Gross Roads Statesmen. u

One obstacle in the way Of political re-
form, not enough considered, we fear, by
political doctors and doct,inaiaes, is the
Cross Roads Statesman. His portrait,
as we outline it, will be recognized by all
who are familiar with practical politics. y
The Cross Roads Statesman is product of
the caucus system, and is of the same
genue whether in rural district or city
ward. He is the politicians puppet, and
jumps when the manager pulls the wire.
lie is one of 'the leading men" referred to
in the committees circular letters (enclos-
ing little money "to assist in getting out
the vote" y He is "re!iablc," with all that
includes-and in politics 1t rs good deal |!
He is 'sound" He favors reform within
the party" though rascality be personifed
in its candidates and dishonestyin its plat
form. He is on the local committees, and
has held numerous town offices, and may
even, If useful" enough, have been sent TO
the Legislature. He is always at political
conventions, as busy and as mysterious as a

Illinois Senators to Assert Their
Provocative.

a private letter received in Washington
from Chicago says that Senators Logan
and Oglesby ale Nery much incenscd ut
the recent changes of federal officers in
Chicago, not merely ON account Of rcmov-
ais, but because they were not consulted in
the selection of the new appoiniees .
Senator Logan is reported as declaring
that he will oppose the confirmation OF the
new appointees in the senate next winter,
and with the aid Of his colleague will Sc
cure their rejection. This he proposes TO
do in order that his right to voice in the
selection of men for federal offices in Hi
nois may be established. lie expects every
republican in the senate to support him in
this view. ..

hereditary insanity is added it would seem
to make it almost Bred rssive. But against
this is to be oonsidt an the will itself, which
shows no trces of insane mind and
then the mAte fact 4 nat he was deceived by
Margaret Tox, il heNwas deceived, argues
nothing, for vas not Elisha Kent Kane de-
ceived by te same Margaret Fox, en-,
trapped, or Voluntarily ep,ered, into sort
of marriage with her, aud will any one
clam that he, too, was insane?
But it is further claimed that all of his
business affairs and public acts were con
troled by the presumed dicta,ion Of spirits.
Ward, 1t is said, bought and sold property,
invested in mines, pine lsQIA and other
real estate, managed railroad affairs and
his shipping interests at the dictation of
spirits consulted them in important law
suits judged of mems honesty in the
same manner; supported mediums for his
private use in business matters and, final
", from being a warm friend and sup
porter of lack Chandler beef me his oppo-
nent and opposed and succeeded in defeat
ing his reelection to the senate because
spirits advised such course they alleging
that lack was of Incorporate habits.
1t seems passing strange that any man
can so believe, and act upon such belief,
and still be sane We are accustomed to
regard these epifit communications as all a

acts done under the deusion must be, are,
insane acts and of no force in law. But
who made us a judge of whether spirit.
ualism was delusion or not whether be-
lief in it was but the outcroppings of in
sanity I? Such rule would be danger
Gus one to establish, for if belief
differing from the professed belief of the
majority is insanity, who of US is sane
If this belief was insanity, Eber d.
Wards acts were the furtherest removot
from insanity. His whole business career
was crowned with success. lie WAS The
% foremost business man" in the west. anc
his wealth was employed in vast and re
munerauve Enterprises. He erected mill
at wyandotte, Michigan, and created 1
city there. He employed fifteen hundred
men, and used the entire product Of mines
in rolling mills at Milwaukee. At Chicag,
he employed eighteen hundred men il
similar mills and in Dessemer steel works
He owned ninety thousand acres of pin
land and employed five hundred men il
numbering in Michigan alone and his mill
were ''the largest and most complete il
Z" their appointments on the continent
He had a controlling interest in silver, cop
. per, lead and iron mines and in furnace
almost innumerable. He was largely in
7 terested in shipping interests and railroa
e management, being president of at leas
three railroads and the owner Of two ship
yards and Il half Il million dollars worth O
vessels Asa politician, he was vice-pres
dent of the Philadelphia convention whic
renominated Grant, was Grant eector a
large from Michigan, and defeated FAC
Chandler. All of these things and yet, be
! cause he consulted spirits, lie was insane
If SO, we wish there were more goo
spirits like those who advised, and NOR
insane men like him. But because he bt
lieyed in spirits we greatly fear Poultne
r will have to go without her free library.
