Cool Weather This Winter.

We are booked for an extraordinarily
cold winter of it the coming season.
Farmer Sterling Morton, at Washington,
has not told us so, but Farmer Loren
Cushman, of Chenango county, New
York, has vouchsafed the information,
backing up his representations with evil
dence that deties and silences doubt.
Farmer Cushman is one of the oldest
inhabitants" wears his beard in the
Joshua Whitcomb style, tucks his trous-
ers in the tops of his cowhide boots
drinks hard cider whenever he feels like
it, attends meetin' regularly, anFwatches
1.-THE signs" therefore when it comes to
forecasting the weather for a whole
winter al a time he is just as reliable as
any other weather prophet. Probably he
could give the weather Office
at Washington cards and spades
and then beat it out. For the
weather Office takes no notice of ''the
signs" that have become time honored
among the farmers and which Farmer
Cushman believes in. During the past
month he has been watching 1.-THE signs, 8"
and they have led him to the conclusion
that we shall have this year the hardest
winter since 1888, for these reasons:
First, the husks on corn are much
thicker than usual, and of a deep orange
tint, instead of a light lemon hue.
Second, the hogs melt runs jagged, in
stead Of smooth.
"Third, the goose bone taken from a
May-raised fowl shows larger and whittier
spots than customary, which resemble
the canals of Mars.
Fourth, the crop of nuts of all kinds
is immense, and the squirrels and chip
hunks are laying in prodigious stores
early in the season.
Fifth, the cartridges and woodcock
are Lighting in barns and outhouses. in
stead of trees, and ducks are flying in
U-shGped, instead of V-shaped floc5s to-
ward the south.
sixth, the green frogs are changing
their skins and even now are seeking cool
wells and springs for their winter quar-
tcrs"
With such evidence as this before US it
would be foolhardy to neglect seeing "our
uncle" about that overcoat longer than
when the first chill blast shall have blown

Gen. Dan Sickles, the hero Of more san

something l had always wanted, SO you can

DR.. Peters on tho Negro.

The interview Of Dr. Carl Peters,
the eminent German savant and. explorer
Of Africa, that appeared in the MORNING
News dispatches yesterday, was an in
teresting contribution 10 the literature of
the negro. Had DR.. Peters visited the
southern rs well as the northern sec
ton of this country before express
ing such positive opinions, il might have
been charged that he had become preiu-
diced against the American negro. But,
as it is, he studied the negro in his native
state in Africa-studied him, in the lit
cral meaning of the word, and from a
scientific standpoint-then came to Amer
lea and studied him in the northern cities
in the highest state Of civilization to
which he has yet attained in any country.
And his conclusions were reached after
comparing the negroes of the two coun-
tries.
To those who have passed as much as a
quarter of a century among the freed
negroes of the south and watched their
political, religious and social habits, DIR.
Peters opinions concerning them are not
new. Aside from what the learned doctor
says Of their natural inability to rise to
a proper appreciation of the dignity Of
American citizenship, it is an historical
fact that no people have ever been so
forced to the front by a hotbed sys-
TEN of civilization as has been tried
upon the American negro. And yet his
citizenship in the true sense of the term,
is a failure. The white people of the
south have expended years Of effort in
trying to carry out the high ideas Of a
few New England cranks. They have
taxed themselves to the verge of beggary
for the purpose of trying to educate the
blacks up to an appreciation of their posi-
ton, and to keep them within the lines of
civilization. And they have made failure.
The negro to-day is the negro of twenty
five years ago. Many of them are edu-
Gated, but as race they have not been
elevated. OF course, there are individual
exceptions to this statement, but it APP
plies to the negro as a race.

RYpnotism in Court.

a criminal case that is receiving more
than usual attention on the continent
of Europe and in England, is that of the
De Jongs. Mrs. De Jong, an English
woman, disappeared mysteriously shortly
after her marriage to De Jong, Hol-
lander. Circumstances, very slight, how
ever, point to De JOng as the murderer.
and he is under arrest; but not a word
can be got from him that tends to clear
up the mystery of his wife's disappear
ance.
After conference with several cni-
nent medical men and specialists in mind
diseases, the criminal authorities have,
it is reported concluded to place De Jong
under hypnotic influence for the purpose
of obtaining a confession from him. The
theory is that while in hypnotic state
the prisoner will have no power TO resist
the command of the hypaotizer to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth
There is something in this proposition
especially repugnant to American ideas
of arriving at a just verdict Suppose
the prisoner while hypnotized-in to-
a
statement discriminating himself, would a
court be warranted in sentencing him to
death upon that evidence, Unsupported
Under our laws. man in full possession
of all his faculties may not be forced to
testify against himself Then what are
we to think of the proposition to take
away De longs intelligence, place him
wholly under the influence of mind not
his own, and then use whatever he may
say against him. How is the court to
decide whether the prisoner tells a story
of his actual experience or merely voices
what may be passing in the mind OF the
! hypnotizer?
If the hypnotists and the prosecutors
of De Jong put their theory to the test.
the experiment will undoubtedly beiuter-
esting, from scientific point Of view.
| But too little is yet known of hypnotism
TO accept it as an auxiliary to the law in
| criminal cases.

If there is one thing more than another
calculated to vex the soul of would-be
passenger who is waiting at night upon
the sidewalk on Bay street for his par
ticular trolley car to come along, it is the
difficulty attending the Identification of
the proper ear. For some distance along
the Bay there are three car lines, and at
night, so far as the average observer can
tell, each car looks precisely like every
other one until it is close enough to touch.
And with regard to the Belt and Barnard
street cars, it is necessary to ask the
motorman which is which. A Canadian
genius has produced n device which. if
applied here, might obviate the dificulty.
