Herbert Spencer , has exorcised moi
influence upon current thought c
oxcitcd wider contention among hi
contemporaries than Charles Darwii
whoso death occurred on Thursday i
London , at the ripe old ngo of 7
years. IIo was born at Shrowsburj
on February 12th , 1809 , and receive
his education at the grammar schoi
of his native town , at the universit
of Edinburg , and at Christ collcgi
Cambridge , where ho took his dcgrc
of M. A. in 1831. Predisposed froi
youth to scientific ) pursuits , ho snile
the snmo year in the ship "Jioaglo" !
volunteer naturalist in the survey i
the coast of South America , nnd completed
plotod the tour of the globe before h
return to England , five years late
when ho published his first work , r
cording his observations , which hi
bcon declared the most cntortainir
book of gouuino travels over writtci
Subsequent works wore the "Zoolog
of the Voyage of the Bonglo , ' (18-10 (
a treaties on "Coral Reefs , " (1842 (
on "Volcanic Islands , " (1844) ( ) , an
"Geological Observations , " (1810 (
In 1859 , after a long season of stud
and laborous observations , ho brongl
out his famous work on tli
"Origin of Species by Moans of NJ
tural Selection , " a volume which hi
made him famous throughout th
glebe and whoso production marks a
era in the philosophic thought of th
century.
Darwin has often bcon called th
father of evolution. In a strict none
this is not true. Hints of the thoor
U at the universe aa it now exists :
the result of an immense nodes c
chancres , related to and dcpondin
upon each other , are found as fi
back as Domooritus and Loukippos <
the old Atomic school. Leibnitz an
Knnt in cosmology and BuOon , Wol
and Oootho in biology advanced pos
tivc theories on the subject , while
i to Lord Monhaddo in 1774 that tl

St. Hilaro nnd Alexander Von Hun
bolt early in the present century cot
tended that species are not immutabl
and Richard Owen in 1850 referred <
the struggle for existence as a causa c
destruction of types least fitted for th
conditions around them and propose
the theory of the origin of species b
"derivation" in preordained BUCCOI
sion. Mr. Darwin's peculiar thoor
is based on the theory of ovolutio
but not identical with the hypothosc
of any of his predecessors. Accord
ing ( to Mr. Darwin tho''change i
ipeciea and varieties has been du
to a process of naturt
selection operating through food , cli
mate , station and condition and th
number of living beings with whic
the organism has boon surrounded
Those influences have limited or e ]
panded plants and animals , woodin
out little by little those loss fitted fc
the struggle of existence and slowl
but surely raising the typo. In hi
work on the "Descent of Man" (187J (
Mr. Darwin applied his theory of na <
ural selection to the human raca. Th
volume , which was merely a logict
continuation' his former work , oj
cited scarcely less interest. It dis
played a profound knowledge of th
facts of science , untiring labor in th
collection of materials bearing upoi
his theory und remarkable powers c
generalization. But its oonolusioi
has boon anticipated by the "Origii
of Species. " The hypothesis of eve

It is Mr. Darwin's great glory tha
bis marvellous collection of facts bear

torials for the excellent work of score
of his contemporaries. The grca
law of evolution was stud
led in every department of tin
anivorao of thought in every brand

Parliament reassembled on Mondaj

iomplished little of Interest dnriuj
; h weelc. The Tote * already takei
ihowthat the cloture will pu bj
i majority of probably forty rotei
and this may bo accepted as the poai
tivo strength of the Gladatono minif
try aboro their party opponents , Thi
is less than ono-half the majority wit
which Mr. Gladstone wont into offic
and the loss is duo chiefly to his onci
gotic efforts for land reform in In
land , which has alienated from ih
liberal ranks a largo portion of tli
whig following. Mr. Gladstone's pci
sistency in his efforts to reform th
land laws of Ireland is in strict ft <
cordaiico with his past record as
conscientious and enlightened stated
man. The Irish people twenty yoai
hence will gladly admit whatto-day the
deny , that from the day in which h
became a power in Englnh politii
Wm. E. Gladstone has bcon the fin
friend of Irish reform. No Englisl
man of equal political rank and wcigl
has staked his political fortunes so o
ten in efforts to rudross Irish grici
nnccfl , In his lost premiership li
risked everything on the disostablisl
inont of the Irish church , and thoug
ho carried that important moasui
through , his influence was so weal
onod thereby that the Irish univor ,
ity bill tailed and drove hi )
from office , When , after long rotiri
mont and a desperate struggle again :
seemingly odds , ho again obtained tb
reins of the government , ho could no
from a political point of view , hat
boon severely blamed had ho avoidi
this dangerous rock altogether , b
( riving Irish affairs no moro attontio
than was absolutely necessary ; loavio
them to run in the old ruts during tl
brief periods which the limitations i
already advanced ago assigned his at
ministration. But ho plunged i
once into what ho know would hi
and certainly has boon , a sea of di
ficulties , with OB much ardor and di
termination as if ho were thirty ii
stead of beyond three score and tot
Ho deliberately sacrificed the eo o an
peace which a policy of "masterly ii
activity" would have secured him , an
opened u battle in behalf of In
land which ho will not hvo to see tt
end of.
That the land bill is not all Irolan
ought to have , may bo conceded ; an
there is little doubt that its authc
is fpr from satisfied with itnnd woul
gladly have brought it nearer tli
league standard If ho could. But li
wont just as far as ho could go withot
wiping out the liberal majority i
parliament , and thereby restoring tl ;
conservatives to power. Such a bi
as Mr. Parnoll and his followers di
Btandod would not hwe obtained
hundred supporters in both housei
and within forty-eight hours after th
test vote was had Gladstone's reaigm
tion would have been in the hands c
the queen , and Ireland at the moro
of the party which boliovea or i
least has always acted as if it believe
that Ireland has no rights whic
England is bound to respect. Eve :
the most enthusiastic moinbor of th
league will admit that the land bill i
better , very much better , than iioth
ing ; and that in any event it will
when fairly in operation , improv
moro or loss the condition of the ton
ants. The persistent , uncompromis
ing and vindictive opposition of th
landlords is all-sufficient proc
of this ; nnd therefore , we insie
that Mr. Gladstone dosorvee
from every true friend of Ireland
thanks rather than abuse. Ho ha
done what ho could , and all ho could
to lighten the crushing burden unde
which the Irish tenant has groan o
for centuries ; and ho has done more-
let it bo berne in mind than an ;
other man living or dead could hay
dono. Without his personal prostig
and influence tha land bill woul
never have reached a second roadin ;
indeed , would , never have been in
troducodat all ; and sven with thi
prestige and influence it could nothav
become a law had it not been precede *
by tha coercion act. That act , whicl
is the moat potent causa ot Glad
stone's present unpopularity with th
Irish , was absolutely indispensable t
hold the liberals in and out of parliament
mont together. Had it boon withholi
and the government hesitated lon |
before presenting it the introduc
tion , to say nothing of the passage , o
the 1 uid bill would have boon simpl ;

las made it evident that the Nihilist

"execution" of government officer
idioua to them , as pat t of their pro

taken by the government to have thi

la moat probable , promptly put ti

jonoiliatory policy with which th <
Russian government was recently
credited baa had to yield to the atrait
of circumstances. The bra of gooc

into which the doinga of the Nihiliati

may therefore bo looked upon as m
leu atrong a factor in the policy o !
mat government than before. In thi ;
Monection a piece of newa published
by the Berlin Genual * , the organ ol
the Gorman Ultramontanos , Is of pai
ticular interest. It is that an agree
mcnt has boon effected between th
Russian government and the Pope
securing to the Catholics in Russi
freedom of worship. This spring th
oiiled bishops shalh bo permitted t
return to Russia , and their paston
letters shall no longer bo subjected t
a censorship. It is eaid that the Rut
sinn government , in view of its diplc
malic isolation in Europe , wants to h
at least on the friendliest possibl
terms with tha peoples subject to il
rule , and that this agreement with tli
Pope ia mainly intended to conciliat
the Poles , whoso good or bad hume
would bo a matter of great iinporl
anco to Russia in case of an intoi
national conflict.
Rumors regarding the release c
the American suspects in Irish prisor
are conflicting. Our gevornmont ht
urged , with great emphasis , th
necessity of their immediate trial c
release , and it is certain that th
alleged American citizens were ol
ferod their liberty upon condition c
at once leaving the country. A Dul
lin difl patch to the Now York Horal
that all imprisoned Americana wet
unconditionally disahargod lacks cor
firmation. Parnoll , meantime , re
mains at liberty , although the time c
his parole ia said to bo ended
Whether this is with the consent c
the government is unknown , althoug
it ia believed that ho will shortly re
pair to Kilmainham jail and agai
yield himself up to iti keepers. Hi
short period of liberty has had n
noticeable effect upon the league
which reports its entire outlay a
126,000 , with a balance on hand c
59,000.
Bismarck's scheme for increasin
the Gorman imperial rovcnuo b
moans of a government monopoly c
the manufacture and sale of tobacco i
likely to fail. Contrary to all general
oral expectation , the economic COUE
cil , which was called together by th
chancellor himself about a year age
with the avowed object of givin
counsel and scientific or technical ai
to the govoinmont in reference t
fiscal undertakings , has refused its ap
proval of his favorite measure , the to
bacco monopoly bill. This was th
last thing that Bismarck had oxpectoi
from it , and the London Daily Now
correspondent says that ho "feels thi
defeat most keenly , and seldom ha
been so vexed and excited as when h
heard the result. " This rejection o
the proposed bill by the economi
council by no meana implies its de
feat. The council is , indeed , morel ;
the chancellor's private and extra
constitutional parliament , and he i
hi no way bound by its decisions
The ultimate fate of the governmen
bill rests with the reichstag , and it i
impossible to predict what , in its present
ent factional condition , may bo don
in that body. It appears , howevoi
that public opinion throughout th
empire , while favoring a higher ta
on tobacco , is unmistakably advora
to the monopoly. The result of th
chancellor's present conflict with th
imperial parliament will bo watcho
with interest.
Italy appears to bo making progros
of a very satisfactory kind , and rejoices
joicos in budget surpluses. That c
last year was , it seems , nearly $10 ,
000,000 , and that for the current yea
is estimated finally at $125,000 , afto
allowing for 92,000,000 of increase *
expenditure on military purpose !
Taxes are being reduced , especial !
the grist tax , perhaps one of the vor ;
worst imposts in existence , which it i
proposed to clear out of the way b ;
1884. The floating debc la also dim
iniahing , the treasury debt being noi
only 120,600,000 , aa compared wit !
945,000,000 in 1878. The financ
minister , Signor Malignani , therefor
feels justified in taking an optimia
view. Ho ia sanguine that the gooi
financial position of the country wi !
guarantee the abolition of the force *
paper currency , and that the countr ,
ia making solid progress. The ini
ports and exports had together in
creased by $20,000,000 lost year a
compared with 1880 , and the facts or
altogether very reassuring. Only on
thing should wo like a little more ex
plauation about. What is the araoun
of the "extraordinary expenditures
each year , and how is it molt Th
"extraordinary expenses" of the arm ;
done are apparently put down at abou
505,000,000 for the years 1880 to 1880
ind telegraphic summaries do no
make it clear what relation these hav
bo the ordinary budget.
