A Spirit ON the Labor Question.
A DIsEMBoDIED JACK BUNsBYs VIEWS ON TIL


SITUATION.
According to the spiritualists'. association of
Washington the interest in the labor troubles of
this country has extended To the spirit land
Last night about fifty or a hundred people were
at the Grand Army hall listening to a speech
''by Judge +. p. Tracy OF California. The
peculiar feature Of the case was that Judge
Tracy, having been dead for many years, was
not visible to the audience, but had insconsed
his invisible spirit into the visible form of Mr.
A. A. Wheelock. Mr.. WheelOck sat on the stage
for a few moments, with his hand over his eyes
presently his legs began TO jerk and kick "a
little; his face began to twitch, his fingers
worked convuisively, and he jumped to his feet
with wild expression on his face, and his ewes
rolled up until little but white could be seen
These physical disturbances were supposed TO
be caused by the passage of his soul from his
Tracy's As he stepped to the stand
the audience was hushed with awe. Then
he began by telling what terrible state of things
now existed; how the spirits were interested in
IT, and could see SO much better than man.
What must come OF it? He said the oppression
OF labor would carry with it the destruction of
capital; the destruction Of capital would be fol
lowed by the determination of labor The
cause OF the trouble was ignorance on the one
hand and sel1shness ON the other The Way to
correct it was to clear away ignorance and sell
fishness II neither labor nor capital were ignor-
ant or selfish, and they both knew just what
was best to do and did it, there would be no
more trouble. Many other ideas equally new
and original were expressed by the ''judge" be-
IoTe ne LOOK Ills departure ana allowed Mr.
Wheelock's spirit to come back to its proper
abode.
