CREATION OF THE WORLD.
More Than Six Days Required, Ac.
cording to DIR. Hirsch.

Chicago Oct. 26.-At the Temple Of
Israel last night DR.. Emil G. Hirsch
declared his absolute disbelief in the
first chapter of Genesis and babe his
congregation discard it as an article
of faith.
"Religion, biology and astronomy, :
he declared, "have each given evidence
that make it impossible to believe that
the world was created in six days. 1t
is impossi BILE also to give serious con-
sideration to the efforts that have been
made to reconcile science and religion.
.'All nations'' said DIR. sHirsch,
''have their idea Of the creation OF the
world, and in every case the creation
has been ascrlbed to their favorite
gods The world has gradually pro-
gressed from polytheistic monocheistlc
ideas and there is no doubt that the
first chapter Of Genesis is simply a
relation by some Jewish writer OF the
stories told b the Babylonyians which
the Jews had carried from their cap
tlvity IN Babylon six hundred years
before Christ. =

ACKNOWLEDGES The HONOR.
A Letter OF Interest From Mr.. Morris
of Georgia.

Mr.. J. Gld Morris of Marietta,
Georgia. lately caused a handsome
monument to be built on the battle
field. marking the spot where General
| Leohidas Polk fell in defense of con-
stitutional liberty.
At the last meeting of Leonidas
Polk BivOuac,' No. 3. and William
Henry Trousdale Camp. No. 495. here
in Columbia, the Confederate veterans
passed resolutions thanking comrade
Morris for what he had done. AMI
electing him an honorary member of
the Bivouac.
Secretary Smith sent Mr.. Morris an
official copy of the resolutions and
certificate of membership.
The reply, which was received by
mail this morning, will doubtless be
of interest, and is as follows:
Marietta, Georgia. October 23rd.

and SECRETARY; and Messrs. Nj. B.

of a monument, by my wife and my
self, to marx the spot where Lieut..
General Polk met his death, has been
received and also that | have been
honored by your Bivouac by having
been made an honorary member OF the
same.
/ wish to assure you that l deeply
appreciate the honor you have con-
TERED on me in so doing. In erecting
a monument to mark the spot where
Lieut.. Gen. Polk was killed, no mo-
tive prompted me, other than to pre-
serve and keep alive in the minds and
hearts of all generations the memory
of most gallant and fearless, as we'll
as the purest and most lovable chris
tian soldier. It was indeed work OF
love. I cannot say more than that.
l wish to assure you that it would
afford me great deal of pleasure to
meet with your Camp in person, and
shake the hands of many of the brave
men who fought under General Polk.
Again thanking you for this kind
ness, and assuring You that | deeply
appreciate the same, and wishing Tor

Revive Us Again!"

We do not desire to become facetious and make
reference to the Democratic rally at Georgetown
Tuesday evening simply by way of retaliation. The
Republicans held big rally i'll that city and the
opposition inclined to ridicule it. The Demo-
Gratis advertised a rally and grand excursion that
never rallied nor did it excursionate. J. H. Robe
came down in the afternoon for the purpose of
arousing enthusiasm and attendance to hear Sena-
tor Teller at Georgetown but he faxed and not to
exceed three tickets were sold.
As matter of fact, Senator Teller did not ap-
pear He wired that he had by mistake taken the
train to Greeley instead of the one to Georgetown
The people here were lothe believe this, howev-
er, he told the people of Central City that that
city had been his home for forty-one years and
there is where he cast his ballot for the past forty
years. Under such circumstances it is hardly fair
took the wrong train.
A subscription will be taken up time dur
ing the week for the purpose of purchasing the
senator morocco bound state directory that he
can refer to it occasionally and find out where he
lives and what line of railroad reaches his home
city. Mrs. Grenfel1 who was to have spoken
also, lives in Central City and was elected from
Gilpin county. Why they should have taken the
wrong train by mistake" is a proposition that is
worrying the Democrats here. There was no ex-

A Deserved Promotion.

1t was good news the old friends of 7. E. Bar
nett received this week when the announcement
was made that he had been promoted to the posi-
ton of travelling passenger and freight agent in
Colorado for the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railroad. Mr.. Barnett was formerly the Colorado
& Southern agent at Idaho Springs and was one of
the best the city had, not only hustler for
the interests of the road, but hustler for the in
terests of the people of the city we'll
He was practically the father of the theater
cursion idea and remarkably successful in
sending out these excursionists from the city. He
is a typical railroad business builder and is always
aveto the interests of the road.
From this point he transferred to Black
Hawk against the wishes of the people who real
lied what he doing for Idaho Springs. Then
he again transferred temporarily to Boulder
and while at that point we understand he was ad-
vised of his promotion 1t is related that the Mil
waukee asked the Colorado & Southern official in
Denver whether they had who could fill the
position not, and Mr. Barnetts name was the
first mentioned.
Barney will do some hustling for the Mil
waukee and when he to Idaho Springs he
can always look for nice little bunch of business.

The Heightened Democracy.

Our contemporary, the Gazette, appears to
be t1ihe exclusive in its nature Last wear
it abused the Republicans in the county
election because they were represented as
the paper stated, "by foreigners and Grip
pies" This wear it does not go quite as far
but succeeds in venting its insulting spleen
by referring to the members of the Orpheus
Male Chorus of Denver as g vaudeville ar
lists" w l.. Norlin, the attorney of that
city, is also placed in the list. If the
Gazette people will come out and hear the
: gifted gentleman from Denver, Mr.. Norlin,
. they will find that he knows as much as any
of the Gazette stockholders, although born
under the folds of foreign flag and adopted
by the stars and stripes. 1t will find the
gentlemen who represent the membership of
the Orpheus chorus the representative bust
ness men of Denver. The Republican party
does not claim to be representative of any
one particular hightoned class in the county
The men who represent the business sense
and the business ability the men who toll
and earn their bread by the sweat of their
face are good enough for members of the
Republican party the world over, no matter
what their nationality, and they are not
vaudeville artists" because they happen to
represent foreign birth.
