tits not show place, like the Paris morgue,
or that of New York for while it is quite
as gruesome as either it is far more uG-
slightly. Congress has been asked often
andimportunatelyt to grant a n appropriation
for a morgue constructed and equipped
upon scientific and sanitary principles,
but all pleadipgs and arguments, whether
advanced ON behalf of humanity or proper
sanitation, have been entirely in vain. The
Commissioners will make another effort
at the coming session of Congress to in
duce that body to give the money required
for the purpose and will, it is hoped, meet
with better success than heretofore.
Intendaut Stoutenburgh, of the almshouse,
recommends, in his annual report to the
Commissioners, that the ''pottcrs' field
be abandoned, and the bodies OF deceased
paupers disposed of in a crematory, to be
erected on the grounds. His statement that
the grounds have been used three times over

the surface as to make itpre judicial to health
is enough to send ashivering sensation down
ones spinal column. Apart from the local
eXigencies, the process of cremation is in-
finitely more sensible aud certainly more
in the interest OF the public health than
burial. 1t will not be many years before
cremation viii be generally substituted for
interment. The situation at the almshouse
is such that a crematory will bring relief
in more ways than one.
The Commissioners purpose to support
the intendants suggestion and to couple
with it the recommendation that a morgue.
he erected near the crematory. The first
part of the proposition will be generally
indorsed, for a morgue is an urgent ne
cessity and a crematory scarcely less so;
but to locate this building near the alns-
house would be the height of folly. Its
place is at a central point of the District,
for the convenience of the police and the
public. To put it near the almshouse would
render 1t weiinigh inaccessible. By all
means let us have morgue and crematory.

his subjects had absorbed the suggestion
that he was IA monkey and n that character
had gotten hold OF the hat Of one of the
spectators and bitten n piece out of il.
The owner OF the hat dema nded damages
for his mutilated hcadgear, but the hyE-
notiSt refused to pony up. Then the mat
ter was carried into court and the judge
held that a hyrnotist is responsible for the
actions Of his subject so long as the latter
is acting by force Of the formers sugges-
ton. The case is to be taken up to the
court OF last resort, and the decision of this
tribunal Will be awaited with no little in
terest by the legal and medical professions
and by the public generally, because If the
decision of the lower court should hc sus-
tanned it will establish an important precc-
dent for the settlement Of similar cases.
Although h ypnotisIn has until now had no
standing in the courts, it has long been
accepted by the medical profession as u
scientific fact. and not mere Illusion or
delusion. Such emineut specialists as
Charcot, in Paris, Leibschuetz, in Leip-
Sic, and Maurel, In Zurlcn, nave WIDELY
exploited its possibilities. and not merely
utilized it for abstract speculation, but en-
ployed it with eminent success in the treat
ment of nervous diseases. In their foot
steps have followed many medical practi-
tioNers, both in Europe and the United
States. and it is of record that hypnotism
has served an excellent purpose in surgical
operations by making the subject tractahle
without resorting TO anaesthetics. When-
ever the position taken by he Georgia judge
is confirmed by the appellate court, it will
then bchoove Legislative bodies to take cog
nizance OF the matter. and enact legislation
to regulate the practice of hypnotisn just
as the practice of medicine and surgery Is
now controlled 5y law.

Candidate for Attorney General in
Texas Is Out

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 6.-Another sensation
was sprung on political circles here last
evening By tie announcement that Hon. w.
Walton, of Austin, Populist nominee for
attorney general, had Withdrawn from the
ticket. The news was announced in a teie-
gram from Marion Williams, member
of the Populist State executive committee
Chairman Bradley is not in the city, and
the telegram was received by Secretary
Cureton. He said:
Il am surprised at Mr.. Walton's action.
He has been treated fairly by the State
committee, and we expected him TO remain
on the ticket to the end of the campaign.

in the matter"
1t has been known for the last two weeks
that Mr. Walton was dissatisfied with the
drift of political events. 1t is believed that

WEDNESDAY, MARCH IL, 1896.
1T WAS LIVELY.

Three venerable members of the SEN
ate at Washington got dangerously
close to belligerency yesterday. 1t was
a moment of some warmth. The topic
under discussion was warlike. 1t must
have been a picturesque scene: un-
doubtedly the gallery enjoyed it,
1t seems that Senator Hoar should
have been prepared to take care Of a
resolution in which he had proposed
that the senate put over the DISPOSE
ton of the Cuban resolutions until
April 6. He did not want to speak to
this resolution, his plea being that he
was not feeling well, and he asked that
the subject go over until to-day.
Mr.. Sherman wouldn't have It; he
ators saw that he was very much
stirred. Massachusetts, and Ohio had 1t
out for a few minutes. Honors were
easy until Senator Morgan found him
self drawn into the tilt. Mr.. Hoar
wanted the usual senatorial courtesy
extended to him. and he was vexed at
the proposed refusal of 1t. Mr.. Sher-
man saw an Interior purpose in Mr..
Hoar's demand, and he viewed the
pending resolution as a serious reflec-
ton on the committee on foreign re-
lations. Mr.. Morgan insisted on a hear
ing long enough to prevent Mr.. Hoar
from putting a wrong construction on
his words. There were lively passes;
even as given in the condensed form
of this mornings dispatch the story is
racy.
In the end, Mr.. Morgan sandwiched
in statement that set his record at
rights Mr.. Sherman took reasonably
good care of his committee; Mr.. Hoar
got the postponement for which he had
made request. That is to say, Senator
Hoar got rather the best of the scrap.

house. Touching this point. the New
York Journal of last Friday said: Mr..
Olney's inspired lips, touched with a
lump of ice from the white house re-

ments of the executive cold-storage

Mr.. Cleveland actually means to ignore
that resolution IL it emerge from con-
ference and pass both houses in form

hardly worth while to pass it for the
purpose of verifying the secretary's
forecast; that will be waste of time.

Their purpose who unroll?
From out the past they travel.
The future is their goal.
Theirs are the forward faces.
The springs Arcadian airs;
The old eternal graces
OF youngling Time are theirs.
Or gold the sky or ashen.
There broods within their breast
The sleepless pilgrim passion,
The sweet divine unrest.
They neither flag nor falter,
They tarry not nor tire;
Their aim they will not alter
Although a king desire.
They fear nor frost nor fever.
Nor fire nor famine they;
They follow fate, the weaver.
For ever and a day.
Now tell their eyes the story
OF more than mortal tears.
Now CLEAN with starry glory,
