EFFECTS OF HAsHEEsH.


self Nnss MEETING.
Mr.. A. NJ. Eielde has recently re
counted his experiences under the in
fluence of hasheesh. He smoked the
hasheesh until he felt aprofound sense
of well-being, and then put the pipe
aside After few minutes he seemed
to become two persons; he was con-
scious of his real self reclining ON a
lounge, and of why he was there; his
double was liz vast building made OF
gold and marble, splendidly brilliant
and beautiful beyond all description.
He felt an extreme qualification and
believed himself in Heaven. This
double personality suddenly vanished.
but re-appeared in few minutes.
His real self was undergoing rhyth-
mical spasms throughout his body; the
double was a marvellous instrument,
producing sounds of exquisite
sweetness and perfect rhythm.
Then sleep ensued and all
ended. Upon another occasion
sleep and awakening came and went
40 rapidly that they seemed to be con-
fused His double seemed to be a sea,
bright, and tossing as the wind blew;
then a continent. Again he smoked a
double dose, and sat at his table, PEN
Gil in hand, to record the effects. This
time he lost all conception of time.
He arose to open a door; this seemed
to take a million years. He went to
pacify an angry dog. and endless ages
seemed to have gone on his return.
Conceptions of space retained their
normal character. He felt an unusual
fullness of mental impressions-enough
to fill volumes. He understood clair
voyance, hypnotism and all else. He
was not one man or two, but several
men living at the same time in differ
ent places with different occupations.
He could not write one word without
hurrying to the next, his thoughts
flowing with enormous rapidity. The
few words he did write meant nothing.
The experience admirably illustrates
the close relationship between states
of real insanity and transitory affec-
tions induced by psychic poisons.-

had their personal rivalries and per-
sonal ambitions, they always remained
loyal to their party, no matter how it
Jared with them individually, while in
New York personal animosities con-
trolled party fealty.
The art of "knifing" first came iHte
vogue sad was brought to perfection
in New York. In majority Of the
elections since 1896 the State wentDem-
ocratic, and when it did not go Demo-
cratic there was some division in the
party that forbade success. In 1848
Van Buren split the party on the free
soil question, and thus defeated GEN
eral Cass. In 1856 the party was di-
vided in two factions called lizard
Shells" and "Softs," and this, through
the assistance Of the "Know-Noth-
ings," carried the State for Fremont
against Buchanan. From 1856 down
to 1876 the State went constantly for
the Republican party, except in 1868,
when, the Democratic party being
again united, Seymour carried it
against Grant.
Such mas been the general history
of New York in the Presidential cleo
tions. 1t has never had the influence
it properly should have had, and che
day has now passed for it to regain the
scepter. Hereafter the Empire State
will be reduced to the same rank with
Virginia. The West now enters upon
its period of control in National issues,
and the homogeneous States Of the
Mississippi valley will for many years
to come dominate American politics.
Here a great, free and intelligent peo-
pie, unmoved by personal considera-
tions, will cast their ballots on the
side OF progress and reform. The
Herald gladly welcomes that auspicious

TWO FAITHFUL STATES.

AL Honor to the Intelligent Voters of
Connecticut and New Jersey.
All honor to the little States of New
Jersey and Connecticut.
Both have stood Loyalty by tho
Democratic President in the hour
when it had been feared that they, of
all the States which voted for him in
1884, would desert him.
Distinctively manufacturing States
both, the Republicans confidently ex-
pected them to heed the free-trade {"
scare-crow of the Republican cam
paign and abandon the Democrats to
an inglorious defeat. But the work.
ing-men of New Jersey are not the
ignorant and credulous dupes which
the Republicans assumed them to be.
They refused to be frightened by the
"free-trade bugaboo. On the con-
trary, they believe that ar unnecessa-
r1ly high taxation is an unjust and in
furious taxation, and they boldly gave
the lie to the Republican claims that u
reduction of the tariff would result in
u reduction of their wages, enrolling
their votes for, and giving their States
to, the honest and fearless advocate of
tariff reduction.
They have done their full duty to-
ward electing the tariff-reform Presi-
dent, and they deserve fully as much
honor from the Democracy as IL they
had elected him. Mr.. Cleveland was
beaten by the treachery of New York
Democrats, and by the side of that
treachery the courage and faithfulness
of the Democrats of New Jersey and
Connecticut shine all the brighter. -
