ing to Put Through.
The Republics Washington CORE
spondent indicates some of the big
stakes in republican success this year
for a few favored individuals.
The biggest stake, of course, will be
swept in by the tariff barons, who are
confidently expecting return of the
halcyon days of tariff robbery. They
are prepared to make heavy investment
in slush funds to be returned in pro-
lection fat.
But in addition to this general squeeze
of the people, there are several special
grabs in hand. c. P. Huntington is get
ting his Pacific railroad legislation in
shape to throw the burdens of the roads
on the people and to keep the plumber
and the profits in the pockets of hirs-
self and his associates. Warner Miller
is waiting for a republican administra-
ton that he may get si0O,oo0,o0o for his
Nicaragua canal. Matt Quay is nursing
100000, goo canal job against the COM
ing of a republican congress and presi-
dent.
These are samples of the jobs the re
publican hooters are preparing for a
wide open" republican administration.
If the republicans can slip into full
power on a democratic quarrel there will
be fine fleeing of the people for the
party's beneficiaries.-St. Louis Re

Remarkably Historic Career.

When all ifs and ands are laid aside.
The still remarkable fact remains that
the democrats have had the presidency
for So years and all their opponents to-
gether only A, while they have con-
troiled both houses in 25 of the "a con-
crosses that have sat and held one
branch or the other in 80, leaving their
opponents in complete possession in
congress during only Is, or much less
than one-third OF the Legislative terms.
This means, in other words, that the OPP
ponents of the democracy, federalists,
wings and republicans, all together,
have been intrusted by lie people with
the complete control of both the legis-
latiye and executive branches of the
government during only 81 of the 100
years since Washington's retirement,
or much less than one-fourth. of the
whole time, while during 40 years the
democrats have controlled both houses
of congress and the presidency ard been
in full possession of the government

MIND AND BODY.

DR.. SchOfield ON the Powers Of the I'M
conscious Mind.
AT large meeting of the Victoria
institute, held recently, Hon. A. Near
thur in the chair, after the election OF
several new members, DIR. Schofield in
troduced the subject of 'the rela-
tons of mind and body, or the
powers of the unconscious mind"
He began by pointing out that the
ego, or permanent nexus" of Her
bert Spencer holds a great deal
more than states of consciousness" to-
gether. That although nearly all the
writer's on psychology limit mind to
consciousness, its true scope is far
wider. 4 coral island on the Pacific Is
but the visible summit of vast SUBJ
merged mountain; and so the mind of
which we are conscious is but the
visible part of vast structure. In a
very interesting way DIR. Schofeld de-
veloped the idea and proofs OF a SUBJ
conscious mind, showing its selective
powers like the action Of private
secretary opening all letters and plac-
ing few before his chief" its automat-
ic powers, as in solving problem, ETC.,
when ''our conscious mind delivers the
result at the doors of our consciousness
just like prepaid parcel"
Not only, however, is there sub-con
seriousness, but what may be called "su.
pra-consciousness." The whole region
in which conscience dwells is largely
unconscious, and thus consciousness
like the visible part of the spectrum
occupies the middle ground which the
mind as whole reaches all the way;
it energies every body cell, all of whose
active life it originates"
A sane man is one in whom the con-
scious mind rules, an insane when it
is overpowered by some parts of the
sub-conscious.
Passing on to the application of these
principles DIR. Schoield explained the
phenomena of hypnotism and then
dwelt at some length on the powers for
evil and for good of the unconscious
mind over the body. He showed the
great bearing this has on therapeutics,
and taking up hysteria, specially point
ed out in detail the history of it's phe.
nomena and the steps for its rational
cure. The author concluded by refer
ring to the modus operandi OF faith
healing, quack remedies ct HOG genus
omne, and appealing to the medical pro-
fession and to scientific men generally
in respect to such researches.

THE MAN AND THE PLATFORM.

Mr.. Cariisle's Manly sExnmpls 70 xhe
Dodging RepubIicanA
MI. Carlisle refuses to make a contest
for the nomination. In assuming this
attitude he shows that respect for the
presidency and for himself that ought
10 be characteristic of every man
deemed worthy to be a presidential can
iddate, but which is now SO foreign
&c our leading politicians that, because
the secretary of the treasury refuses to
announce that he is 'in the fight, ana
Ia to stay," some newspapers at once
interpret the letter to mean that he de-
clines the nomination in advance. Mr..
Carlisle simply says that he viii not con-
test for delegates, that he vii! remain
nj Washington and perform his public
duties, and that he cannot approve OF
any platform that does not take sound
positions on the money and the tariff
questions. In other words, Mr.. Car
Isle will not accept nomination on
a platform containing an unsound or
a double dealing currency plank. He
will stand on the record of his public
services. If he is TO be candidate, his
nomination must be an endorsement
of those services, and the party must ex
press that in its platform.
This is declaration of principle that
reyives faith in the future of the repub-
lic, especially as it comes at time when
the leading candidates of the repub-
lican party do not dare to utter an
opinion on the most important question
that will be discussed in the coming
camuaipn. Mr.. Carlisle has rendered a
real service to the country in insisting
that his party shall declare for sound
money if he is to be its candidate. No
republican candidate except Mr.. Nor
ton would do this; at least nc one OF
them has done it, unless it be Mr.. Nor
ton, speaking through the platform

CONGRESS AND BUSINESS.


Trade and IntustRy Checked by tho Stag
nant Republicans.
The American Textile Journal has
complied the replies to 1900 inquiries
sent to manufacturers of wool. The
replies show few mills closed, few
working on short time, but large ma
jority open and running on full time.
The statistics refute the calamity howl
that has recently been raised about
the wooden industry. There is no evi-
dence of the cyclone that Senator Haw-
ley said had struck the wooden industry,
although the depression IN the business
is apparent. In the wooden cloth mills
IL sos out of 1852 looms are in opera
ton. In dress goods 1888 out of 3,011
looms are in operation. In carpets, l.
s62 out of 2,296 looms are going. In
blankets and fannels 1,o9a out of 1, 462
looms are in operation.
In carpets and fannels the proper
ton of idle looms is less than the pro-
portion in dress goods and cloth. It
is worthy of attention that this condi-
dition of affairs has come about since
the meeting of the republican congress.
Prior to the assemblage Of congress the
wooden industry in this country was
especially active. In the year 1895 over
100000, 900 pounds of imported wool was
used in American mills, more than in
the preceding year under the Mckinley
law. The first year of the Wilson law
saw more wool consumed by the Amer
lean mills than ever before The un-
employed were absorbed from the high
ways, and set to work in wealth-prc-
ducing industry. More American goods
were made by American workingmen
than ever before. There had been many
wage advances and the tendency was to
higher rates.
The meeting of the republican con-
gress checked this condition of pros-
perity- Business became dull. The
threat of a ripping up of the tariff by
the houses, and the threat of free sill
yer bill by the senate made the trade
cautious and made capital extremely
shy. The lack of demand Tor goods was
felt by the manufacturers. Business
suffers from the threats of disturbance
If looms are idle, and if there is a land
to-mouth business done in woolens, the
responsibility for it should not be mis-
placed. The people should not forget
the part played by the clustering,
-wrangling, threatening congress. The
