HYPNOTISM,
$4,000 to $4,000

The medical and scientific faculty is
still at sea concerning hypnotism. The
gentlemen of the learned professions di-
vide widely as to whether it is a humbug
or entitled to some degree of respectful
recognition. DR.. Ernest Hart, in the
British Medical Journal, considers the
hypnotic condition real and admitted
clinical fact with solid basis of the SUBJ
jective condition of artiticially induced
sleep and heightened suggestibility. As to
its use, he thinks it is very limited, as
yet, and he quotes extendedly to show
that in some cases it has been successfully
employed to alleviate suffering arising
from hysteria, but outside of that he finds
no reason for crediting it with merit. So,
too, the claim that it is of value in surgery
and obstetrics is secuted.
On the other hand, several eminent
physicians Of France credit hypnotism
with merit as sleep-producer, in which
condition patients have been operated
upon who otherwise could not have been
painlessly treated. DR.. Storrs- Best of
England, who has given the matter much
study, declares that there is that in hyp-
notism which medical science has not as
yet been able to satisfactorily explain
away. He says:
To detail minutely its multifarious applica-
tlons in modern medicine would be tedious,
seeing that the mere list of those diseases in
which hypnCtlsm has been found serylcea BILE
would be weartsomely long. The
greatest success has been achieved in the re-
lief of pain, and in the treatment of so-called
functional neuroses, naladies whose organic
concomltant has not yet been discovered
such as neuralgia, chorea writer's cramp etc
hesitated TO employ suggestion" in the case
OF genuine organic disease, and have obtained
results altogether unanticipated.
The simple truth is that the schools of
medicine are not settled as to the true
place of hypnotism in science. The ma
iority agree that it has place, and that it
is by no means small or low one. The
minority hold that it really is not a new
thing, but is Of the order of phenomenon
known to necromancers, fakirs and yogis
from the earliest time, and that it has not
proved of such usefulness as to deserve
recognition as a worthy agency,

the many. But few, whose aid was alb
solutely essential, did not like the plan,
and suggested different schemes. They
were, however, shown that if each one
adhered to his own pet ideas nothing
would be done; so at the last the laggards
came into the procession, and it moved.
To-day Johnstown has nearly $4,000 in
habitants with new factories, new streets,
new systems of drainage, and protection
and new industries, and so on. Is there
not in this lesson for those who stay the
wheels of progress in Sacramento to-day,
by declination to join with the majority
in common effort to concentrate COM
munity energy, and give momentum to
cause common to all the people?

BLAINE IS DEAD.

James G. Blaine, one of the
foremost of American statesmen
and certainly the most promi-
nent in the minds of the people
for many years past, passed
away at Washington last Fri
day morning. The whole nation
will sincerely mourn his not I'M
expected death. He was a typi-
cal American. He was far-see-
ing, cautious and fertile in issues.
For twenty-four years he has
sustained himself like a living
spring. The country by his death
loses one of it's brightest lights,
his party a tribune.

they could be spared. We are
apt To say when such men are
removed, as when a young man
of promise dies in his early man
hood, that it is deplorable that
they could not have been spared
yet a little longer; but we are
nevertheless compelled to believe
that their work was done and
well done, for the logic of events
is memorable and admits of no
cavil nor any special pleading.
Legislators, rich in statecraft;
jurists, whose brain is the depos-
itory of the accumulated juris-
prudence of generations; poets,
whose pens burn with living fire !;
preachers, in whose left hand are
the hearts of men and in whose
right is the gospel of peace; phil
anthropists, willing to spend and
be spent in the amelioration of
human suffering and for the up
lifting of the weak and the down
trodden; all these, as other men,
are seen today and are gone to-
morrow. Perhaps the candle of
their life is extinguished Just
when thousands of their fellows
are looking to them for light,
and then how dense is the dark
ness; perhaps the giving and
helping hand is withdrawn just
when the gift would have made
doubly rich and the help have
been a permanent succor, and
then the loss is magnihed by the
suddenness of the privation.
But whether in the home or in
the wider circle of the community
these losses are inevitable and
should be salutary. There should
be a spirit of thankiulness that
these lives Of rich equipment, of
lofty purpose and of successful
achievement have been lived. For
whatever of light their lives have
shed, whatever of earnest and
benehcent purpose they have in
spired, whatever of varied bless
ing they have bestowed, there
should exist not only gratitude,
but the sincere emulation which
is It's best expression. 1t is not
given to every one to attain in
degree to what they attained, but
there is no one who recognizes
the blessing their lives were to
the world but may attain to it
in kind. This is the highest type
of gratitude. IF this be done
those who have passed away
live again in tradition and in &C
ton and so their works do fol-
low them. "-Manchester Union.

THE LESSON OFT.

The deaths of many eminent
men in various walks of life
within the past few weeks, occur
ring as they have in appalling sue
cession, is more than ordinarily
suggestive. With perhaps one
or two exceptions, these men
had reached the age when one
might expect that death would
come to them at any moment !;
and yet such has been the fertility
and versatile abundance of the
wealth Of service they have given
to the world while living and
because their activities had not
ceased until almost the hour of
the dissolution, it was hard to
realize that they were not to go
on in their work or to feel that

THE CUTTING WILL CASE.


Everyone, except those who
have an appetite for purPoseless
litigation, will rejoice at the adj
iustment of one case, and that is
the Cutting Will case. That es-
tate in the beginning was looked
upon as a bonanza. 1t was
thought that ii would yield from
twenty to thirty thousand dol
lars; but on a careful investiga-
ton it collapsed. 1t consisted of
such kinds of property that little
was known about the value of it
by common people. The special
legacies in the will were set down
at great values because, as mat
tiers then stood, it was imma-
tcrial what value was placed
upon them, so that in estimating
the estate somewhat over ten
thousand dollars must be deduct
ed from the estimates; and in
adjusting the accounts a great
reduction must be made in the
accounts and notes which went
to make up the assets of the es-
tate. The debts due from the
estate amounted to about ten
thousand dollars. The result of
all this was ascertained to be
that there would be little or
nothing left for distribution.
Several issues would be left in
court unless adjusted, and if the
litigation continued there could
not in any evcIt be anything left
as the result Of that litigation.
This left only a question of
whether it was more just and
prudent to squander any posi-
bic remainder there might be in
litigation, or for all hands inter
csted to take hold, close up the
estate and save what might be
the result of such a course. The
parties unanimously and har-
moniously adopted the latter
course. So that now the proceeds
of the estate, if any, will be dis
tributed to the legal heirs of the
estate. We understand that in
this event the boy, Bert Allen
Cutting, will inherit the property
if any should be left. This seems
to be a most just and sensible
disposition of a matter that
would have otherwise been at
tended with great public and pri-
vatc expense, and relieve a great
many Ioor people from the
danger OF any loss in their little in

GROVER CLEVELAND.
Mr.. EDITOR

Mr.. EoIToR:-
1t would doubtless be little
startling to speak of Mr.. Cleve-
land as the sovereign of the Re-
public ofthe United States. How
ever, we think he comes nearer
being a sovereign than any man
in our history, and that our ma
ton never revealed the peculiar
clements which go to make up a
monarchy as at the present time.
Every thinking citizen, whether
democrat or a republican, knows
that whatever Mr.. Cleveland
thinks will be the true platform
of his party. The mode of ac-
ton, and the answer to all ques-
tons as to what the successful
party is going to do with it's new
power simply lies within the cir
cult of Cleveland's brain. This
is about all, we think, that is de-
finitely known by any United
States democrat or republican.
The democratic party will follow
Cleveland as it has for the past
eight years. There will be few
side bowls as there have been al
ready, some bourbons crying out
because Mr.. Cleveland attended
the funeral ofex- President Hayes,
that the visit "was uncalled
for and an insult to the
memory of Samuel J. Tilden."
Other toes may get stepped on
in the future and there will doubt
less be variety ofoutcries. But
they will not amount to much.
The democratic party is too chary
of its success to forsake its only
discovered path to success. That
path means follow Grover Cleve-
land and understand that he is
going to do just what he pleases.
For the time being what does the
United States lack ofbeing a mon
archy except its name? What
ruler of a civilized country has
really any easier fitting shoes
than Grover Cleveland is expect
ed to put on? We are not writ
ing criticism upon the President
elect-far from it. But it is well
to look at the facts that the
political condition of the present
time presents. We think that
what we have said will bear
thinking about. The length of
time that Mr.. Cleveland has been
successfully before, and honored
by, the American people is some
thing, to say the least, very unus-
ual if not unprecedented in our
national life. Itadds somewhat
