HYPNOTISM seems to be favorite pastime
in Washington. Hypnotism is the modern
phrase for mesmerism, which has grown
somewhat threadbare. An Eastern ex-
change says:
''Mr. w. A. Croffut, executive officer of the
Geological Survey, and GovernOrN. j. Col
man, Commissioner of Agriculture, give Oc-
casiOnal soirees hypnotiques. at which they
hypnotic numbers of 'sensitives.' During
some recent experiments by Mr.. CrOffut,
two young ladies, temporary victims of the
hypnotic hallucination, were taken into an
imaginary picture-gallery and there left,
while the operator turned his attention to a
young man who was engaged in the danger
Gus pastime of catching crOc0diles. On re-
turning to the ladies, Mr.. Croffut found
that he could not make them cOgniZant of
his presence. They did not appear to see
him, or hear his voice, and when he stood
directly in front of them they took no
notice of him whatever. 1t was a new and
somewhat alarming experience, and quar-
ter of an hour passed before the hypnOtizer
re-established his domination and brought
them back from the land of Dreams"
Perhaps these able government officials
are qualifying themselves to enter the
lecture field in certain contingency. The
incident suggests the horrible possibility
that they may hypnotic large numbers of

Coming Back Into the Fold.

Following the lead of the Graphic the
Boston Herald will become a Republican
character to it's large circulation. As a
leading New England newspaper, the Her
aid has not been in harmony with the peo-
pie of that section on the leading lines of
public policy that have been at political
issue. Its transfer to the Republican camp
is a recognition of the triumph of the pro-
tective tariff policy, which had its origin
in New England as has always been ably
supported in and from New England. The
nal, but is understood to have fallen off as
a mugwump and Democratic organ. 1t
will certainly be more prosperous than
ever as Republican paper, because it Is
an excellent and superior newspaper, and
because it will be on the right side.

have been made during the present admin
istration, but no one of them has aroused
more and juster opposition than the naming
of fourth-rate lawyer like Bailey. who has
been the intimate associate of the Indiana
gang of ballot-box suffers and tally-sheet
forgers to so important an Office as a United
States district attorneyship. The Demo-
cratic papers have contended that the Re-
publican opposition to Bailey's confirmation
arose from fear that he might he too en-

There is just as much reason 10 suppose
That the President was persuaded to with

General Harrison of the discussions about

journalism for tie past two months. To
sagacious reader of the newspapers asGen-

competitors who want TO be taken into the

Joseph Lyman, of Iowa, will not return
to his seat in the House. He has gone home
to die. The disease which has followed
cline a third election TO Congress, has taken
a firmer hold and will soon carry him of.
Lyman came into fame as the homeliest
man in Congress on his first arrival four
years ago, and nobody has appeared since

one of the brainiest and most hkable men
on the Republican side. He is a brave fell

work months ago, but he has stuck to it
with bulldog grit till now.

MICHIGAN will try what is known as
the indeterminate system of prison sem
fences. The Governor recommended it
in his recent message, and the prison
boards have indorsed the draft of bill
embodying it. The bill is modelled close
ly after the Ohio law which, instead of
making prison sentences for a fixed term
makes them depend on the character and
conduct of the prisoner.

OUTSIDE of matters pertaining to their

This fact makes their professional mar

by the Board of Health wrangle. The

being ashamed for them.

Baltimore, July 15.-Parts Of the book, Our Chris
tian Heritage written by Cardinal Gibbons, which VIII
appear next October were through the courtesy Oh inc
publishers, John Murphy Co., submitted TO the hasty
reading Of Associated Press reporter this evening
The book does not deal with the controversies asated
since the Reformation, nor aim at vindlcatng he
claims of the Catholic Church as superior to those OF
the separate branches Of Christianity. 1t has nothing
to say against any Christian denomination that SUN
retains faith in least the divine mission OF jesus
Christ. The book shows that such fundamental
truths underlying Christianity as the existence, the
providence and the omnisciencc of God the immortality
Of the SOUL the existence of free WILL and the essential
distinction between moral good and evil, are all sus
ceptble OF being demonstrated by unaided reason
while they made still moro luminous by the ight Oh
Christian revelation. The latter part OF this volume
contains series Of chapters exhibiting the superiority
of Christian over pagan civilization. There IS an
important chapt:" on labor. The Cardinal concludes
