SUFFERS FORT SAVED.

Colonel c. F. Croker, in behalf of the
estate of his mother, and representing
himself, brothers and sister, has directed
that he be drawn upon for S15, 900, to COM
plete the purchase sum for the reclama-
ton of Suffers Fort. This graceful act,
and il has been performed unsolicited and
with that sincerity that leaves no sort of
doubt concerning the pleasure it gives the
heirs to contribute for so high purpose.
The benefaction is really in the interest of
the people of all the State, for Suffers
Fort and the tract surrounding the old
fort house constitute historic relic that
excites the interest of all Californians,
and that will become more and more pre-
cious as the years recede into past time.
1t now behooves the Native Sons of the
Golden West, who have taken the matter
In hand, to accumulate fund for the re-
storation of the fort and the preservation
of the relic from decay. Very many plans
have been suggested, but we have heard
the walls of the fort and their encasing in
cement; the identifying of the grounds;
the covering in of the old dwelling and
store-house structure. Within the walls
of this cover, which ought to be of iron
and glass, will be gathered museum of
California history, where will be stored
and preserved a great accumulation of
relics and curiosities relating to the his.
tory of the State from the earliest period,
and of the country under Spanish and
Mexican domination. The grounds thus
cared for will become an objective point
for tourists, and constant source of sus-
tanned pride to all Californians. So soon
as the purchase of the site is completed, a
guard should be stationed at the old and
only remaining building, for relic-hunters
are daily making the crumbling structure
more and more insecure, and shortly there
will be very little of it left if some steps
are not taken to care for it.

HYPNoT1sM AGAIN.

The protest of the California Medical
Society against indiscriminate experiment.
ing in hypnotism has received emphasis
by the result of dabbllng in the science in
Lassell Seminary. 1t appears that a
teacher has been training the young
ladies in what it pleases her to term
'snerve relaxation" The claim is that it
induces brain rest, nerve strength and
composure. But since two young women
came near losing their lives under the
process, il has been discovered that the
teacher, perhaps unwittingly, has been
mesmerizing the scholars, and two who
were brought so near to deaths door were
hypnotized.
At the last session of the physicians of
this State, the convention entered solemn
protest against experimenting with hyp-
notism by the unskilled, and merely for
matter of amusement They declared that
the influence is powerful one, tends to
destroy mental balance and break down
the nervous systeiii, anu shat ~ shouio pe
prohibited by law from being practised
except by skilled scientists and physicians,
and not even then for exhibition pur-
poses. The protest will be presented to
the next Legislature, and then, what we
may assume will be an amusing debate,
will arise. For not one in fifty Of the
Legislators will be likely to know anything
definite about the subject-and it will be
no reproach that they are Ignorant of it.
Probably large proportion of the legis-
lators will object to passing upon the pro-
posed bill, merely upon the strength Of
the protest of the doctors. for they can
truthfully say that not half nor quarter
of the medical profession know any more
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-06-12
about hypnotic Influences than the legis-
lators themselves.


But we think it will be the part of wis
dom to err upon the side of caution rather
than refuse to act afirmatively upon the
protest of the doctors. Enough is known
of hypnotism to establish the fact that by
Its means one person can gain marvellous
control over the will of another, and can
exercise such power for i'll. Indeed, there
is some evidence to sustain the doctrine
that one may be forced to the commission
of crime while under the hypnotic control
OF another. In the Eyraud case that is
the defense of the Bompard woman
probably a deceitful one Nevertheless,
the French physicians have enough of
doubt concerning the possibility of the
claim being true that one can, by his
operator, be compelled to commit infamous
ofenses while under the hypnotic infu-
ence, to justify a long, and, as yet, unsettled
conference upon the subject. In the re-
cent experiments made at the request of
the Government of France, skilled
operator proved beyond question that he
had control, absolutely, of the subject. But
as to how far evidence of hypnotism should
be received by the Courts in criminal and
similar cases was not arrived at, and the
board of scientists adjourned to think it

THUMBS DOWN.

Have we returned to the brutal days of
the Amphitheater, when thumbs down by
the spectators to the contests of the arena
signifed that the victor must satisfy the
lust for blood by finishing his foe? 1t
would certainly seem SO.
In the brutal prize fight in San Fran
cisco licensed athletic club, in which one
of the sloggers met his death, it is said
that the thirst for the brutal sport was
such that the onlookers urged the victor on
to beating of his opponent that was sick
ening in its savagery. Yet what else
could have been expected. The depraved
taste has been cultivated by municipal law
in that city. The so-called athletic clubs,
where in skin-tight gloves hired ruffians
beat each other into insensibility, are
chartered by the municipal authorities.
As these clubs grew older it was not
reasonable to expect that their patrons
would be satisfied with mere knock-outs
Appetites stated with such food demand
greater stimulants, and more bloody and
tragic nutriment, and so life is sacrificed
to appease these unhealthy and debauched
tastes.
1t seems to make no sort of difference
that the State law denounces these con-
tests as felonies; San Francisco, in the in
suferable pride of power, coolly sets the
law aside and declares that prize fights for
money purses are legitimate and commend
able. The assumption that thus coolIy
brushes away the statutes of the common
wealth is responsible for the death of the
wretch who was pummeled till life was
extinct.
Somebody should be held to accounta-
bility; somebody should be punished for
this manslaughter; not only the brute
who killed his opponent, but the sleeker
brutes that set him on, and the authorities
who gave him the seeming right to do it,
should be brought to bar-if not of the
law, at least to that of public contempt
and execration.

Too Many Titles

Ever since the name of Pine Station was
changed to LOOMS by the railroad CON-
pany, says the Placer Republican, the name
of this place has been source of confusion
and numerous mistakes. The railroad and
express office was Loomis, the postoffice
was Pine and the school district was Smith
vile, under which last name all property
was assessed. Postmaster Turner has sue.
ceeded in having the name of the postoffice
changed to I.oomis. he having received no.
tice Tuesday morning that beginning with
July 1st the place would be known as
Loomis. An application will now be
made to the Board of Supervisors to have
the name of the school district changed to
Loomis also.

Up in the State of Washington large
sized bribing and corrupting book ring, it
is said, has been exposed, and in conse-
quence public indignation is at white
heat. What Washington needs to do is to
follow the example of California, and
make its own school-books. That plan
efiectually emancipated our communities
from the domination of the school-book
publishing rings, that prior to that practi-
cally ruled the State.

AT the opening of bids the other day at
Washington for the building of two more
armored cruisers for the American navy,
California builders submitted the lowest
offers, and it is reasonable to suppose,
therefore, that the awards will be made to
builders in this State. This will be tri
umph of which we will have every reason
to be proud. So soon, now, as the contracts
are let and the forge fires are kindled, it
will be in order for the artisans who will
be called to the work, to strike-that is
the usual proceeding.

THE LOTTERY PEOPLE CHECKED

The lottery people in Louisiana are in
quandary. They are anxious to have the
Democrats in the Legislature at Baton
Rouge 60 into a caucus on the lottery bill.
By that means, having a majority of the
Democratic members already committed,
they could tie up the votes of the anti
lottery Democrats. But the latter are
quite too shrewd to be thus taken in so
easily. As Senator Phipps well put it:
When the lottery question had been made a
public issue in 1879 and 1882, the lottery men
positively refused to go into caucus, claiming
that 1t was not political question Now thew
come to US and want to hold caucus II is
simply question as to whose OK Is gored
Who are the men who want the Democrats
TO go into caucus? 1t is the Republican
lottery company, masquerading under the
CLOAK OF Democracy. We are dealing with
monster too enormously corrupt to treat
with him on any terms; much less should we
allow him to select his own battle-ground. am
willing to fight it in the legislative halls, but,
for one. will not caucus with the lottery COM
pany.
Unless the lottery people can bind the
Democrats by caucus tactics there is
strength enough in the Legislature on the
anti-lottery side to defeat the gigantic
swindle; and then, provided the vicious
agency does not succeed in breaking down
some of the opponents of the infamy, the
monstrous threat to Louisiana will pass by.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
Facts That the Voters VIII be Obliged
TO Bear In Mind,

TO Bear In Mind.
The voters of Rock Island and Henry
counties-composing the Twenty first
| senatorial district-should bear in mind
that the selection of candidates for the
legislature-both house and senate-this
fall is an unususlly important matter.
These legislators will elect I'm ted States
senator to succeed Mr.. Farwen. MIR.
Farwell says he is candidate, but some
have it that on account of recent ill.,
| health he ill not be in the field. Should
the next legislature be republ can some
man would be selected of whom the peo-
pie may know nothing as regards his po-
liticsl record or intentions. He will not
be responsible to the voters, but. in a
way, responsible only to the bosses that
gave him the place. He will belong to
the party that gives US high taxes ard
supports trusts and syndicstes and mo
nopolies and combinations of al kinds to
the injury OF the people generally.
General Palmer is the democra can
didate for the United States senate He
is among the people day in and day out
explaining his views and stating what his
course will be If elected. Wherever be
has been heard the masses are enthusiast
tic over his utterances. They know ex-
sctly what TO expect if he should
be sent to the national senate. But the
people do not elect him directly and as
that is done By those whom they send to
the legislature it behooves them to know
well the intention of those thew send
there. They certainly want men who are
| opposed to high taxes apd men who will
| look after the interests of the people.
Should the next legislature be democratic
and there is every reason to believe
that it will--tben General Palmer will be
elected to the United States senate, and
will see to it that the rights of the people
are carefully maintained
| The democratic candidates for the leo
islature, as is well known, are: For the
senate, r. Fl. Human. OF Cambridge,
Henry county. an intelligent, trustworty
farmer; for the house, George W Vinton,
Of Moline. manufacturer; and John A
Wilson. farmer. of Rural township, both
of this county Both MessIs. Wilson and
| Vinton are upright. vigorous and intelli-
gent men. and deserve well, as does Mr.
| Hinmsn, ali the homer that the voters ot
the district may be pleased to put upon
them. Every step should ne taken 10 eIecr
| them.

pefity. He extended his thanks for the
compliments shown him. and in conclu-
sion said he would rather have the little
token given him on his return from
Washington week ago than TO be presi-
dent; he would rather have it as a me-
mortal to leave than million dollars.
Three cheers were given for Mr.. MUIR
ply and proposition to repest them for
Mrs. Murphy was no sooner said than
done. Then there were cheers for Capt
Robinson and Capt Whitney. As the
boat passed Capt. Whitney's yards and
home three cheers were given for Mrs.
Whitney. The boat on its return went
up TO the draw pier and all took look at
it and then cheered Engineer Francis,
who directed it. and who was one OF
the excursionists. The boat landed
at Davenport first and three cheers
by the Rock Islanders for their Daven>
port brothers were given and the courte-
sy heartily reciprocated. On landing at
Rock Island the voyOgers from this city
gave three cheers for Capt. Whitney,
Purser Baker and the crew of the A J
Whitney, and thus ended the frat trip in
to the Hennepin canal, a voyage hstori-
cal as well as pleasurable.
During the trip, Mr.. ]. L. Hebert, of
Davenport, responded to invitations to
sing with "a Warrior Bold and Nancy
Lee, and a gentleman from Moline. who
no doubt came with the permission of
that city, played a number of selections on

of the city on the east for the Hennepin,
however. A basket of grapes with The
compliments of Mr.. J j. Humphrey. OF
Davenport, was partaken of with relish
by the representatives of the two cities
Rock Island and Daveuport-and there
were none sour among them, As the two
cities enjoyed the fruits purest, sweetest
juice they renewed their allegiance tC
each other, pledging that in the future
their efforts should be more united than
ever to the end that they might enjoy
together, as indeed they will. the fruits
which the Hennepin canal will bring fol-
many years of toll in which both have
shared so cheerfullV aud so happily.
