HE KNOWS TOO MUCH.

It is all very well, perhaps, for a learn ed man like Dr. Lyman Abbot to assert that no such man as Adam ever lived. If we discard the scriptural accounts. perhaps 1t would be hard to prove it. How do we know that Alexander. or Cae- sar or Cromwell ever hved3 No person Is living who saw either of them, and we only know through history that there were such men. If we deny their exist case except by referring us to what is written7
 Is not the account of Adams existence as authentic as is that of Moses, or of Noah, or of any other Biblical charac- ter? How do we know anything of which we have no personal knowledgef How do we know that there was a man named Isaac? Did pr. Abbot ever see and talk to Abraham? Has he any letters from PotIphar's wife? Isn't he getting into deep water? However, that makes no diff ference when a man wants a contro- versy.
 And there's another point to this view of the case that mixes us all up. If there was no Adam, isn't it at least req sonable to suppose that there was no Eve? What need would there have been for Eve without Adam. She would have no one to get up and start a fire in the stove, or to hold off the calf at milking time. or to hustle around to find fresh eggs, to say nothing of having no one to charge it to when the chimney smok- ed, And then, again, what would have become of that command to multiply and replenish the earth" if there was no Adam?"
 No, we positively refuse to have Adam put out of the game. He is too import ant member of the human family to | be dispensed with, and his personality is too necessary in the scheme of creation for us to view with unconcern any at tempt to knock him out, If there was no Adam. there was no creation, and where would that leave us?

Letters to the Editor.
The Rankhaad Bill.

Editor The Advertiser:
 notice in your news columns that the Senate Committee, in considering the Bankhead election bill passed by the last House, and sent to the Senate. has agreed on the bill with few amendments. The bill referred to, returned to the system of numbering and marking ballots Tor identification, actually allowing the voter to write his name on the back; while 1t comparison of ballots after an election. except in case of contest. the numbering and marking of ballots enables the man who Is out to buy his election to Identity ballots and to know whether or not the goods have been delivered and the con- tract kept. It will promote contests Tor that very purpose. It promotes bribery and makes 1t possible for rich men to hold all the offices. The idea Of the people and public sentiment demands Ialr elections and the purity of the baliot, put this is not the way to secure It; tnlnk 1t is concession enough to anybody, and abundantly sufficient, to allow each can didate to have manager at the polls; for you and l very well know that we will never have a fair election again. until public sentiment compeis 1t, and honest men are appointed managers or elections That is, men whe 1t is known will not change a ballot or deal falseiy with returns. The legislature Will fall far short of the intention of the Con stitutional Convention if 1t does not make some provision to secure fair elecuons and to prevent fraud in elections in any shane; but how to do it is now the ques- tion. Public sentiment is rapidly cris- talking in favor of fair elections and We will have them in the near future:

LOCATED THE TROUBLE IN THE
 WRONG SPOT.

The following is from The coosa River News:
 There is a lame place in the arm of that mighty, potential and solid old jour nal, The Montgomery Advertiser, which a large clientele of its friends through out the land would love to see corrected. iThe Advertiser is lax in eminent ethics. turned its hand on Sunday baseball In Montgomery and checkmated this slur on the otherwise fair escutcheon Of that venerated old city. No man questions, !who actually appreciates the men. the Iresolute honor, tenacious catholicity. su- lblime fairness, genuine patriotism and lbrave independence of Major William Wallace Screws, Mir. Frank P. Glass, Major J. D. Barron and MT. Bruce Ken medy, the responsible editorial directors Of The Advertiser. but we have noticed for some time that something-it may be their religions. or the lack of it-has short or exercise dangerous ipdifference 10 the best of civic virtues. exalted morals, holding the sanctity of Sunday bnyiolate. etc. newspaper like The Advertiser is sorely needed to lead the light in this realm, and it is a pity that 1t has ever been lax as related.
 The Advertiser appreciates the kindly spirit that pervades this clipping. but our contemporary ascribes altogether too mucll power and virtue to this paper. It fs not an autocrat fin power in this com xnunity, neither is it a perfect model of Giyic virtues. It tries to stand up for khe right as best it can, but frequently 1t finds the task well-nigh hopeless. It Frequently kicks against the bricks in vain, but sometimes 1t permits discretion to appear the better part of valor.
 The Advertiser has no sympathy with Sunday baseball in this vicinity or, for khat matter, anywhere In the State or out of it. It does not believe 1t is an eIeyating force in any community. but many incidentals of deteriorating char ncter.
 But The Advertiser knows of no way 10 stop Sunday baseball. The grounds are far outside the city limits, and nc city ordinance could reach it. The Minis kers' Union of this city undertook to prevent 1t weeks ago. and this paper gave full countenance to that undertak- tng. But 1t fsiled-just as similar course did at Mobile some years ago. Tue main reason is that there Is no law on the Alabama statutes against Sunday ball. There Is the lame place" The News is conscious of. but has located wrong. If "the mighty. potential and polid arm" of the law could be invoked khere would be no Sunday baseball here- I. abouts. The Advertiser wishes there noSas such a law. and we suggest to our ' ' v v .aYiRnant oontemDorarv that fl heln brjp Q snTBoper influences to bear on the Legisla- lure at it's next sitting to remedy the eefect

that Editor Metcalfe cannot see the giar- ing inconsistency of his condemnation of Cleveland and his followers. while he himself calmly threatens to SO over to the enemy if the Democratic convention is not ruled by his own views" The News fails to see the point What was an unpardonabie political crime in Mir cieveland's friends becomes patriotic duty to Mir. Bryans friends. The right or wrong of bolting depends entirely on whether the bolters are with Bryan or against him. See the point?

Politics and Journalism.
Washington Star.

WashingtOn Star.
 MT, Bryan. after two unsuccessful att tempts to reach the White House, start ed newspaper, and is said to be making 1t pay, MT, Mason of Illinois, after an unsuccessful attempt to succeed himself in the Senate, announced a purpose to start a newspaper. As he is a lively sort of a man he ought to make the venture pay, MT. Jones of Toledo, reelected t0 the mayoralty of that town. announces a purpose to start a newspaper. And so it seems that politics has no sorrows that Journalism cannot heal, and no joys that 1t cannot make the sweeter. It is @ great profession, although there are politicians, as. for instance, in Pennsylvania, who would be glad to suppress newspapers al- together.

AN APT COMPARISON.

The Norfolk Landmark aptly remarks that 'virginians feel towards Lee as Athenians did toward Pericles." and the implied comparison Is a good one. Aside from his great abilities as a soldier, the character of Pericles justly entities him to be considered among the greatest Greeks at a time when the glory that was Greece" depended so largely on the names and the abilities of her public men, As a soldier and as a citizen, he was one of the most remarkable men of antiquity, and although he lived and fiourished more than twenty-three centu- ries ago, his name stands out as one of the brightest stars of an age and a coun- try which produced many great men.
 The fame of Pericles is not dependant alone on his remarkable skill as a Gen. eral for his virtues as a private citizen or as an official of his Government arc not less notable than his military re- nown. Piutarch speaks of "his extraor- dinary, almost fatherly. tenderness for the life of every Athenian citizen." and on his death-bed he declared that No Athenian ever put on black for me-" He did not mean that the wars in which he bore such conspicuous part had never caused mourning among his people. but that no act of injustice or oppression of his caused his people grief. He lived at time when foreign wars and internal dissensions were almost continuous, but it was said of him that The never car ried political differences to the shedding of blood"
 Rich in great names and glorious mem ories though Virginia is, there is not one that will pass down. the corridors of Lee, and the grand old commonwealth builds monument to human greatness and human goodness when she honors the greatest of all who have borne that name. Whether malice and spite and envy shall prove powerful enough to pre- vent 6 statue of him in the Hall at Washington can have no effect on his fame. That is secure beyond all human effort to detract from 1t. and his monu- ment Is in the hearts of his people and in the unbiased judgment of all who honor human excellence. Ancient Athens was the mother of many great men. but even Athens had no more cause to feel proud of her bright galaxy of citizens than Virginia. and the name and char acter of Robert Edward Lee will stand out in undimmed lustre when others now called great will exist only as dim memo ries The Pericles of Virginia" is apt and appropriate.
