PARTISAN oNE-sIDEDNESs.

The unique way in which an organ
states the difference between the trans
gressions of its own party and those of
the opposition is shown by recent at
tempt of the New York World That
journal answers the charges that the
means by which it alleges the Republicans
are trying to "Steal" the Western Sena-
torShips are those by which the Democ-
racy unquestionably grabbed the New
York Legislature last year, as follows:
"The Democratic leaders were justified
in employing every technicality and strain
ing every point of law to recover for the
majority of the people the control of
their own Government.
Which means that, the World being
Democratic, to "Strain every point of law,
and employ every technicality'. in favor
of the Democracy is all right; but to do it
for the Republicans is stealing. That
which is right for one party is all wrong
for the other. Of course the Republican
organ regards that as legitimate for Re-
publican success, which it calls robbery
on the part of the Democrats.
There will be a great advance when or
gans become intelligent enough to recog.
nize that the rules of political honesty ap-
ply to both parties alike, and that when
partisanship induces either to condone
stealing for its benefit it becomes an
enemy to popular government

OTHER WORLDS THAN OURS,
Mercury and Venus Akin to Our Habita-
ton and Mars Habitable.

Mercury and Venus Akin to Our Habita-
ton and Mars Habitable.
Pail Mall Budget.I
The Rev. Dr. Dallinger delivered lecture
at Bristol the other night on the planets
Speaking of Mercury, DR.. Dallinger pointed
out its chief features, and showed that they
appropriated to those of the earth. Al
though the heat from the sun there was
more intense, it might be tempered by the
character OF the atmosphere. Venus was
yet more akin to our world in every respect,
so that life there, as we know it, was yet
more possible. The conditions OF the at
mosphere, indeed, we're such that the whole
globe might be habitable. Mars next came
under review, the lecturer explaining it's
character, substance, atmosphere, and
other features, which he said made the e1-
istence of creatures, If not man, quite pos
sible. People were slowly losing their
former notions that there were nothing and
nobody in the universe except the world
and man. There were other worlds, how
ever, which, so far as human intelligence
could judge, were not yet uitable for habi-
tation, but were gradually assuming con-
ditions which might ultimately make life
possible.
The lecturer held the opinion that many
years hence some means of mental commu-
nication with the denizens of the other
planets might be established. In the present
days of marvellous discoveries In science all
things seemed possible, and the establish
m ent of interconmunication OF some kind
between this earth and the beings OF the
planes did not seem more improbable or
Impossible than the sending of Il telegraph
message from England to New York
seemed 100 years ago.

THE reinstatement of the Rev. DR.. Nc
Glynn as priest in good standing by Mon

Pensions and Pensioners.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In view of the agitation in regard to the
large pension roll, allow me to call attention
to the fact that if it had not been for those
pensioners there would not be q United
States Gov ernment to-day. If they had not
whipped the rebels back into the Union, in
q short time each State would have seeded
and set up a separate republic on its own ac-
count. Then they would have soon got to
fighting each other, until some OF the
European governments would have settled
the matter by dividing the little republics
among themselves. France had already
commenced by sending an army to Mexico
and placing Ma1imillian on the throne of
that country. This was the beginning.
England would have taken the Northern
States and annexed them to its Canadian
province. England's sympathies were with
the rebels throughout the struggle, as
everybody of that time is well aware.
When people look at the large pension
roll let them remember that the pensioners
lsaved the Governments. 1t is a large sum of
money divided in small amounts among the
old soldiers, majority of whom are needy
and crippled by reason of their service and
exposure from 1861 to 1855. Very few OF them
left the service as able-bodied as when they
entered ito They are dying OF very last. In
q few years the pension list will be decreas-
ing and the payments reduced materially

Your editorial on the Sweating System"

serious thought to find q way to stop 1t. IL

one who immigrates to our country, adds
about $500 ''dirt" value. or, as population in

tunities (land) out of use 1t stops land

Allowing private individuals to take this

Spread OF Anti-secsarianism.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
1t is with a feeling of gra tel tul appreciation
that read in The DISPATCH your short but
strong condemnation of the spread OF the
so-called anri-Semitism, that modern dis
graceful substitute for the more or less old
fashioned "Judenhetze" in Germany, which
is probably striving to comparatively out
Gear the barbaric Gar himself, IL such
thing were possible. Not that TIE DISPATCH
is the last place where one could look for
such remarks. On the contrary, they are
fully in accord with the independent, just
and fair stand THE DISPATCH takes on the
various evils and plaques thataffiict modern
society. But, I'm Unfortunately, there are many
influential papers, reputable and leading
known to themselves are guilty either OF
the sin of omission, by being conspicuous
with their silence on topics dealing with the
unjust, unchristian and lnhuman trearmenI
of the Hebrews in many countries, or OF the
sin of commission, by pretending TO espouse
the cause of the prosecuted race, but doing
iG in such halfhearted and ambiguous
manner that it were better had they left it
alone entirely.
In Wow of such facts, one, whose heart
feels for the down-troddeu in general and
for his unjustly persecnted race in particu-
lar, can't hep but feel thrill
reading such an outspoken and
severe condemnation as that short editorial
OF yours. In no country on earth Is the
power OF the press unhampered by censor
ship restrictions and limitations Us mighty
as it is in this progressive and free republic.
1t is therefore a sacred duty the newspapers
owe to humanity in general and to this
country in particular TO combat race hatred
and prejudice, by all honorable means the
mighty pen is capable OF, in season or out
OF IL, TO enlighten the ignorant anywhere
and everywhere by turning on the light on
those who to further their own base desires
don't hesitate to appeal to what is base and
low in human nature and to do it all in out
spoken, unmistakable language. As long as
those remnants OF the dark ages Will exist
true enlightenment, civilization and pro-
gress will merely be so many high sounding
words. n. A. GOoDsToNE, NJ. ID.

the 100 per cent reserve is unnecessarily

the 100 per cent reserve is unnecessarily
high.
The incongruities of the whole business
are shown in the fact that with regard to
the reserve there are four classes of
paper circulations; first, the legal
tenders on which a reserve was orig
inally established of 80 per cent or
more than was ample; then, by the in
PRODUCTION of national bank circulation
dependent for their ultimate redemption
on this reserve, it is reduced to. Then
the various classes of silver issues are
alike in their relation to the gold reserve;
for, while we have the fiction of silver
reserve, after we have got the silver into the
Treasury we treat it as commodity and
maintain the entire volume of the issues
at par by stredgth Of the gold reserve.
Finally, as if to emphasize the lack Of
uniformity, 100 per cent reserve is rigidly
maintained on the gold certificates, which
practically turns the Treasury into free
storage warehouse for the owners of gold
coin. And with all these variations or re-
serve, one form of circulation is worth
exactly as much as another.
The facts suggest that by converting all
the assets behind the various issues into
available reserve, and placing them on a
uniform basis, the entire volume would be
given an equal stability, and any posi-
bility of an exhaustion of the reserve
would be as remote as it was when the
Treasury reserve was 20 per cent of the
paper issues.

TRANsFER OF IDEAS IN rRANcEs.
How Hypnotics Are Affected by Hidden
Materials

Materials.
Paris Correspondence Pail Mall Gazettel
DR.. Luys then showed me how q similar
artificial state of suffering could be created
without suggestion-in fact, by the mere
proximity of certain substances. A
pinch OF coal dust, for instance, corked
and sealed in n small phial, and placed
on the side OF the neck of hypnotized
person, produces symptoms of suffocation
by smoke; a tube OF distilled water SINH
larly placed, provokes signs of incipient hy-
drophobia, whilo another very simple con-
coction put in contact with the flesh brings
on symptoms OF sutfocation by drowning.
The intense congestion that these ar
tlhcial attacks produce might deter
mine the rupture of a blood vessel or the
stoppages of the heart; it is, therefore. un-
wise to describe the experiments more fully
lest anybody should be tempted TO try them
without proper precautions. But there was
an experiment of this nature that should be
described, for it serves rs q trait d'union
that will enable me to go from experimental
to practical nypnotism.
The woman who had been hypnotized
earlier i'll the morning was put to sleep for
second time, and corked aud sealed tubo
containing 10 grains of brandy was put in
contact with ner neck. A few seconds later
she began to make grimaces and moved her
tongue and lips rs If she were tasting liquor
OF some kind. She then began talking in
broken phrases: "I'm thirsty: want
something to drink. Give me some
thing to drink. My head pains me
so. Any one would say 1 was
drunkr' She tried to stand on her feet and
fell heavily down into a chair.
"TbeTe!' said DR.. Luys, who had previ-
ously taken his visitors out of the room to
explain what would happen on contact of
the tube containing alcohol with the hypno.
tiZed person. "Now, a strange thing is that
this artificial state of drunkenness can be
transferred to another hypnotiZed person."
A man was brought in from an adjoining
room and hypnotized. One of his hands
was placed in the hand OF the woman, and
the passage of a magnet along their arms in
the direction of the man sufficed to transfer
the symptoms of drunkenness to him. To
all appearances he was quite as drunk as
the woman seemed to have been a few mo-
