The scheme, oi which Senator Stanford is
the father, of loaning government funds to
the farmers at two per cent. per annum APP
pears 10 indicate that the California states
man has his eye on the Presidency and is
going to make friends with the Farmers
Alliance at tbeIstart. But the Farmers ALI
ance, strong as 1t is, cannot furnish alone
enough votes to land the Senator in the

The way to get them is for the Senator TO
broaden his proposition. Let the him

The session of the New Hampshire legisla
ture is so soon done for that the question
naturally arises, what was it begun for?
One reason of calling the body together was
to electsa clerk and assistant clerk. That
has been done. Another reason was that
the clerk might be instructed how to make
up the roll of the next legislature. That
was not done because all the Democrats and
good many Republicans opposed 1t. As
for accomplishing anything of much mo-
ment in regsrd to the settlement of the i'm
pending imbroglio the session might as well
not have been held. The new legislature will
have to settle its own makeup as best it
can. If appearances are not deceitful the
biggest kind Of a row is impending, and all
the wisdom and moderation which the states
men OF the Granite State can command will
be needed to prevent serious harm to the
commonwealth.

1t seems to be practically settled that Mr..
Parnell will retire from the Irish leadership
for time at least a majority of the lead

Catholic clergy of Ireland whose sympathy

The Argus intimates that If the election
bill is passed the Democrats will repeal 1t at
an extra session. The Argus forgets that it
requires the concurrence Of a majority of the
Senate and the House of Representatives, and
the President, or concurrence OF two thirds
Of both Houses to repeal law. The Demo-
Gratis can secure concurrence of two-thirds
OF the House, but that is all aud that is not
enough. If the election bill is passed it will
stand until the Democrats get control of both
the legislative and executive branches of the
government They cannot do that before

A REPUBLICAN FREAK.

There is a spice of partisanship in
the mixture Of food and liquor in Mass
achusetts. The Republicans there have
not been peculiar in their methods of
operation. As in several other localities,
they have done the duplex act. In the
last election their candidate for gov
ernor was under suspicion of liberality
in temperance matters. and conse-
quently went to extremes in efforts to
hold the prohibitionists. This was in
the rura. districts. In Boston he catered
so to the liquor vote that he received ilS
support and cut down the Democratic
majority several thousand, in fact, as
some allege, escaping defeat by this
means. To make a show Of keeping
his pledges to the FESTIVE and strong
temperance clement, i'll his message he
urged the police commissioners in
Boston to enforce as temperance
measure statute that had been
on the books fifteen years, and al
ways a dead letter. 1t had never
been enforced, end the governor evil
IDENTIFY did not expect the Boston man.
ayers would take him at bis word. They
did, however, and instructed the police
to commence tomorrow to enforce the
resurrected act. The legislature being
in session, the repeal of the act was at
once proposed. The Democrats did not
propose to help the Republicans out Of
their trouble and enable them to hold
both the saloon men and the prohibit
tionlsts. The legislature is largely Re-
publican, and that party could repeal
the act if it wanted to. In place of re-
peal the party was forced to the issue
of demanding its rigid enforcement.
The Democrats evidently helped them
to adopt this declaration, as it was
spoken of in the Republican caucus as
stab in the back of the party. 1t is in
sisted that the police commissioners,
who are Republicans, and the gov
ernor shall now carry out the law
to the letter. If they do not,
their double dealing will lose them
the prohibition element of the
party. This will wreck the party at the
November ballot. If they enforce the
law in good faith, it will close every
public bar in Boston, and be alike dis
astrOus to them in the election. Tie
governor appoints the police commits
sioners, and they Will of course obey
his will. He has called for the enforce
ment, and the Republican legislature
has seconded the call. The elephant is
on their hands, and the Democrats will
not help take him off. The law, as it is
explained by the Boston papers, is not
mere choice of attitudes in taking the
drinks. 1t will be as much violated by
sitting at tables and taking a few pref
Zels, or nibbles of crackers and cheese,
as by taking the drinks in the usual
erect attitude. A thirsty person must
order meal of victuals at the restau-
rant or hotel, and with the eating can
have what liquors are needed for lubri
eating purposes. The situation there
IS likely to be Interesting, both polit
ically and in dietetic view.

Her Spirit Friend DIS.

New York Mercury.
Mrs. Maude Lord Drake, the famous
Boston spiritualistic medium, now of
New York, gave remarkable enter
tainment last Wednesday evening be-
fore the New Psychical society. Mrs.
Lord Brakes personal "reminiscences
were sensational and at times gruesome.
Starting off by referring to the I'M
popularity, or rather the questionable
ness. of mediums, she considered this
all wrong. and people should not be
ashamed to acknowledge that they knew
mediums OF hesitate to recognize them
on the streets or in society.
The speaker told story of wealthy
young lady of Chicago, whose father
had held prominent public Office in
that city. This young lady was
startlngly beautiful and was eighteen.
But she was taken sick and no doctors
could cure her. Her conduct at times
was beyond common comprehension.
Her parents took her to San Diego, CAL,
in the hope of improvement. and while
there Mrs. Lord Drake saw her. She
told the girls mother that her daughter
was obsessed or possessed of an
evil spirit The old lady could not
understand this, and, being a men,

Chicago declined to accept the diagnosis
of her daughters ailment. But Mrs.
Lord Drake got Bible and showed the
mother passage there showing how
boy was possessed. When they returned
to the room of the girl she was tearing
up her clothing and the bed clothes,an
was in wild fury. Mrs. Lord Drake
gave tests, some twenty or thirty, and
very soon the young woman rose up
straight and powerful looking, and the
spirit of an Indian began to speak
through cher lips. The spirit of an In
dian warrior had control of her.
ALL NIGHT NOISES WERE KEPT UP,
and the Indian was having a sort of
war dance with the girl. After time
the Indian spirit gave way to beauti-
full female spirit, and then came the
spirit of child. After this came the
spirits of several priests, who prayed,
and then the evil Influence departed,
and the young lady has been ever since
receiving the most beautiful tests.
The speaker then told how she was
herself obSessed when little girl, and
how the evil spirits led her an awful
life. For nights and nights she could
not sleep, and at times she would be

A BIGOTED LuDGE.

A novel case was recently before a
court at Grand Rapids, in Michigan.
DR.. REID, spirit postmaster" was
convicted of using the mails for fraudu-
lent purposes, and asked for new trial.
He claimed to be a clairvoyant and
could give what are called psychometric
readings. He could read the contents
OF sealed letters and delineate the con-
ditions under which they were sent,
with the appearance of the writer. He
offered to put his claims to the test on
the spot. He would at once give this
account of any letter the judge might
have in his pocket, and abide by the re-
suit. The judge ridiculed his claims,
and insisted that no evidence could
persuade him that there was anything
but trickery and humbug about the
transactions. Without admitting or de-
nying the possibility of doing what was
claimed, the judge may easily be pro-
uounced bigot and not good court to
get into for men who are out of old ruts.

NOT OF YESTERDAY.

There is period in May in this lati-
tude when nature makes it benson
to look out upon things and inhale the
fragrance of the budding petals. The
atmosphere has the revivication of
vernal life. The fruit trees spread
their bouquets of beauty and promise,
the flower gardens are bursting with
the gladnecs of supreme loneliness.
The fires in the furnaces have gone out,
the windows are open to let in the
baImy zephyrs that watt no bugs Or
mosquitoes. The birds have come back,
and are making the air vocal with their
melodies, and coo to each other love-
lays. The small boy sheds his pedal
raiment, and the big one and his tender
eyed friend go on the water and see
their faces reflected in its CLASSY sur
face. The fountains play in the parks,
and the young men and women sit
around under the electric lights in their
spring clothes. Still, this picture was
not taken from photograph of yester-
day, or any of the yesterdays that May,
1890, has yet put on duty.

Spirit Dentistry.

Golden Gate.
Miss Lizzie Plimley, the child medium
of Oakland, of whom we have hereto
fore written, and in whose presence we
have witnessed some remarkable mani
festations of spirit power, has now
reached the age of thirteen, and is de-
veloping gift of meaiumship that, we
predict, will yet bring her into the front
rank of the worlds mediumistic won
derS.
Lizzie's familiar spirit is half-breed
Indian girl named ''Minnie," who is her
constant companion and protector. To
show the power of this control the fol-
lowing incident, as related to us by LIZ
zie's father, occurred few days ago.
Lizzie had been suffering from de-
cayed tooth for some days, but. like
most children, would prefer to suffer
the pain than to endure the keener
pang of having it extracted. While sit
ting in their family developing circle
on the evening referred to, after some
two or three of her guides had con-
trolled her vocal organs to talk
with those present, minnie" came in
like a flash, and with great power
Lizzie'S mouth was held open, as if
undergoing a dental operation, and in
stantly the offending tooth lay in the
girls hand-as neat job of dentistry
as any skilled dentist could have made
out of it. Lizzie knew nothing of what
had happened until she was restored to
cons cousnesS, when her father asked
her about the tooth. She manifested
the greatest surprise to find that it was
out, and frightened to think she must
have swallowed it.
