No MAN should deprive his wife and

paper serves to relieve the otherwise lone

1t may not be strictly proper to
use the columns OF a NEWS paper for
the discussion Of doctrinaI points in
religion, but we cheeriulIy give
place to the above from Dr. Clarke.
The code Of obligation by which we
hold him responsible is that one
which discriminates between true
science and mere personal 'say So"
The DR.. CLAIMED to be adducing
overwhelming SCIENTIFIC proof Of
the verify of modern spirtualsm,"
when In reality he was relating moth.
Ing but few extraordinary personal
experiences. We do not question
his sincerity, or the sincerity of
many good people who believe in
splrtualism rs it is presented today,
but we do object to applying the
term Science" to that phenomena
which has repeatedly been.produced
by Iegerdemain. True the DR.. did
not "advertise" to deliver scientif.
lc lecture upon the occasion referred
to, but be claimed it to be scientific,
during his remarks.
Let us take a few examples. In
the first place, he claims that mod
ern spiritnalism 'does away with an
angry God aud DEVILS helI"-aud
yet he claims for it perfect accord
an'e with the teachings of the Bible,
lie calls the Savior "nothing more
Than medium" &c. If the Bible
does not teach the existence Of a
material he'll, the justice as well as
'oe mercy ol God, aud finally the
o'VlhIty of Christ, then it does not
teach anything ard words do not
mean what the dictionary says they
uo' Our friend calls the "photo-
graphing of spirits SCIENTIFIC proof,
&C., on the ground that a SHADOW
proves the existence of substance" "
Following out that line Of argument
we can prove that the spirits must
nave been present IL the flesh in Or
osr to cast Il shadow--and if that
were the case they could have been
seen with the natural eye. Then
asain, Like causes produce like ef-

In A little while the silver ques.'on
NAV be settled by the rise in the bullion
and then some people will find the mon
led men and bankers laughing in their
sleeve and saying they had no expecta-
tion that there was gold enough in The
world to suffice for currency. The latest
news from England is that that govern
ment is considering the propriety OF re-
monetizing silver; and it is also stated
that Germany is about to do the same
and adopt the course of France. Eng
land secured her gold and silver while
the United States were engaged in civil
war; and Germany got her gold and sill
yer through the French indemnity But
although these two nations thus became
rich they destroyed all the advantage
they had by demonetizing silver and de-
stroying their home trade. France with
all her troubles grew happier and more
prosperous than either, because she dld
not destroy her silver money, one OF the
elements of successful trade, and thus
cut down the values of all labor and al
property to single gold purchasing
standard.

SUBSTITUTE BLAINE.--Senator Blaine
has recently complained of the record Of
the Confederate General Hill. That
gentleman retorted severely and told
Blaine that he showed his sincerity in
the lost cause by exposing his life for it
and asked Blaine to show why he did
not enter the army and fight for the
Union. Blaine found he had got him
self into hot place and did not know
how to get out Of it without showing his
want of patriotism or cowardice. He,
therefore, admitted he had staid at home
and sought office but confessed that he
had employed substitute during the
war, for whom he said he had "paid full
price, more than the average Democrat
was worth in the war;" and he added
that his substitute, being a Democrat,
did not fight. This statement has elicit
ed an inquiry into the matter, which
tends to show Blainc's substitute was
paid for out of the funds of the Augusta
(Me.) Loyal Mutual Alliance, an organ
ization which formed pool to insure its
members that were drafted against the
expense of procuring substitutes. Blaine.
1t seems, was a members of the associa-
ton. Several years later the city OF
Augusta undertook to reimburse the
subscribers to the fund and did so in five
per cent. twenty year bonds. There

BALTIMORE, August 12.-The convention OF
Taxpayers Of the state, called to meet in this
city to-day, assembled and organized at Tenn
perance Temple at II a. m Hon. William NJ
Merrick, OF Howard, who was appointed chair
man OF the executive committee of the tax
payers meeting of that county, which pro-
posed the present convention, called 1t to order
and suggested call OF the counties, which be-
ing made Ii was found that nine counties were
represented, among the largest tax-paying
erick, Anne Arundel, Howard, Hartford, Mont
gomery and others, the delegates being some
OF the largest farmers and taxpayers In their
respective counties. On calling the con-
vention to order, Judge Merrlck said that
nor design, direct or Indirect, to form
new political party, nor to combine for
or against either OF the distinctive parties
within the state. The object was the redress
OF grievances, and relief from the burdens Of
the citizens. The representatives of the
dominant party In the state had already
declared for reform, and doubtless when a
convention OF the opposition party shall assem-
OF Its professions for reform. We will see to it
that they carry out their professions in their
future practice, and let both parties alike un-
derstand that whatever the regular politicians
may do, we, the people, shall not fear to fan
out OF line whenever they defect from stern
fidelity to duty, and parties cannot command
our allegiance with empty promises, nor retain
1t with broken pledges. We mean to be specific
10 our demands, SO that there NAV be no shelter
behind ambiguity IN the construction OF plat
form promises.
Judge Merrick, after alluding to the school.
state and county taxes, and insisting that the
levy for the state and county tax could be much
reduced by proper and more economic admin.
istratfon OF public affairs, said it was local or
county taxation which was the most onerous
