ONSET BAY. Mass Sept. 13.-The Rev. Mr..
Skinner, of Cambridge, recent convert from
Unitarianism. created q sensation at yesterday
afternoons session of the Onset Bay Spiritualist
Lyceum, by denouncing, by implication, Madame
Debar. the spirit picture taking medium, as a
fraud. Some of his auditors resented this. and
one woman, Mrs. Pennell, of Maine, rose and re-
piled bitterly to his structures. Madame Debar,
although at the grove, was not present and she
has repeatedly threatened to horse-whip any
man who dares to say she is anything but reput-
able woman. The friends of Mr. Skinner ex-
press much anxiety for his future, as he is a
smah man with one MANNED limb and the
Madame is stout, powerful woman.

These enterprises certainly do not look
as though the South were in crippled or
hopeless condition. On the contrary, they
show that the spirit of enterprise, of in
dustry, of hopefulness is growing and
spreading throughout that section of the
country. The very fact that money for
these large enterprises is freely obtained,
shows the faith that both Northern and
Southern capitalists have in the future
of the South. We believe that the time
is not far off when the Southern States
will vie with the Northern and Western
in productiveness of every sort And
this result would never have been attain
ed had the "old regime" continued.

Appointment Clerk Higgins. Thompson
is described as a resolute civil service re
former-while Higgins, as is well known,
does not believe in civil service reform,
either theoretically or practically. But
just why President Cleveland should wish
to snub Mr.. Higgins, while retaining him

fective way to express disapproval of Mr..
Higgins and his methods would be to
practice little civil service reform upon

Instead of doing away altogether with
the special delivery system, the postoflice
department would like to have it extend
ed to all postofIices in the country, and a
bill to this effect is before Congress. 1t is
thought that in small places the special
delivery system would be considered more
of privilege and would be more gener-
ally used. There is some sense in this
suggestion, but the SYSTEM probably can
not begin to pay its expenses, were it ex-
tended as proposed.
