THE TARIFF BILL.

The Democratic leaders in the
United States Senate are In a guam
dairy.
The failure to get members OF
their party to agree to the cloture
rule dIssipated the fondest hopes OF
the enthusiasts.
The policy of the Republicans
that of individual obstruction is un-
questionably the wlsest that could
have been devised.
Organized resistance would have
nerved the Democrats to action, uni.
fed them and induced the members
of thatsparty to feel justified I'm tax
ing any radical action.i
Ae it is now, no one who has
watched closely the proceedings car
doubt, but what the bill will hardly
devoted on within three months AND
that the effect of it's passage will b.
anything but beneficial to the party
In whose interest 1t was launched.
The concessions made to those
who have opposed its passage have
caused curses, loud and deep tC

ADVICE FREELY GIVEN.

CoLoRED men, we must not fall to
assert our manhood. This does not
imply that we should be insulting.
We cannot demonstrate our posi-
ton of equality before the law by
boorishness or by an appeal to ILL
hammered methods.
We must condemn the vicious OF
our race and discounteDaI &c any
act which Is not justified by the sur
rounding circumstances.
Even though we condemn crime
alleged to have been committed by
u member OF our race, we must in
sist that the law mete the punish
ment.
In taking this course we do not
endorse the act of the criminal but
stand for the maintenance OF the
law.
In this course rests the safety oil
the Republic, and the perpetuity ol
free institutions
We should stand by our leaders
and not join in with white men In
crying down the worthy members o
our race.
We should condemn the veDa
and corrupt element of the whit
race, and commend the true ant
honest elements Of It.
When assertions are made that W
hate white people, it should be deni
! ed for we are their friends
We have been the oppressed an
J they the oppresscrs. There are hor
orabIe exceptions and we should no
forget to state the fact.
We should steer clear of the demt
pogue, be he white or black, demo
crat or republican.
Ruin follows in his pathway an
disaster awaits big blind follower
X before the end of the journey hs
y been reached.
d Radical action should seldom
l. resorted to, and then only when I'll
other side has forced US to 1t. lee
son should supplant prejudice, ar
the faults we condemn in certa
white men, we should be careful le
:" we practice them ourselves.
- To live right Is to do right. v
should be positive In our actio
slow to operate but sure to perfor
the necessary duty.
- We should foster @ Christia

dies the fire of hate and allows [
moldering embers to remain with

Facts About Hypnotism.
Especial correspondence. ]

NEW YORK, Jan. According to all the
modern authorities, hypnotism is the sci
ence of the slccpike state which is pro-
duced by some special influence upon the
nervous system. This state may be in
duced i'll not only human beings, but in n
vast number of animals, high and low.
Professor CZermak has hypnotizod pigeons,
Dr. Beard chickens and ducks, Professor
auckland cats and Dr. Bayliss Holsters. so
that they lost not only the power of loco
notion but Of all the voluntary muscles.
Besides these similar cXpcriments have been
successfully performed upon monkeys.
dogs, horses, cows, sheep, Scrpents and al.
li9ators. Professor Bernheim of the School
oil Nancy, France, asserts that any and all
animals possessing Il moderately developed
nervous system can be hypnotizcd, and thai
the only difficulty is to ascertain the condi
tions under which n particular nervous sys-
tenn is to he influenced in Il special manner
An interesting fact to be drawn from
these experiments upon the lower animals
is that they strongly confirm the popular
beliefs that scrpcnts charm birds, weusels
mesmerize rats, the larger carnivora fasci.
nate many of their prey. and that the
dreaded rattlesnake exercises similar in
fluencc upon many women and children if
not upon men.
10 produce this sleeplikc state in human
beings any number of methods are en-
ployed. Every subject seems Il law unto
himself i'll this regard, no Two cases ever
being exactly alike. All methods agree
upon one point-viz, having the subject
rivet his attention upon some particular
object and relinquish all thought as far as
can be done.
In general it may be stated that the pa
tient either sits, kneels, reclines or lies
down. His eyes are fixed upon an object,
preferably bright, just above Che normal
plane OF vision. His mind is directed cx-
clusively to the wish to fall asleep.
Beyond these three conditions it is found
that the hypnotiZing process is hindcred or
favored by external circumstances. Twi-
light or low burning lamps, the presence of
flowers, fruits and perfumes, silence or else
soft or distant music, comfortable furni.
ture and upholstery and agreeable COM
pany are very favorable.
AS to who can be treated in this manner
the answer is, Almost everybody The east
est are hysteriacs, the hardest are men
with well trained intcnects or else, strange
to say, idiots. Children and youths are
much easier than adults; women Il trifle
easier than men. Blends are more difficult
than brunettes; people from cold than those
from warm climates. There is no difference
between strong and weak people unless the
weakness comes from hystcria or hystcrical
proclivities. w. +. 5. FALES.

mendous crush 1t is estimated that 5000
people entered the White House doors that
night. In the corridors, and especially in
the east room, the crowding was terrific It
was almost impossible to move. The people
were packed as tight almost as the tradi-
tional Smyrna figs in their little box De
spite the opening of windows Mt the top
the White House has no other means of
ventlation-the air was like that in an oven
where there is baking meat
Who arc the people who make up these
5000? Who are the fortunate ones who do
not have to push" for invitations, but yet
them rs II matter of official right? First,
the diplomatic corps. OF these, counting
ambassadors, ministers, secretaries, attach
cs and their wives and daughters, there are
about 400 persons. Nearly all of them were
on hand Thursday night. They were re-
splendent in their court uniforms and their
gayest gowns. Then came congress. AS
You know, there are more than 400 senators
and representatives,. Probably twO-thirds
OF them were present. Nearly every one
was accompanied by one or more ladies y
thousand persons altogether were added to
the throng from the congressional circle
The Press Gets There, as Usual.
The Judiciary is not so very extensive,
but still made quite Il showing. The JUS
tees OF the supreme court, the court of
claims and the local courts, with their fam
lilies, added nearly Il hundred persons to
the throng. The army, navy and marine
corps arc Il host in themselves To see our
army on the plains or our navy i'll IL road
stcadTyou would not think it very cXten-
sive, but see the gallant officers walking to
the White House in squads and battalions
and in the famous old mansion note the
profusion of gold braid, of jaunty epaulets,
the forest of dangling swords, and YOU will
perhaps for the first time in your life APP
prcciate the magnitude of these three sen
arate corps of national defenders
When you see the many handsome wives
of these officers, gay, apropos, up to date
you will perceive why the army and navy
social circle is so much sought after in
Washington.
Nor will il do To overlook the newspaper
contingent. There are 175 newspaper cor
respondents nj this capital besides the rcp-
rcscntativcs of the local press All these
are invited, and nearly all of them, with
their wives daughters and sisters, were in
attendance on the diplomatic reception.
The remainder Of the 5000 guests were
heads of bureaus and of minor DEPART
mcnts OF the government, members of sci
cntiiic institutions, society people who have
no official rank and contingent of unin-
vtcd "pushers" rather larger than usual.

cabinet adviser had some right to exert
pressure upon the president concerning the
persons whom he is to invite to his house.
These pleas always meet with the response:
"Colonel Wilson has entire charge of that
matter. You will have to see him"

1t is well that Grand Chamberlain Will

more OF these great receptions at the White
House The first one on the programme

diplomats never abates in Washington.
They are by long odds the most picturesque
show in this town. At the levee in their
honor last Thursday night there was ire
