PSYCHOLOGY AS A SCIENCE.

Prom the Washington Post
In a recent work on the Law oil
Psychic Phenomena by Thomas Jay
Hudson, the author undertakes to show
that these phenomena. instead of being
supermundane or supernatural. may all
be explained on scientific principles.
lie bases his argument upon the propo-
sltlon that man has two minds, or, wha:
amounts to the same thing. that il he
has but one mind 1t possesses certain fac
ultieS under objective conditions and
certain other faculties under subjective
conditions, which constitute the appear
aEce, at least, OF a dual mind.
Mr.. Hudsons second fundamental
proposition is that the subjective mind,
which performs It's functions when the
objective senses are IN complete atey-
Of suggestion and endowed with a
practically perfect memory. Upon this
hypothesis he reached clear eiucida-
ton OF many hypnotic and mesmeric
phenomena that are usually deemed out
side Of natural laws. He also reaches
the conclusion that Christ possessed the
power OF lntuitive PERCEPTION to a mar
Vicious degree; that he thoroughly un-
derstood the laws OF mental healing, as
demonstrated by His miracles: that the
laws Of the soul in its relation to
the body were familiar 70 Him, and that
the Christian religion is he only religion
that rests upon purely scientific basis.
This is the most elaborate attempt that
has yet been made TO reduce psychic
to an exact science, as it is
certainly the nearest approach TO this
end; and whether Mr.. Hudson's theories
are satisfactorily demonstrate or not.
he has at least done a good work in par
TALLY divesting these phenomena o.
heir supernatural garb and removing
hem several degrees from the dark do
main Of mystery and superstition.

THAT INTERSTATE RAILROAD

Governor Lewelltng was in this civ
yesterday comforting with his Populistic
friends. 1t is understood that his special
mission was to confer upon Wichitan
the appointment Of a commissioner to
represent the state at The proposed Ne
bfaska conference to be held soon IN ac-
cordance with The resolution recently
passed by the Wisconsin legislature in
which a scheme was proposed Tor the
construction CO an interstate railway

port on the gulf coast, SAID road 10 be
constructed by cooperation between the
States 10 be traversed by IT. ana to he
operated independent of all other roads
nDd solely for the benefit of the people.
The proposition Is in perfect harmony
with the PopnIist idea Of government
ownership and control OF railroads. b,if

pie arc prepared Just yet to have the

BRONCO BREAKING.
A Proceeding That Is Full of Action and
Excitement.


/ A loose, sandy spot is chosen for the
breaking of the bronco the name by
which the wild horses of California and
Arizona are known Squealing. strug-
Cling, biting, kicking, bucking. rolling
in the dust, and a double back sOmer-
sault-these are parts OF the grand per-
formance whenever a bronco is broken
to the saddle. Capt. Bourl1e describes
in his book. ION the Border with Crook, ="
the fun and excitement associated with
breaking "broncos" by a troop of
| United States cavalry.
The animal was first thrown, blind
folded, and then the bride and saddle
were put on, the latter gif.thed so tight
~ that the horses eyes. started from
their sockets. Then, armed with pair
of spurs of the diameter of a soap-plate
and mesquite club big enough to fell
an OK, the Mexican "vaquero" got into
the saddle. the blinds were cast of, and
the circus began.
There would be one moment of doubt
as to what the bronco was going to
do: now and then it might seem FOR a
few seconds as if really mild-man-
neTed steed had been sent to the post
by some mistake of the quartermaster
department. But this doubt never last
ed very long. The genuine bronco
can always be known from the spurious
one hv the fact that when he makes I'D
his mind to buck" he sets out upon
his work without delay. and with vim
that means business.
IF there We're many horses arriving in
a bunch, there would be lots Of fun.
The men would mount. and amid the
encouraging comments Of the lockers
on would begin the task Of subjuga-
ton.
The bronco nearly always looked
around and up at his rider with an ex-
preston that was benigDant; then he
would roach his back, get his four feet
punched together. and await develop
ments. II tbs rider foolishIv listened

THEY HEARD sOMETHIEG.

There IS not much, il any, reason &c
doubt that Immediately upon taking bis
seat as president, Grover Cleveland
made up his mind to best the annexa
ton of Hawaii to the United States.
His first step in that direction was the
withdrawal of the treaty negotiated by
| his predecessor, who is on9 of the best
| lawyers in the United States and who
| had carefully considered the matter
! from the standpoint as a statesman and
patriot. Biount was appointed to go to
| Honolulu and see if he could not
| find something crooked on the part of
| Minister Stevens and other Americans
! representing the United States, which
would serve as an excuse for bis (Cleve-
land's) action iii Withdrawing the treaty.
Upon his arrival in San Francisco
Blount's instructions were modified so
as to accord with the popular sentiment
which he found prevailing on his
journey enroute to and upon his arrival
on the Pacific coast, and of which the
president and his secretary of state had
taken careful note.
Cleveland and Gresham again heard
from Blount, and the gentleman of the
white house has received new light Oh
che subject of annexation. 1t is now
announced that Messrs. Cleveland and
Gresham have always been in favor OF
the United States securing the Sandwich
Islands and that annexation is to be
part Of the policy Of the present admin
istration. We don't believe, however,
that they would have announced such
policy if they had not foreseen in the re-
lection of the offer of Hawaii the com
plete disruption and downfall of the
Democratic party. In the language of
the dispatch announcing Clevelauds
change OF heart, he is thoroughly con
WINGED that the present temper favors a |
broader national policy and the acguisi-
ton of more territory, and thinks the |
people would punish any party which |
would reject Hawaiis proffer to become |
a part of our territory" Well, if some |
other nation does not in the mean time |
take advantage of Clevelands inaction |
and foment trouble, cause an uprising
and the overthrow Of the provisional |
government, Hawaii may yet be ours,
during the present year.

A California congressman who called
upon Postmaster General Bissell recently
