An Indiana mindreader, instead of wasting
his capacities in exhibitions before a scep:ical
public, is putting them to practical use in fer
reting out crimes. He IS said to have already
recovered large sums of stolen money
(amOunts specifed) by means of his peculiar
power, and is engaged in working up other
important cases. 1t may be imagined that the
possession OF the mind reading faculty would
De OF great value to detective. 1t is to be
hoped that all would be mind readers will put
their powers to the same test as the Indiana
man, and when something practical comes
from their experiments they will receive
proper recognition. IL we may be permitted
to crafty professional pride without causing
any one to diScredit the story from Indiana.
we may add that its gifted hero is a news
paper man.

Only thirty business failures are recorded
for New York city duriug the month of Sep
TENDER. Manifestly there Is less inducement
for that sort of thing since the repeal of the
bankrupt act,-a law, by the way, which,
while ii enabled few honest men to regain
their footing, gave great many more rascals
an opportunity to Swindle their creditors
through the forms of legal procedure.

The dispensers OF rumors have performed
their office so skillfully that, however the race
between Courtney and HanOn may result the
losers in the betting will have the doubtful
consolation Of grumbling that they have been
cheated. New York is full of reports that
Courtney had "sOld" the race, and similar ru-
mOrS concerning HanlOn have circulated in
Montreal. The indiscriminate circulation of
charges Of this character goes far towards
reducing all professional athletes to the low
level OF a part Of the fraternity, and of warn
ing off square-dealing men. In athletic con-
tests as in politics, the continually suspected
and accused person is apt to act like some
parents in enforcing family discipline, and
give the public" something to CRY for"

The battle between the New York elevated
railway and its opponents, and the formidable
array of doctors and scientists on each side,
has ended as far as the grand jury is con-
cerned. The engagements from day to day
have been stoutly contested, and victory has
seemed to perch now on one and now on the
other Of the rival banners. Now that the con-
test has ended, the hOnorS Of war are divided.
The grand jury refuses to indict The elevated
road, but formally presents 1t to the attorney
general of the state and the legislature as
nuisance. 1t is not thought likely that the
legislature will take any steps against the
railway, provided the efforts to reduce the
annoyanees due to rapid transit are continued

Next Tuesday will be a great day for tb

Next Tuesday will be great day for the
politicians. All OF the remaining October
elections will be then decided; the result of
the November elections will be forecast; and
light will be thrown on such points of
doubt as the strength of the greenback party
In the West, and the chances OF It's Obtaining
controlling influence In the politics of the
Immediate future. The republicans have re-
covered somewhat from the effects of the
Maine disaster, and, deriving comfort from
the news from Colorado, look forward with
some hopefulness to the elections OF Tuesday.
The democrats now discover that they
have always had their own opinion of that
mean little state, Colorado. and their conf
dence that a victory awaits them on Tuesday
is only eqUalled by that of the nationals on tn e
same point. OF the four states to hold cleo
tiOns this month Iowa and West Virginia are
not in doubt. The republican Majority in the
former state may be reduced and one or two
Of the congressional districts are closely con-
tested. But the principal interest centres in
Ohio and Indiana. The former State is re-
publican with occasional democratic ieanings,
amounting last year to tumbiing- The DEM
Ocratlc plurality in the last election was 22,52J.
The extent of the democratic gain in the con-
greSsiOnal delegation, due 10 the redistricting
of the state, and the relative losses of the two
older parties to the nationals, are the points of
especial interest to be determined. The en-
gagement in Indiana viii be holly contested.
The greenback element in the state is strong
A legislature is to be chosen which will select
successor TO Senator Voorhees,, who is filing
out the uneXpired term Of Senator Morton.
This is the only Senatorsnip the political COM
plexiOn OF which will be determined this
month, as Colorado has already made her de-
ci,ion. The control of &c seats in the House of
Representatives is involved in Tuesdays cleo
tion- OF these, 80 are now held by the republi-
cans ard Is by the democrats. If the republi-
ciEs hold their own, they WILL taking into coz
Sideraiicn the Ohio gerrymander, gain the
ZEAL victory. The proba bilities are that they
will not do SO entirely, bat they may gain the
Indiana Senatorship.
