Nestor of the Pulpit.

The oldest living preacher in the
United States is Rev. DR.. John Atkin-
son, who lives near Benton Harbor,
Mich. He was born in Pennington, N.
j., in 1897, and was licensed to preach
in 1914. In reviewing his life the other
day the old gentleman said: Il knew
Jesse Lee, the first missionary appoint
ed for the New England states. and
heard him preach; l knew Joseph Pit
more, ore Of the first two missionaries
sent by Mr. Wesley from the Leeds
England conference in 1747 to the
province of North America, and 1 at
tended his funeral, in Philadelphia. !

Joseph Totten, and joined the church
under John Walker. of Trenton circuit.
l want to tell you story about Joseph
Totten. One day he rebuked two
young ladies. daughters Of prominent
lawyer, who made point of disturbing
the services by entering the church late.

THE SITUATION.

On the recommendation of Special
Agent BoUDlNoT, the census superin-
tendent has ordered recount of five of
the Minneapolis districts, the recount
to be made under the supervision of the
special agent and by enumerators APP
pointed by him. This ought to result
i'll getting satisfactory return.
Adviees from MesSrs. MUM and
LAwLER, who had conference with
Attorney General MILLER at the coun
try place near Danville. N. Y..where he
is spending his vacation, convey the in
telligence that the interview was en-
tirely satisfactory to the st. Paul gen.
tIemen, and that the attorney general
has promised to furnish Mr.. HAY with
an assistant prosecutor. Viewing mat
tiers in the light that all disinterested
parties see it, the attorney general
seemed surprised that Mr.. HAY should
be governed by local influences.
1t is now question of some i'm
portance as to who will be the assistant
prosecutor. 1t is very sure that a
wooden man will not fill the bill. He
ought to be live, active man, and one
of sufficient legal ability to hold his
ground against the array of talent that
will be employed on the other side. For
some reasons it would be better that the
assistant attorney should not come from
either st. Paul OF Minneapolis, yet there
are plenty of st. Paul lawyers who are
capable to handle the prosecution,
neither would they be swayed by local
prejudices.
While we do not recommend the ap-
polntment, still. if the attorney general
is in search of man who will be sure
to give his attention tie the prosecution,
we would suggest Hon. WILLIAM PITT
MURRAY.

THE PRESENT VIEW.

1t does not appear that there is any
special reason for the revival of popular
interest in hypnotism or mesmerism of
late. But fashions and fads are aptto
swing around in periods. There is not
much progress made in the influence
since the time before the war when
travelling lecturers and showmen diver
sified mesmerism with laughing gas.
HvpnOtiSm is the scientific name. The
other was derived from the name of
MEsMER, a Frenchman of the early
part of the century. The new name
seems to lift it out of the field of char
latansm and add to its responsibility.
There have been some exhibitions of it
in this city recently by one who claims
to be an adept in the art. He alleges
that only about one person in ten
is of hypnotic cast; that is !. a
good subject. The larger number
cannot be put under the influence.
This greatly diminishes the danger
that has seemed feasible in using par
ties under its possession in the commits
sion of crime. Still, the local adept adj
vances the theory that most of those
men and women who beguile others to
their hurt are more or less expert in
hypnotism. Those who have been vic
tins of confidence and bunco people
NAV credit themselves with having The
hypnotic disposition. This ST. Paul
teacher says CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.

he was contidenced out of 100000. On
with that tendency can never be rid of
it, and by the theory is always liable to

NO POLITICS IN 1T.

In its extremity to find something on
which to base further opposition to the
census investigation, the Minneapolis
Tribune has discovered a mares nest in
which it pretends to see covert at
tempt of the Democracy of st. Paul to
defeat the Republican gubernatOrial
and congressional tickets this fall.
This is all bosh, and the Tribune ought
to be ashamed of itself for resorting to
such far-fetched argument at this late
day. The st. Paul Democracy have no
candidate for either governor or mem
Der of congress, nor are they giving
themselves any concern as to the bear
ing of this census racket upon their
cause, further than the anxiety all good
and honest citizens manifest in having
a fair count of Minneapolis population.
The Tribune claims that this investi-
cation was instituted as part OF a
scheme to nominate and elect Hon.
ROBERT A. SMITH to congress, when,
as a matter of fact, Mayor SMITH
would refuse to rTu for any
Office, if it were rendered him on a
golden platter. We can furthermore
say that if the Democratic nominee for
either governor or congressman comes
from Minneapolis, the st. Paul Democ-
racy will give him as cordial and loyal
a support as they gave DR.. ANEs and
Hon. EUGENE WILSON when they were
candidates.
There is no reason to suppose that
either the Democratic or Republican
party is any worse off or Better off be-
cause few individuals conspired to
falsify the Minneapolis census returns.
That is question of crime and not of
politics. That is matter with which
the federal government has to deal. and
in no phase of it can it be treated as a
local political affair. The whole peo-
pie of Minnesota, without respect to
party, are interested in obtaining an
honest census, and equally interested
in Furnishing those who are guilty of the
crime against the federal laws of at
tempting to falsify the returns. The
Tribune ought to concede higher mo-
tives to the citizens of Minnesota and
to the government authorities who are
pressing this prosecution. Some mere
little political or partisan advantage is
of no consequence in comparison with
the Importance of suppressing crime.
Let no guilty man escape, whether he
be Democrat or Republican.

is AN EQUALIZER.

1t may be laid down as general prop
osition that the inventions and devices
of modern science tend to bring people
more together. The artificial distinc-
lions of society are less operative. The
rail car, the elevator and other facilities
for moving people are essentially demo-
cratic. The telephone is conspicuously
an equalizer. The highest dignitary in
the municipality may be put ear to ear
with the most insignificant in the COM
munity. The governor may be forced
to give audience to one who could not
get in at the door. Here is Secretary
BLAINE with telephone to the White
house. 1t may not be due to desire
for constant exchange of feelings. as the
later indications are that they do not
unbend as fellow sufferers are reputed
to in their confidential relations. But
how it might have expedited the Mime
sofa editors in communicating with the
president. The annoyance of a person
al interview might have been avoided.
Not so much can be said for the moral
influence of the Woodworking tele-
phoue, but it is an equalizer.

THE METALLIC NEED.

One of the leading topics before the
recent session of mining engineers in
Washington was in regard to the prog
ress making in finding process to de-
velop the universal metal, aluminium,
cheaply enough to allow it to come into
general use in the mechanic arts. There
was encouraging information, especially
in the use of electricity, but there are
believed to be great possibilities in this
matter. 1t has been sold as high as
silver, but is now as low as nickel. In
most of the chemical laboratories of the
world men are experimenting on this
metal. When it can be afforded it will
take the place, very largely, of iron,
steel, and most other metals used in the
arts. 1t has about all their good quail
ties and many others, as it is light,
easily worked, and is handsome, as well
useful. Ships can double their speed
when made of it, railroad cars can run
faster, and that tower at Chicago could
go higher and be far greater wonder
if made of it,.

LOVE AMONG THE CLOVER.

Over and over the purple clover,
Under the greenwood tree,
Sweet Bessie came straying, for w1ldhoWers
Maying,
And sang in her maiden glee:
20 hey, no.
There's daddy / know
Who joys my face to see.
Fair blossoms, pray, now what shall say
When Robin comes wooing O. me,
Dear heart
When Robin comes wooing o. me?"
Over and under the boughs asunder,
Through the wood came Robin ere long;
In the olden fashion he carolled his passion,
And the hawthorne swayed to his song:
20 hey, no!
The way know.
She dropped me this flower to tell
But what she will say this blossomy day
Would that knew it as well,
Dear heart,
Would that knew it as well"
Over and over the fragrant clover,
The bees went humming till late,
And where is the daddy, and what luck had
he
A woolng his blithsome mate?
o hey, o no.
They walk so slow,
Brown Robin and blushing Bess;
But what did he say in the wood to-day?
think will leave you to guess,
Dear heart,

THE ONLY DAY.

There are premonitions of the Fourth
of July besides the weather. Some of
the incidents that cause it to differ from
other periods make large drafts from
the reservoirs of patriotism. The quib-
bier is again at the front with his notion
that the celebration should come on
the I'd of the month. In the latest edi-
ton of the American Manual Bishop
FALLows puts the prominent men of
the Revolutionary period as IN favor of
the earlier date. JOHN ADAMS, Oh the
Sd of July. 1776, wrote letter to his
wife predicting the celebration of the
I'd as the date for the patriotic overflow
in all coming time. Congress on that
day adopted the act of separation. But
this was private. The immortal decla-
ration by JEFFERSON was put forth on
the 4th. and it would be absurd to
change the day now. There should be
no federation for those who would com
promise by commencing to effervesce
on the cd and keep it up TWO days.
