Has It Evoluted From tho Brutal Yell

Just as the hoof Of the horse Is the

arose from the same source; that the
first human laugh that ever woke the
astonished echoes Of gloomy primeval
forests was not an expression Of mirth.
but exultation over the misery Of q
tortured enemy.
There is to this day something ter
rible in laughter. The laugh Of madness

curious in such matters we can probe
into the nature Of the changes that have
passed over the fashion Of mems humor.
For it has been said. not without the
support Of weighty cumulative evidence
that, as We penetrate further into the
past, We find the sense Of humor de-
psnding always more obviously and
solely upon the enjoyment Of the pain,
misfortune, modification OF embarrass-

Of our bumptious species!
Putting ear to our photograph, we
catch the echoes Of q strange and merry
tumult; boisterous. cruel, often brutal,
yet with here and there a tender cadence
from some solitary voice; and presently
this lonely note grows stronger and

Now for Peace and Prosperity.
Proctor, Morgan Co.. No

The great election is oveT now
for peace, business activity and
prosperity. We have passed
through . momentous contest
which has shocked the country al.
most Az much as war itself. 1t is
to the credit of the people that
they should have preserved their
tempers and gone through CAM
palgn like this without serious
clashing and without trouble be-
tween the opposing interests. But
though they kept their tempers
save OIL rare occasions, the bust.
ness interests felt the effect OF tho
battle between the two standards,
the uncertainty, the lack of conf.
dence that prevailed and doubt as
to the result. AS the campaign
progressed this uneasiness increas.
ed, until nearly every line Of bust
ness was stagnant and the whole
people watched to see how the strug-
gle would end aud what would fol
low it.
1t is over now. Let us all join
heartily in a movement to end the
feeling of depression that has pre-
vailed, to restore confidence and
to revive business. If what the
supporters of Mr.. Mckinley say is
true, this revival ought to be east
er and come in shorter time than
we had hoped for. 1t is claimed
that we have $500, 100000 of gold
boarded away, a large per centage
of it in the South. For weeks
past timid persons, fearful OF the
result of the election and looking
for some sort of National cata-
clysm, have taken their money out
of circulation and stored it away,
waiting to see what was going to
happen. This increased the lack
of confidence and the scare and
prevented business from reviving
as it might otherwise do. Now
that the fright is over, now that
the world can remain quite certain
that there will be no more change
in our financial policy for four
years, this money should come into
| active business again and assist i'll
the opening of trade, the construc'
ton of factories, aud in general
business. Let the bankers, bust
