Is THE SENATE REPUBLICAN {?
1Albany Journal

lAlDdny journal
Have we Republican Senator" is the
tal Republican newspaper, the indianapolis
journal propounds.
IL is an open question.
Inc Senate is supposed to contain a Re-
publican majority of IA. Yet it has done
more TO diSoTganiZe and disintegrate the Re.
publican party during the past year than any
other agency. 1t Is composed in large parts
| OF Grabbed and cranky crustaceans who seem
TO be beyond the influence of party senti.
ment, obllvious to party interests and con.
position.
The Senate was directly responsible for
the Republican disaster of November D. II
dllly-dilled with the Tariff bill from early
May 70 late September. when the measure
should have been in law on the first of July.
1t not only bred indifference and disgust
among Republicans but permitted Importers
to enter millions of foreign goods which
should have been supplied by American in.
dpstry. Although every Republican in the
House supported the Tariff BILL three Re
publican senators voted against it and seven
others, with weak knees, are believed to
have been in the conspiracy to defeat the
measure.
1t was this un-R Republican and unholy com
bination that assisted the Dem ocratic minor
lty In delaying the Tariff bill for four
months.
1t was this un-Republican and unholy COM
binatlon that assisted the Democratic min
ority in passing free silver bill.
II was the un-Repnblican and unholy COM
blnation that betrayed the cause of honest
elections, as well as protection, for a
mess of democratic free silver and allowed
Democratic obstruction to prevent the con-
sideration OF the Federal Elections bill which
had been passed by the House In June.
Ii is this same un Republican and un-holy
combination which is secretly fighting the
Federal Elections bill at present, as during
the last session 1t prevented the cOnsidera-
ton of the measure. But as the plucky and
united Republican majority of the House
under the leadership of the stalwart Reed
forced the Senate finally into accepting the
Tariff bill. trampled the free silver measure
under foot and compelled the acceptance of
the Silver bill passed by the House, SO it is
to be hoped that the wicked conspiracy in
the Seuate against the Federal Elections bill
will fail.
But In the meantime the Indianapolis
journal and Republicans generally are iusti-
fed In questioning the Republicanism of the
United States Senate

Senator Frye talks with great good sense
concerning the Behring Sea trouble. The
first thing to do, he says, is to find out def
nitely whether the seals are disappearing
on account of poaching or not Mr.. Blaine
contended that they were and consequently
that pursuit. in ire open sea by poachers
was contra bonoS mores. Subsequently
however, two of our own treasury agents
reported that the seals were not disappear
ing but increasing. This of course had the
effect to greatly weaken the Secretary's ar
gument Senator Frye does not believe 1t
Is true, but inasmuch as our own officials
have so reported, he thinks the United
States, either alone or In connection with
Great Britain, is bound to make an inyesti-
CATION to settle the facts. If 1t is shown that
the seals are disappearing then the matter
should be referred to Board of Arbitration.
Their decision would undoubtedly be in our
favor. Neither Congress nor the admins
tratlon has ever taken the ground that
Behring Sea is closed sea, and there is no
occasion to express an opinion on that point.
Our proceedings in The sea have been justi.
ned on the ground that they were necessary
TO prevent the determination of the seal. Ii
II Is shown that poaching does not tend to
exterminate the seal, then there will be no
reason for sending our revenue cutters there.
Ii 1t is shown that it does SO tend then arbi-
traitors can hardly fail to decide that our
course has been justifable. 1t is for the
the common advantage of both England and
the United States to live on terms of amity.
Neither can afford to quarrel with the other,
and neither wants to, and the fact that this
feeling exists affords very strong guaranty
OF peaceful solution of the present trouble.

Coffee InehrinfN ,

DR.. Mendel, of Berlin, has lately pub
lished n clinical study of tins neurosis, his
observations being made upon the women
of the working population in and about
Essen. He found large number of women
who consumed over pound of coffee in q
week and some men drank considerably
more besides beer and wine. The leading
symptoms were profound depression OF
spirits, and frequent headaches, with IN
somnia. A strong dose of coffee would re-
lieve this for a time, then it would return.
The muscles would become weak and
trembling, and the hands wouh tremble
when at rest. An increasing aversion To
labor and any steady work was noticeable.
The hearts action was rapid and irregular,
and pal alpitations and heavy feeling
in the precordial region were present.
Dyspepsia of an extreme nervous type was
also present. Acute rosacea was common
lin these cases. These symptoms con-
stantly grow worse, aud are only relieved
by large quantities of coffee, generally OF
the infusion. In some cases the tlnciure
was used. The victims suffer SO seriously
that they dare not abandon IL, for fear OF
death. Where brandy is taken, only tenn
porary relief follows. The face becomes
isallow, and the hands and feet cold and
an expression of dread and agony settles
over the countenance, only relieved by
using strong doses of coffee. In all these
cases, acute tniiamlnationS are likely to
appear any time. An injury of any part
of the body is the starting point for inflam-
nations of an crYsipelatous character.
Melancholy and hysteTia are present in all
cases. Coffee inebriates are more common
among the very nervous, and are more
concealed because the effects of excessive
doses of coffee are obscure and largely un-
known. Many opium and alcoholic cases
have an early history of excessive use OF
coffee, and are always more degenerate and
difficult TO treat. very wide held for
4 future study opens up in this direction.

CONCERNING HYPNOTISM.

o remember not only that this was said
n the time of mesmerism. Practically,

hat it was twenty-five years ago. There
sa measure of physiological truth in the
assumed influence of hypnotism, and the

Of what we call will to the body. In these
Ok experiments, too, we have attention and
,Xpectancy, which. being combined with
will in remarkable degree of concen-
ration, are capable, as is well known, OF
bringing about very remarkable results.

Electric Canal Boats.
From, the New York Star.

From the New York Star.
Think of a canal boat moving by elec-
tricity 1t seems absurd, doesn't II?
Electricity suggests something swim, some
thing that rushes along with resistless
energy, while astonished multitudes gaze
i'm admiration. On the other hand, canal
boats have always been associated with
laziness. The slow aud recalcitrant mules !;
the dusty or muddy towpath the ex pletory
drivers, have been celebrated In song and
story until nobody can imagine canal
boat without those accessories. Yet 1t Is
not improbable that by another season the
canal boats will be propelled by electricity,
the power being: communicated by what
is known as the overhead trolley system,
such as Is used TO propel cars In Boston,. In
Albany and on the electric railway be-
tween Coney Island and Brooklyn.
A prominent electrical engineer Of Buffalo
has devised the plan, and the Marine
RevieW aud the .Etectricdt Repiew approve
of it, Experts say that the cost of taking
canal boats from Buffalo to Albany can be
materially reduced by the employment Of
elect ricity in this way, and that the speed
out injury to the banks Of the canal, such
as is caused by the use of screws In the
stern of boat as a motive power. Mules
and towpaths and drivers would disappear
under this new system, since one man on
a boat could handle the trolley and the
rudder at the same time. The Marine
Reriew says that the cost of moving the
boats in this way would be about half
what IL costs now, and that the poles and
other appliances for the overhead wires
and the plant for the manufacture of cleo
trio power can be established without the
slightest hindrance to navigation. Surely
this il indeed the electric age, when canal
boats are animated by its influence and
made to glide along as quietly as swan,
and almost as swinly.

A Revised Version.

The most interesting feature about the
oil boom in West CHARTERS, Pa, is the
fact that an oil well has been sunk on the
property of the Lutheran church. Be.
sides the bonus of 5000 paid to the church,
it is receiving royalty of more than 500
a day. Consequently new church and
parsonage are planned, the PASTORS salary
has been raised, and the church contem-
plates extending financial help to the synod
of which it is member. One of the mem
bers in entire good faith has suggested
this emendation of the doxology for use by
the congregation:
Praise God from whom all blessings now,
Praise Him for putting oil below;
Praise Him, ye drillers, give hearty thanks,
Praise Him for the overflowing tanks,
