A ST LOUIS medium has made some startling
disclosures in regard to matters matrimonial in
the spirit land. 1t has been generally supposed
that in that happy country there is neither mar
rying nor givingin marriage but this it seems Is
all q mistake. The medium Is in communication
with the shade of young woman who climbed
the golden stair few weeks ago to join her
lover who had gone before. He had been a very
devoted lover and she had been equally fond,
besides being very beautiful. Her own depart
ure to the spirit land was in fact greatly
fastened by the prospective husbands untimely
taking off, She wanted to join him and did not
linger long on earth for fear her beloved
might be lonely. From latest advIces,
however, it appears that she might have saved
her breath, because the young man, not expect
ing her arrival, had found more congenial spirit
and learned to love her. When his former be-
trothed came upon the scene he looked upon her
coldly and refused to consider the old tie as bind
Ing. The rejected sweetheart had not, however,
lived in st. Louis for nothing, and resolved to
submit to no such outrage. She informed the
medium that she was about to bring breach of
promise complaint before the master spirit, who
Is no less person than SwedenDorg. No pre-
cedent existed for such case, as all promises of
marriage made on earth had hitherto been sa-
credly kept in the spirit world, but she had no
doubt or her final success and the discontinue
OF her perfidiOus rival. The main object of the
determined female spirit in making this commu-
nicaton was her desire to obtain possession
through the help of the medium of certain i'm
portant letters and documents, the contents of
which were then to be conveyed to Swedenborg
as evidence. The result of the suit Will proba-
bly, be made known to a waiting world through
the same source. Young people or old ones who
have looked upon death a means of Kidding
themselves of unpleasant bonds will look anx-
iously for the decision.

The attitude of the postofice depart
ment toward the private letter carrying
companies of New York city is monarch
ical in spirit and tendency, and warming
to all thoughtful men to remain stout and
vigorous in their opposition to centraliz-
ing any new power in the hands of the
government, as for instance the postal
telegraph. Suit was brought against Boyd's
express for violation of the postal laws.
The courts decided against him, and he was
fined $3.50. AS he did not abandon his
business a second raid was made upon him
and three thousand letters seized. One
hundred and sixty-fve firms and individ-
uals, patrons of Boyd's, were selected as
victims of law suits, as violators of the
postal laws. The probability is these par
ties will all be convicted and fined $50 for
an assumed infraction of the postal laws.
This proceeding is undertaken to crush
Boyd, and doubtless it will do it. People
will not care to render themselves liable to
the persecution that patronizing the Ex-
press involves. This may be free coun-
try, but it has one despot at least in its
postal system. Hatton and Gresham are
a beautiful pair indeed. The Gear of
Russia should employ them to manage
his system of tyrannies. Turn the Rascals

say what would have been the result. But the
public had never heard that the operators were
not paid fair wages, or that their hours were
unreasonahly many.
Our observation of the moral and economical
effect of strikes has been that in the long run
they are not beneficial to the laborer. But at
the same time we would make the case plain to
the capitalist and employer, that duties are on
them as we'll as on those whom they employ.
Moral laws are truly binding on them as on
private individuals. God is on the side of the
oppressed, and oftentimes the manager or di-
rector of corporation fails to put himself in the
place of the workman, asking what he would
like to have done to himself If he were In that
place. The law of love is supreme law. We
must do as we would be done by. And the solu-
tion of the wage and labor question is here, in
the principle of the gospel. that unies the inter-
ests of men and ought to make all people breth-
en-"
With the sympathetic direction taken in
the foregoing we have nothing to do further
than to say, that in our judgment it is not
we'll founded. "Capital can stand it,
ness interests stand the disruption caused
by such antagonism? This is a grave
question to be considered. Shall a few
rash men be permitted to throw the bust
ness of the country into confusion, in
volving the loss and sacrifice of millions
and shall employers be required to sub
nit to arbitrary demands in order to es
cape actual ruin. Justice should be meteG
out to all, to employers and their antago
nists and the general community as well
but all on just principles.

Gov. FOSTER told foolish lie when he
said the Democratic candidate for gov.

nomination. Fosters success in politics
has been due to the use of money in ways
that are dark, and he has no conception
of any other sort of manhood. Judge

and advance the business welfare of the
country.
The following extract from a leading
journal involving the philosophy, morality
or the heimmoralitY of strikes is presented
for the consideration of the reader.
SIN almost every labor ''strike'' that occures
our sympathies are with the laborer This is
natural because the laborer is the weaker party,
and the one that Immediately suffers. Capital
can stand it, and without making any more mon
ey the corporation, composed of individuals who
must eat and drink, can get on well enough. In
the end the corporation sometimes gives in. be-
| cause its own interests are to be consulted, and
it proves to be good policy to pay more wages
rather than to let the wheels of business stand
still. But it is not always right to be in sympa-
thy with the striker. However true it may be
that every man may quit work when he pleases
SO to do, this can be affirmed only in legal and
not in moral sense. A man may stand in snch
relations to his neighbor and to the community
that he has no moral right to do wrong to that
neighbor or the community. When the railroad
engineers stopped their trains in the midst of
their run, far away from stations, subjecting the
innocent passengers to great hardships, those
engineers committed great wrong, though they
merely exercised their abstract title right to quit
work at their own pleasure. And the clerks in
the postofhce or the operators on lines of tele-
graph are so identified with the actual wants of
the community as to have incurred moral re-
sponsibility which forbids them to throw up
their duties without such reasons as will satisfy
an enlightened conscience. Rights are often
more or less imperfect and one must not use what
he calls his rights to the injury of others. Here
is where the telegraph operators made mistake.
Whatever may be the result of the strike on
which they have entered they should have urged
their wants on their employers, demonstrated
the justice of their demands, and thus appealed
to the sense ofright and fair dealing which rests
in the mind of every upright man. We cannot
