1t needs somebody with talent for figures
to keep al account of the railway SlaughteS.
There were two yesterday, two the day before,
a dozen within the week. The Slight sense ct
security which the verdict III the Honsatomc
murders gave the public is almost Instantly
dispelled. Shall We say that railway officials
seem to have timed their collisions with iyiew
to expressing their contempt for legal proceed
mgsl Their contempt for public opinion has
b,en too often .eyinced to need any new demon
stration. Lest an uninterrupted succession OF
massacres by rail should produce an impression
of msnotony, a steamboat explosion Is intro
ducod to diversity the scene. Not long ago We
had the Arrow disaster on the Hudson; yester-
day We heard of the Argosy explosion on the
Ohio with ten or twelve deaths resulting. The
Shore Line supplies us with Il smash mp on
Tuesday. the Old Colony On "Wednesday, the
Oil Greek road on Thursday. Apparently the
railroad MANAGERS have taken q contract to keep
the public supplied with seriss of sensations.
We have long since given over calling these
slaughterS accidents. II is worse than useless
TO offer excuses for them; excuses only encour-
age the criminal carelessness which causes
them. There are few railway collisions Tor
which any apology can be offered. Az for those
which happen in these days, it is an insult TO
pretend that they can be nnocentiy explained

of Berlin, the organ Of the high Prussan aris-
tocracy, thinks that the negotiations may simply
terminate in the prolongation ofthe condonin'Sm,
barbarous term for barbarous policy, and
signifying the joint rule of Prussia and Austria
over the Duchies. The Ncue Freie Presse, new
Liberal paper of Vienna, which already takes
rank among the best papers of Germany, is Of
opinion that the plan of maintaining the con-
dominium on a new basis is on the point of being
realized.
The establishment of condominium would
add a new name to the already sutfi-
GENTLY strange list of German sovereignties,
and it would tend to make the anomalous con-
dition of the country still more anomalous.
The National party might find in it a new means
to nourish the indignation of the people against
the present state of affairs, and to stimulate the
national longing for national unity.

been destroyed BY selfish and designing cousins
politicians who desired to be on speaking
terms with Jackson-boozy Senators who were
anxious to know if their last speech met the ap-
proval of the great and good Washington-all
went to Colchester, and were satisfied for the
small sum of 50. So the man lived, and tray-
eled from place to place, until the evil spirits
prompted him to 90 to Buffalo, where he was
inveigled by some wretch Of Tax Commits
sioner, who wished to make him pay license as
a juggler, and compelled to 60 before a Buffalo
jury.
The defense of Colchester was that spiritual
ism was his religion, and that according to the
Constitution, the Bible, and all known authorl-
ties, no man could be compelled to take out
license to worship God as he pleases. The jury
think. however. that if man desires to wor-
ship God at two dollars an hour, and publishes
himself in the newspapers as performing that
worship for all the world at a certain time and
place, he should pay for the immunity. his
point we consider well taken, without assent
ing to the verdict Of the jury that Colchester Is
iuggler. While this man made his living IN
a manner as apparent and notorious as the
Fakir of silva, or any other mOuntebank that
chooses to wear gaudy apparel and call himself
by an oriental name, we do not see it clearly
proved that all his manifestations" as he
calls Them were produced by slcight- oi-hand-
by trckery-by mere deception. There are, OF
course, more wonderful things achieved by pro-
iessional jugglcrs than anything accomplished
by Colchester, but not the same kind OF mani
festatiOns. Spiritualism, as phenomenon, is very
peculiar We DO not understand it, and men
far wiser than we, who have given time to its IN
vestgation, can arrive at no intelligent results.
The arguments both ways are too numerous
and too well known for us to traverse them
now. The verdict of the Buffalo jury amounts
to nothing as a scientific decision. In q practi-
cal point. it is lust. Colchester makes money
bv exhibitions, and he should pay his just tax.
If his peculiar power is not juggery, he certain
ly leads the life of juegler. As District At
torney Dart well says, the case is not that OF
the United States against large religious do
nomination called Spritualsts, but against a
man who makes money by showing certain phe-
nomcna when under what is called "sprltual
control" The amount of the whole business Is,
| that the Government will get its tax out of Col
chester, and Colchester will receive a magniii
cent advertisement for little money. II he viii

THE HOURS OF LABOR.

A Western farmer, formerly a mechanic,
gives us his reasons for opposing the Eight
Hour movement, whereof the gist Is as follows:
II can't see that it will be fair the farmer for the
mechanic to have eight hours per day established Wheh
the farmer could not make living by only working
eight hours per day. Further. no man can do as much
in six or eight hours be in ten or eleven hours
without injuring himself. The man will want as much
TO eat and wear and, if any difference VIII drink ana
smoke a good deal more than if he was at work. And
further his wages will have 10 be a. much as IL he
worked ten eleven hours or else he VIII raise the
howl (snd strike that he cannot support himself ana
family &C. which cry You hear frequently enough rs
il is The boss mechanic will have II sell his goods as
high or in reality higher than before for his capital
and all that is invested will have to be about the same
the same paid out and not as much manufactured in
the same time Now sure, at least feel confident
that the farmer will have to pay FOR his boots and
shoes. hats and caps coats and pants Or be buys shop
work. and so on for everything that tie farmer has to
buy of the mech anic and does not raise and make 80
think if you will carefully study and investigate both
and all sides Of the question, yon viii have TO come TO
the conclusion that il will be disadvantage to the
farmer and 10 benefit TO the honest and industrious
mechanic"
Our friend may be sure Of one thing-iha'
| if laborers do not earn as much IN eight hours
as in ten, they cannot r,oeire n much. Nobody
will hire labor to lose by it; and when pro-
duction ceases to be profitable il will stop. The
laborer's wages are never determined by what
he needs. but always by what he produces OF
