We remember the saying, thirds

to be taken possession Of by some
homeless non-descript, which will
firstly be looking for chance to
satisfy some desire which it still
retains, what, then, would be more
natural than that these desires
would be developed in the medium

from time to time, with one Of
these unclean spirits. And what
would be more natural than for a
spirit of this kind to represent it.

But why 60 into speculations?
Nature tells us that our body is
made for our own soul, and that
it should not be turned into an inn

the reporter will cheerfully 60 on

THERE is in many quarters a
disposition to judge the standing
and civilization of a nation by the
number of homicides in proper
ton to the population.
If this is a criterion, then we are
sorry to say that Chill, Italy and
the United States stand at the
head of uncivilized countries,
while Spain is bad fourth.
What terrible indictment those
statistics are: Homicides in the
United States, Isl per million
England, II per million.
The practice of people in this
country of carrying arms is prob
ably responsible for this state of
affairs. And while that practice
continues, there is little hope that
the infection Of heavy penalties
will have any tendency to decrease
the ratio.

WHILE Speaker Reed and his

Hawaii from being annexed to the

ans stole a march on them and an

did it was simply to refuse to de-

every way in their power aiding
and abetting the United States.
In doing this they have practically
declared war against Spain on our
account, and nothing remains for
the United States but to take them
into the fold, for they must be in
cluded in any peace that may be
made.

AMONG the institutions which
humanity may thank for doing
much for the unfortunates, and
thereby lessening the debt of So
ciety for it's shortcomings, is the
Howard Association, for the pro-
motion of the best methods for the
TREATING MT and prevention of crime,
etc. This association was founded
in 1866 under the auspices of Lord
Brougham, high chancellor of
England. It has done admirable
work, especially in England and
France, but it's field of action is
not confined to any country, and
it reaches forth even into such be-
nighted countries as Morocco with
it's strong arms for the ameliora-
ton and protection Of society's

OF THE many fads and isms
which nowadays stalk around and
look for adherents, there are prob
ably few which should be avoided
as sedulously as that which is
known under the name Of spiritu-
alism.
When you talk with those who
practice this science or art, what
ever you may call it, you will find
a great deal Of enthusiasm on the
subject Of the beautiful possibili-
ties Of being able to communicate
with the spirits of the departed.
Now, most writer's against this
practice scott and cry fraud. In
this they are probably wrong, as
we believe there is much delusion
but probably little fraud on the
part of the spiritualist. AS to the
fraud, we venture to advance the
somewhat novel idea that it is all
practiced by the ''spirits.'
Any impartial and painstaking
student can readily satisfy him.

drawn from them is a question
which is open to discussion. If the
spirits Of the departed are able to
communicate with us it is likely
that the law Of natural selection
would allow the spirit which was
the most material, or on the lowest
plane to communicate the easiest
through human medium.
It is generally supposed by
spiritualists that the spirit on de-

AGREAT divine recently preached
on the text: "What shall it benefit
a man if he gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?" The fun
damental idea of the sermon was
not how to save your soul by fol-
lowing Christ, but how to evolve a
scheme which would enable a man
to own the earth and it's contents
and also to wiggle into heaven.
This is a question which much
agitates the wealthy classes today,
especially in view Of the fact that
has Of late years come
to be a much more frequent source
of crime than it was twenty years
ago. There is little doubt that a
certain kind Of ministers will be

stacle as easily as they were able to
defend the continuance of slavery
upon the authority of the Bible be-
fore the war.

JOHN WOLCOT.
WHEN young man starts IN
life he has before him many pre-
cepts to set himself a high mark in
life and aim for it. That is a good
thing for the everyday plodder,
who will be satisfied to stay on the
ground and make no efforts to rise
above the level of commplace medi-
ocrity. But for man Of some
genius, spirit and ability the aim
ing at an unattainable object may
be the cause of hopeless ruin.
He starts in life, perhaps, with
a good education as his only capl-
tai, and proposes to enter upon
literary career. After many I'M
successful efforts he obtains some
recognition and finds market for
his productions. A happily exc
cuted idea makes him known and
gives him reputation which en-
ables him to get hearing for his
work, but which also invites un-
favorable comments from a class
Of critics who dare not attack an
author with an established reputa-
ton, and who rejoice in the op-
portunity to tear to pieces any one
whom they can assail it with i'm
punity.
This causes the writer much
pain and depression and causes
him to deprecate his own work.
There comes a time when energy
and intellect seem to flag, when no
new ideas come to him, when the
words come sluggishly from his
usually fluent pen, and as he looks
back upon the bright things which
he wrote in the flush Of youth and
he begins to fear that he
has passed the climax; that what
he regarded as merely the begin
ming of a long career Of literary
triumphs was all and the best he
can ever do, and his little reputa-
ton stands up to threaten him if
he should produce anything un-
worthy of it, and so to force and
stimulate the tagging spirit or to
soothe the growing dread, he has
recourse to the deadly narcotic or
the seductive stimulant, which
will soon be the masters, and the
promising career is blighted and
the subject on its way to the in
sane asylum, the prison or a dis
honored and untimely grave.

Mans inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn.

Much has been said about the
Russian system of exile to Siberia
and it's attendant hardships, and
it must be admitted that the suf-
ferings endured by the poor ex-
lies we're fearful, especially during
the period Of forwarding to the
various points Of destination.
The means of transportation for
forwarding prisoners we're hope
lessly deficient and inadequate, if
not altogether wanting. Thus a
forwarding prison which was built
to accommodate 500 persons was
frequently made to hold no less
than 1900.
The blame for this condition,
however, should not be laid on the
shoulders of the men who are in
charge of the prisons and the for
warding of prisoners, but more on
the Russian official system of doing
business, with it's endless circum-
locution and red tape.
Now, that the Trans-Siberian
Railway is nearing completion,
many of these hardships Of trans
portation will undoubtedly be done
away with.
Little blame should be laid on
the men whose bitter duty it has
been to handle that wretched
stream Of y-hearted humanity
which annually wends it's weary
way across the Urals. These men
are for the most part soldiers, and
the accommodations provided for
them are in many cases Of such
wretched character that similar
treatment would be considered very
barbarous by a prisoner in this
country.
In some of the forwarding pris-
ons, virulent epidemics Of typhus
and other contagious diseases often
play havoc with both the prisoners
and guards, Thus the death rate
in the prison mentioned above was
nearly 800 year.
But the most pathetic side Of
this wretched business is the great
number of women and children
who voluntarily suffer these priva-
tons in order to follow husbands
and fathers into exile.
That these are not singular and
exceptional cases will be seen from
the fact that out of total OIL
