Governor Flower of ew York, in his
message to the state legislature, protests
against the assumption of quarantine
work by the national government on the
ground that it is an interference with
state rights and will tend to centralize
the government. Probably considera-
ton that weighed good deal more than
either of these with Governor Flower
was that national quarantine would de-
prive Tammany of some of the most lu :
crative offices which it now enjoys. The
control of the quarantine by the state of
New York is equivalent to its control by
Tammany Hall, and means the distribu-
ton of a lot of fat jobs among the adhe-
rents of that organization. If the anti
snappers should get possession of the APP
pointing power in New York Governor
Flowers notions about the danger of ma
tional quarantine would probably under
go a rad cal change. He would then
undoubtedly be sble to see what every
disinterested person sees now, that it is
only through the assumption of quaran-
Uni G the coast by the national govern
ment that uniformity in the laws can be
secured, their honest and faithful execu-
ton brought about, AID the expense APP
porto ned as it ought to be among the
entire people.

All denominations except the Roman
Catholics have definitely resolved through
their representative bodies to ask for no
more government aid for their Indian
schools, and it is highly probable that
this example and the force of public
opinion will compel the Catholics to TO-
low suit in the near future. The argu-
ments that have brought the Protestant
denominations to this position are just
as applicable and just as conclusive when
applied to schools established to teach
white children. The reasoning which
has led then to resolve neither to ask
nor accept aid from the national govern
ment for their schools established to
teach Indians must, unless they are ready
to plead guilty to inconsistency, lead
them resolve neither to ask nor accept
aid from the state government for their
schools established to teach white pupils.

The principal features of Senator
Chandler's new bill for the restriction of

four new classes of excluded persons;
Requirement for declaration by every
immigrant of name, place of departure,
former residence and other information;
the issue of certificates by United States
consnls upon voluntary application of
immigrants; a requirement of more cubic
space for immigrants aboard vessels and
better ventilation, and, lastly, new nat,
uralization clause requiring 80 days no

A most sensible suggestion in regard
to the state liquor agency comes from an
Auburn correspondent of the Lewiston
Journal who moves that the agency be
abolished. His idea is that the munich
pal authorities can buy liquor in Boston
just as economically and just as well for
the town agencies as they can procure it
from the same source through the state
agent, and he is doubtless right. The
most obvious benefit of the state agency
is to furnish good living for the state
agent. We should be inclined to go a
step further and, after abolishing tbs
state agency, abolish the town agenciee
and place the sale of liquor for medicinal
purposes in the hands of the apotheca-
ries, or some of them.

M. Charles de Lesseps's explanation of
the Panama scandal is in effect that the
company was attacked by blackmailers
at the start, and that the directors had
to choose between buying them off or
the destruction of the company's credit.
Probably De Lesseps has found out by
this time what everybody who pays hush
mo-ey sooner or later discovers, that a
bl@kmailer never releases his grip until
hiy ~ictim is ruined.

Accompanying the bill is document
presenting the reasons for the act, which
shows wonderful accumulation of all
sorts of information on the subject of
mesmerism and the like. He quotes
numberless authorities on electro-mag

cutters deeply into the occult The
knowledge of these arts, the writer says,
is possessed to high degree by certain
persons in some parts of the world, and
that by reason of their knowledge or
powers they dominate all those about
them and can do all sorts of mysterious
and errible things which it is not to the
interest of their fellow men that they
should do. He says that the Mormons
practice these arts, and that certain
means, which he describe, are used to
convey to children these powers, to be
used after they have grown up to DOM
mate and control others.

MAKING HYPNOTlZlNG A CRIME.
The Bill Which Senator Mitchell Intro
duced.-The Dangers of Mesmerism.
Washington star.l

Senator Mitchell of Oregon has
achieved undesired notoriety through
his Introduction of the bill s'To prohibit
electro-magnetizing, mesmerizing or
hypnotizing human beings, or affecting
one person through another by electri-
city, and to declare the same to be a
crime against the law of nations, and to
define it's punishment" The Senator
announced when he introduced the bill
that he did SO by request, and itisso stat
ed on the Senate print of the bill, yet his
friends and acquaintance ignore that
fact and insist on his telling them all
about this electrical criminality which
he wants to have punished by death. 1t
is useless for him to tell them that he
knows nothing about the matter; that he
is not a student of occultism, spiritual
ism, mesmerism, electrocution, witch
craft, the black-art, hobgoblinism; that
he is not hypnotist, theosophist or in
any way associated with or interested in
that which is mysterious and uncanny.
After he has declared all this with great
yolubility, the very next time they see
him they ask to be told all about that
bill. He is getting FESTIVE under it.

The Author of the Bill.

The bill was introduced by MI. Mitch
ell at the request of lawyer now resid-
ing in this city, who is the son of one of
the early chief justices of California, and
who has make the study of the mysteri-
GUS forces of nature his life's work. He
is thoroughly convinced that great
number of atrocious crimes are commit
ted by Irresponsible persons who are but
the helpless agents of another who ex-
ercises hypnotic influences over them.
He thinks that here are many persons
who have, by natural endowment, and
by the cultivation of the electromagnetic
ic, mesmeric or hypnotic powers, the
ability to influence whom they will to
their own ends. for good or for evil, and
that possessing these powers, they prey
upon the rest of mankind. He thinks that
some possessing these powers exercise
them uneonsciously, influencing others to
do things against their will. Those
whom the author of the bill wishes to
bring within tGe power of the law are
persons who ne says, either organized
into sort of brotherhood or acting by
themselves, deliberately prey upon their
men, depriving them of their free will,
making them but tools, agents or slaves.
He thinks that there are many from
whose mysterious power no man or
woman is safe. Persons possessing these
hypnotic powers, he says, are conceived
under conditions purposely designed to
give them the powers and are raised from
their birth with the view of making hyp-
notists or mesmerists of them, and that
they are afterward used to exercise the
uncanny influence over people.
