the various guns was blowing away In
dense clouds across the harbor, the
band on each ship struck up Hell Dir
Riegerkranz, and followed this with
the national anthem of its own coun-
try.

The Empress of Germany was not
present at the dinner On board the Hoh-

One of the features Of the day was
the warm and friendly reception given
To- the French gunboat Surcouc as she
steamed through the canal in the pro-
Cessi0n. The French flag was cheered

"Marseillaise" as the French ship went

German commander toasted the French

" ashington's Vote Against Free Suffrage

The local government of the city of
Washington differs materially from
that OF any other city in the United
States. The government is bureau
ocracy. board of three Commission
ers appointed by the President of the
United States run it. There are no
City Councilmen; no local political
heelers. But the three Commissioners
were considered too absolute and re
Gently movement was commenced for
local self government A movement
was made. amid much noise, to have
the local seIf-gOvernment"
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Herald says:
"A local newspaper. desiring to test
the strength of this movement. recent
ly sent out postal cards and took a vote
of representative citizens on the aues-
ton of restoring suffrage to the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t is significant
that 531 citizens voted against resto-
ration of suffrage and 1854 in favor of it.
1t is still more significant that of the
affirmative votes great majority were
cast by men who own property in
Washington and who would not be
willing to see the local government
turned over to the sort of City Council
third the vote is cast by the colored
population. Some thirty years ago
Washington had popular self govern
ment, but the corruption then existing
so Disguised the country that the town
was federalized and placed under the
present SYSTEM"
The point In this is the fact that the
citizens of the national capital are op
posed to giving the franchise to the
negro. Boiled down that is the mean
ing pure and simple. And the greater
significance uf this is the fact that the
majority of the citizens of Washington
are Republicans in sentiment. They
are national Republicans. Many of
them go to their native States and vote
the national Republican ticket. They
make great outcry against the dis
Reimbursement of the negro in the
South, and yet they do not hesitate
to accomplish his disfranchisement
when his vote affects their own homes
and property interests.
The negroes in Washington may be
supposed to be more intelligent than
the field hands in many Southern
States, and yet the whites in Washing
ton do not care to give them the power
to vote. This is one of the most signif.
icant vindications the South has ever
State.

Sham RefOrmers.

At the mass meeting held in New
York the other night to protest against
the passage of the Lexow's bipartisan
police bill, letter from Carl Schurz
was read. That eminent reformer
wrote -
1.-THE Lexow police bill, which l
have read carefully, should be en-
titled "A bill for the systematic per
petuation of the villanies disclosed be-
fore the LeXow committee"
And yet this is the bill a reform
Legislature insists upon passing and
which reform Governor is expected
to gu and which reform mayor has.
SO it is said, approved. 1t now would
appear that the whole design of the
Lexow investigation was to elect the
republican ticket and then to perpetu-
ate the abuses disclosed in the interest
of the republican party. This being
the case the honest refOrmers who
criticised Governor Flower for vetoine
the bill to appropriate $4,000 for the
Lexow committee should send in theil
apologies.-BaHS Sun.

HYPNOTIC SINGING.


The Most Disputed Incident of "Trilby"
Supported by Fact.
Among the many items apropos Of
Du Maurier's masterpiece not the least
interesting is the Closeness with which
he stuck to the facts. Ones first impress
sion upon reading how Svengali taught
Trilby to sing-how he hypnotized her
and commanded her to initiate the
sounds he made on his flexible f1ageolet
was 70 doubt that this at least was a
flight of poetic license. 1t seems, how
ever, to be we'll within the possibilities.
A case which in all essentials covers
it was reported as long ago as 1850 by
James Braid, the first of the successors
of Mesmer to approach the hypnotic
sleep from the side of science rather
than of charlatanism. After speaking of
the heightened sense of hearing under
mesmerism and of the increase of mus
cular precision, they make, he says,
''feats of phonic imitation" possible
which are truly astonishing.
'Many patients will thus repeat ac-
curately what is spoken in any language,
and they may be also able to sing cor
rectly and simultaneously both words
and music of songs in any language
which they had never heard before
j. O., they catch the words as well as
music so instantaneously as to accom-
pany the other singer as ii both had been
previously equally familiar with both
words and music.
"ln this manner a patient of mine
who, when awake, knew not the
grammar of even her own language,
and who had very little knowledge OF
music, was enabled to follow Mile.
Jenny Lind correctly in songs in differ
ent languages, giving both words and
music so correctly and so simultaneous
ly with Jenny Lind that two parties in
the room could not for some time i'm
agine that there were two voices, SO
perfectly did they accord, both in music
al tone and vocal pronunciatio of
Swiss, German and Italian songs. She
was equally successful i'll accompanying
Mile Lind in one of her extemporane-
Gus illusions, which was long and ex-
tremely difficult an elaborate chromatic
exercise, which the celebrated canta-
trice tried by way of taxing the powers
of the soninambulist to the utmost.
When awake, the girl burst not even
attempt to do anything of the sort, and,
after all, wonderful as it was, it was
only phonic imitation, for she did not
understand the meaning of single
IF fl,n f.r NH oh Sbf,
uttered so correctly.
This is exactly Trilby's case, only
more so, except that there is nothing to
indicate i'll the report that ''the patient
remembered Jenny Lind's songs and
could reproduce them, but the forma-
ton of trance state memory is a suf-
ficiently frequent phenomenon. The
quotation is from Braid's Observations
on Trance" page Anew York Post

WHAT IMMIGRATION WILL DO.-The
Vicksburg Herald says: "One of the
grandest results that will come from
the thick settlement of the South by
Northern white people will be the dis
appearance of the race question for
ever. That question is steadily dying
out now. but with the increase of the
white population to three or four times
the present size the race question will
be dead
Commenting on the above the
Atlanta Constitution says: I'VE do
not want fewer blacks. but more
whites. There is room here for both
races, and the next generation will see
them happy and prosperous, side by
side, with no attempt on the part of
either to Cypress or injure the other.
If we now had in the South a popula-
ton of $4,000 600 whites. the 7,000.0 900
blacks among US would hardly make
their presence felt. immigration will
benefit both races by developing this
section and giving capital, enterprise
and labor new opportunities and bet
ter rewards

compex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody. at some time or another cOnceiveS
