Yesterday th« committee to which Die matter had been referred by the Coo.1 *lovcrnioont and tlie Citizen*’ OhA* reached «n agreement ae to two vamno ea on the aldennur'.o t'cket put out by the fm-mw club. There will bo general agreement that th<«o two vao.vne.ie* were Ailed prop erly and that tiie ticket, aa a whole, is one worlhy of the support of nil good clt.zcn*. W.tb the agreement upon th n ticket diHappiM'm the chance, which nt one time seemed almost a certainly, that the latter part of Oils week would be g'ven over to nn exo.ted struggle over our local affairs, out of which would grow much bUternea* of spirit, and from which the city could hope to gain uoUi.ng. It * u m.liter for tiucere congratula tion that tills conflict has been averted, no; only because the reconciliation of tl.c opi-w nc factions put* In the flold it th-iroughly good nldormnuc ticket, Lilt because it demonstrates that there 1* a strong spirit of unity among our people, la splto <ff uppetirtmoa* to the contrary, dur'ng many years past. Af ter the fact booms known yesterday that an agreement hod been reached, there was on every hand and from ad herents of both factions the heartiest expressions of gratlflcatlon that that re sult has been reached. It was easy to be seen the* every citizen felt, that * ho tiute was not a prop i. ous one for nn ioteraceino struggle, and that every body should make sacrifices, if possi ble, to avoid such a struggle. This much having been accomplished, It ought to bo easy to acoompllah a great deal more. It has boon a weak- tutts at Macon In the contest for *u- preauaoy th»t her people were divided MUOMt thcmscives. They wete never nblo to work la harmony. They wasted titer strength in trying to gain advan tages over each other lost,.'id of trying to develop the opportunities tor great- now which were oas.ly within their roach. Having started out in the right stay at last, the political factions hav ing laid down their anna and taken to shaking hands, there ought to be. and two believe there will bo wiser action In future. There luts been ns compro mise, Thera ha* boon no yield ng. ex cept of prejudices end personal prefer ences, In order that tin* community may be bettor served. When such a spirit (s manifested, harmony la other works ts possible. tiik public library.

But leaving this out of con sideration, ft Is entitled to support oven mom on aooount of the good work It Is yet capable of doing. We do , not doubt that there are very many of our citizens who appreciate the value of the library and who are Wiling to come to Its aid, yet fad io do so out of mere carekamcM. We urge them to give in their names as members. The charge ujKm them will be slight, but If the re sponse be us full os it ought to be, it will relieve this valuable in*teuton from the embarrassment which it now suffer* and make it ooe of tlie most useful In tho o'ty. JIB. CARMBI.B'S PLAN’. The Interest of the country in the precedent's message wax couc minted In that part <jt It .which would deal with tlie currency question. It was an nounced that the secretary of the treas ury, through the president, would sub mit to oongress a plan by which the treasury would <» relieved of tho tens- ffty <rf fliimishlng gold for export, end at the Bame time provde a safe, eaund and ample batik note currency. The plan was duly submitted, and though wc have not seen tlie scorot.irv a report ami do not therefore know it lu de- tn l, the prestdent'a message give* n fair fdea of It It is a modification of the present na tional hulking law, out a very great inodMloa.fon, end the first impress on It makes upon the nder is that under Its provisions the supply of currency may be made very large. The legal tender money of the United States, not counting the gold com, 's not far short, if at oU, of a billion dollars. Under the plan proposed by Mr. Carlisle, nil of this vast amount of money and the gold coin are available as a bus * for bmk noto circulation, and as that plan provide* for a reserve of thirty per cent., the amount of currency eoubl be more than doubled. Three bank notes would not be legal tender, but ns they would be redeemable on demand liy the banks kwu’ng them and protected by n largo fund held by the govern ment, they would undoubtedly circulate freely on a parity with the legal tender roohey of the country. So far ns tho tweesslty ekisls, therefore, of provid ing an ample currency. It Is met, in our Opinion, by Mr. Carlsl*’* plan Tho safety of this currency not guaran teed by the governu out, as was pro posed In the Baltimore plan. On tlie contrary, the government requ.res that the banks mutually Insure each other’s circulation, iiha. is, It taxes each of them to estahlisn i redemption fund from which notea ul failed bauks will lie redeemed, .hi* fund serving to guar antee tho a.tea, In add tlen to the CdpMdl of oaeh Individual bank. Should the fund at any time prove Insufficient, tlie tax, no doubt, would bo increased, and ns tho government would also tax the bank for t* expenses of adminis tration, the givurantoe would be without expense to tho tax payers. We think them will be a general con census of opinion that the notes circu lated under ths system would he an good «s the legal tender of the govern ment, for though uot based ou govern ment credit, they would bo based on «n undertaking by tho govorataeut to redeem them through the me of its power of taxation. Tho difference to the nol© holder Is not groat. The dlf- feresico to -tho tax payer, who Is re lieved from l ability, widen Is put en tirely upon tho bank - is very great. ■Mr. CVtrllale’s plan does nothing to wards settling the vexed silver ques tion. though U may have Indirectly tho effect of distract ng attention front It. Aa to whether It will prevent tho draw ing of grtld from ho treasury tar etpnt- stlon, that can bo detonniued only by experiment. Tho legal tenders wh oh aco used for this purpose would be atill In existence, but as tlie banking system grows they would go into tho reserves of those Instltut ons and would not bo so readily available ns now. They could not be usol by tho banks to draw gold unless tho banks at tho some time surrendered a proportionate part of their circulation. U wduld generally bo more oonven ont to prorldo tho gold tire-del io tho foreign erode in another way, and it is probablo thn.1 Mr. Car lisle's plan would therefore be at lease peril*lly successful tn thx d.rcctiou. On the whole, wo ere Ind ued to think that the plan will bo favorably re ceived. U will not plouse oxtrem sts ea either aide, but as it promises pnac- t.cal benefits nud will enable the coun try to provide itself at all times with the motioj it netols, it lua much to ennui cud It in the eyes of conservative peoido who are more mtervstcd in Im proving ooud Uons which exist than in vindicating a theory.. One of its titer.ts-and It Is a merit of the first rsuk-la dm tt sturala sotuo ohattco of securing the approval of con gross, whereas the s rnpie repeal of tho 10 per cent tax, leaving each state tc regulate Its currency, would have no chance of beeoroog a law. as experi ence during die Ust sesnian proved. If the Democratic congress is wise, it will not allow the opportunity to reform the currency to pass unimproved. Mr. Oarl.sle’* plan is a rvMsonable basis for agreement bst-wren the different fac- tons of the party. If they refuse to adopt It, but each UuUu upon tho en actment of a law carrying oat its pecu liar ideas of what should be done, then noth'ng at all will ho acoompl shed, and the tubjiut wiD be left for the Re publican congress to deal with. This win be unfortunate to the Democratic party, a* It will futn.th additional evi dence that it it Inovpable of dealing wisely with the great public qucet.cns. rnd to the country, uo; only because nrolrcs delay, but b-vauio tho s torn of finance wh’vh th* Itepuhlicaiu are likely to establish will not give as much satisfaction as iliac which .Mr. Corj ale proposes. This session of congres-t Is short, tt is true, but If tho Democrats will work together, with a. determined purposo to aocomplsh this reform, tbi-ti it is long enough. The dispensary is Governor TIUman'a own law, and he seems to think that every offleor engaged in enforcing it Is h s especial protege, entitled to pro tection from the consqueoces of any crime which bo may commit. On die last day of his term, as -was reported In the tel (grams yesterday, be par doned a murderer, who had no claim whatever to his mercy except that he was a dispensary constable. It is prob able that this crime flga.nst die peace and order of the state of South Caro lina will go unpunished. Governor Tillman has secured u follow ng u that state, apparently a majority of the people, who no longer qucstlou the jus tice or propriety of hi* act*. They sim ply obey when lie orders and approve when he act*. It is doubtful if any man in our history has so completely dominated the minds of his followers as Governor Tillman does. How long h s power will last, when he has been transferred from Columbia to Wash ington, is a question. Probably not very long. SHOUT TALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. Dr. W. W.

ADAM’S ARMORIAL ENSIGNS. Otersldlo Authorities Ascribe to the First Stan Two Coats of Arms. Although bnraldlo authorities have made no direct attempt to solvo the voxed ques tion, When Adam delved and Ere span. Who WM then the gentleman? yet thoy have assigned to Adam two coats of arras. The first, which was borno In Eden before the fall, when ho needed nelthor coat for covering nor arms for defenso, consisted of a shield gules, upon whloh tho nrms of Eve (a shield argent) wore quartered ns an escutcheon of pro- tenso, site being an heiress. Tho socond coat, borne after tho oxpulslon from tho garden, was "paly tranche divided every way and tlnotured of every color. ” Tho usoof furs In birznnryis, It has boon solemnly asserted, a rello of tho gar- mouts of skins worn by our first parents. Tho second man who Ilvod upon tho earth, Abel, was, wo are told, a true gen tleman, a proof that It does not noacssn- rlly tnko three generations to manufacture tho article. Cain was "no gentleman” by behavior, but ha was the first man who desired tn havo his arms changed, "so God set his mark upon him." Nearly all the principal characters In tho Old Testament have boon accredited with coats of arms. Thoso are, as a rule, highly appropriate, except in tho caso of Joseph’s heraldic coot, which was merely black, tlnotured with wbltoL-”choquy sa- blo nnd argent"—whereas something after tho pattern of Adam’s second coat would surely havo been more In keeping with the youthful Joseph’s favorlto attire. Gid eon bore arms, sable, a flecoa argent, a chief azure gutto d’eau; David a harp In a field argent, and Samson gules, a lion couebant, or within an orle argent, semee of lives sable. Armorial ensigns are supposed to have received dlvlno sanction, for God, whoa prescribing unto Moses tho form of con ducting tho Israelites in their joiyncy through tho wilderness, expressly com manded tho use of armorial signs, saying, "The ohlldrcn of Israel shall pitch their tents evory man by his own camp and ev ery man by hlaown standard.”—Cornblll Magnxine.

Probably If they could sco tho ri- dlculoas appearance they present, with their baggy knickers and spindle shanks, they would discard the new costume for ever, but the fact remains that, while for eign women cyclists have universally adopted the sonave style of lower gar ment, most English women who go cy cling prefer tho older fashioned and more graceful manner of raiment It Is worthy of remark also that the few who don the knickers Invariably carry a little bundle tied behind them which looks suspiciously like a spare skirt.

VIRCHOW AGAINST DARWIN. TIPS IN AMERICA. He Says a “Sheep Theory** Is as Plausible os tho “Monkey Theory.* Professor Rudolph Virchow declared himself emphatically against tho Darwin* inn theory of tho origin of species at tho convention of anthropologists which met at Innsbruck. Virchow is considered by many competent judges tho greatest an thropologist living. Ho has probably made more measurements of tho represent atives of various races and tribes than any other specialist. In his address nt Innsbruck Virchow did not mince words In his attack upon Darwin, whose theories, ho said, Instead of aiding tho researches of anthropologists, had been hindrances to them. “Darwin himself,” ho continued, “refrained at first in his explanation of his law of develop ment, in tho work on tho origin of species, from applying it to human beings. There has been a long investigation of this the ory. Tho attempt was mado to solve the question by speculation, and tho ’monkey theory’ was set up. It would havo been just ns easy to come to a ‘sheep theory.’ ” This ‘’monkey theory,” as Virchow likes to call tbo ideas of Darwin, had been harmful to anthropology. Anthropology today, however, bothered Itself little about this theory, which was started 25 years ago. Anthropologists had to accept the- actual world, and. tho race quostlon nat urally appealed to them. It was impossi ble, In Virchow’s opinion, to say whether or not a colored raco could descend from ono not bo marked. No positive example existed. Such a thing in tho case of on Individual was looked upon as n patholog ical ovent. Metaplasia (ebango from one kind to another), Virchow declares, could not tako placo without anomaly. This anomaly could bccomo horedltary. If that took placo In a family, “wo como upon tho hereditary variation, nnd by multiplica tion wo got tho race. Wo know that a raco can retrograde. Whero we find nn exam ple of atavism we must ask the question, of course, whether this atavism is not a proof that the raco developed from a being of that kind. It is almost always impossi ble to speak with certainty, regarding tho origin of a raco or trfbo.*’—New York Tribuno. v Perspective In Study, i The deepest mistako being mado today by a certain class of enthusiastic Voon of science is nogleot of tho imagination*. Or It may bo that Imagination is misunder stood and tho word is used by them to rep resent the faculty which deals with mN realities. Theso earnest and active mon seem to overlook tho tremondous result accomplished, oven in natural sclonco, by the Imagination of such men ns Kcplor, Newton, Goethe, Frnn*..lin and Laplace. We aro all too apt to look upon Darwin as a man dovold of tho divine gift, but this theory Is nono tho less a great poem in tho r )stract because its mountain of dry de tails shuts off tho horizon of enchant ment. Tho Btudcnt should bo permitted to see and feel something more than mere ma terial substanco when ho touches tho hem of nature’s garment. Tho contact must bring tho thrill of immemorial kinship from tho living, quivering body and tho luminous soul within it. Thero is danger that wo shall loso tho tradition of poetry puro and simplo, and with it the con sciousness of a perspective whose vanish ing point is our spiritual origin. Thoro is equal risk in costing aside all else for what we call practical sclonco, of falling into tho mill of conscienceless materialism and bring ground to the dust of pessimism.— Editor's Outlook In Cbautauquan. Employee, Not Employe. Why should tho French word employe bo HO much used when wo have at hand tho English form of tho samo word, which seems at onco to suggest itself and an swers every purpose? Employee is surely tho English correlative of employer. When we want tho correlative of examiner, we say at once examinee, and bo in other analogous cases—o. g., licensee, assignee, eddressee, consignee, mortgagee. Somo French words, llko rendezvous, restaurant and coupon, aro readily adopted into our own languago. But it cannot bo so with a word which requires to bo written with nn accent, and which further requires the addition of nn ”o” to indicate the fomi- nino gender. The uso of tho French word has these, among other, disadvantages—that it has always to be printed in italics, and that, when spoken or written by tho illiterate, as when ono reads, for instance, of “the female employes of tho firm,” there Is of fense in tho ono case to the ey^ in the oth er to the ear.—London Times. Nurse girls* It is an indisputable fact that children contract many diseases from nurscgirls whoso homes, habits and pedigree aro such thnt they ore absolutely unfitted to mingle with children of any ago or condition. It might not bo a bad Idea if tho Society For tho Prevention of Cruelty to Children wonld use its endeavors to get laws passed requiring nurseglrls who apply for places to tako care of children to havo a certifi cate from a physician showing that they are fit to take charge of them. Tho blind ness of many persons to tho welfare of their little ones In thla particular might furnish tho subject for many a homily, nnd tho agitation of tho matter certainly ought to bring about salutary results. Harwell's “Suction Well." Burwell, Neb., has a well that Is almost as freakish as the Ore Blanco (Tex.) well. This prairie oddity is a well 150 feet In depth, which takes queer spells of alter nately suckiug in and expelling air. In winter the air usually flows into the well for three days in succession, the samo amount of time being consumed in the act of expulsion. In summer these periods lengthen to five or six days. It Is known all over Nebraska as “Burnell's suction welL”-^t. Louis Republic. One million one hundred thousand He brews perished by plague and famine in the ym 70 A. D. The Walter SsM It Was Undignified, but He Took the Quarter. There is a good deal of nonsense talked about American immunity from tipping. That is a subject on which Air. Robert Louis Stevenson Is ready to exchange a wink or two with any English traveler in the States. In his journey “across the plains” Jbe made at Pittsburg his first ac quaintance with the “colored gentleman” aa a waiter. For instance: “Seeing he waa a very honest fellow, I consulted him up on a point of etiquette—If one should offer to tip tho American waiter? Certainly not, ho told me. Never. It would not do. They considered themselves too highly to accept. They would even resent the offer. As for him and me, we had enjoyed a very pies; ant conversation. Ho In particular had found much pleasure In my society. I was a stranger. This was exactly one of those rare conjunctures.
