The llcautlfnl McCartney, of the Me

but very uncertain. "or a time he played

Mr. McCartney, of Metropolis, who is
the twin of Mr. I). I.. Davis, of the Sun,
is in the city. Mac is a liand'oincr man
Kouiewhat than D. I.., hut on the hole,
they as nearly resemble each other ns
two peas resemble each other. It has
been said, on tever.U occasions, that Mr.
Davis resembles Mr. McCartney more
than Mr. McCartney resemble him, but
wethlnk'thls i Is a mistake; and, really,
those who have given the subject clo5c
attention arc Inclined to decide that Mr.
McCartney Is not far from resembling
Mr. Davis more tliau Mr. Davis resembles
lilin. That Davis resembles Mac about
the mouth, no one can doubt. In both
their mouths can be seen at a glance the
comely cat-tlsh cxprrson. It is also
conceded tliat Mac resemble Davis about
the ears. The length ol them is pro
verbial, nnd it has been observed that
both their vpVsco arc pllehtd exactly to
the key of a tlrst-clan bray.

$tj lately, tub Sttpwu'c Court of Indiana,
we learn from our exchanges, made (nine
" Uttc res ting decbloni in relation to tho
use, of tho trectof cities by railroad
i. ocwipBles. In one cao the court held
!j7 that, under tho stotutcs of tho State ro
u.Wfl to aklng tad recording town

pancy or the street hy a stoa'hi .mllroatl
company with Us track , con
stitutes a new annronriatlnu ol
such . u character as to authorize
the owners of adjoining lots to recover
damages. The court held this to he an
additional service, a use ouhldo of and nt
variance with the design contemplated
hi the dedication ol streets to the tise of
the public. The supporting facts on
which these, decisions rest arc that run
ning a railroad along n struct damages
the value of abutting property by nrrlug
and cracking the plastering and wall", by
the smoke, sparks, dut and nol-c, and
by other inconveniences consequent
upon the use ol 'team ns a motive power.
At the same time, the principle was enun
ciated that running street cjrt by horse
power, not tea in. U not audi a variance
from tlit proper use of the streets, In
new of their dedication, a to entitle
owners to datnhgo-i.

What was the matter with Mertz of
Mound City mi l-t Saturday? Did he
mean to snub Hon. .tohn Dougherty
when, niter Oberly and Dotigheriy hud
both made speeches, he moved n vole ot
thanks to Ohcrlv nnd did uot to Doueli-
ertvY Whs tho man who edited n con-
iierhend paper during thu war more to bo
honored hv Mcrl. than the man who nl
mo.t sulleivil niiirf vitlom for tho enUo of
tlio Union ? Has Men, gono iiaek on
tlie friend.-' of our country? Ilow is
this?
Mr. McCartney, evidently angry be
c.iuo he had not been Invited to deliver
tho dedication oration, docs Mr. Merl.
Injustice when ho intimates that that gen
tleman's action on the occasion referred
tonbovo was dietnted by any deposi
tion on hi part to IiiMilt f!nv.
Dougherty. Mr. Mert, a l!c-
publlrau, moved a vote of thank to Mr.
Obcrly, and Dr. Condon, a Democrat,
moved a vote of thank to Gov. Dough
erty. Xo pnlltli'nl con-lderation In
fluenced .Mr. Mertz. His action showed
that he could, on an occasion such as he
was then participating In, rle above all
partisan cou-lderallons and Dr. Con
don's showed, In behalf of the Democrat
present, mat they also, on sucli occa
sions, left party onto! slew. Mr. Mc
Cartney Is" hard to please, r else he
would recognize the antiropriatcur ef
the manner hi which the thanks of the
audience were tendered to the strikers.

We have an ab-olutc nssunuw. from
tho editor of the Cairo JitlUtin''iiAt a
power has, by a .-iinple mcchaiiK-al con
trivance, been evolved from cold water,
that will, hi a short time, ! sucec-.-fully
applies 10 me pmpuiMou oi an hinu- or
machinery that is now driven hr steam.
Tlic editor ol the Scirn'ijie Atnrriean pro
nounce. i no new motor an "arrani nuni
bug from bciiiiinltiir to end." Hut what
ol that? The editor of tho IMltiin, dUre
gardiug the testimony of millions of n
siblc, elear-headed women anil nu n, pro
nou nets sniritual phenomena, "cruel
fault iu this behalf, cannot the Mnlifr
Antricn be ml taken In it etimatc"of
the ik'W motive power? The dliK-ltiou
to cry down wliat wc cannot in a moment
coiniirvhetul, U entirely too prevalent,
and both the Bulletin and the Antruan.
Wo taJi If. havtf yivhlrtl tlnrrolo ntiurr
iiKvmsMeralHr. The Bulletin if estop
ped from anaUK-matlziog the American
a a "pot, hy the tact that tlx Afri
can may, with iu-tice. retort '-thou ket
tle."
In the above, the Oa:tt' Indulge In
the won-t kind of logic. We have not
denied the phenomena calb-d spiritual.
We know that a mysterious power moves
tables .and chairs, makes raps and
manifests intelligence. Wc admit the
phenomana, aud only refuse to believe
that they are produced by disem
bodied "plrits until better evidence than
wc have seen or heard of lia been fur
nished. To a-ik a man to licllevc that a
power discovered by Keely moves ma
chinery as steam does Is one thing, but
to ask him to believe that tho power is
spiritual, because it is mysterious, Is an
other thing. A man we know to be
truthful says to us: "I have s-eii the
motor anil have witnessed It operate ma
chinery." There Is no reason why we
should not believe him. Hut he
adds: '"The power that movd the ma
chinery, wag not steam, electricity or the
result ofcliemlcd action ; it was not hit
man; It warn spiritual power. The souls
of disembodied humans, operating
through the m6tor, moved It.'' There Is
then reason why wo should not believe
him. He Is none tlio lc-s truthful; but
ho has wandered from facts to specula
tion.
There Is no u-o to purue tho subject
further. e have surely said enough to
convince air. llarn-H that his motor
argument In favor of BplrltualUm I
Illogical. '
