>the Wool Growers.

Ihe wool Growers.
Special Dispatch to the Gntelllgencsr.
NEW YoRE, November 2S.-The present
prospect is thnt the National Tariff Con.
vention that meets tomorrow at the Cooper
Institute, in this city, will be very large
assemblage. Representative men from all
parts Of the country are here, and tickets
and badges were issued to-day from the
headquarters Of the Committee at the st.
Nicholas Hotel, to nearly the whole num-
ber included in the call.
The wool growers held meeting To-
night al the Metropolitan Hotel to decide
upon their course, as there was some di-
vision Of opinion as to whether they should
go into the Convention, on account Of the
Executive Board Of the National Wool
Growers Association at their meeting at
Columbus, Ohio, deciding to send dele
gate. The question discussed tonight was
whether the action should be sustained,
and there was long discussion, which
was participated in by such men as Column
bus Delano, Of Ohio, and Congressman
shellaberger, Of Pennsylvania.
After three hours It was decided to go
into the convention by aclose vote, and &C.
accordingly the National Wool Growers AS.
sociation will berepresented to.morrow,and
cast the twenty-five votes assigned to the
Association under the call. The wool grow
ers were embarrassed tonight by the refu.
sal Of the wool manufacturers to send
delegates, which refusal grew out Of
their reluctance to 50 into q convention
called ior any other purpose than to con-
slider the wool interests, as affected by the
tariff.
The feeling Of the wool men, including
the manufacturers, is that the tariff on
wool and woolens as II stands is satiSiac.
tory, and they do not wish to do anything
that might seem to call for It's revision.
Mr.. ]. D. Whitman represented West
Virginia in the meeting tonight. There
seems TO be some dlstrist as to the exact
animus Of the Convention tomorrow as
regards the reduction Of internal revenue
duties. II was intended in the wool meet.
ing tonight that the abolition Of all taxes
on liquor and tobacco was at the bottom
Of IL. The sentiment oil the wool men Is
decidedly against any suCh movement.

-,tion | Of all spirit manifestations, seeming

dLaL
Whether the editor Of this paper has or
b,s not investigated personally the subject
Of spiritualism and the phenomena con-
uectel with ii, Is not q pertinent question.
# ID sufficient II the weight Of credible
and competent authority is on the side Of
disbelief in the visible manifestation Of al.
eged disembodied spirits. This Is all the
Evidence one wants on any subject usual
~ but when, as is the case with spiritual
manifestations, so called, the truth OF the
claims set up involves suspension or re-
ursa Of some known law Of nature, the
conclusion is all the more torcible and
positive.
The letter before US is too long to pub
lish entire, but the writer sets up q dis
saimer whichit is but fair to print;
We, as said before, do not stake stock"
in these public exhibitions OF cabinet
.eances for money. And It will not do 10
condemn spiritualism or spirit manifesta-
ions from an exposure OF any OF those
tricks, for they themselves are only imita-
tions Of the genuine. We started out in
1850 to investigate modern spiritualism,
fully believing it to be fraud, and II so
proved, to publish 1t TO the world, but we
soon found q power At work greater than
our physical power, aud we thought then
awe think now that we are not the per-
con to be the easiest duped. A very
small proportion OF spirit manifestations
being constantly produced ever become
public, for the reason that some one takes
Itup and explains II all away in such
manner as best suits himself and pleases
those who know as little about the matter
Hhimsei.
This last sentence, in our opinion, hints
Ahe truth of the whole matter. Believers
10 spiritualism get their main comfort
from private manifestations. The question
b, why are these manifestations produced
hpriva,c? The public seems to be Of the
opinion, and we confess that we share it,
that it's because they will not stand critical
examination by those who are persuaded
that they are produced by natural means,
anil determined to discover what those
means are.
