upon the point of his toe. None of the

ton of what it implies is due to Hux-
ley. Of it he said: when / reached
intellectual maturity and asked myself
whether was an atheist or panthe-
list, materialist or an idealist, a
Christian or a free-thinker, l found
that the more j learned or reflect
ed the less ready was the answer
So took thought and invented
what conceived to be the appropriate
title of 'agnostic.'"
This avowal of unbelief, of course,
did not prevent leaning toward some
theories as more reasonable and prob
able than others. Of the truth of the
essential facts of the Darwinian theory
he was convinced, and to its demon
stration he directed much comparative
study. Between man and the higher
orders of apes he discovered that there
was less of difference than among the
different species of apes themselves. In
lectures delivered in 1868 the idea was
developed that one matter designated
as protoplasm is common to all orders
of animal life, from the vegetable
organism up through the protozoa and
little differentiated animal organism
to the highest form distinguished as
human. From the Darwinian conclu-
sions Huxley diverged in some par
ticulars. That survival of the fittest
and prevention of degeneration in
volved a continuance of conditions of
strife he did not accept. The practice
of self-sacrifice succeeded the struggle
for existence as the law of progress for
civilized man.
AS the most eminent expounder Of
evolution and other advanced doc
trines, Prof Huxley inevitably gained
the disapproval of orthodox adherents,
who viewed him as an antagonist of
the true faith. Indeed, he was not so
violent as many who feel themselves
enfranchised after the oppression of
superstition. OF the Bible he once
spoke as the magma charta of the poor
and the oppressed. Yet, like others
who feel themselves unwarrantedly at
tackled for their opinions, he sometimes
retaliated with excessive bitterness in
iconoclastic overthrow of cherished be- |
hefs- His protracted and somewhat
acrimonious controversy with Mr..
Gladstone five or six years ago on the
miracle of the swine will be recalled as |
an illustration Of this tendency.

HUXLEY'S LIFE WORK
In Some Respects the Professor
Was q Truly Great Man.
Career of the Famous Agnostic and Con-
tributions to Scientific Literature of
Evoiution-His Controversy with
Mr.. Gladstone.

Prof. Thomas Henry Huxley, the dis
tinguished English scientist whose
death occurred June 30, at London, was
born at Ealing, in Middlesex, May a,
1925, and after mastering the rudimen-
tary studies in the local schools, fitted
himself for the medical profession under
the tutelage of his brother-in-law and
by attending courses of lectures at the
medical school of the Charing Cross
hospital. His early ambitions were to
become a mechanical engineer. The
special adaptability which he felt for
this was evidenced in his later anatom-
ical and natural history researches when
the mechanical aspects of his subject
matter most impressed him.
After receiving his degree in 1s45
Huxley passed few years in shifting
assignments as a surgeon to marine
posts. His travels enabled him to OBJ
tain empirical knowledge of many
phases Of lower animal life, of which
his collections and deductions were
made use of in London scientific peri
odicals and brought him fellowship in
the Royal society.
The active years of Prof. Huxleys
aggressive exploitation of his doctrines,
which have been distinctive enough to
justify the coming of a new name with
which to designate them, were those of
his professorship at the Royal School of
Mines. The appointment as professor
of natural history and paleontology
was offered to him in 1854, and was not
relinquished by him until 1885, when
i'll health enforced a remittance of his
incessant labors. At first with little re.
alization of his subsequent successes,
he struck off from his subject the title
of pal@ontology, although this shun.
ming Of the ancient branch of his sub
ject he did not long persist in.
Although allying himself in many
ways TO the creeds of free-thinkers,
preceding and contemporary, he found
the only unassailable ground in what
is apparently an unsettled belief, ag-
Mysticism. This term and the explica-

The Crime Against Silver Caused the
Trouble
PUT IN VERY CLEAR WORDS
Senator PIatt Says BimetallIsm Is
What the Nation Needs and a
Special Committee of the
House Backs Him Up

WASHINGTON, March S.-Senator Platt
of Connecticut SAID to-day, in an inter-
view, that very little can be accomplished
in the way of legislation to relieve the dis
tressed condition of the country until
after 1896, when he hoped the republicans
will be in power in all branches of the
government. He said:
"If measures, the consideration of
which has been blocked, should be brought
forward in the next congress, they would
doubtless come in a shapeless mass, cal
culated to do mischief. The financial
situation may improve. We hope for BIZ
metallism. and we also hope for improved
business conditions. If We should sue
ceed in securing bimetallism, that would
settle the trouble and do much to dimin-
ish the friction which now prevails with
reference TO the silver question"
A majority of the special committee of
the house appointed to inquire into the
causes of the agricultural depression has
prepared a report saying that since 1859
1.-THE purchasing capacity of a dollar to
secure the farmers land and his produce
has increased four fold, while the power
to pay his taxes and debts have remained
at a stand STILL"
Discussing the causes of the depression
the committee saws:
Class legislation OF the worst character en-
cumbers the statute books and has been carried
on to The detrIment of agriculture aud its O.
pendent Industries for % yea 5, eliminating in
the crime of the age-demonetiZation OF 81 Yer
in 1S73 The dem0netizaton Of silver was bold
stroke in the interest of capital that has re-
due d the value of every produrt in the world.
This is cOncusiyely proved by the fact that just
as silver has deprecated, in ike proportion
have all other va ues fallen in the scale. The
tariff system of taxation is not only unequal,
but as for tn past 30 years admin stored in'ths
country. is most unjust to the consumer, and
has built up trusts, combines and gigantic cor
perations tnat ave no only amaSsed immense
wealth at the expense of the people, but as
sumed control and direction Of legislation so as
to perpetuate their power and crafty their
greed
To secure relief the committee suggests:
| Firsl-That silver should be remonetized at a
| ratio Of 10 to 1.
| Second-That so long as the present unjust
| and unequal syst m of protection continues,
| agriculture should receive its Just proportion,
| and this cannot be secured by a protective
! tariff 4 bounty on exported agricultural
| staples should be allowed like that on fish in
! 1913, on which John C. Calhoun voted.
! Third-Gamb.ing in futures should be pre-
vented by law.
Fourth-A national pure food law should be
/ enacted.
A minority report is also being pre-
pared.
