JURY SERVICE.

The Tribune has received from citizen
Of Scranton an interesting communica tion
describing his first experience as a Juror.
1t is as follows:
Although nearly middle age never, un-
til this week, have had the honor of serv-
Ing on jury before, and after flve days
experience of 1t. I have feelings of a
very mixed character. have been
amused, annoyed and angry in turns
amused at the farc!al character of the
whole system Of trial by jury; annoyed at
being taken away from my business to dis
pense justice In such trivial cases as have
come before the court this week, nine out
Of ten being the result of drinking sprees;
the. jury nre put into, to deliberate on
their verdicts. This room ought to have
the immediate attention of the board Of
health. One glance at the beds and the
other furniture was sufficient, believe, In
a number of instances, to make the Jury
come to unanimous conclusion a great
deal sooner than they otherwise would
have done. Although a citizen Of scran-
ton for some years, am socially Of such
quiet nature. that very. few of the leai-
Ing lights (or the lights that don't iead) OF
the legal fraternity are known personally

THE HYPNOTlZED REPORTER.

In all ages the necromancer has played
an important part In the healing OF dis
ease. and seems liable to hold his own for
that the wizard who charms away sick-
ness has been forced to endure large
amount. Of ridicule, whether In the guise Of
the medicine man, spiritualist or magnet-
ic healer, or Christian scientist, he must
have given some evidence Of power in
order to make converts in any field Of
labor. II the witch doctor. faith healer
or scientist did nothing but talk he would
soon be without followers In his profess
sion. 1t Is the explanation Of marvellous
results that puzzles the individual who
wishes to observe the cause In every ;e-
markable result given In this field of med
no results are shown. They are brought
to notice almost daily.
-:l:-
Only a few days since a woman en-
ployed in the central city fell down q flight
of stairs carrying in her arms a tub Of hot
water. In addition to receiving several
bad cuts. she was painfully scalded by
the hot water that ran over her body.
regular physician was summoned who
bones had been broken. A request was
then made for q charmer to come and
drive away the pain occasioned by the
burns on the woman's body. To the sur.
no objection to the wltchcraft business.
The wizard was sent for and in a short
frtftt began his fnCanJuItUny
In few minutes the woman declared that
the pain left her. The bystanders smiled
but the doctor looked serious. "You may
laugh" he said, ''but l must confess that
in my practice / have seen more wonder
full results than this. I do not pretend
to explain 1t, but the voudoo doctors at
times produce results that are mar.
velous."
--:ll:-
Neatly all thus admit 'la: tSc'r |. scire.
thing in the witch-do ctoring business hut
none can explain the cause. Ever the
voudOos themselves can generally offer no
reason for their mysterious power. Thus
far the only reasonable explanation or
fered by science seems to be in hypnotlsm.
1t has been demonstrated in many in.
stances that unseen forces may pe brought
to bear upon certain persons under favor
able conditions that will produce power
full results. 1t Is probable that In every
case wher0 a cure Is effected by means
of incantations the operator is mes
merist and the subject possesses powers
to a greater or less extent as a trance
medium. The remarkable cures made are
simply cases Of hypnotism. Where the
subject Is not susceptible to psychic in
fluence, the efforts of the voudoo, the
faith healer, the scientist or any other
person who claims to cure disease with
out medicine are In vain. This Is my the
ory. II better one can be advanced It
will be cheerfully published.

Mineral Production in ISos.

Our acknowledgements are due to r.
=. Rothwell. editor OF the Mining and
Engineering Journal. of New York. for
advance proofs of an interesting table
of mineral and metal statistics of the
United States for 1896. Each year MIR.
Rothwell tabulates the mineral and
metal production of the preceding year.
and Incorporates 1t into an annual
entitled "The Mineral Industry, Its
Statistics. Technology and Trade" "A"
which has become an international au-
thority. The table is reproduced in full
on another page and will merit atten-
tive scrutiny.
From 1t one learns that the total
value of the mineral and metal pro-
duction of, the United States in 1895
amounted to the enormous sum of
S613SS1 ,505,' which compares with a
similar total of s57S,47O,e5S for 1894,
showing an increase of $95,i11,447 for
the year. OF the whole amount last
year. $2i0Gl5,120 represented the value
of the metals. and $i33, ,266,SS5 that of
tie utIi-EictullC pTOuuCts, iHSiuuiHS
Sj,OO0.0 900 worth Of various unspecificd
products. From these totals, however,
1t is necessary to make some deduc-
tlons for articles which have been nee
essarly duplicated in the table. A
careful estimate of the proper amount
of these deductions would give. in Mr..
Rothwell's Judgment. about $45,O00000
in 1895, against $34, 900, 900 in 1894. Max
ing these deductions we have total
net value for 1895 of s62S,SS1,50o, as
against $54i,470,OJS for 1894, the in
crease amounting to $S4, ,22G,5 SOB, or 1876
per cent.
The figures given show that the
United States last year took first rank
as producer, not eHlsyt of the the precious
metals, but also Of the most important
of the useful metals, iron and copper.
while in coal It Is still second 'only to
Great Britain. with the certainty that
in q few years it will take the first
place. This showing Is the more re-
marllable when we consider that the
year 1895 was one Of widespread de-
preston. Had the silver output been
up to former standards the aggregate
showing of last year would have been
something phenomenal, even for this
nation of natural wonders.

1t cannot cost Europe less than $1,000

armament, land and naval. This drain
upon the resources of q continent al

proved a grievous, almost a fatal bur-
den, to the masses whose labor must

many contributary causes to the preva-
lence in almost every European coun-
try of a rampant spirit Of anarchy
among the working classes; but the one
preponderating cause is undoubtedly
the intolerable exactions of the mill
tary spirit with its weight Of crushing
burdens upon their productive energies.

Europe's 100000 superfiuous soldiers

deniably immoral reasons. such as a
thirst for dominion or a bully's delight
to exhibit brute strength. But 1t Is
vain as yet to pretend that war can be
prevented when there exists or seems
to exist serious provocation. A blow
to the national honor cannot be sub
mitted to arbitration. The CLEANLINESS
of such recourse renders 1t preposter-
Gus and impossible. A blow to the ma
tional honor will be resented by sensi-
tive nation. not by soft words or law
yers' briefs but by arms, and no amount
Of glorification Of the civilizing intlu-
ences of arbltra tion will ever alter this
fundamental truth. However, II all

The Salvation Army's Future.

An unusually intelligent and appre-
ciative view Of the recent division in
the Salvation army is taken in the cur
rent number of the New Unity, the Or
gan Of western Universalism. 1.-THE
American people," 1t says, "show their
breeding by their sensitiveness concern
ing anything that looks like despotism.
They would naturally protest against
any new form of church Capitalization,
however benevolent the purpose held
In view by the actors and organizers
Our fundamental constitution Is not
only state without king, but a
church without a bishop. The growth
of the Salvation army as family af-
fair, the inspiration of single brain,
was tolerable idea during the life Of
the builder. But now that there seems
to be dynastic feature fixed on the
movement. Americans will be slow to
indorse or tolerate.
ut may have been wise to give re-
liGious movement the name and epau-
lettes and accoutrements of war; al
. though that is very improbable. The
real glory and power OF this organiza-
tion has been, however, that It has gone
to the poor and low down in a simple
way and lived Christ without preach
ing him. The secret discovery of Gen.
eral Booth was that the world had been
preached at great deal too much
What was wanted was not more talk
about Jesus, but more Jesus. The work
done by the army has been noisy, but
great care has been used not to exhaust
moral power in sermons But the dis
ruption in New York and positive re-
volt Of one Of his sons warrants us in
asking what Is to come of this central
lied power. That 1t will be used with
devotion and wisdom during General
Booths life is probable: but what after
his death?
1.-THE collision was apparently the ma
tural consequence Of having too
powerful subordinate. When the Ro-
man emperors raised favorite so high
as to make him unmanageable they
were compelled to have him strangled."
And 1t was to avert an experience Of
netaphorical strangling. II we may
credit the published evidence, that
caused Ballington Booth to surrender
his American lieutenancy and take up
the work Of the American Volunteers.

of a special issue comprising twenty
four pages of original reading matter

4 REVIEW OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The Republican Club OF the City OF New-fork
has got out circular reviewing the work OF the
club during the campaign Just closed. containing
paragraphs directed TO business men. in which they
are urged to give time and attention 10 the pr-
mary meetings Of their respective parties. so that
no such dangerous issues as were brought forward
in the last campaign will hereafter be raised by
any political party. The circular declares that the
administration of the National Government Is an
administration by political party. and the pr-
mary meetings Of political party are the initial
points of delegated power. The primary meetings
Of all parties should be strictly regulated by
law.
The report further says: Every citizen. native
or naturalized, should be taught that there Is no
government, nor can there be any. except gov
ernment Of law and there be no liberty but lib-
erty regulated by law. and II this republic is to
continue TO exist II can do so only through the in
.eligent action of its citizens in the exercise of the
elective franchise. The result OF the election, is
believed, will restore the Republican party to
rover in the legislative and executive depart ments
Of the National Government on and after the 4th
day Of March, 1897"
