SOME OF THE SENATOR'S.

With a majority of ten and n dis

publican senator's will probably carry
out MIR. Qnay's scheme and pass the
elections bill, although the measure is
extremely distasteful to several of the
senators who have been long i'm public

yield their wi judgment TO what is
represented to them to be a party ext
gency. Senator lIawley. of Connect

another.
soon after the debate on the cleo
tions bill, now known as the force bill
began, the STANDARD pointed out its
striking likeness TO the which
the republicans aimed 10 make opera

known as the force bill. Ii was per.
~sistently urged by republicans who
represented the management of the
party's affairs in national politics. Its
coercive features Were regarded with
distrust by some of the soundest and
safest republicans in the house. IL
was passed, however, i'm February, 1879.
but Senator lIawley, then a member of
the house, refused TO support IL. Gen
eral llawley was in pretty good com
pany in his opposition 10 the bill. Mr..
Dawes and Mr.. lioar. of Massachusetts.
and Mr.. Hale, of Maine, were members
of the house at the time and they voted
against the force bill. Mr.. Farwell

SPIRITS OR BRAINS.

The esteemed and scholarly Denver
NetrS believes i'm the justly celebrated
remark of Hamlet TO Horatio on the
existence of more elements and phen-
omena, terrestrial and celestial, than
the lloratian philosophy included in
its widest visions. In its breadth and
catholicity the Nems on Sunday lie
clares: THE existence of such a

states through some invisible and in
comprehensive agency, TO read sealed
letters and perform certain other re-
markable acts is ms well established as
any fact that will be spoken from the
pulpits of America this morning" The
existence of such a faculty may be es-
tablished TO the satisfaction of the
Denver Ners: but the writer goes "a
step too far when he asserts that il is
large as any fact uttered in the Amer
lean pulpits last Sunday-unless he

The bill of 1875 to which reference
senate. Since that time the repub-
licans have not had a working majority
in the house until now, except in 1852
when, with Keifer in the chair il took
the entire time of the house to prevent
the speaker from bankrupting the
party: so that there was no time to fix
up election lodges like the one which
Speaker Reed is pushing.
\ curious contribution to the discus
sion of the pending bill came I'm the
shape of Congressman Belden's open
letter to the republican editors of the
country. Mr.. Belden is the chairman
| of the republican congressional cam
paign committee. His letter appeared
| at a time when the senate vas under
suspicion and the Quay element felt
that they must be egged on to their
work. Mr.. Beldenis letter urged the
editors TO pound away at the repub-
| lican senators and hold them to the bill.
The gentleman INT from a strong re-
publican constituency. In that dis
trict is printed one of the oldest and
staunchest republican newspapers of
New York state. Acknowledging the
receipt of the open letter, this news
paper FASTENED to say:

That is rather a remarkable m

Think of Power presenting in the
federal senate a petition asking con
gress TO preserve to the people the
mineral lands of Montana.
Sanders didn't have the gall to do il.
lie is the Northern Pacific attorney
who sent in his resignation with a
string tn il. Power is the man who,
on the day of his election, was declared
by the leading republican newspaper
of Montana to be the visible triumph
of the Northern Pacific land grab ring.
That's the pair.
Out here in Montana nobody cares
what Power does, or Sanders. They
are frauds anyhow, and they are
looked upon as such by republicans and
democrats who have to sit with them
i'm the senate circle. IL ever they get a
chance to act on the land-grab bust
ness, these two will be for the railroad
every time. and there isn't n voter in
Montana but knows il.
Montana is vitally interested in this
land. question. Yet when il was
up in the house of representatives last
week, there wasn't anv ringing speech
made by the Montana member-not
that we have heard of. One congress.
man. discussing the Northern Pacific,
declared that Speaker Reed is "the
recognized friend and jealous cham
pion of that arrogant and corrupt cor.
poration ON the floor of the house.
and that mo influence was more potent
in the organization of the present
house than that exerted by the North
ern Pacific railroad" IL wasn't Mr..
Carter, of Montana, who said this, not
much; but it was Carter, of Montana,
who industriously doomed Reed for
speaker.

Many republican newspapers are
earnestly protesting now against reck-
less pension appropriations. They see
the evil, but their protests come fatally
late. They are quoting the words of
admonition uttered by Garfield, Haw-
ley and other intrepid soldiers, but this
can do no good now. President Harri-
son, for strictly political purposes,
signed the bill which spends s60.0OO,OOO
a year Of added pension money for a

proposing to vote $685., ls9 for a force
of extra clerks to carry out the pro-
visions of the dependent pension act.

be made to the case Of the Seibert COM
mission.
In discussing this subject there Is
constant danger of a confusion OF
terms. That some persons possess
what is commonly called the faculty Of
"mind reading" Is incontrovertible: and
the extent TO which this faculty may
be developed is not known, nor can it
be estimated. II Is possible to con-
ceive of a very high stage Of develop
ment. Many marvellous phenomena
are on record, and 1t is entirely within
the bounds of a TO suppose that a
mind reader may possess himself of the
contents of a sealed letter provided
that the writer of the letter, or some
other person who knows what the
contents are, be present. But that is a
triumph of mind over mind, not a
triumph of mind over matter. The
world has yet to learn of the salts
factory accomplishment of such a feat
where the conditions mentioned were
not complied with. Always taking it
for granted that all possibilities of
fraud and deception have been elimi-
mated, the best mind reader in the
world, the most accomplished medium,
or any other human being whether he
possess the gift of hypnotism, clairvoy-
ance or what not, may safely be deiied
to read a sealed letter the contents of
which no anywhere i'm the vicinity
knows a syllable.
AS to slate writing, its tricks are so
numerous and SO ingenious as almost
to dignity it to m art. In the
more skillful of them, the agency
that produces the writing is in
deed "invisible and incomprehensible"
to all who are not in the secret. An
expert can easily deceive the very
elect. IL is possible, for instance,
side of two states bound so tightly
together with a cord that a knife blade
cannot be inserted between their
edges. The investigator may purchase
fresh states from a store, bind them
himself, aflix private marks so that he
may know his states have not been eX-
changed for others, and finally TO make
everything doubly sure he may think
of any sentence he pleases and tell it TO
the performer. The states will be re-
turned within two minutes, with the
cords and knots ~undisturbed, and the
desired sentence written on the inside.
Ii requires some little practice and
skill TO perform this trick successfully,
but il is n trick non the less. Let an
investigator instead of using cords
fasten his states by means of four good
screws, one in each corner, and no man
living can produce in writing on the
inside a sentence which the investi-
gator has just thought of and impaired.
Or if il is too strong to say that no
man a do such a thing, this much at
least is true, there is no record of a man
ever having done it under circum-
stances which would entitle the case to
scientific credence.
