DULUTH, April 20.-Dr. Henry Slade, the
well-known spiritualist, has been here for
several weeks delivering lectures on spir-
Itualism to immense audiences. But he
will deliver no more in this city for many
day to come. For some days there have
been rumors among people about town
that Slade was indulging in vicious
practices. The authorities got
wind of his performances, and
yesterday succeeded in entrapping
him. The landlord was SO indignant
when he learned the infamous character
of the man he was harboring that he
thrashed him soundly and then kicked
him into the street. He was then brought
before Mayor ID. Autremont, who ordered
him to leave town on the first train. He
left for Minneapolis.

Let me say to you that when you en-
courage the competition, which has stead
lily reduced wages, you stand midwsyS
between most debasing poverty and most
bloody revolution. Remember, sirs, that
we have known better things, and that II
we have not the wrongs of serfdom to re-
venge, neither have we the patience of
serfs TO endure.
There Is not corner of your vast do
main of trade or speculation that is ten
able.
How long will you base your mercan-
tile system on the low wages paid to en-
ployes, and make every city dry goods
store destroyer Of virtue, psnderer to
lust, gateway to prostitution, before
you read the curse denounced against
those whose ''steps take hold on hell?"
Here again, let the sales-ladies OF your
city stores, or If shame compels their 81

any exsggeration. What can they do,
these women who must keep soul, or at
least vitality, and body, together on
wages commencing at $l5 month and
growing, In two or three years perhaps,
to $2OH Even out of that pittance you
must have your fine for any broken rule.
At the door of your establishment you

What insults are daily heaped upon

You say to US that these are proViden-
tlsl conditions and are awarded by that
just Being to whom is set apart one day
yearly OF national thanksgiving.
1t Is strange how synchronouS, not to
say synonymous, wlckedness and riches
are In the Divine mind. The two ideas,
the two words, are side by side from Gen
esis to Revelations. Are we to believe
that from Moses, by way of all the proph-
cts and apostles unto st. John, these men
were calamity hOwlersY". Or else have

turies, that rocks were craven of His fin
ger? Must it be written over every woe

"Go to now, ye rich men, weep and
howl for your mlseries that shall come
upon you. Your riches are corrupted,
and your garments are moth eaten. Your

and shall eat your flesh as It were fire.
