The cotton states Congress al Raleigh
yesterday had under consideration the pro
posed international exchange between the
manufacturers OF Great Britian and tine
Grangers OF tine United states brt finally
left the whole matter 10 be disposed OF bv
The National Grange. There is evidently
considerable doubt in the minds of MANY
Changers as TO what action they ought 10
take on this important proposition. They
profess rot TO believe IN middle men and the
exchange referred TO cannot be effected
without the Intervention of a powerful cor
ToratiOn. This corporation is the Mississippi
Valley Trailing Company. OF Great Britain.
which Is said to have a large capitaI AMI
which has been Endorsed by the congress OF
the cooperative societies OF England. The
committee OF the National Grange, after
careful consideration, also iniorsei this
corporation, but took no action be-
yond recommending II to the state
and subordinate oranges, preferring To leave
the question of "a general system OF exchange
to the National Grange itself The scheme
Will OF course be violently opposed by the
manufacturing interests in this country and
should IL be carried into execution will
undoubtedly lead to important changes in
our present tariff laws. As the case stands.
IL looks as If, while both the co operators of
Great Britain and the grangers Of the United
States might be benefited to some extent
the corporation which proposes 10 act as the
agent OF exchange will profit more largely
than any one else. One of the newspapers,
referring 10 this company, styles Ii THE
Future Grinding Monopoly of the World !,
and such II may turn out In the end TO be.

HUMRUG EXPOSED.

The Kate King "materializec
spirit" business had a big run
For months half of Philadelphia
and the long-haired males and
short HAIRED females throughout
the country, as we'll as u goodly
number of small sized intellects
who are disposed to view all things
from u scientific" standpoint
were waltzing around on their
heads. Singular as il may seem
they believed a London belle OF
two hundred years ago had come
back to earth by means of the me
dunn ship of An enterpIising
man and his enterprising wife,
named Holmes. 1t seems the
Holmses made q good thing out
OF it. OF course London beauties
so long dead could not afford to
exhibit themselves IN a cabinet to
mortals of the present day without
q good, round admittance fee.
But through the efforts of a gen
tleman whose name is not given
the trick was exposed, and the
London beauty was found to be
none other than a good looking
widow of Philadelphia, who
"dwells in the flesh" and takes her
regular hash, including pork and
beans, much as the balance of us
mortals do. No man was ever
more completely "given away" in
any business than the celebrated
Robert Dale Owen, the head and
front of spiritualism, was by the
Holmeses in this Standardization"
humbug. He is completely let
down. He staked his all on Katie
andlthe Holmeses. We don't know
whether he had free ticket to the
show or not, but he wrote a long
puff for them in the Atlantic.
This he has since taken back.
Not, however, until his endorse
ment had wrought immense harm,
and brought ruin to many people.
His reputation for sincerity made
it all the worse.
Our readers will find on the first
page very interesting account Of
the exposure.
The effect of this collapse of one
of the most ingenious tlicks spirit
nalism has devised, must be dis
astrous on all who are sincerely |
seeking after truth. The to thous-
ands who are misled by their zeal
for new things" it will make lit
tie difference. They will be ready
to grasp at the next straw they
see. They are led by but one in
stinct and that is opposition to all |
that iS old and fixed. II has al
ways been a mystery to us how peo-
pie could put any substantial faith
in the raPpings, table-tippings,
cheap music, one horse poetry, bad |
spelling, darkroom seances, and
cabinet exhibitions OF spiritual
ism. That there are inexplicable
Things done no one can deny, hut
that they are the demonstrations
of those who have gone into the
future we do not see how any one
can for q moment believe. The
demonstrations of what is called
spiritualism themselves. are proof
enough that they haYe no connec-
ton with the spirits of departed
ones. The most OF them are Of
an order that would make the fu-
ture state undesirable il they were
