The lecturer took Yery sirong” grounds on the sudject, supporting his zrrument with some facts as well 23 ingenious <heories. He believed that Spiritnalism was 3 revolution, nota reform. Spintualism was spirit selection, and a8 such was & revolution much 10 be desired. ' It was not opposed to true coneervatism.

His other Chicago creditors, who did ot demand 2 statement of his assets, have thus fer gotten pothing. There was a sinall gathering of Socialistsat 7 Clark street last evening to discuss the propriety of causing a bill to be introduced at Sprinzield this winter in favor of women suffrage, It was an ex- ceedingly tame afsir. and, while most of them awere in favor of the project, they were uncqual to 1he task of making any greater argument than that women were natarally agitators, and when once the Sociglists got their sympathy their cause ~would go forward rapidly. Those taking the op- posite View were opposed to the projecton the zround of expediency, holding that the working- Toen shoulg first be liberated. and that the woman- suflrage women of the country—2Xre. Livermore, Swisshelm, and others—were enemics of Socialism, cte. One of the Jatter-named took the position that mine-tenths of the women did not want 10 vote. ond urged 2s a reason that all tast was corrapt and iniquitous was associated with the ballot-hox. .He went on to say that. when Socialism obtained its object. the ballot-box wonld ‘beno more, as it coutemplated wiping it ont, and up’to 1 late hour the discussion was still in prog- sess.

The discussion was opened oy Mr. A. J.

Gen. Banks did not have any opinion to cxpress s 20 whom the coming man on the Republican side wonld be, although he had, of course. heard more or less talk about the ‘seversl prominent names which have been mentioned. He thonght *‘the policy™ had served its purpose. but that the cnange was not only proper but necessary under the circumstances. As Lo the silver question, tke General declined 10 say anything, except that he was emphatically a silver manand a firm believer in the future of the silver dollar.

Bird came up before Judge Rogers Saturday _afternoon. Bird, it will be remembered, was ‘‘tagen in™ some time ago on the complaint of W. C. Bridgett, wno coarged him with cheating him ont of £500. Bird then filed a petition for habeas corpus, eaying that Bridgzett was a well-known jail-bird. and that le bad ut- tempted to rob petitioner, but finding himself un- succeseful had tarned round and cowmplained that he himself wasrobbed. The facts were tound out when Bridgett was arrested for robbery on the West Side. Dridgett was brought into the court-room with the handcnfls on. He took the stand, and, after being warned that he need pot say anything fo criminate himself, was asked if he wanted to p ccute Bird for the allexed aitempted robbery. ter consuiting his attorney. ne proposed 1o cail 1t **square, " tha drop the charge sgainst Bird it the charge of robbery azainst atmself was drovped. Then the Judge said he nad nothing to do with that matter. Bridgett then agreed to withdraw the charge aganst Bird. and thie latter was therenpon released for want of prosecution, while Bridgeit was re- manded to jail to await his examination on the charge of robbery of a physiciau on the West Side.

Culver, C. jil. Adamy, E. B. Ste- vens, and W. J. Pope, the Sub-Committec appos ed Ly the Grain Receivers’ Associstion to visit ralroad officials and see what could be done to prevent a continuanceof the discrunination azainst Caleazo, visited J. T. Sanford, Master of Trans- portation of the Rock Island Road, yesterday. The anterview between the Committee’ and that gentle- man, tbonzh quite lengthy, is said to have been of 2 character entirely satisiaciory to all interested. r. Sunford seemed disposed and ready to furnish such information in the premisesas he was able. andassured the Committec that the discriminations agaiost Chicago on grain from Omaba and the West were practically at¥an end. He added, s0 it i8 stated, that he bad labored assiduously to pug-a s10p 10 the discriminations, which he was ready to concede had existed, althongh he contendea that they originated with lines other than his own. e is reported to have informed the Committee that negouations which had Leen pending for some days for the purpose of cffecting an arrange- ment by whnich the diversions from Chicazo of graln which richtfaily belonged to her would be stopped, were, he believed, consummated yes- terday, and that hereafter ‘there would be no serious trouble. - - He was, it is safd, very guarded in bis remarks concerning the otfier lines in the Yows pool when interrogated with refcr- ence 1o the action such lines had taken in the di- version of grain to Milwankee and Peoris, but the mpression left on the mings of the Committee by the interview was, i is sad, to the effect that theee other lines had not excrelsed good faith in the matter, or bad acted indiacreetly. Mr. Sanford stated to the Committee it was now and always had Deen the palicy of his Comvany to bring grain to Chy rather than to any other termiua! point, and that the Compsny never had discriminated acainst Chicago in any business exther originating on or delivered to ita lines. This the Com- mitiee is_eaid to not only belleve, bat, farther, that Mr. Sanford s mot in sympathy with any movement either started or promoted by other lines o so divert business from Chicazo. When it is remembered that the basiness from Omaha amounts ‘to_abont 2,000 cars per moath, all of which bss lately been diverted from Chicago, it can be readily aporeciated how satisfactory the in- terview proved. and how pleased the Committee muat have been to learn that this immense busi- ness, which seeks Chicago, and which Chicago de- sires to have, will 80 soon be honorably re her. + : A B HOTEL ARRIVALS.

So are the coal-men, the shoemakers, and the clothiers. A lecture with such a title as this ought to takein Chicago: “Some Mistakes ol a Bank President, or a Trip Through Europe.” The weather man does not know exactly how much snow fell the past few days, but he thinks all that was loose came down. t ‘The private diamond oflice of Messrs.

A lady named Mary Magui-ah, had trouble in lightiog ber fi-ah; the wood being treen, she used kerosene. (Pause. Then continue sotemn- ly.) She has gone where the fucl is dryab. The well-known wholesale and retail grocer, Mr. J. T. Moran, No. 263 State street, is even better prepared than ever for the holiday trade. Mr. Aforan will be remembered as being one of our oldest and most retiable merchants, having been established since 1566. His stock of teas, coffecs, and fancy groceries is onc of the largust and best-selected in_the city, his teas in par- g unusually fine, and his prices re- y low in every department. These are the times when the voung man who receives a worsted bull-pup with head, eves, and a pen-wiper caudle attachment, .from Dis “teousin,” makes a return for the same with a fifty-dollar locket, purchased at the nine-cent bazaar. The best display of holiday zoods fs at the store of Charles W. Barnes, 148 State street. ‘Handsome seal sacques, sets of all kinds, ladies’ and zents’ seal hats, caps, zloves, and silkk nm- breltas, ail very aoproprite for Christmas gifts, aud offered at low prices. ‘The Mayor reccived a communication from Scotlend a few daysago asking for contributions to aid the stockholders of the busted Glasgow Bank.

It is unquestionably the veatest thing .in the market, and is already becomiog im- mensely popular. Price, $25 complete. People who would be happy are advised by philosuphers to **pay as they zo,” and a West Side grocer is moved to remark that some of his customers do—but they go most awfully slow.
