
because It's sober, brown-grey coat
makes it an object difficult to see
against the soil aud among the herbag e
of its habitat. That which attracts
notice is the ''fittest" in one case,
whilst that which escapes notice is the
''fittest" in the other.

FELLOW CITIzENs.-Wake up, the
bugle calls, the advance is sounding all
along the line. The drum beats, then
to its taps let us keep step.
We are moving and b~reathing.m n
rapid age. All around us are rushing
onward, striving and battling for adj
vantage, wealth, fame and prestige.
Then let us pour in hot shot of
brains, great guns of effort, broadsides
of cooperation in old Lexington's in
terest. Let us ever be writing, talking
and advertising her great advantages,
until all who contemplate making n
change, who would operate in new
fields, know of, and come TO Lexing-
ton. We are on the right road, and
are sure to win, If we continue to force
the fight for such improvements rs will
make Lexington a desirable place in
which to live. Loan your money, do
business, educate your children, having
all Christian privileS and good
society.
w have many drones and skulkers,
those who should lead, will not even
follow. Let them alone, when the
battle is fought and won, they will fall
into line and be the loudest mouthed
and demand u pension.
We want a city hall. Christ was
born in a Manager, but that IL no reason
why LexingtOn's town hall should he
in the southeast corner of Il livery
stable. Let us have such n n rs we
will all be proud of, and such Il one AS
Lexington should have, not where II
now is, on u narrow side street, and
unpleasant surrounding. Let us w
our water works and our electrict light
plant. 1t can be done if you will but
examine into the matter.
Let us become a city of third class.
i There are now only about six cities
with special charters like ours left in
the state. All others who have become
cities of third class are pleased and
satisfied with the change. Surely we
can follow where they have dared to
lead. Proof of the pudding with them
was chewing the bag.
We want better railroad service.
They were given their franchise, not
alone to make money, but TO subserve
the wants of the country, cities and
towns through which they pass.
Work for better roads that lead Ia
and from Lexington, that your trade
may be advanced. You are indirectly
taxed for roads, when by the law you
are exempt; you are entitled To consid-
Grafton from that fact by our county
court. Let us fight all along the line,
for all that is in sight, even for getting
shed. of that sand bar in our city's
front. Remembering that an appro-
priation was asked for with which Ia
buy grounds bctween Central College
and the river, and make u national
park out Of the old battle ground.
Where are Joe Wilson, William Young
and others, who n few years since,
were active in this matterP do not let
this matter sleep. Have Senator Cock
rell spur up the committee To whom II
was referred, with a view of getting an
appropriation of $1,000 AS a starter.

A Baking Powder to Avoid.

The ~housekeeper will do well to keep
her eye upon the schemes designed 10
force upon her dangerous and fraudulent
baking powders. The latest is the can
yasser for one of the inferior powders,
who solicits orders for half pound
boxes, to he filed by the grocer Ia whom
he turns them over, at twenty-five cents
each, of which fifteen cents is Ia be
paid in cash, and the balance in a ten
cent rebate check which the solicitor
leaves with the consumer. The object
of the scheme is Ia make the house
keeper think she is getting twenty-five
cents worth of baking powder for fifteen
cents.
The inferiority of such baking powder
is clearly shown by the fact that the
manufacturer can sell it for twenty
cents Il pound below the price of the
standard brands. A baking powder
that can be sold at these rates should be
avoided, us the materials alone required
for IA pound of pure and wholesome
powder cost twice as much. a recent
Investigation by the government shows
that a half pound of alum baking
powder costs about one and u half cents.
These are the powders that are sold 10y
such schemes rs those described. Alum
baking powders are rank poison To many
constitutions, but if people wish Ia buy
them, they should not pay owe five cents
a pound for them, and then they would
yield a profit of one hundred Ter cent
over cost la THEN manufacturers.

THE STRIKE.

The country Is just now experiencing
one Of the greatest strikes in the his
tory of railroads. The strike has grown
from a disagreement between the
Pullman Car company and a handful of
men, to a national affair that effects all
business interests, stops internal COM
merce and stagnates the trade of the
country.
The question with the people is not
who will win, the car company or the
strikers, but when will it be settledP
1t is indeed unfortunate that just fol-
lowing a national panic, a time when
dollars had apparently assumed the
size of a fortune, when every business
interest has been running at a loss, a
disagreement has arisen which has
made the pillars of trade tremble from
base to summit.
The daily papers recount scenes Of
bloody riot between the United States
officers and the strikers. Law seems
to be inadequate, or else the fault lies
in its execution.
Whatever may be the merits of Mr..
Pulman's employees, however sub
stantial may be their claims, public
sentiment and public assistance is
withdrawn as Don as they begin to
wreak their vengeance upon innocent
parties. 1t is unfortunate that such
strikes can be enacted.
There is a screw loose, somewhere,
and our Legislative bodies must look
for 1t.
II the present conditions be the
fault of organized capital, then laws
controlling that capital should be
enacted. Ii it be the cause of organ
lied labor, then labor must be taught
the bounds of It's jurisdiction and pre-
vented from enacting such calamiiies.
Labor and capital must be brought
/ into closer touch, and made to more
fully realize their distinctive offices.
These differences should be arbitrated
in some way, or at least governed in a
manner that they can not affect
innocent parties.

The SENATE VOTES.

At q late hour, on Tuesday evening
last, the senate took q final vote on the
tariff bill. BY a majority of five the
bill was passed. only one democrat,
Hill, veting against it.
Thus after q long, tedious and fruit
less debate of over three months the
supposed conservative and august body
of the national legislature has put
itself on record regarding the greatest
issue that has presented itself for solu-
ton since the civil war.
The American people had realized
the devastation and robbery Of protec-
tive tariff, elected a majority of the
upper and lower house, who were
solennly pledged to '.tariff for revenue
only" The only logical conclusion II
democratic victory was that words
would be changed to actions and that
legislative robbery would be stopped in
a few weeks after congress had con-
vened. Such was not the case, how
ever. About one-half a dozen protec-
tive tariff, SO called, democrats we're
elected and these men, holding the
balance of power and cleaviag to their
sectional favor and personal ends, laid
their craftsmanship and patriotism
aside, and as a consequence, have
forced their colleagues to adopt a bill
that is but a little better than the
Mckinley advocates placed upon the
statute books. The senate has moi
settled the tariff question. The lower
house Of congress, which is coordinate
and not subordinate, will have some
thing to say before tariff legislation is
enacted.
Mr.. Wilson has signified his deter.
mination not to yield to the senate's
amendments, and the hope. of democ.
racy and the hope of the country i.
that the tariff reform apostles col.
leagues will stand firm to the position
taken upon the issue when the Wilson
bill was before them.
'If tariff for revenue" is only 9
theory, not practical, then the demo.
cratic party is without a mission, and
the American people who voted with II
in 1890 and 1892, are self-confessed an
ignorant people, unable to Judge whal
they want and incapable of investigat.
ing and forming conclusions of the
issues Of government.
The truth of the situation IS that thu
people have been betrayed by a hal
dozen senators, and that the circum
stances were such that this handful o.
men had the balance of power ant
have used it in their t~reachery an,
deceit.
For the three months that have beer
wasted in wind no excuse a b.
offered. The country now asks tina
definite action be FASTENED and tina
the house serve immediate notice tina
it will stand firm to the Wilson bill
The senate bill may be better than tn,
