About the Gospel of Repairs.

He1o Z 0rE HeTdtd NInd.l.
Mr.. Chandler should be more careful, as we
cannot afford to be deprived of our navy. He
should at once have every vessel hauled up on
land, put under cover and carefully preserved,
where they will not be subject to the insidious
attacks of the Insolent Britisher. The ex-
pense involved would not be large, as the size
of the navy is quite moderate. But something
should be done to protect that Roach Robson
navy which will perpetuate to admiring pos
terity the beauties Of the gospel OF repairs"

Lulu Hurst gave an exhibition of her
powers at Wallack's Theatre, New York,
Saturday to a company Of invited guests.
She performed the same feats that she per-
formed in this city. Nobody thought that
there was any trickery in her perform
anees, but the doctors disagreed respect
ing the source of her power. Some
thought her simply a very strong girl.
Others attributed her power to the princi-
pie Of suggestion. Among the latter num-
Der was DR.. William A. Hammond, the
well known New York physician. Hesaid:
The power which Miss Hurst claims to
possess is nothing new, and the fact that
multitudes may be simultaneously i'm
pressed with the same belief is no guaran-
tee that the belief is founded on reality.
Miss Hurst succeeds solely by the prin-
ciple of suggestion acting on the mind or
the individual. Outside the realm OF
mathematics l don't deny that anything
is possible, but the principle OF sugges-
ton is well-knOwn force. Miss Hurst
is probably a strong woman, too, and
knows how to use her strength. There's
a good deal in that. But as to the prin-
ciple of suggestion, let me tell you.
Some time ago performed an experiment
weighing about pound and half, and
placed it in the corner there in the presence
of young man of highly nervous Or
ganization, and hence well fitted to be
acted upon by the force of suggestion.
Now L said to him seriously, Pm going
to make this table so heavy you cannot
raise it, placed the ends of my fingers
of both hands on the table, and stood there
some minutes. The young man watched
me with great interest. When L saw that
his attention was concentrated l removed
my hands and told him that the
table was fastened to the floor. He took
hold of it with both hands and appeared
to be making violent effort to raise it
from the floor, but he could not. l saw
that instead of lifting, as he really believed
he was, the young man was in reality
pressing with all his might toward the
floor. Finally he broke the table by push
ing. Then he desisted and asked me to
tighten the table. made few passes,
told him he could raise it easily, and he
did without appreciate eXertiOn. There
it all is. When you thought you were
trying to hold the umbrella in Miss
Hurst's hands still, you were in reality
moving it yourself. That's my opinion"

The impression seems 70 be that ma.
jority and a minority report on the taEln
viii be presented 10 the convention. Inc
committee which is charged with drafting
the platform appears 10 be made up Oh
three clearly defined factions. One fac
ton is composed of protectionists, one OF
tarif-for-revenue only men and one Of men
who have no settled convictions on the
tariff. and who want to report meaning
less and ambiguous tariff resolution. The
protectionists viii, Of course, demand
at least incidental protection, ana tDe
straddlers will want resolution which
viii look both ways-towards protection
and a tariff for revenue only. The tariff
for-reYenue-only men viii doubtless In
sist that the party shall stand by its
record. 1t is difficult to see how the party
can ignore the platforms Of 1876 and 1880
and the action Of the party in the House
last winter. The party Is committed TO q
tariff solely for revenue, and for the con-
ventiOE to declare for anything else
would be TO admit that the position Of
the Republican party has been and is
right, and that the position of the Demo-
cratic party has all along been
wrong. For the party to a5an-
don its position on the tariff would
be nothing more nor less than aid
ing the Republicans to win the
Presidential contest. In the face of its
record the Democratic party can make no
concessions to the protectiOnists that
will be regarded as sincere by the people.
Concessions Of that kind will be move
ment backward, and while they will win
no Republican votes they will ALLEVIATE
many Of the staunchest Democrats. II
two reports on the tariff resolution are
made, the contest on the floor of the
convention will be protracted perhaps,
and bitter. 1t is thought that the major.
ity is in favor Of the tariff declaration
that appeared in the platforms Of 1876
and 1880. but as the disposition appears
to be to please everybody, it is not GER
tain that a backward step with respect tc
the tariff will not De taken.

The broad smile that wrinkled the face
of the Senate when the nomination of the
diminutive and youthful Frank sperry
was announced as the appOintee to the

induced the President to hastily with
draw the nomination Of that ambitious

Of Public Moneys at Bismarck, in the
same Territory. Young sperry is not to
be blamed for aiming high.
