A QUEER VIEW.

In several of the Eastern states re-
Gently, legislative or other action has
been had looking to the suppression of
a class of endowment associations that
hold out impossible returns to their VIC
tins, and are consequently frauds. The
New Hampshire insurance commits
sioner has, however. drawn the line
very singularly, if he is rightly reported
in the papers of the state. In the in
terest. perhaps, of the old line insur-
ance system, he first insisted that no
kind of insurance could be furnished in
the state without paid-in cash capital
of 100000. He was forced to recede
from this, and now licenses all kinds of
life insurance, whether old style, fra
ternal or assessment. But here he
draws the line. He will not allow
any sick benefit endowment order.
1t does not matter what it may show in
the way of volidity or reliability, it can
not operate in that state. The main
feature of some of the secret orders is
the protection and support of members
in times of sickness. They have found
no difficulty in carry out this object
without impositions upon the contrib
uting parties. Where the business is
carried On by companies for profit, there
should be proper public supervision
but it is marvellous exercise of author
ity to prohibit any sort Of assurance for
sickness. It is quite as needful as life
insurance. Where the family depends
on the weekly wages of the man at the
head, it is worse off TO have him sick

HOW HE STANDS.

The Boston Herald, which is indie
pendent and mugwumpish in politics,
has recently gathered data from DEM
cratic editors and other intelligent OBJ
servers in the states most affected by
the silver question, and which must be
carried by the Democrats to elect a
president. These are in the South and
West. These data relate to the standing
of Mr.. CLEVELAND in view Of his eX-
pressions in regard to free coinage. In
some of these states senators and other
prominent Democrats have taken
ground in opposition to the ex-presl-
dent, based on this question, and sew
eral OF them have asserted that he has
become unavailable. The information
gathered by the Herald does not dis
credit the statement that there is some
diSaffection, or that if the coinage ques-
ton is an issue, there will be more or
less diversion to the party that takes the
most advanced ground for the enlarge
ment of the currency; yet the conclusion
of the Herald is not an extravaganza in
ference from the opinions it has ob-
tained-that after all Mr.. CLEVELAND
will, as the outlook now is, command
the largest Democratic following as a
presidential candidate in the West and
South. as well as the East. This is not
insisted upon as the inevitable situation
next year, as political forces are exceed
ingly active and somewhat uncertain at
present. 1t is notable that Republican
papers greatly magnify the Herald data
that are unfriendly to Mr.. CLEVELAND.
They would discourage Democrats from
making him their candidate. They are
unSelfish, of course.

IT Is POPLAR

The popular strength of the move
ment for the election of United States
senator by the people has an illustration
in Illinois. Senator PALMER made his
notable campaign Oh that issue. He
went before the people as the choice of
his party for senator. and for the first
time since the war legislature was
carried to elect a Democrat. The Dem
ocrats had a majority in the popular
branch, but the senate was retained by
the Republicans by the aid of hold
over claimant. The house adopted a
resolution urging the representation at
Washington from that state to present
and support an amendment to the con-
StitutiOn providing for the election of
United States senators by the peo-
pie. 1t was expected that the
Democrats and the farmer element
would favor this, but it was somewhat
of a surprise when the Republican SEN
ate also adopted the resolution. Sen
ator PALMER is pledged to Introduce
the measure in the senate, and it is pre-
sumed it will have the support of the
delegation from that state in both
houses. Ii they are able to bring it to
vote, it is doubtful if even the majority
in the senate will like to go ON the rec
ord in opposition. 1t is popular move,
and will add strength to the popular
support of the party that adopts it in
any state. In the meantime, it is be-
lieved that those who make the Illinois
approach to it will find it useful in a
campaign.

SEEK THE TRUTH.

If all the sectS undertake to discipline
their teachers who dare to follow what
they take to be religious truth outside
the graded and beaten paths of other
ages, their time and energies are likely
to have ample employment. A Congre-
gational pastor in the chief city of New
Hampshire, and the oldest orthodox
clergyman in that state, in recent ser
mon made this point on the action of
the Presbyterian assembly.
We must come to see some time that the
worst. most fatal offense against the truth is
not a misunderstanding of it, but a false atti-
tude towards it. apd faithless fear lest it
fail 10 indicate itself. 1t matters SO very lit
tie whether DR.. Briggs be right or wrong
Probably not 50 men in that assembly OF 500
were competent to paas judgment upon that
issue. But it matters much. that the SUI
preme council of a mighty church could
think so NEARLY of the truth as to suppose its
integrity could in any sense depend upon
their show of hands.
1t is unfortunate for any religious
school when it even seems to hesitate
to accept truth, whoever may be the dis
coverer. Truth shall make you free"
is an averment of the highest author
ity. Such freedom is worthy of the
nobleSt aspiration.

IN UNION THERE is RECIPROC-
TTV

The casual reader of a great news
paper like the GLOBE sees so much of
general interest in the wealth of news
that appears in its columns daily that
he or she has 10 time to dwell at length
upon any particular item of the worlds
doIngs that is not of special moment.
Perhaps such one has not noticed that
the young mans fancy has lightly
turned to thoughts of love this spring to
some purpose and that the marriage
license clerk is extending his acquaint-
ance at rapid rate these days. The
GLOBE is glad of it.
1t means many things-all of them
good. 1t means that our young men
are getting on in the world, and have
secured sufficiently strong position in
the community to warrant their assum-
ing family cares. 1t means our young
girls are so attractive that no man who
is not restricted by non-remunerative
brain work or unproductive labor can
resist them. 1t means our ministers

for unless we have been misinf0rmed)
it is time-honored custom among
the men who tie the nuptial knot to give
the fees the happy grooms slip into their
hands to their wives, always supposing
the fee-ee is thus blessed. 1t means that
new homes have to be built and fur
nished, new accounts for the butcher
and grocer, new meters to be instructed
by the gas company in the art of consei-
entious consecutive registration.
1t means heavy drain on the silver of
the country, giving the poor owners of

monthly surplus of silver bars. 1t even

that they are the bulwark of society that

1T is NOT EXPLAINED.

AS it is conceded that the riest-phy-
eician, who has been causing so much
sensation in mis- more conspicuous la
bors at Pittsburg, does really produce
remarkable results, some medical gen.
tlemen affect TO question their perma-
nency, and insist that, so far as they are
real and beneficial, they are produced
by a skillful combination of powerful
drugs and hypnotlsm. Possibly profess
sional jealousy and an agnostic mental
status as regards supernal potencies
may induce their explanations. They
do not occupy an unprofessional posi-
ton in refusing to go outside of what
they have been taught in their schools
as to remedial agencies. They, how
ever, believe that there is something
IN hypnotism, and that it may
be exercised on many persons
with strange temporary manifesto
lions. They cite the case at
Mount Ebol, in Indiana, where three
women laboring for religious ends have
remarkable influence opon their VIC
tins by hypnotic forces. They are con-
Quoting revival meetings, and often
those who boast of their ability to re-
siSt their influence when going to their
meetings become as frantic as Indians
in war dance, and end their wild
phrensy by falling into deathlike
trance. 1t is claimed for them that
they have divine authority to work
miraculous cures of the afflicted. An
account Of these demonstrations is given
by a writer in the Louisville Courier
Journal. He is vouehed for as a care
full and truthful observer. He relates
that the influence is often felt, and per-
sons begin to tWitch as soon as they
come in sight of the tent in which
the meetings are held. One of
the women has the power to much
greater degree than the others, and her
speciality is to operate upon tue tough
cases who put their wills on the ten
sion in opposition. One instance is re-
lated of sturdy son of farmer who
proposed to defy her art. He went to
the meetings, and when the operator
transfXed him with her eye he went
into eataleptic lit and frothed at the
mouth. He repeated his visits, still de-
termined to defeat the efforts of the
woman. but without success. While in
one of the spells, his grandfather re-
marked:
BEN won't yield. lie cursed these meet
ings yesterday. He came to this meeting this
morning and swore he ould not yield obedi-
enee to the Lord. That's what makes it go
SO hard with him.
The history of revival movements has
other quite similar passages. But if
the Pittsburg operator employs this
influence, he uses it apparently only
for the relief of physical ailments. The
why's of the matter lack much of soIu-

pine, and eager to kill and be killed
for those who pay them. Their
wages have been doubled. The other
fellows are credited with only 5000 men
poorly fed and badly disciplined. Then
the government proposes to come to
Chicago and help fill an area of ground
with fine building and display. There
is, however, vagueness and reticence
in speaking of the naval resources of
the government. The revolters seized
about all the vessels worth much, and
unofficial reports do not run in the
same line as those sent out by the gov
eminent. The rebel troops may be
loose in discipline and ways, but they
seem to come out best in all the fights.
They appear to have money to buy arms
and supplies abroad with, and can sur
render a shipload or two rather than
annoy the United States. President
BALNIACEDA has $4,000, 900 deposited in
Europe, and it will not be surprising if
he finds it desirable to make pro-
tracted visit there. The climate in

There is at last official information of
the status of the forces in the little
discrepancy in Chill. The president
seems to have gotten together new

TO the government, and has sent out a
manifesto to the world outside, correct

are an unimportant faction, unable to

starved into surrender. As matter of

COOPERATIVE PROSPERITY.

In this country it has not been GUS
tomarY to look upon cooperative So
cieties with much favor. in view of the
results of such experiments as have
been had. At the recent congress of
the cooperative societies of Great Brit
ain, the statistics presented in regard to
such bodies seem almost lneXplicable at
this distance. In retail trade and gen.
eral industry the figures are alike sur
prising. They relate to the operations
of 1854 societies the past year. These
comprise 1.117,055 members. and have a
share capital of e12, ,952, with invest
ments of &c, 296.964 In the year their
sales were 943, 209,319 and the profits
"a, 170,03S. There had been an increase
of from 5 to 10 per cent in all the
figures in the year, showing a
pretty healthy condition. The address
of the president stated that in twenty
five years the sales of their retail stores
had increased from e4,000,000 to e2S,-
100000. 1t would add to the value of
the statistics if those of the failures
had also been given. These must have
been very considerable. 1t is difficult
to understand why there is such evident
contrast with. the experience in this
country. The social conditions are diff
ferent i'll many respects, and possibly
the movement over the water has been
able to command more of training and
experience in the management. 1t
would seem that they must have Injured

stockholders. IneXpert management
