speaking of the New York Liquor Law,
the following" In Massachusetts, they
have Law, and still in Boston they do
not conceal their decanters-and in Con-
necticut they have Prohibitory Law,
but in large cities rum is sold as freely
as beef or -four This last statement
is as false as if he had said, we have nc
law at all and no man who has been
through our State and stopped in the
large cities, at respectable hotels, can fol-
a m oment believe such foul, sympathiz.

" Sptrltualism.o -
To the Editors Of the Echo and Advertiser :

For the sake Of brevity, I pass over
some Of your 1lastarticle, and commence
replying TO. your question in the second
paragraph. "Do you ri deem the
present generation Of apiritualists to
possess the same power over demons
that the Son Of God had ?" I answer,
No: But what has that to do with the
point at issueI I have not,maintained
that any spiritualist had any power over
the demons that possessed them. On
the contrary it is the demons who have
the power over the possessed ones, Just
as in Christ's time. Thus, the friends
of the possessed ones in the time of
Christ applied to him to dispossess the
afflicted ones of the demons from their
unhappy victims, not only. during the
Apostolic age, but for several centuries
afterwards. I therefore do not see low

lieve that spiritualists can raise the
