BEATEN, WE HOPE.

There is some good reason to hope
that Poland. the author Of the Press Gag
Law, and the salary grabber, has been
defeated. Vermont, of course, goes
overwhelmingly Republican, but that
very fact will make the reproof more
stinging and severe. 1t will cut the
pompous Knave to the quick to find. that
in district where his party was in a
vast majority its members cut him of as
a dead, rotten branch. With the meagre
Information at hand, it is not possible to
tell whether be is defeated or not, but if
he is, it will be lesson to the knaves
who form so large portion Of the pres
ent Congress that they will not soon for
get. II will teach them, first, that when
elected as representatives Of the people,
with a specific and well understood re-
Enumeration, it is neither honorable, de-
cent nor honest, to Immediately legislate
themselves additional pay, with back
steal attached. When this proposition
has been well beaten into their dishonest
brains, then they can turn to the Gag
Law" and learn taat they cannot vote
away and bstray the liberties of the PEG.
pie without meeting with a severe and
scathing rebuke. The sooner that men,
bers Of Congress and Senators learn that
they are sent to the national councils as
representatives OF constituency, and re-
sponsible to those who elected them, the
better. Directly member OF Congress
or q Senator is elected, he thinks that
further responsibility to his constituency
ceases. Let this mischievous notion be
exploded, and let every Representative be
brought to book for every sin of commits
sion or omission. There has been
enough of this high-handed business
going on at Washington. Representa-
tiyes and officials should be made to
learn that they are sent there not to rule,
but to obey the people.

TABLE TIPPING.

Within the last few years there have
some remarkable contributions been
made to the literary world upon the sub
ject of spirtualism-tw from England
and one from the United States. The
author of these works were men of stand
ing, learning, honorable and reliable,
and the amount of evidence they bring
forward is astonishing in its character
and extent. These men entered into the
examination of the matter coolly, with
out bias and we're admirably adapted to
dispassionately and intelligently scru.
tinize and comment upon so entsngled
and intangible subject. The result of
their researches are to be found in the
works alluded to, which they present,
with but little in the shape of ieduc-
tons, apparently rather preferring that
their readers should draw their own con-
illusions. After attentively reading these
volumes and weighing the evidence, one
is struck with the singularly unsatisfac-
wi huu uhtuEeO VI tut W uOle.
Conceding, for the sake of argument,
that tables are tipped, that tappings not
made by mortal hands are beard,
musical instruments are sounded by
other than human means, persons to be
lifted, doors to be opened, and even mes
sages from the unseen world delivered.
What does it all amount to? If so many
children were busy playing some Of the
innocent games of childhood, that would
be as useful to mankind, and perhaps
more so, than all the so called spiritual
manifestations ever seen or heard.
With all the talking and mediums, and
this thing or the other, not one single
fact that would increase the knowledge
or happiness of mankind has yet been
impaired. If spirits from the unseen
world are allowed to communicate
with humanity, one would think
that the intelligence they impart would
be important or useful. But the fact is
the reverse. The experience of all these
tappings and communications is, that
they are trivial, puerile and silly to o
degree. There is nothing in them to help,
support or inform. They are mass Of
turgid stuff of which brain sick school
girl would be ashamed. True. some of the
doings and statements are marvellous il
correctly reported. We say, if, because
there is much doubt about matters thai
require dark rooms, cabinets and Other
appliances for their successful appear
ance or demonstration. When, there.
fore, manifestations are made in oper
day, without any material appliances
and the possibility of deceit or deception
of any character; and when those mani
festations reveal something that is Of
importance for mankind to know, tina,
will increase his knowledge of this world
or the next, then it will be time to ex
anime into such matters with view tc
ascertain their credibility and reality
While, however, such manifestations are
confined to blowing tin horn, upsettinf
table or talking lot of school boy
trash, under the pretence that those sen
fences are uttered by spirits of persons
who, while on earth, would have scorned
to allow such folly to pass their lips; we
shall be content to pass such things by
as lightly as we would the wonderful,
because unexplained tricks of Hindoo
iugeler.

The following song was written by
Bayard Taylor on the occasion OF the
Icelandic celebration, 1t was translated
and sung by the natives with much en-
thusiasm:
AMERICA TO ICELAND.
We come, the children OF thy vinland.
The youngest Of the worlds high peers,
o Land Of steel, and song, and saga
To greet the glorious thousand years!
Across the sea the son Of Erik
Dared with his venturuus dragons PROV;
From shores where Throtnn set thy banner,
Their latest children seek thee now.
Hail, mother-land of skalds and heroes,
By love Of freedom hither hurled,
Fire In their hearts as in thy mountains,
And strength like thine to shake the world
When war and ravage wrecked the nations.
The bird of song made thee her home;
The ancient gods, the ancient glory
Still dwelt within thy shores of foam.
Here, as fount may keep its virtue
While all the rivers turbid run
The manly growth of deed and daring
Was thine beneath a scantier san.
Set far apart, neglected, exiled.
Thy children wrote their runes of pride
With power that brings, in this thy triumph.
The conquering nations to thy side.
What though thy native harps be silent?
The chord they struck shall ours proloDg;
We claim thee kindred, call the mother,
o land of saga steel aud song!

tbs New STATE PRIsoN.--The Gold
Hill News is making fuss about the
commencement of building the State
Prison at Reno. The News does not
strike the nail on the head. 1t is not
the Building. but the location that is to
be complained Of The transportation
of couvicts to the prison is very seri-
Gus burden to the more distant counties.
Under the present law it costs hundreds
of dollars to take single prisoner from
Phoebe to Carson and it will be much
the same when the prison is at Reno.
In justice to the counties of the south.
eastern portion of the State. the peniten-
tiary ought to have been located at q
central point, instead of being placed on
its extreme western border. As the 10.
cality of the prison has been determined,
the representatives OF the distant coun.
ties ought to see that the charges fol
transporting convicts should be betrayed
by the State. The demands of these
items frequently sweep the treasures OF
the less populous and affiuent counties,
which would not be the case if the prison
were more centrally located.
