One Of the company who had watched
the two battles, impressed with the
way the centipede fought In the first

knew where one could be obtained and
he went after it; the crowd waited.

dumfounded at the change. To them it
means the knocking out of the last prop.

The New York World confesses that
the story it published purporting to be an
interview with ex-President Clevelond, in
which he assailed Mr.. Dana, of the Sun,
was a lie out of the whole cloth, which is
called in the slang of the day Stake" a
term altogether inexpensive of the enor-
nifty of the ofiense of the World. How
any journal claiming to the dignity and
power OF that paper can bring itself down
to the level of such devices to create a
sensation is incomprehensible. Such lying
is worse than theft, and ought to debar the
publishers of the paper from the society of
men who have a spark of manliness in
their composition. The result of the
Worlds bit of gibbering ''wit" was to sub
Ject Mr.. Cleveland to shower of abuse
from the Sun, that for venom and sting has
not been surpassed, or even equalled. By the
Worlds infamy both Cleveland and Dana
have been placed in false positions, and the
whole public has been mortified. There
ought to be some adequate punishment for
such offenses in journalism, and there is,
but public sentiment alone can apply it.
A paper that can conjure up such deviltry
and then confess to it is not worthy the
recognition of decent people, and ought to
be removed with the tongs.

THE story that the Pope has instructed
his priests to show especial kindness to
President Carnot, Of France, and to recog-
nize him and the republic as doing work
approved of God, appears to be borne out
by the receptions of the President in the
provinces, and in which the clergy took a
prominent part and pronounced the Presi-
dent to be true son of the Church, and
bestowed upon him its blessing. There is
probability in the statements concerning
this about-face of the Church of Rome.
1t is shrewd enough to discover that the
republic in France has come to stay, and
that it is folly to encourage Royalists in
the hope Of restoration. The Vatican
does not propose to be any longer the
shoulder over which the republic lashes its
foes. 1t has ranged itself on the side of
representative government, not so much
because it is of the belief that it is the
best form of government, but because it
sees clearly that the democratic sentiment
is spreading rapidly, and that it is wise
policy for the church to be in the swim.
All the traditions of the Roman Church
are monarchical; its own state and cere-
monial partake much Of the same sys-
TEN, but with the far-seeing college Of
clericals in Rome the advancement of the
church is the first consideration, at all
times; realizing that the prince of the
peoples choice in France is really the Re-
public, they trim their sails to the new
breeze and desert the Royalist standard.
No wonder that the French Geographic
advices recite tina: the Imperialists, Bona
partists and Monarchists generally are

IT is said that the boss element in the
Democratic party in Wisconsin is deter
mined to force the Bennett school law
issue into the politics of the State. The
cool-headed and patriotic Democrats have
protested in vain. The bosses think they
see an opportunity to wrest Wisconsin
from the Republicans, by catering to the
prejudices of the foreigners who demand
that the English tongue shall be excluded
from schools that are recognized by the
law. If the boss element prevails in de-
termining the party policy, it will awake
in the election to the most crushing defeat
the Democracy has ever experienced in
that State. Outside of the State the
bosses have as yet not found single Dem
ocrat to indorse their policy. Nor will
they. Outside of the atmosphere in which
Bohemian, German and Polish dominate
reason and patriotism hold sway, and will
not, for the sake of party triumph, dc
obesiance to the dangerous and un-Ameri-
can doctrine, or pronounce the shibboleth
of the priests.

MIND READING,

The mind-reading problem has received
another Tiff in the telegraphic statement
that one of the shrewd mind-readcrs at
the East has just astonished the people by
proving that he can read the thoughts of
another at long distance. 1t is alleged
that at Washington the other night a
mind-reader operated in this manner: An
insulated copper wire was used. One end
of it was held by the "reader" across his
forehead. The other end was taken pos
session of by a gentleman selected from the
party, and stranger to the reader At
signal this gentleman placed the end of
the wire upon his forehead. He opened
his watch and looked at the number en-
graved upon 1t. The reader" at the
other end of the wire, and with his eyes
blindfolded, wrote the number, figure by
figure, upon blackboard. 1t adds to the
puzzling character of Che test that it was
performed under such conditions as to
make fraud or trickery impossible. The
gentleman who opened his watch frankly
admitted that he did not know what the
number was until then. The figures were
small. He made a mistake in one of the
figures, thinking was 5. The mental
telegraph was true to the blunder. The
figures which the "reader" traced upon
the blackboard were exactly as the gentle
man thought he saw them in the watch.
There was absolutely no possibility of
communication between the two men ex-
cept by the wire. 1t was apparently a
clear case of mind telegraphing to mind
But now comes more important state
ment. 1t is to the effect that the same
operator some weeks ago had Ex-Governor
Pollock. who died this week, hold the wire
at Wilmington, Delaware, while the
reader was at the other end of the line
In Philadelphia. Thus situated he sue
cessfully wrote out numbers upon which
the Governor fixed his mind. Assuming
these recitals to be accurate to be unex-
aggerated, and that there was no direct
collision nor any unintentional aiding of
the operator, it will puzzle the men of
science to explain the mystery. Certainly
some of these so-called mind-readers have
recently performed feats that defy detec-
ton, if they are tricks, and equally certain
is it that science has not yet exploited the
mind-reading phenomenon and given to
the average understanding a lucid ex-
PLANTATION of how the feat is accomplished.
Since hypnotism has obtained such foot
hold that the physicians recognize it as
powerful and dangerous influence and
solicit legislation to prohibit experiments,
except under medical superintendent.
we may hold judgment in abeyance and
suspend condemnation of the mind-readers.
In short, the public mind of the age has
been presented with so much that is mvs-
ferrous and apparently not understandable
that it is now unwilling to condemn any
claim of mental power that has not been
irrefutably proved to be fraudulent.
