Vance was re-elected U. S. Senator by the legislature of North Carolina, on Tuesday last.— The ballot stood, Vance 126; Pritch ard 20. This is a worthy tribute to a brilliant statesman. It may be safely said that the po litical career of Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, is about ended.— His successor was elected last Tues day. His name is Jacob H. Calling ger. It is sincerely to be hoped that he will not be so much of a crank as Senator Blair. We are in receipt of bulletins No. 9 and 10 of the Georgia Experiment Station—li. J. Redding director. No. 9 is a “special” bulletin Jind is entitled ‘Potash and Paying Crops.’ It gives the various sources from which potash is derived, the differ ent estimates of the value of pot ash as a fertilizer by German fann ers, and also some experiments with it in the United States. This with other matter makes up an interest ing bulletin of 47 pages. Bulletin No. 10 (for December) is entitled f ertilizer Experiments on Corn ’ (2) “Culture Experiments on Corn” (3) “Variety tests of Corn.” A number of experiments are re ported and the number of varieties tested were 21 in all.

Mr. Harrison has succeeded by per suasion, bull-dosing and promise of patronage in getting the republican Senators to make a last desperate ef fort to perpetuate the power of the republican party by passing the Force bill, and the fight is now on, which is to result either in striking a deadly blow at the liberty of the American citizen, by the passage of a measure without a parallel in American an nals, or in the final defeat of the bill. Finding it impossible to unite the republican Senators in support of the revolutionary gag rule proposed by' Senator Aldrich the republicans have adopted the tiring out process, and hope by a continuous night and day session of the Senate to succeed in compelling the democrats to accetd to a vote on the bill. This, it is not believed, they can do. The session which began last Friday morning has been one continuous sessioneversince, except on Sunday, and is to continue until the republicans tire of it or suc ceed. The democrats are making a grand ffght in talking against time and express confidence of being able to win. How the democratic Senators feel in this matter may be judged from the extract from a speech of Senator Reagan, which reflects the sentiment of his democratic colleagues, and tiiat they will never willingly surren der: “As dear a? my life is to me, as Number M: refuse to tell the committee what they are alleged to have told to private parties. The democratic leaders of the House are carefully watching the proceed ings in the Senate and should the Force bill pass that body they are prepared to make a desperate fight on it in the House when it goes there for concurrence in the Senate amend ments. George Bancroft, the historian, who was Secretary of the Navy during the Polk administration, when he estab lished the Naval academy at Annapo lis, died here Saturday afternoon in his ninety-first year. Senator Quay has taken the troub le to deny*the rumor that he intended resigning his seat in the Senate. It was entirely unnecessary. Everybody knows that he isn’t one of the resign ing kind. TheHouse committee on the World’s Fair think the officials connected with that concern are drawing too much money and recommends a cut in sala ries, COMMUNICATKD. Was Han Evolved or Created. The church, science, philosophy and general thought are now dealing with the question as^to whether man is a development in nature or a positive creation. If the story in Genesis is true, he is a positive creation from the hand of God. If iu this day of scientific investigation and the study of the laws of nature, man then is the highest development on earth.

I am impressed with the idea that man is a kind of spiritual lusus naturae in nature. A leap so far be- yoDd the mere animal, that he cannot really be said to be kin to him. The mere physical make up of man, is an notating with and"voting with their j ^ true, but of what use is an republican colleagues in their efforts engine without steam, the steam is to pass the bill. This is significant really the soul of an engine, and the in as much as it shows that the dem- engine was made to be moved by the ocrats need expect no help from re-1 steam. The body of man was never publicans iu defeating the bill. Mr. Harrison’s henchmen are now trying to prevent the passage of Sen-1 tions for the fol owing reasons: ator Vest’s free eoinagfb bill, which intended to be immortal, but the soul was. I am lead to the above reflec- was adopted by the Senate last week as a substitute for that hodge-podge of absurdities known as the republi can caucus financial bill, by the House by talking veto. The bill, which is now before the House com mittee on coinage, is in far more dan ger from Speaker Reed’s opposition than it is from a Presidential veto. 1. Man is self concious, he reasons from induction to deduction. He’.flrst feels then .seeks the object of that thought, or the reason for such a thought. The mind grows and devel ops just like the body. The child is not the man for he has not a man’s body. There are seven steps or stages in man's life and especially in his re ligious development. The first stage Reed has the audacity and the nerve or step resembles an animal, conscious to resort to any methods to defeat it, and if he doesn’t attempt to do so, it will only be because he prefers see ing Mr. Harrison, whom he dislikes very much, weaken and sign it, as I believe he will, if it passes the House. Mr Harrison has made threats before, but his spinal column h£s always wilted when the time came to carry them out. Another erstwhile prominent re publican is in the toils of the law. W. P. Canady, who for many years, be cause of his ability to control the North Carolina delegation to republi can national conventions, held the position of Hergeant-at-Arms of the United States Senate, has been ar rested for obtaining money under false pretenses. And ye Gods, how cheap he sold his character. The amount he obtained on a worthless cheek was just $35. Some startling exposures will short ly be made by the House oommittee, which is investigating the Silver pool charges, unless the witnesses, among whom «^e Senator Stewart and Jour nal Clerk Smith of the House, shall •nly of his instincts and bodily de sires, without any positive concep tion of a divine element in him. 2. He begins to have a kind of feeling or JnBtinct or presentment of something higher in him. 3. He begins to seek to find out what that something is. He feels it but does not understand it, for his lower element preponderates over his higher. There is more of flesh than of mind. 4. The higher and lower elee- rnents are begining to counterbal ance each other. The mind is en croaching upon the flesh and putting it under subjection—the animal is giv ing away. 5. He begins to feel positively there is a divine nature in him, and looks for it externally; begins to worship some object or idea that ho sees and attributes to it good, to make him better, for he is feeling that he is not as good as he ought to be. He looks wjthin himself, and not out of himself. 6. He finds that his real self is his soul’s self, his higher manhood, the stimulator of his feelings and desires for a higher life. He begins to feel that there is a God within him. 7. He now knows there is a God in his nature, and that nature is spiritual, and that God must be worshipped in a spiritual way; and that way is through prayer, faith and confidence in that God. The seventh step or stage is a self-knowl- edg«. He then can stand alone in his individual spiritual nature. Man. is then what he really wills; he has put his body and mind under subjection, and has a will power he never had before. A diseased body has not the will power of a healthy one. The poor diseased drunkard may will, may pray, may desire to reform himself, but as long as the body is diseased with a thirst for liquor, his will power yields readily to the strong cravings of a diseased phys ical nature. Cure his body, and his mind asserts its power, his will has a force in it, and his spiritual nature takes full control of the man. He is thoroughly himself. A man may have, or he can culti. vate the lower order of his nature, at the expense of his higher. He may live only an earthly life so to speak, which only differs from the animal in degree but not in kind. If one lias no higher object in'-’view in this life but to eat, drink, sleep and propagate his species, he may be perfectly happy in following the lower instincts and de sires of his nature. There is nothing wrong in that, he is put here to do all of that, but there is something more he should cultivate, and if he does not, he simply dies like a brute, fo%hc only had brutish desires. Eternal death may mean, and to my mind does mean, eternal annihilation. Death means total destruction. Eternal pun ishment is altogether another thing. The prisoner is sent to the penitentia ry for life; but he who is hung has eternal punishment inflicted upon him so far as man can inflict eternal punishment or rather eternal death, for he can never be re-called to life. We hope the reader may gather a thought from the above. R. M. O. About Printers’ Ink. This is the day of printers’ ink, and the prizes are for those who use it. Your traditions and prejudices may be to the contrary, but the world doesn’t care a fig for them. The man who sits and waits for his trade in these days gets left. Dou’t advertise, don’t quote your price list, don’t see that your city or your busi ness is represented in your patronizing territory, and don’t stand up mau- fully alongside of those who are fighting for your rights and interests** and there cau be but one -result— shriveling up. Good salesmen, first class articles, gilt edge credit are not enough. They are excellent, neces sary—but not enough: Printers’ ink beats them in the long run. Uncle Satu’s mails go every day, carrying their freight of special offers, new crops, long credits, cash discounts, job lots and lovers’ tales from every where. And iu the end your trade is seduced. It’s the world old story of the honeyed tongue and open ear. In the fierce" competition of these days old habits uri<^ associations simply cannot stand the pressure. The trade is for the man who uses printers’ ink. —Grocery World. The late General Spinner, a good soul did not believe iu the supreme efficacy of the switch as applied to children. A year ugo writing pf his school days, he said: “The rod was never spared on me at home or in school—and now, with grown-up grandchildren, 1 can truthfully say 1 have never, in all my long life, struck a child a single blow. I was licked enough to last through the whole four generations of self and my posterity. 1 have found it safe through life'to practice the reverse of what was taught me to do. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Editorial Comment. The British government has 4n one move done more to solidify American sentiment against it than Mr. Blaine has been able to do in nearly two years by negotiation. Messrs Harrison and Blaine have earned the title of Tiddledy Wink statesmen by the agility with which they have jumped arouud on the Behring Sea question. This administration will go down to posterity as the one that got away with the largest surplus the country ever had in less than two years after it came into power; it will also be known ns tbo murdererof tbe republi can party, as a national organiza tion. Tlint’s a cool propo-ltion on the part of the republican Senators, ask ing the United States to guarantee the payment of $100,000,000 of the bonds of tbe Nicaragua ship cnnai company. If there are nny good reasons for this Government, building the canal, let them be put forward and if acceptable let us build it and own it; but for the Government to furnish the money to build it without owning it is too absurd a proposition to be seriously discussed. The opening of permanent head" quarters of the democratic national committee at Washington, which has been determined upon, is a move in the right direction, as it will enable party workers throughout the country to keep in constant touch with tlie party managers on all matters per taining to national politics. The de cision of the committee to begin at once the preparatory educational work of the next Presidential eotn- paign was a wise one, and one that will be productive in votes. This ac tivity on the part of tbe national com mittee is highly gratifying and augurs well for democratic success. Keep it up, gentlemen. Public opinion has at last compelled the republicans of the House of Representatives, or at least enough of then added to the solid democratic vote to make a majority, to agree tto have the ugly charges of Congressman having speculated in silver investiga ted by a select committee of tbe House, and by the thoughtfulness of Representative Rogers, of Arkansas, an amendment was added to the re solution authorizing the committee to ascertain who are the owners of the $12,000,000 worth of silver that the government isusked to purchase In the bill now pending. If this committee does its work properly an end will be put to tbo rumors that have long been prevalent. Will the committee do its work properly? That’s tile question. . DIRECT TRADE. At a rough estimate 12,000 young women were thrown out of employ- meet in New York the last of the year from the retail dry go*bds stores between Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets, Broadway and tSixtli avenue. One firm alone dismissed 1100 women and girls, and another 700. These little mar tyrs of commerce and circumstances were, for the most parts, “extras.” hired in November and December for-tile holiday trade at salaries that barely paid for car fare, lunch es, and the wear and tear of cloth ing. m In Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill Ton* ic will be found a sweet without its bitter.

Setoator Quay who has let; it be understood that he was opposed to the Force bill, has come out in bis truecolors by introducing a bill, which by comparison makes the Lodge Hoar bill appear almost just, iu spite of its many iniquities, and which would, if enacted into a law, give Mr. rfarrison a power as great as that wielded by tbe Czar of Russia, in that most unfortunate ebuntry. Here is un extract the most outrageous bill ever introduced in the American Congress, and for having introduced it Senator Quay deserves expulsion: “When it shall appear to the satisfaction of the President of the United States that in any locality the provisions of this law cannot otherwise be executed it shall be his duty and he is lieieby em powered to suspeud there the writ of habeas corpus and to employ tlie armed forces of the United States for its enforcement.” How is that for a Force bill? It might be greatly simpli fied and still mean the same thing by changing it to read: “Be it enacted that the American people having be come tired of liberty hereby declare cure by Benjamin Harrison to be Dictator.” Core.
