ABOUT EVOLUTION.

If the doctrine ofa evolution is true," asks Goldwin smith, "why do not more monkeys evolute into menT' We'll that might be pertinent question, but there might be more than one answer In the first place, how do we know that they are not7 In some remote and undiscovered regions of the earth it may be that the simians are grad ually working up into men. such men, at least, as some of the savages now are. Doubtless it takes a long time to make the trip and probably at some far away period some of these that are now on the way may become equal to Harry Lehr, for example.
 Then there is the question of popu- lation to be considered. If we are to accept the Darwinian theory we must remember that when evolution began there were no human beings, and that the process of making them out of monkeys was very slow way of ac- compIishing the job; consequently the increase was very slow and there was no danger of the supply exceeding the demand. Now, however, the world is getting filled up; and besides, we have a way of getting all the men we need without resorting to any monkey bus mess This being so, 1t may be that evolution has been discontinued That l, is an argument not to be overlooked.
 If it had been asked why do not men 2 evolute back to monkeys, we might answer the question by asking anoth- er-Don't they? We have seen some men, but we couldn't tell whether they were coming up or going back. They might be monkeys on their way to manhood, or they might be men on the way to monkeyhood. There are a num- ber of things to be considered when we get to discussing men and mon keys.

pnArH or sENAron ruaH.


 One of the really great men of the Nation passed out of existence when former United States Senator James Lawrence Pugh. breathed his last
 For more than half century he was a familiar figure to the people of Ala bama- He was gifted far beyond the average public man, and If he had been as studious and persistent as many of those who served with him at the bar and in the Senate, there is no way of estimating what he would have accom- plished.
 Few men could as quickly grasp the dom:.iant point presented in any legal or political question, and when he took the floor to advocate his views he was an antagonist any man, no matter how great or intellectual might well dread.
 Mir. Pugh was a kind hearted man, always fair minded and disposed to give and take in the race of life. For years there has been current story to the effect that he opposed the ap- pointment of Senator Pettus to po- sition on the United States Supreme Court bench on the score of too, ad- vanced age and that Senator Pettus told him 'ff he was too old to be on the bench, he was young enough to be Senator and would defeat his re-elec- tion." On the contrary MT. Pugh fav- ored the appointment of then General, now Senator Pettus. although the point of his ace was used against him. The appointment fell to the distinguished Mississippian, l.. c. c. Lamar, then meL..e CT of MT. Cleveland's cabinet This was during Mir. Clevelands first term in 1887. MT. Pugh was re-elec- ted to the United States Senate in 1890 and served until the 4th day of March. 1897, being succeeded by Senator Pettus who was elected in November 1sse. nearly ten years after the alleged Su- preIae Court incident.
 Mir Pugh served his people ably and loyalty and they have cause to mourn his death. There are few of the men in public life who can lay claim to superior ability or more lofty, broad minded patriotism.

How large does the Spanish mack erel ever become? is a question that might seem comparatively simple, but it is not A cycIopedia account of them says they grow to a weight of four or i've pounds, and we are all accus- toned to seeing them of that size, or less, but The Columbus Ledger tells of a consignment of these fish receiv- ed from the Gulf fisheries by a Co., lumbus dealer. The Ledger says there were several of them weighing eight or ten pounds each, and one monster that weighed twenty-five pounds. If the weight is correctly given and the fish was really a Spanish mackerel. all opinions of their size will have to be revised Possibly they palmed off a tarpon or a young whale on the Co., lumbus man.

Ev- erything and everybody has been touched in some way by the solons of the State, except the poor child who is compelled to work in the cotton fac tories of the State. He is left in the cold with no protection except such as can be given him by an inspector who has to look after the jails and almshouses of sixty-seven counties. Just what good his inspections will do the children remains to be seen, but how 1t can do any good without a sen sible and stringent law to back up the prosecution of those who work chill dren is hard to figure out.
