THE KANSAS SENATORS.

Senator Plumb stirred up the Senate

colleague. who was in the chair, was
compelled to call him to order, but it
was evidently a perfnnctory, admon-
ton for Senator ingalls,. whose office
hampers him somewhat, no doubt en-
loved the attack Plumb was making
on the Administration. Neither OF the
Kansas Senators are afraid to meet
any one in debate ingalls, is always
deliberate, graceful, sarcastic, and in
cisive in speech; Plumb is impetuous,
and swift as mountain torrent. Both
are always fully equipped at every
point, and are rarely, if ever, worsted
in debate; both read greatdeal; and
both have tenacious memories. When
Ingalls, attacks, his words flash and
cut like a Damascus blade in the
hands of a trained swcrdsman When
Plumb attacks he swings great bat

tor Ingalls, is the best parliamenta-
rian in the Senate; Plumb chafes and
frets under any rules. Both talk well
on almost any subject, for both are
endowed with clear brains and tena-
cious memories. They supplement
one another admirably, and there is
perhaps. as little friction between
them, Or jealousy, or plotting, as be

The OGense of Living.

President Eliot struck the right note
the other day when he characterized
lying as the one objectionable offense
which the faculty of Harvard would not
forgive. West Point has always acted
on this principle, and to such an extent
that the cadets themselves will not wink
at and condone the lie. They are taught
to expose the liar, under the feeling that
in their after lives in the army, truth is
the only basis on which they can live
with one another and administer disci-
pline. Nor are these the only institu-
tons that are determined to ostracize the
lie. Rutgers college not long ago actu-
ally expelled a student for the one Of

of the colored man in the South to the
whites, and insisted that the negro will
not be put or kept in antagonism to his
white neighbors. No one wishes him to
be so placed. But will he be any less at

potential because the colored citizen is in
sured full enjoyment Of his civil rights? 1t

colored voters at the North are any more

merely fear springing out of prejudice,
despite his denial-a fear that has never

hoods rights been realized, though ap-
pealed to in precisely the same manner
against classes, where the colored man, as
such, was not involved, This is neither
party nor a social question. but one touch
ing the quick of the principle of sef-gov-
ernment.
If Mr.. Grady speaks by authority of the
South, or so far as he voices its intent, his
speech cannot be construed other than as a
threat. 1t sounds very much like an echo
Of the expression of the South Immediately
subsequent to the first election of Abraham
Lincoln to the Presidency. The Republi-
can party has declared in its platform that
the suffrage rights of all citizens in all
parts of the country being guaranteed by
the Constitution and the laws, must be ac-
corded them. Upon that platform it has
elected a President Now comes Mr..
Grady, assuming to speak for the South,'
and in gracefully rounded and tragicalIy
pointed sentences declares that the South
must do as it has done, maintain its solid
ity and prevent the negro vote from ex-
preston at the ballot-box. That is the
plain and obvious meaning of the speech !;
it reads no otherwise between the lines
If at the North one class of citizens should
rise up and declare that because of igno-
rance and purchasableness the right of
another class to vote should be repressed
without form or authority of law, we ap-
prehend that any attempt to carry that
declaration into effect would rouse the ma
ton in way that would, if its voice woe
unheeded, compel bloody resort to arms.
Yet what Mr.. Grady proposes is nothing
short of the suppositious case we have
formulated. The Constitution guarantees
to the people in all the States that each of
the latter shall give them republican
form of government, and insure them in
the free enjoyment and exercise of every
constitutional right. If the nation is un
able to compel the States to keep this
guarantee, and must sit silent while State
sovereignties repress the citizens right, or
wink at its subversion, then a republican
form of government in Federal union is
a failure.

Mental Contagion.

Error, like truth, fourishes in crowds
At the hearth Of sympathy each finds a
home. The fanatical lead, the saner fol-
low. When person of nervous tempera-
ment, not strongly independent in thought
where he is constantly surrounded by con-
fident believers, all eager to have him
share their sacred visions and profound
revelations, where the atmosphere is replete
with miracles and every chair and table
may at any instant be transformed into a
proof of the supernatural, is it strange
that he soon becomes one OF them ?-hesi-
tatingly at first, and perhaps yet restorable
to his former modes of thought by the fresh
air of another and more steadfast mental
intercourse, but more and more certainly
and ardentlY convinced the longer he
breathes the seance atmosphere, No form
of contagion is so insidious in its onset, so
difficult to check in its advance, so certain
to leave germs that may at any moment
reveal their pernicious power, as a mental
contagion-the contagion of fear, of panic,
of fanaticism, of lawlessness, of supersti-
ton. The story of the witchcraft persecu-
tions, were there no similar records to de-
face the pages of history, would suffice
as standing illustration of the over
whelming power of psychic contagion. To
fully illustrate its importance in the pro-
duction of deception would require an

process and in every type of illusion. 1t
has least effect when deception is carried
on by external arrangements, by skillful
counterfeits of logical inferences; its power
is greatest where the subjective factor in
deception is greatest, more particularly in
such form OF deception as have been last
described.-Prof. Joseph Jestrow, in Popular
Science Monthly for December.

MR.. GRADY's FEARS.

Editor Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution,
has delivered an Grafton in which he
maintains that in seIf-defense the South
must remain solid, while admitting that
such policy will create solid North
also and thus complete sectional align
ment be made, which he assumes will be
permanent. Nevertheless he believes that
to be the correct policy for the South,
though it will place her in a minority, and
prevent her participation in the admins
tration of the Government. The reasons
assigned are, that politically divided the
whites will bid for the negro vote, (which
vote is ignorant, impulsive, alien, pur-
chasable and cannot be got rid Of The
National parties, finding here their cheap
est market and widest field, will pour in
here millions, adding to the corruption

the ballot-box will be hopelessly de-
bauched, all approaches thereto corrupted

the negro was enfranchised the South was
condemned to solidity as surely as self
preservation is the first law of nature"
That The situation is the result of the
rebellion he does not deny, but maintains
that the course of the South was honorable,
and its cause sacred. He therefore insists
that the South must maintain the political
and social integrity of her white race.
Mr.. Grady mistakes. No one proposes
that the social integrity of the whites
shall be broken. Not even the blacks ask
for more than political right. The breaking
down of social distinctions Is neither the
purpose of the laws, nor in contemplation
by law-givers or any of the people. If, ae-
eording TO the black, the right Of repre-
sentation Of his own choosing is result OF
the rebellion, and the South as Mr.
Grady declares, ''accepts the results
of the war without complaint" ii should
accept all of them. If the colored vote is
purchasable by reason of its Ignorance, II
must be and will be corrected through ed
ucation. The spirit of the age will oper-
ate in that direction, and progress cure the
evils attaching to ignorance. The pur-
chasableness Of voters, as Mr.. Grady well
knows, is not limited to any class of citi-
zens unfortunately, and that the South has
already used the colored vote through such
and other vicious agencies destructive Of
independence, is charge laid at its door,
and not successfully refuted. The orator
dwelt with emphasis upon the friendliness

there were killed in France by hunting
accidents nearly $4,000 men. OF these,
probably ten per cent. were fellows who
thought they knew how to ride or shoot,
and consequently attempted difficult ex-
