WHAT Is IT?

The influence called hypnotism is so
iittfe understood that it may be given
almost any breadth or province without
much popular challenge. One of the
female seminaries in Massachusetts the
other day afforded quite little Sensa-
ton by the mysterious illness of
couple of young ladies, attributed to
hypnotism. The facts as reported do
not suggest any of the methods asSoci-
ated with the potency covered by that
term. But there is novelty in the
regimen imposed upon the sufferers.
They were required to lie fat Oh their
backs and relax all the muscles both of
the body and mind, if that is a proper
reference to the mind. They were to
put the mind in the most inert state
possible. Then, after a period of the
utmost inertness of body and mind. the
latter was to be concentrated on some
object for time and specific muscles
were to be moved while the body
remained inert. Why this sort of
exercise should result in illness unless
there was an overtaX of the powers does
not appear. 1t is an ordeal so little I'M
derstood in its mission that it is not
well to define its character, but it does
not appear that there was any attempt
to put the mind at the dictation of an
other, as hypnotism is understood. 1t
would be interesting to know if there is
a new physical or mental science, or a
combination, being introduced into fe-
male seminaries that has the processes
indicated in the Massachusetts, case. If
so, is it calculated to develop any sort
of physical hilarity or mental potency.
or does it lead to new realm of in
quiry? Is it abnormal in results, or
what is its precise purport?

THE FEELING FOR ENGLAND

Hatred for Great Britain Is tho

North American Review.
1t is exactly forty years to day, as I
write these lines, since | came here my
self on that same old errand-tO find my
way into an ampler and finer life; and
in this time it has fallen to my lot be-
You'd that of most men-to mingle
with our people far and wide and to
know them, as we say. like book-aS
wOrkingman in the shops for about nine
years, and then as minister in two
great cities, and lecturer all the way
between the OceanS-and to stand with
them shoulder as citizen always; to
stay with them in their homes wherever
| would go, and talk with them freely
Oh all the burning questions of the old
times and the new, and never to lose
my love for England, or my pride in
her and joy; going about, indeed. with
chip on my shoulder" touching what
might be said of her which was untrue
to me OF unfair; and the result of it all
is this: That have not found what [
should feel free to call the hatred
of England, except in here and
there man who stands as the exception
to the rule, if we leave out of the ac-
count the troubled years of the war for
the Union, when our people believed
England would and did strike below
the belt. Then our people did
hate England, for in the smoke and
thunder of the war this England was
with blatant voice cursing the Ameri-
can republic. One of the noblest fell
lows l ever knew, and a leader in his
great city, said to me then, ''D-n her!
we will never forgive her while the
world stands" though he was not apt
to swear, and [ think the angel of the
records knew that as we'll as did.

RETURN OF THE EDITORS.

The Minnesota editors have returned
from their Washington trip duly i'm
pressed with all thay saw and heard
during their sojourn in the nations cap
itdl. 1t is noted as being one of the
most pleaSant,as we'll as one OF the most
profitable excursions of the Minnesota
editorial association, and our quiildrivers
will long remember the many agreeable
features connected with it. The editors
owe great deal to the railroad repre-
sentatlves, who excelled in courtesy and
attention, and particularly to Mr.. LORD.
of the Baltimore & Ohio, who stayed
with the party during the entire trip.
While it is not matter to make big
fuss about, the GLOBE regrets that the
presidents delay in receiving the
editors on their visit to the White house
should have been attributed to wrong
cause. With characteristic generosity
of the profession, the editors take all the
blame upon themselves. They were
behind time Ill getting up to the execu-
tive mansion. and of course had to await
the presidents fulfillment of other en-
gagements before they could have an
introduction. 1t would be most
anomalous thing if even the president
of the United States could evade the
opportunity to grasp the honest hand of
Minnesota editor.
In addition to the pleasures of the trip
and the benefits derived from rest aud
recreation, our state editors are all the
better for having mingled with the
great men of the nation, and for having
looked in upon the workings of the sew
eral governmental departments. Many
of them now have practical knowledge
of public affairs that they did not
possess before: and, doubtless, all of
them nave come home with enlarged
and more liberal views. Then, too, they
had their patriotism refreshed by visit
to the tomb of the illustrious WASHING
TON. Taking it altogether, it was both
pleasant and beneieent outing for
the boys. May they have many more
such, and when the next eXcur sion
comes off we hope to be one of the
happy thrOng.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 16.-A decided
sensation has been created among Pitts
burg iron aud steel manufacturers by
the offer of a Belgian iron firm to sup
ply the structural iron necessary for
the new court house at Minneapo-
lis 25 per cent cheaper than it could be
furnished by Pittsburg manufacturers.
The contract is large one $1,000, 900
being the estimate cost of the building.
A member of the firm of Carnegie,
Phipps & Company, who are the larg-
est structural iron manufact-
urers of Pittsburg, said to-dy:
''The actual price of beams and
channell to-day is 80 per 100
pounds, and of angles S22. Is. am con-
WINGED that the Belgian firm cannot
undersell those prices % per cent. They
charged 1925 for the iron which was
furnished under the contract at Austin,
Tex, and since that time wages and
other items of cost have advanced in
the foreign markets fully II per
cent. Under these circumstances
hardly see how they can COM
pete for the Minneapolis contract"
At the Belgian consulate, however. the
genuinenesS of the offer was confirmed,
and it was further learned that the con-
sui in Pittsburg had been notified by
the Belgian firm of its intention. He
said that already Belgians had secured
contracts for structural iron at Houston
and Austin, Tex, and when the offer
was made for the Minneapolis court
house he had no doubt that the foreign
manufacturers were prepared to make
good their Gains.

FARM BOOKKEEPING.

There was large gathering of farm
ers at Leipzig not long since, that had
for its object the welfare of their class,
and yet had no interest for any public
functionarjes, and in this country would
not have caused any politician to lose
sleep. The object of the convocation
was to organize an association for the
promotion of farm bookkeeping. Meth
cd and organization have given shape
to most things in Germany. but it seems
to be new idea there to extend them
to the financial details of farming. A
good deal of attention is being directed
to the subject. 1t is not merely to give,
in general way. outgoes and incomes.
but to establish comparative system.
The economics of special methods Of
cultivation and crops under varying
conditions are to be shown in precise
figures. No doubt any capable farmer
will find large advantage in rigid sys-
TEN of bookkeeping.

NOT THE BEST SORT.

The cheap labor fellows that the cen
sus men could find no way of enumerat-
ing in the mining regions of Pennsyl
vania, except by numbers. are the re-
suits of the greed of capitalists. Decent
American citizens cannot live on the
wages paid these scrubs and debris of
old world civilization. They are the
most degraded classes of Poles, Hun
garians and Italians, and are shipped
over like cattle to work in the mines
and live like brutes. If the immigra-
ton laws were properly enforced, they
would be sent back to their native boys
aud novels. If there is any class of
aliens to be excluded, these should be
among them. They are more deprayed
than the Chinese, and have nothing in
them to develop into useful citizenship.
Their employers class them below the
animals, as the latter are given names

Pennsylvania POLITICS.

Unusual interest is being manifested
in Pennsylvania politics this year, not
because of any important results that
may be expected, but rather because it
will determine the strength of MATT
QUAY's bossism. If he has things
his own way,it will insure the perpetual
ton of his power over the Republican
machine. If he is endorsed in the
home combat, he will have to step down
and out from the head of the Repub-
Iican national committee. If Pennsyl-
vania were like any other state, QUAY's
dethronemeut woald be the natural Sc
quenee of the recent newspaper expos
ures which have put QUAY in awfully
bad light. But that which would ruin
mans political prospects in
any other community will make
a hero of him in Pennsylvania.
1t is true there is a very bitter fight
against Quay in the Republican party
in Pennsylvania. and the most de-
termined effort is being made to relax
his grip on the party machine. In the

A BIG DRUNK.
A Entire Town Goes Off on Pro-
IOnged Spree.

IOnged Spree.
Chicago Tribune
DR.. ii. G. Sutton, of Rome, N. Y. was
telling some acquaintance in the Lee
land rotunda one evening about big
spree in which all entire town in British
Guiana participated.

II landed at Georgetown, Demerara,
during Southern cruise, and was there
two days without seeing person not
loaded with jag There might have
been sober folks in that little warm
town, but did not see them. The cause
of the spectacular spree was the sale
of LIQUOR at an extremely low rate.
The excise board refused to renew
the license of the Bengal Tiger rum
shop in Rock street, and the owner had
but four days to dispose Of his stock.
He announced that he would sell his
goods at less than cost. The love of
the common people of the West Indies
for rum is prOverbial, and it is needless
to say that they appreciate cheap rum.
AS soon as it was known that pint of
white rum was being sold for SiXpence
and quart for shilling, the people
crowded into the shop, and the excited
rush was almost riot.

and customers came from all directions.

news extended. Finally the mob was
so noisy that the entire police depart
ment was called out to regulate tn
traffic. The people seemed to think
it would show a lack of graft
tude not to drink at such a low
price, and they did their best to
get rid of the stock. The government
allows citizen to buy only one quart at
time, or some one would have pur-
chased the entire establishment at once.
For two days the riot kept up, and from
the start the whole town was on a big
spree. 1t was the strangest sight ever

fine offers, was thus abruptly answered
by mountain maiden:

going through, without turning. She
quite mean reed. When he asked if
that was the handsomest one she saw.

STATE SENTIMENT.
Knew He Was False.

Mr.. Comstock, upon the Mckinley
bill, voted with. the most ultra high
tariff advocates. He knew that in doing
so he was false to the great body of his
constituents. yet he did not have the
courage of Knute Nelson, and so al
lowed the party lash to whip him into
line. He deserted his people that he
might preserve his party relations.
Mr.. Comstock is good deal of protec-
ZIONIST, and probably voted his individ-
ual views. This is another reason why
he is not proper man to represent the

event of a failure to do this, many of the
Pennsylvania Republicans have made
up their minds to vote with the Demo-
Gratis in hope of defeating the Republic
can state ticket that QUAY will put up.
But it is just here that Quay exhibits
his fine work as politician. There is
probably no state in the Union which
has more complications in its politics
than the Keystone state, and, taking adj
vantage of this fact, MI. QUAY
is devotlng good deal of at
tention to Democratic politics. He
is as industriously at work pack
ing the Democratic convention as
he is at work on the Republican con-
vention. In case he succeeds in hold
ing his grip on the Republican ma
chine, as he fully expects to do, his
plan is to head off the boiling Repub-
licans by influencing the Democrats to
put up ticket that will play into his
hands. In state where commercial
politics is the rule, QUAY has splen-
did opportunity to exhibit his prowess
as boodler.
The rank and the file of the Pennsyl
vanIa Democracy are apprlsed OF
QUAY's attempt to capture the DEM
Ocratic state convention, and it is pos
slble that they will outwit the merce-
nary leaders who propose to sell out to
QUAY. If they do, the time is ripe for
making Democratic state of Pennsyl-
vania. In the larger cities, such as
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, the i'm
porters have rung the tariff reform cry
until the masses begin to discern that
their interests are not promoted by the
protective policy. And it may yet come
QUAY and CAMERON, with all their
genius for corruption, cannot stay the
