A Great Revelation.
Some Valuable T~hOaghts Concerning Hu-

The free and independent thought of
this age accepts statements only where
they are proven to be truth, while the
development of mental power seems
equally great in every other department
of life. The valuable inventions of the
day are counted bythousands. The in
crease of scientific study is universal.
The spirit of inquiry in all fields is so
marked as to cause
COMMENT ON EVERY SIDE,
while people seem investigating and
advancing in every direction which can
help them morally, mentally or physi-
cally. This is specially true Of the hui
man body and everything which con-
Germs it, and the truths which the peo-
pie have found, even in the last fifty
years, are simply marvellous. How re-
ally ignorant some cultured and suppo
seably scientific people were only a few
years ago, as compared with the pres
ent day, may be better understood from
a few illustrative facts. A prominent
writer prepared an elaborate essay to
prove that steamships could never cross
the Atlantic, and his pamphlet was is

that if a person felt a pain in the back,
the liver was deranged; il a pain came

ed and consumption was near; 1t is now
known that a pain in the back indicates
diseased kidneys, while troubles in the
lower chest arise from a disordered liver
and not imperfect lungs. A severe
pain in the head was once thought to
come from some partial arrangement of
the brain; it is now known that trouble

The Street Railroads.

What between the keeping down of
strect-car fares and the keeping up of
street-car expenses and dividends the
poor conductors and drivers do get awfully
comp ressed. Six tickets for twenty-five
cents-a ride from Georgetown to the
Navy-Yard for four cents and one-sixth,
and the same for the whole length OF
either of the several horse railroads of
the city. The directors undoubtedly get
for their tickets from the public the most
they can consistent with keepin G UP the
travel, and they probably keep of what
they get as much for themselves as is
consistent with keeping drivers and con-
ductors at work. Two dollars day is paid
on the Pennsylvania and Seventh
street cars, dollar and half
on the Eleventh street line, and dollar
and quarter on the street and Ninth
street lines. For sixteen hours work on
the first two named lines and something
less on the last the rates of compensation
would not seem to cultivate habits of ex-
travagance. But who cares? The cor
porations are said to have no souls, and
they will not part with any of their divi-
dends to swell the wages of the men who
melt in summer and freeze in winter to
win the little bread for wife and children
which their wages will buy after paying
for house rent, clothing, and the doctor.
If these soulless corporations were to
offer to give their employees correspond
ingly higher wages if another penny
were added to the fare, would the public
smilingly pay the increased fare? Alas
no. Indeed, many could not afford to ride
at any increase, for poverty now drags
along wearily on the walk because it can
only afford to ride one way or only in
bad weather. But if separate fare-box
were to be placed in every car, TO be the
property of the employees and into
which those who chose might willingly
deposit the extra penny rs gratuity, the
useful class benefited thereby would be
able to see exactly what percentage OF
the riding public combined ability with
inclination to do generous thing at the
most trihing expense. There would be
no humiliation in it TO the recipients, any
more than there Is in the gratuities given
Pullman car employees and others upon
whom it is the custom of travellers to be.

bourbon Grief over Republican Dc.
gcncracy.


The groans of the Democratic press over
the decline and fall of the Republican
party of Virginia are fearful to hear The
Democratic editors have hitherto enter
tainod a very exalted opinion of the in
nocencc, virtue, and integrity of the Re-
publican party. The Bourbons have seen
with agony the Republican party, so be-
loved by them, ruined and betrayed by
the Rcadiuster Democrats who refused TO
harmonize and reunite with them (the
Bourbons aforesaid). The pangs which
now convulse the Republican party's
dear Bourbon friends cannot be allevi-
ated-not even by the leaders so fondly
designated by them in times past as Car
pet-bagger Jorgensen and-shall we re-
peat it?--Scalawog Wickham. We do
not recolect whether the Bourbons
ever did apply the cndearing pet name of
scalawag to General Wicliham. We only
know that the term was supposed to en-
brace all native SOutherners who aflili-
atcd with the niger" or Radical party.
No! Not even the fidelity of carpet-bag-
gers or scalawags can compensate the
liourbons for the grief and disappoint-

whclmed at seeing the Republican party

with the ex-confederate Readjusters The
Bourbons expected good deal of the
blacks of Virginia, but the wicked Ma
hone has woefully interfered. If the Re-
adjustcrs would have returned to the
Democratic organization they could have
made the debt platform and well
come. But since they would not, they
are the only bad men in Virginia.
IL they would only help maintain the
white line" they could have readjust-
mcnt on their own terms. But that was
to beat negroes. Now that the Read
5usters would have nothing to do with
Bourbon Funders, the negroes need not
be beaten at all if they will only run a
straight ticket. Sweet negroes, honest ne
