DEALING IN DESTINY.

Spirits, not alcoholic, but the invisible
agents of the cabinet seance, have hitherto
proved If little practical use or profit ex-
cept to the professional mediums; but the
arch-medium, Ann O'Delia Diss De Barr
has exhibited them in new light. She
AYERS that they recently told her that she
was destined to marry Luther r. Marsh.
The latter, to be sure, asserts that the spirits
forgot to mention the matter to him, but
perhaps the spirits, and very rightly,
thought Madame Diss De Barr could be re-
lied upon to reveal her destiny to him with
out delay.
In this communication the spirits convey
ahin. of what splendid field they command
as matrimonial brokers or agents. If it were
to become generally known that the spirits
possess the ability to reveal the matrimonial
destiny of man, there is ne denying that
they, and the mediums, would speedily be
besieged by anxious lovers of both sexes
What would be the use OF a young gallant's
buying diamond solitaires, opera tickets
and bonbons for a girl who might as likely
as not marry the other fellow, when he
could for q moderate fee discover for GER
tain whom it had been fated for him to
marry? There is economy and precious
remedy for the pangs of doubt that afflict
every lover, in this simple revelation from
spirit land.
But before it can be recommended to the
public one or two little points must be es-
tablished. It will not do for the spirits sim
ply to declare that such mai is destined
to marry srch woman. They will have to
offer examples of their matrimonial pre-
dictions fulfilled, or Notwithstanding their
well-known aversion to mundane methods
of doing business, they must satisfy appli-
cants by instructing the medium to give
bonds in cash or approved real estate for
the delivery of the piece of select destiny
in question.
Destiny is not worth a spirits rap if there
be any doubt Of the full delivery of the
goods.

ANARCHISTS APTLY DESCRIBED.

A gentle creature named Jens Christen-
sen, who furnishes the blood and fury for
the columns Of the Arbeiter Zeitung in
Chicago, laid down his awful pen and his
red ink bottle to make music for a select
gang of Anarchists, who assembled to curse
capitalists and otherwise improve the shin
ing hour in room appropriately called
Griefs Hall Jens, if he will permit the
familiarity, did not say much that we have
not heard before, and it may be that his
speech was merely condensation of his edi-
torial demands for gore. or this matter we
cannot judge, because the Ar6eiter Zeitung
has not been reaching us regularly OF late.
But we must admit thatJens came nearer
speaking sense than men of his class usually
do, when he asked in high falsetto prob
ably: "Shall it be permitted that a small
heap of lazy, privileged men shall stop the
progress of the world?" No, of course, is
the answer that the speaker expected, and
which we are also willing to give him. Jens
did not mean to describe his anarchistic
brethren in that sentence, but be did it all
the same with wonderful accuracy. They
are lazy lot Of wrstches who seem to be
privileged to talk treason and infammatory

DEADLY STATISTICS.

A medical cotemporary is authority fol
the statement that doctors are increasing al
a rate per cent faster than the population.
Mis- might be made to lead to many con-
clusions, all more or less alarming. We
might argue that these statistics show that
the doctors are wonderfully successful in
keeping the population in check. 1t also
would seem to give ground for the belief
that doctors increase more rapidly than the
general public because, as is notoriously
the fact, they are averse to taking their own
medicine.
Again, we might indulge in gloomy fore
bodings as to the future when the increase
of doctors in excess of patients shall have
brought the latter to the vanishing point.
The contemplation of a world made up en-.
tirely of doctors, even at distance of sew
eral hundreds of years, is too painful to
linger upon. We prefer to believe that the
ratio will not continue long in this condi-
ton; that it will be reversed in fact, as the
world becomes better educated and the
necessity for so many ministers to our
feshly ailments disappears.
1t is also suggested by fairly accurate
authority that lawyers are also increasing
faster than their clients. But this is
altogether too awful a subject to discuss at
all
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-02-28

established beyond denial, is there nothing
to do concerning them, for the organs OF
public opinion in Pennsylvania except to
vilipend the people outside the State who
hold them up to public reprobation?
The abuses set forth in the report are that
the combination between coal carriers inn
poses excessive charges on coal and arbi-
trarily keeps up the price of fuel to the
working people of the East, with one hand,
while depressing the wages of the workers
in the coal regions with the other; that this is
done by the smothering of competition both
in the sale of coal to consumers and in
hiring the labor of workers; that both the
common law against combinations in re-
straint of competition, and the constitu-
tional prohibition against the ownership by
railway corporations of mining and manu-
featuring enterprises, are nullifed and de-
fed; and finally that the Legislators and
executive officers of the State of Pennsyl-
vania refuse to enforce the Constitution
against the great corporations, and leave
the common people subject to their exac-
tions. The Bulletin admits the existence of
the abuses, but virtually says that no one
outside the State has any business to say
anything about them.
If no better answer than this can be made
to the charges, would it not be more peril
nent for the press of the State to unite in
urging the necessity of asserting the supe-
riority of the Constitution to the corpora
tions? Should nothing be done to rectify
admitted abuses?

THE BRIBERY RUMOR,

Rumor having produced the allegation
that $50, 900 purchased the defeat of the meat
inspection bill at Harrisburg, and having
indicated Mr.. Andrews as connected with
the affair, that gentleman could not do
better than call for investigation as he did
by the resolution adopted yesterday. If
there has been any corruption in the matter
it should be exposed and punished. If
not the fact should be shown, and the
persons who are circulating such charges
made to bear the responsibility of them.
There is the most cogent reason for disbeliev-
ing any such report from the improbability
that anyone would pay $50, 900 for defeating
a measure the very character of which fore
doomed it to defeat. The bill in question
was avowedly one to make the people of the
State pay high prices for beet for the benefit
OF certain classes; and if the Legislature
had been so besotted as to try to raise the
price of food, the United States Constitu-
tion would have speedily reduced the en-
actment to a nullity. People do not resort
to bribery except when it is necessary; and
a very slight respect to the principles of
legislation for the public benefit should de-
feat the inspection job.

MIR. SCOTS REPORT.

The report of Mr.. James D. Scott to the
State Board of Charities, on the result OF
the Penitentiary investigation, will strike
the public as. in the main, very fair pre-
sentation of the case. In some respects
those who have followed the case may diff
fer from Mr.. Scott's conclusions; but it is
to be accepted as the finding of a gentleman
who showed his desire for a full and open
investigation, and is to be credited with
seeking an unbiased verdict.
One of the points on which thereis ground
for differing with Mr.. Scott, is his presenta-
ton of the fact that an electrical machine,
valuable for medical purposes, might by
the excitable temper of the hospital stew
ard, be used for purposes of discipline. so
as to be painful. The obvious reflection on
that point would be that a person of that
temper should not be charged with the in
Fiction of painful punishment, and that a
hospital steward, and most of all, the i'm
plements of hospital department, should
be kept wholly distinct from punitive
functions. So, too, with regard to the al
legged payments of money, while the evil
dence on that question may be conceded as
full of doubt, it hardly seems to warrant
quite SO summary dismissal as Mr.. Scott's
report gives it.
The practical result, however, seems to be
the same, no matter by what road it is
reached. The offending official being dis
charged and the determination of the man
agement to keep the institution above re-
proach being shown, the different views
which are taken from different standpoints
can be discussed with liberation.

her best to obtain his transfer to a Spanish
fortress on account of a chronic illness that
was undermining his health. The Republican

NO DISCRIMINATION

Interstate Commerce Bill.
WAsHINGToN. February 1.-THE Senate to-
day discussed the two House amendments to
the Senate bill TO amend the interstate COM
merce law, but took no action.
Sherman favored concurrence in the two
House amendments. One of them gave to
state Courts jurisdiction Tin certain cases) of
questions arising under the act. AS to the
other House amendment, it simply made it un-
lawful for any common carrier to transport re-
fined oils, etc., for any shipper owning, leasing
or controlling cars, tank or cylinder, ex-
cept on condition that the railroad CON-
pany shall charge the same rate
per carload for the transportation
as 1t charges for oil transported in
barrels. he referred to the Standard OIL Com
pany as gigantic corporation which was not
only able to buy cars, but also to buy railroads:
1t combined, he said, in one corporation of
trusteeship 80 or 100 different corporations, in
for railroads, and which furnished the tank
and cylinder cars on condition that no other
shipper, except the Standard Oil Company,
should use them. In this way the Standard OIL
Company had complete and absolute monop-
oily of the business
His sense of equity rebeled against the injus-
tlce done to smaller dealers. and he thought,
therefore, that the adoption of the House
amendment would be wise in every sense of
between rich and poor. The poor refner, who
disposed of eight or ten barrels a day in home
made coopered barrels had to be treated by the
railroad companies on the same plane of eoral-
1ty as the giant corporation which was dealing
with some 30, ,OO0O 600 barrels year.

PRUDENCE AND POLITICS.

1t is highly interesting to find the wide
awake, but at this season hopelesslY Demo-
cratic Chicago Herald up in arms because
General Harrison's pastor in his prayer last
Sunday 5esought the care OF Providence
for ''Thy servant whom Thou hast called to
be the chief magistrate of this people. :"
This is denounced as ''an annunciation Of
the divine right of Presidents" and as
otherwise obnoxious to the Democratic po-
litical theories. 1t is perhaps natural for the
Democratic press to deny that Providence
had any influence in the late election, since
their candidate was beaten; and the Her.
AIDS idea is very clearly to the effect that
the other power carried the election. But
it is hardly worth while to get in stew
over people vino claim that Providence is
on their side, especially when they have
the heaviest electoral battalions. Never
theless, it is amusing to observe the energy
with which the Herald repudiates the UO1

THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

That interesting gentleman, Mr.. Pigott,
adds pathos to the previous humor of the
situation in the Parnell case, by winding
up his latest communication to the Times
counsel with the statement, 81 will write
again soon." If the state of mind of the
''Thunderer" and Of the Attorney General,
Sir Richard Webster, could be fully por-
trayed, it would probably discover no press
ing solicitude for further letters from Mr..
Pigott. The mere mention of his literary
commodities or of himself must produce a
sinking sensation among his sponsors, in
marked contrast with the hilarity of the
Parnellite party.
o Mr.. Pigott is decidedly interesting old
man. What the Government and the Times
people will do with him when they catch
him-to what possible good use they could
apply him-is beyond conjecture. But it
does seem hard that the Parnellites should
try to punish him. he has been the singu-
lar instrument of showing up in a singular
way the wretched basis for the ISLANDERS that
have so long been heaped on the Home Rule
leaders,
