Mr. WASHINGTON HASTINGS is unfort-
innate ia his letter contributions to the
Morning News He should coniine him
self to contributions of backbone. In one
letter he charged that the amiable astro
nomical student Judge Humphries, was a
Scotchman. The Judge denied the i'm.
peachment and asserted that he was born
in Baltimore. Mr. Hastings then wrote
another letter asserting that Mr. Bent
president Of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
prny. did not say that he could sell steel
rails in England If he had free ore. We
print letter from Mr.. Bent
in another column in which he
admits writing the dreadful treason
which excited Mr.. Hastings and makes
the assertion that with free ore his com
pany could sell steel rails, at present
prices in England at greater profit
than they have made in the last two
years under a prohibitive protective
tariff Of $l7 per ton. These assertions,
of course, do not conform with Mr..
Hastings's notions Of how protection
ought to work. While the iron and
steel trade in Pennsylvania have
steadily declined under the high
est and most senseless protective
tariff, except that Of China, which the
world ever knew, farming lands in
Pennsylvania are selling for less than the
FIRST mortgage. The farmers cannot
make any money in this wonderful ''home
market, even in sight of the tall chin
neys Of the protected mills. In this
state Of affairs it would seem well for
Mr. Hastings to be little more careful
In his statements, for he is too amiabl,
and admirable a little gentleman to b
wrecked by the exploded theories Of pro
tectionism. He should allow tn,
News to make such little errors an'
fnconsistencies-the viii not hurt tn,

HPNoTIsM AND CRIME.
touestion as to the Responsibility
of Mesmeric Subjects.

VI AeSiueTlC ouuJSCtSs
At the international congress Of ex.
detrimental and therapeutical hypnot-
important subject discussed was the re.
lation of suggestion and somnambulism
to medical jurisprudence and the re
sponsibility in hypnotic states. This
report was read by NJ. Liegeois, profes
sor of law at the faculty Of Nancy. The
author classed the different questions
to be examined under four different
heads: J., criminal suggestion; 2, med
ico-legal reports; 3, criminal jurspru-
dence; 4, various questions. The first, the
most important of the medico-legal
questions raised by hypnotism is, he
said, the suggestions Of crimes or other
felonius acts that can be made to per-
sons in q somnambulic state. DIR. Lie
bault, of Nancy, was the first who sig.
nailed the possibility and the danger OF
like suggestions and the quest on has
since been discussed at the Academy Of
Moral and Physical Sciences. Itresults
from experiments made, that with GER
tain subjects and by various means a
state of profound somnambulsm can
be produced, and that in this state
acts can be suggested which, once the
accomplished with an absolute uncon-
seriousness. The author of these expert
ments concluded that the person com
hitting the material act ought to be
considered as irresponsible and the hyp-
notizer alone be punished. This doc
trine is protested by all the physicians
of the Nancy school, butts in direct OPP
position with the theories of the Salpe-
triere school.
Concerning medico-legal reports, Prof.
Liegeois said that if the possibility Of
making persons commit criminal acts
by suggestion be admitted, it might
happen that the author of the sugges
ton would not be known. Moreover.
the suthor of the criminal suggestion
might, and probably would, suggest to
the subject whom he wished to make an
instrument Of his vengeance or cupidity,
to not recall any of the circumstances
preceding the crime and to believe that
he alone has the idea of it, etc. The
amnesia thus aroused would be a serious
obstacle against the best directed efforts.
M. Liegeois' conclusions as to the IT.
responsibility of hypnotizable subjects
apply only to those who can be put into
profound state of somnambulism;
their automatism being absolute they
are not free, and therefore irresponsible.
He presented certain indications by
means OF which it could be shown that
the author OF the felonius act is hypno-
tizable, and to such point that he
could be lrreslstably made to rea'lze the
suggestions. Taxing as Q basis certain
experiments made by Profs. Liebault
and Bernheim, he thinks that somnam-

From all that can be learned from

AMERICAN WOMEN.

Carroll ID. Wright, commissioner
of labor, has contributed an excel
lent report upon the subject of
women labor i'm the United States.
Mr.. Wright shows that while, as a
rule, the wages of toiling women are
considerably below those paid to
men for similar service, the condi-
ton of the American working
woman is superior to that of her
sisters in all other lands. Where, a
century ago, she found one means
of earning livelihood, ten avenues
TO employment are now open to her
industry.
Intelligent and observing foreign
er9 are always deeply impressed with
the tenderness and solicitude of the
average American for his mother,
sister and wife. The relations be-
tween man and wife in Europe are
in sharp contrast to those governing
married couples in America. In
England and Germany the men are
devoid of that delicacy and refine
ment towards women found in the
behavior of the American man to-
wards the gentler sex. The Euro.
pean women are educated to expect
harsh treatment at the hands OF
their husbands; but the American
girl can not stand it, and hence we
find that nine-tenths of the mar
riages between girlsfrom the United
States and Europeans end disas.
trously, or at least unhappily. On
the other hand, unions between
German and English women
and American men are almost in
variably blessed with happiness and
marital felicity. The European CIR
knows when she has a treasure.
