The Tennessee Ledger says that the
Religie- PhilOSophicalJournG1, of Chicago,
now has two editions, one in the spirit
land and one in the flesh. The spirit
of S. S. Jones, the old man who was
assassinated few weeks ago, has COM
municsted through DR.. J. V. Mansfield,
a noted medium, that being freed from
the trammels of the flesh he can do
more for the paper through a proper
medium than ever before. His name
still appears at the head of tie paper,
and bis sOn-in-law, John G. Bundy, is
announced as acting editor and mana
ger. Mr.. Jones was a thorough ex-
ponens Of the doctrines of modern
spl,itu llism. and devoted his whole
life to the work of unfolding and ad-
vOcating the most advanced ideas on
the subject. A long-haired, fanatical
philosopher, ciSiming to have knowl-
edge that Jones hao seduced his wife
from the path of virtue, sent the spirit
OF the old man to the invisible world
by pistol ball through the back of his
head. The spirit of S. S. Jones gives
assurance that he, or rather it, was re-
ceived into the realms of bliss with an
thems of JOY, with greetings that bub-
sled up from the souls of those wise
sages who had surrounded him during
his earthly career. he kindly announces
through the medium that he will not
pursue the assassin. All this and much
more is duly set forth in the Journal of
last week, much to the delectation, no
doubt, of all who are inclined to that
way of believing and thinking.

Irrational people always reject good

THE BUSINESS PRosPECT.-Perhaps
there is no subject more interesting to
all classes of readers than "The Bust
ness Prospect" The papers of the
East, North and West are full of arti-
cles on the subject, and everywhere
the question is one Of general discus
sion with the people. The following
article, clipped from the st. Louis Re
publican of the fifth, is one of the most
concise and sensible editorials on the
subject we have seen, and it fully meets
the views of the STATESMAN
The promised "revival of business"
still fails to put in an appearance.
Neither the peaceful Inauguration of
Hayes nor the prospective satisfactory
adjustment of the Southern question
has thus far set the commercial and
financial wheels In motion, and mat
tiers are as much at deadlock as they
we're six months ago. Naturally
enough, the sufferers-and everybody
suffers are looking about for the cause
of the trouble, and missing it as wide
ly as possible. Yet that cause is so
plain that there is small excuse for not
hitting it. Not only in America, but
in Europe, the business community has
overtraded. The supply is in excess
of the demand; more money has been
spent than made, and the people of
both countries are paying the penalty
in such cases provided; nor is there
any way Of avoiding that penalty. We
must serve out our term of punishment,
and then, and not before, the long
looked for revival will come. Neither
congressional, State nor municipal leg
islation will help US an atom. Trace
has Its own laws, and they vindicate
themselves in spite of all efforts to the
contrary, and regardless of all the tink-
ering of professional political econo-
mists. That business will revive SOON
er or later Is, Of course, certain; but 1t
is more likely to he later than soon
er. In this country especially We have
had-in the North at least-an unu-
sually long career of commercial pros
perity. During the war the issuance of
paper money and other influences, not
necessary to specify, inflated values
and stimulated the spirit of specula-
tion. We ''went DIP like the rocket, !"
BOW We are looming down like the
stick" and the sooner We get down the
better it will be for US. We can afford
to drop gracefully, painful as the oper-
alton may be, for we have had nearly
twenty years of what are called good
times" The least We can do, then, Is
to endure the bad times without
grumbling. Our neighbors across the
water are going through the same mill,
though they may not be ground quite
so fine, because they deserve the grind
ing less than We do.
As has been animated, the process
Of business recuperation will be slow,
but il will be sure. Values may never
again reach their old mark, but the
shrinkage will make them more solid
and substantial. In other words, when
business reyiyes it will be more healthy
than it has been since 1857 Money
may be harder to get, but when We get
IT, it viii stay with as longer. The
number of ''short eutsn to wealth will
be diminished, bnt the old beaten
path Of honesty, industry and econ
ony viii bring . more generous ne
ward to those who follow il. That our

THE New York Herald says there is
no better barometer Of trade than the
advertising columns of q good newspa-
paper. This being the case, judging
by the crowded condition of the ad-
vertising columns of the STATESMAN,
business in Austin is improving. 1t is
but short time since the STATESMAN
was increased from a twenty-eight to
thirty-two column paper, and yet it
is as much crowded now for reading
space as it was before the enlargement.
On Sunday last the advertisements,
special notices and four liners poured
in SO lively that but eight columns
of room was left for reading matter,
and some three or four columns of To-
cal articles, editorials and miscella,
neous reading, which had been put in
type, was compelled to be left over,
and during the entire week thus far
reading matter has been crowded out
by the demand for advertising space.
This is certainly good sign, and
should be pleasing to the whole city.
The STATESMAN is an institution
and representative of the city,
and Its success will rebound to
the interest and benefit of Aus
tin. Newspapers are the index
to the intelligence, the morality, the
enterprise, industry and thrift of the
places where they are published, and
the world over the ability and enter.
prise which characterizes journal de-
ponds upon the business and peeunlary
and moral support it receives.
There are other indications of improve
ment in trade in this city besides the
advertising columns of this city paper,
and if that improvement continues,
then the readers of the STATESMAN may
confidently anticipate its further en-
largement and improvement. Gould
we add two COLUMNS without adding
four and without frightening all the
columns, which proportion would re-
quire, the enlargement would not be
delayed day; but to add four col
umns in number and two inches to the
length of each column, which would
practically add seven columns of space
to the entire paper, would be hazardous
Just at this time.
