that the protected manufacturers Of
this country contribute so largely to
the campaign corruption fu..d Of the
Republicans, and bully their en-
ployees into voting the Republican

To add to the curses inflicted on
the farmer, he is compelled to seek a
market for 10 of his cotton and a
large fraction Of his wheat, beef,
pork, tobacco, etc, in the trade
centers of the old world, where he
comes in competition with similar
agricultural products produced by
the cheapest labor in Europe, Asia,
Africa, apd South America. Do the
people understand this?
Another damaging result of our
laws hampering freedom of trade is
worth considering
All trade between two countries
must in the long run be nothing but
barter, if there is anything like an
equality of benefits. On this theory

the average amount OF goods and

has proved that manufacturers can be
more prosperous when their employees
are prosperous and are free from the

work in foundries and iron and steel
works without beer than with it. They

THEY LIKE TO VIEW CORPsES
Morbid People Who Enjoy the Sights of
Mnrpue

Morbid People Who Enjoy the Sights of
Morgue.
In the general run of humanity there
is a morbid strata, and.it is very largely
developed in the great majority. The
morgue OF a city is the place where
this side of human nature comes to the
surface. A corpse is brought in and inn
mediately mob swarm3 at the door,
rushing, squeezing and clamoring for
admittance 30 as to gloat over the hide
GUS features OF the dead person. Not
their main desire is to gloat upon the
cold. clammy face of the dead.
There is something perverted in the
such strange desire. II the deceased
is suicide, or has met with violent
death, the anxiety to get a glimpse of
the corpse is greater, and if it is
mangled and reeking with blood, the
human vultures gloat their eyes upon
the corpse-c feast for their diseased
minds--and act ag,if neither it nor them
selves were human beings.
In the cities of the east the morgue is
at the city prison, and in the smaller
towns it is at the county Jail. At the
central police station all casualties are
reported, and naturally the morgue can
easily be found by those having business
connected with it, and an attendant is
on duty at all hours of the day and
night. Only those are permitted to see
a corpse who are relatives or particular
friends of the deceased, and an unknown
corpse is viewed by hll the members of
the police force for the purpose of iden-
titication, and by no others, unless for
special reasons. Frequently the corpse
is photographed, but always a descrip-
tion is taken, together with the manner
of death, which is filed away for refer
ence should inquiries be made. Often
these descriptions are printed in circu-
lar form, and by that means the mys.
terry OF a death is frequently solved.

The next United States senator from

this city, has returned from the north
we'll satisfied with the prospects of his
election at the coming session of the
Legislature. He has been the constant
recipient OF calls from numberless
friends interested in his cause, and every
indication is given that the people
throughout the state, to great extent
irrespective of party, are heartily in
favor OF his selection.

couragement from ell quarters" Mr..
White said yesterday to a HERALD re-
porter, "and see every prospect that 1
have now two o.thirds of the votes, and
perhaps more.
81 find, moreover, that the little talk
that has been circulated, of any section
al feeling in the north against me, is all
nonsense. The northern Democrats are
as warm in their support as any of my
immediate party friends in this part of
the state. In fact, the Democratic press
all over California, outside Of San Fran
cisco with two exceptions, is strongly in

convince our people that you are not the
man they want. Now it is not possible for
the public sentiment in your own home
to be more pronouncedly in your favor
than it is in all parts of the north where
l have been. The people hope and ex-
pect that if the Legislature is Dem
ocratic you will be our next senator.
would suggest that you take some steps
to bring out an expression of opinion
from the chairmen and secretaries OF
the various county central committees
in the northern counties. Ii can do
anything for you please command me-
"Now, more than that" continued
the senator, 81 have with me all three
of the candidates for speaker and all the

glad to say that my prospects of success
are first rate. 1 shall go north next

Mr.. White is in perfect health and is
in every way prepared to make a win

TYNDALL THE HYPNCTIST.
The Mind Reader and Some of His
Exploits.

The Mind Reader and Some of His
Exploits.
Alexander ]. McIvor Tyndall, the
well-knoWn professor of hypnotism,
whose experiments in this city have
from time to time created quite sensa-
ton, will, after his tests tonight and to-
morrow night at Turnverein hall, pro-
ceed to Fall River, Mass, where he will
attempt the experiment OF solving the
mystery which at present attaches to
the now celebrated Borden murder case.
In an interview last evening Professor
Tyndall spoke in very sanguine man
ner TO a HERALD reporter OF the posi-
bilities which the science of hypnotism
possesses as an aid to the prosecution of
criminals, at the same time affording
protection to those unjustly accused Of
any crime.
'It is fair for ALL" he remarked, "and
it is only matter of time until the
practice will become part and parcel of
all legal Investigations, where the truth
is searched for under peculiar and un
satisfactory conditions, personal or
otherwise"
"You believe, them" he was aeked,
'that if person is criminal he can
not escape detection by his own volun
tary confession when once he is placed
under the influence OF a competent mind
reader?"
"Most decidedly do. He cannot
possibly conceal any of the facts or cir
cumstances pertaining to his actions in
any matter, be it specific or not. Dur-
ing the trance his inner life will be
made public under the influence of the
experienced and competent operator,
and by no other means known to science
can this be done.
"I have had considerable experience
with cases of the kind throughout the
Pacific coast, and many of my most in
teresting experiments have been made
in California.
The professor referred to his test ex
pertinent in this city sometime ago with
the criminal Dawson, alias Wilde, who,
by feigning insanity, escaped punish
ment and was sent to an asylum for the
insane from which place he had the
sanity to plan successful escape. Said
Professor Tyndall:
81 was taken to his cell and found him
asleep. After looking at him | con-
cluded at once that l could control him.
I awoke him, and just as he was about
to get up, after making few passes, l
said to him, Lie still, you are going to
sleep again.
ri then told him to get out of his
bunk, and when still in trance he did
so. Then he told me of his life at Los
Angeles, and where he saw his pal,
George Wilson, whom he said was then
in Santa Monica. He then began to
give description of Wilson's personal
appearance, his age, ETC., and, in fact,
answered all questions of the kind per-
tanning to this subject and told of the
manner of life led by himself and Will
son, and other matters eliminating to
both. Subsequent facts have proved
my tests and that this man Dawson, or
Wilde, was not insane at the time"
concluded Professor Tyndall.
