TIE mistake made in the Kansas courts, where an 'actual murderer was acquitted and his hypnotic instigator convicted of the murder in the first degree, was in the failure to convict the man who did the killing as we'll as the man who suggested it. There would probably have been an end of hypnotic murders if principal and accomplice had both received the same penalty, but it will be strange if hereafter there shall not be full crop in Bloody Kansas.

SECRETARY MORTON is always interested in everything connected with the food sup ply of the people; hence it is not surpris- ing that he should be devotipg his tune and the power of the department of agri- culture to heading of the extortion of the beef trust If he had hls way. and Presi
 dent Cleveland and the other members of the cabinet agree with him, the tariff of 20 per cent ad valorem on foreign cattle would at once be abolished, but only con- gress can do that. As the next best thing Secretary Morton has amended the rules of his department so as to admit Mexican cattle. after they have been inspected by our officials. From the very marked vari- tions in the retail price of beef in different l cities Secretary Morton Is inclined to be- lieve that the retailer is squeezing the consumer harder than he himself is being suuet zed by the trust. He said: My l belief is that a ring exists among the big slaughterers. The difficulty now before us is how to prevent it's continuance. If anything Is done the papers will have to | do it. The Sherman antitrust law will neither punish nor protect. We've gone all through it with A microscope, and it is clear that it was made to be evaded and gone around There Is nothing left but the lash of public opinion, and that must be vigorously wielded by the newspapers.

HYPNoTIzEO VILLAGE.
Strange Mania That Has Recently Attacis-
ed Connecticut Community.

Tho village Of Huntington, Conn,
has been attacked during tho last few
weeks by strange mania Many per-
SONS act as if 'bowitohod, others believe
themselves to be under the hypnotic in
fluence of stronger natures, while still
others asoribe the strange power to spir-
itual exaltation.
Tho authorities have taken serious
view of the. matter and havo passed
law against tho witchery and forbidden
any one to practice hypnotism under
penalty Of $25 fine for reach offense.
The craze started more than month
ago, when thore appeared at the public
hall ono Professor Corne, whom the
hnndbiAs proclaimed "a famous hypno-
list. Such an entertainment was a rare
occurrence in the place, and the people
flocked to see the evidences Of his mnr-
velous powers In the village were sew
eral followers Of Swedenborg, and they
had dreamed dreams like their beloved
teacher and were prepared to believe,
but the Methodists of the village were
skeptical aud did not take much stock"
in the professor.
Corne was persuaded to repeat his lee
ture third time. The unbelievers were
present and even took their places on
the stage Us good subjects, and by the
influence Of the professor ate olives for
apricots, drank water out Of empty
glasses and barked like dogs.
The mania seized the whole town, and
the contagion became general. Business
was neglected, because everybody flocked
to the hall School children hypnotiaed
teachers to escape punishment. Old goaks
hypnotized bartenders, SO that they gave
81 i'll change for 81 bills. Young men,
on the other hand, became hypnotized
by their sweethearts, SO they could not
go home at 10 O'Clock, as tradition has
always prescribed there. New York Re-
