We had our brown-stone temple; we were
rapidly acquiring Wall street property
and influence and had a fair representa-
ton in the lunatic asylums and other
public institutions, when disaster came
ana blasted our industries with one fell
swoop.
In this day of gloom it is of interest to
take retrospective glance and note with
price the vigorous strides we have made.
We began thirty years ago by rapping
with our finger and toe joints, and upset.
ting light tables and old ladies. Then we
started planchette and enabled any person
who desired to become his own medium
and an imbecie with rapidity and ease.
Our next step was the spirit photograph.
This superhuman, mysterious and start
ling phenomenon was an absolute proof
of he truth OF our creed until some ribad
and scientific reporter got on to the PR
cess and showed that the medium worked

We then introduced slate-Writing, which
unfortunately, was exposed almost as soor
as born, and then the spirits favored us
with materialiZations of spirit forms and
flowers
This last manifestation was the most
beautiful evidence of the truth of our as
sertions, and was utterly unanswerable
and ineyplicable by any scientist or unbe-
lever Until one lam entable night when
an uproarous gang Of reporters and inves-
It gators artfully gained access to a seanc :,

These were deadly blows to the cause,
but no creed so founded upon Truth as
ours can be crushed by the scofer.
We rose again-and this time with
grandeur and confidence. A prin ess of
the royal house of Bavaria, welded to a
distinguished hero, became the chosen

THE LOCoMOTIv!y ENGINErRs.

The strikSof the locomotive engineers
on the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy
railroad is very striking strike The
Union OF the Locomotive Engineers is one
of the most conservative working unions
that has ever been known in all the his
tory of such organizations, and its chief
and guiding spirit Chief Arthur, has 60
often on trying occasions uttered words
Of peace, and given sensible advice that
on this occasion, when he consents TO adj
wise strike the motives and all the ele-
ments In the affair will be of interest.
The following dispatch shows a very
curious point of difference between the
Locomotive Engineers Union and the
Knights of Labor
PHILADELPHIA, February 26-The
executive committee OF the Reading rail
road strikers have informed General
Manager Shaw of the Burlington road
that they will send him 800 engineers to-
morrow if needed unless Chief Arthur
withdraws the Brotherhood engineers
from the Reading system
Ii the demand of the engineers is fair
one, and they maintain their position i'm

violence, then this will be strike to

men can stop working just when they
please, but they have no right to keep

ordered with due regard 10 their own
rights and the rights of others 1t is the
most interesting of all the strikes that
have occurred, and the result will be

"PIIOI OK PIKATE."

As the Legislature proposes to adjourn
next week we urge the members to take
careful consideration Of the few impor
tant measures before them that may have
a political relation to the success OF the
Democratic party in the next election,
besides the particular merits of the bills
LISA common stroke of political diplo-
macy in legislative affairs to make believe
that the fortunes Of the party depend on a
certain measure and a certain action. That
Is. the true bearing of proposed legisla-
tive enactment may be entirely overlook
ed, because a political influence demands
n course entirely different from what is
absolutely right To illustrate this it is
claimed that lot of Norfolk pilots
must be allowed a privilege of exclusive
pilot rights with the license to farm out
the right on the principle to blackmail.
That Is. a bill allows the pilot ring to
have exclusive control Of the right ia
pilot vessels in the James river and other
streams, and then can exempt the vessels
from pilotage charges by saving them
selves the trouble Of the service, and
thus making direct and unequivOcaI
lie in the pleading of their own cause.
Otherwise stated, to make it perfectly
plain. it is claimed that vessels entering
the harbors OF the State of Virginia mus
be made to hire local pilots. But the mo-
nopoly Of the service is granted TO a ring
and that ring, instead of carrying out tn,
alleged principle of the law, sells thu
right TO violate the principle. The YES
sci comes into port with priyil ege from
the pilot association not to have pilot
the privilege being paid for. The pilo
association pockets the blackmail. Thu
commerce of the State is sacrificed or
the altar of the demagogue's idea of sell
ing privileges so as to maintain loca
rings.
Now we have this TO say to the Demo
cratic majority, and we say it sincerel,
and with due consideration, that if they
do not repeal that infamous law the!

explained, is really game of instruction,

Typographical maps are made OF the

OF instructing the soldier in field work

operate their commands in q strange
country. The officer has his map as the

THE OUTRAGE.

has the following on compulsory pilot
age:
1--WE tell the pilots again that they will
be beaten at last on the long and holly
fought issue No arguments will be so
corent to this end as those silently offer
ed by the rapacity of the State pilotage
systems. We regret to say that the aboll'
ton Of the local abuses we have so often
exposed is likely to be followed by a
scheme Of Federal pilotage only little
less offensive than that for which ii Is
substituted This is unfortunate, but 1t
cannot be helped The spectacle of state
pilots lcyying their heavy uneafned tolls
on ships that do not need their services

The cupidity of Federal place hunters
aud party hacks. The more these men
think of the mine so easily and proftably
worked by the State pilots, the more they
all want TO put the whole business under
Federal management, with bureau hay
ing the appointment of inspectors and
clerks as well as pilots by the hun
dreds.
Relief IS what is wanted by the enor'
mously overtaxed shipping, domestic as
well as foreign; and if the States will
not afford it, then, for a change and pos
sble improvement, we are forced 10 look
to the Federal authority. And we shall
not look in vain. There is hope that
