NOTES AND NOTIONS.

The editors of the outlook are having
an interesting time trying to defend Dr.
LYMAN Abbott's position regarding the res
direction of Jesus The good doctor has
claimed. as we suppose the great majority
of Christians believe, that Jesus was res
directed in the identical body which died
on the cross. But he is not willing to ad-
nit that the rest of US are so to be resur-
rected Here he supports himself by Paul s
language about the spiritual body. And
when it comes to the ascension he, too.
shifts his cargo, so 10 speak, and claims
that it was only a spiritual body" which
rose into heaven, otherwise he would have
| a material heaven to deal with. Now comes
an anxious inquirer who wants to know
| what became of the common material which
| was resurrected but did rot ascend. If
the inquirer can make out what the editor
thinks from the answer in the issue OF
| September oath, he ought to receive an OPP
pointment somewhere as special interpre-
| ter.
Mr.. Arthur Smith has written an article
| in the Gentleman's Magazine to prove thai
| plants have brain power. 1t appears thai
he means rather nervous force. for he doe:
not attempt TO prove the existence of brain
or ganglia. Mr.. Smith does not produce
new facts in his field. but only attempts L
re-array the known facts and suggest hi!
conclusion. His best arguments are: Plants
sleep and manifest exhaustion when de
prived of sleep; but sleep is the rest of tn
nervous organism. Second: Certain carniv
| orous plants digest; but animal digestion
can be carried on only by means. of brail
force acting through a nerve upon tn
gastric glands; hence we may infer tn
same force for the same process in plants
1t is an interesting hypothesis. But per
hans the best argument OF all is the i'm
possibility of telling where nervous powe
disappears if we begin with man and G
down the scale.

the necessity of reform in this direction
they found on coming to power that the
Republicans had so thoroughly covered the
ground that there remained only an oppor-
tunity to change the school books, to drlVe
out the stock yards and to pass law Oh
doubtful advantage to the coal miners II
seems to form an uncommonly fine COM
pIiment for the thirty years of Republican
legislation.
When the record made by this first and
only Populist legislature is put under eX-
animation it would seem to yield plenty OF
evidence that the Populist party was the
easy vehicle through which the money
class controlled Kansas legislation. II ap-
pears 10 have been proved that Populist
LEGISLATORS were purchased very cheaply
to vote for or against any measure in
which the lobby felt an interest. After
the people of Kansas had declared for a
bill regulating the railroads in a certain
way the same lobby influence seems to
have been strong enough TO induce Pop
ulist governor to destroy the legislation
with his veto. Nevertheless it would not
be fair to charge the Populist party with
being the particular champion of capital.
These things came about because the Pop
ulist party was organized on false premises
ard because it became the rendezvous of
dcmagogues and charlatans who pushed
themselves into Office and betrayed the peo-
pie However it would be no more unfair
than is the oratory of Mr.. Boyle and other
Populist campaigners who are trying to
| humbug the ignorant with their chatter
about one political division of the Kansas
people standing up for the masses while
the other division is devoted TO the classes.

thirteen coaches each and arrived there on

Democratic Hopes.


From the New York Tribune.
1t is Il good thing for Democrats to COM
fort themselves with Republican differ
ences. 1t pleases them, and they do 1t so
loudly that it instructs the surrounding
universe. They want Republicans to fall
foul of each other about candidates or else
about factions. and they frankly say so.
They hope that some Republicans will run
outside tickets for the benefit of Demo-
cratic candidates for congress and the as
sembly and kindly say so. They are glad
to know that a nomination by an independ-
ent body is to some Republicans a hin
drance, and say SO loudly. They are to
be thanked for their candor.
1t is not necessary to go far afield to find
the source of this deep interest in Repub-
lican doings. The Democratic organizations
are under the unpleasant necessity this
year of saying yes or no on the Bryan ques-
ton That does not mean the free silver
question alone If it did. the problem would
be for many comparatively easy. A free
silver party could not carry New York un-
less the Republicans were divided, as every
one knows. But a man who holds Bryan
notions about the supreme court and about
the rights of labor or other organizations
| to get up riots without interference would
not carry any state where the people have
sense enough for self-government, and yet
| a mixture of these questions with the dis.
| like of some people for war, and of some
other people for the way the war has beer
conducted. is the total stock in trade of the
| Democratic party.
| That is a large stock. II the Republican:
see fit to enlarge it. If every man who die
| not think the war necessary, or thinks i
| was not waged exactly as 1t should have
been, betakes himself to the party of Bryan
| for expression of his feelings, the so-callet
, silver party may record some apparen
gains. But If Democrats hope to win TO
! Organism through Republican dissensioi
| they are likely to be disappointed. The av
| erage Republican is not quite destitute o
| sense. and knows that it cannot pay to pu
| political adversaries into power merely be
| cause he has faults to find with such &C
counts as he has seen Of existing condition
| or recent events.

The Frnternizing of Blu. and Gray.

sedalia Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat.
II think" said General D. II. Mcintyre.
ex-attorney general of Missouri, at MS
home in Mexico. Mo-, two or three GAYS
ago, that General Joseph Wheeler must be
the happiest man in the United states to-
day. He has had an opportunity to mani
fest his loyalty to his country.
II know" continued the veteran. that /
would have given anything l have got tor
such a chance to show how l feel now
| That was the sentiment that re-echoed
| through the gathering of Missouri eN-Coh-
| federates at Sedalia. There have been eX-
| Confederate reunions in Missouri, but never
one which breathed of the spirit which this
! one did. \ peculiar intensity prevailed in
the manifestation of patriotism by the vet
Grams at Sedaia. One could see it and hear
| it at all times. The spirit was that OF re-
| joicing over a united country.
United" said Captain Frank Gaiennie,
| of st. Louis. 's the word, not reunited Inc
| union now is something that never existed
before. And 50 l say, united is the word
| The American people are united IN sense
they have not until now realized
| The occasion was called an ex-Conteder-
| ate reunion. IN fact it was more an eH-
| Confederate gloriication of the war just
| waged with Spain and the fruits of 1t. Com
| rades talked of the experiences OF lsel-o,
| and then passed to the events of 1888 by a
| transition so sudden and yet so natural that
| it told of what was in every mind. How
| these ex-Confederates rejciced in the
| chance that had been given to the South TO
! do its share in the present war. The proud
| est men among them were those who had
| sons enlisted in the army of to-day. Inc
| Rev Thomas NJ. Cobb, of Lexington, pre-
| siding elder of the Methodist church, was
| with Lee Thomas NJ. Cobb Jr., Went
| worth college boy, is adjutant of the f11th
| Missouri. AS he moved among the veterans
renewing friendships of the civil war times
the elders pride as he spoke OF Tom
wearing the blue was good to see. And
there were others. 1t seemed, as they ex-
changed notes, as if every one of these ex-
Confederates had sons or nephews in the
American army and was prouder to dwell
upon that than of anything he himself had
done as a soldier for the Confederacy.
Brigadier General Sam Kennard, looking
down from his big bay horse, noted that
the procession was composed of veterans OF
both sides in the civil war, marching to-
gether with their sons now soldiers of the
United States. He spoke more truly than
he knew. Captain Fulkerson's company OF
the Fifth Missouri, escorted the Confeder'
ates and the Grand Army men. A member
of that company recently had the curiosity
| to poll the members and to find how many
| of them were sons of veterans. A can
| vass of eighty-seven members showed tina
| all but five had fathers who were eithel
| Union or Confederate soldiers. What coulc
have been happier than the sons in the uni
| form of their country leading the Confed
crate and Union fathers to Liberty park.

Professor Fairhurst. of Kentucky univer-
sftv has lust administered the coup de grace
or something of that sort to the theory
OF evolution It is not quite fair for the pro-
fessor to attack the poor old theory be-
lore it had recovered from the shock given
Il by Brother Jasper, of South Carolina.
But the South has been quite united in its
hostility to the doctrine of descent, and
perhaps it was not to be wondered at that
another blow should come from the same
quarter. Professor Fairhurst has decided
after a careful examination of the universe
that not less than half a dozen distinct
flats were required to bring 1t up TO lis
present stage. He also agrees with the late
Hugh Miller that the days" of Genesis
were indefinite periods of time. Evidently
Mr. Fairhurst thinks that it takes some
time to get ready for a fiat. This eonsid'

This is a kindly old world and often
those who perform good deeds receive re-
wards as generous as they are unexpected.
One day last week little Miss Lola Beverly
was going from school to her home in Burl-
ingame when she noticed car standing
on the main track of the Santa Fe branch.
She knew that a train might soon be ex-
pected and so she walked out the track
about half mile and tagged it when it
came along The engineer told her that
the car had been left on the main track
purrosely and that he intended to pick it
up as he went along. She begged his pardon
for bringing the train TO a stop and inter-
fering with railroad business. but the engi-
| neer said he was just as much obliged as
| though she had really saved his train from
| collision. When Miss Beverly's perform
ance became known to the town everybody
| ioked her numerically and she began to
! feel pretty bad about it, but in few days
along came a nice letter from the Santa
Fee Superintendent in which she was
| thanked for her thoughtful act and asked

ANSWERS A BY ALGER.
Gives tho Inside Hi-tOry OF tho Campaign
nnd Explains tho Various
Movements.

|
retary Alger today sent to the war
investigating commission his reply
to tho six questions asked him as to
the plans of the Santiago campaign
and their methods Of accomplish
ment. The secrotary's answer is an
outline Of the Cuban war from the
war department standpoint. He
also sent copies Of numerous tele.
grams to General Shafter regarding
the start from Tampa and also IL
copy Of instructions to General
Miles regarding the Porto Rico cam =
paign.
The information given by the SEQ,
retary in response to the commits
Sion question was:
l. Plan of campaign proposed i'm
modiately after the declaration of
war; was it intended to move at once
on Havana or that the campaign
should be postponed until the au-
tumn?
Answer-lmmediate blockade by
Tie navy Of the important ports of
Cuba as directed by the presidents
proclamation. Tho holding of troops
at points nearest to Cuba to be
available i'll any emergency which
might arise, and especially to be
ready for prompt assistance in case
the operations of tho navy should
mako the use Of the land forces no.
ccssary or desirable.
Early in May plan was partially
maturod to land force Mt Meriel, a
point about twenty six miles west Of
Havana, reports having been re-
ceived that in it's immediate vicinity
were high grounds, woll watered
and suitable for camping troops pre-
paratory for movement upon Havana
later it it was deemed advisable, the
thought being that possibly an as
s"ult might be made upon the forces
defending that city before the rainy
season set in. Orders were issued tc
that effect on May 8, but subse-
quenty plans were changed on ao.
count Of further Information that
there would be great danger to the
health of tho troops in that vicinity
and also on account of the uncertain
ty OF the movements Of the enemy's
fleet. It was then determined tc
keep the United States troops at
points as near Cuba as possible fol
immediate embarkation should az
emergency demand it. The Santa.
go campuin proved to bo that emcr-
gency. 1t should ne added, further
that 1t was believed, after consulta
ton with medical authorities, that
troops camping in Southern States
during tho summer would become
somewhat acclimated for their ser
vices in Cuba.
Z. When WAS the Santiago cam.
p"'gn determined upon?
Answer-The Santiago campaign
was made necessary by the Dresrnco
Of Admiral Cervera's fleet in Snntin-
90 harbor, but had previ ,usly been
contemplated as one point on the
coast where a reconnaissance in force
was t" be made to ascertain tho
strength OF th" enemy in the differ
e1t locations in eastern Cuba.
The immediate obstruction of ADJ
