Editor Wil1mar Tribune:
OF all the surprising doctrines
enunciated of late, the most sur

DIR. johnson, that we must give
up because we were beaten in
the last campaign r Where can
there be any hope FOR reform if
we are not to be allowed to agi-

The majority rules, certainly,
but if we believe the majority
are wrong it is our duty to try
to change that majority into a
minority. Is not that what has

They felt they were right and
after each defeat they grew
stronger, until finally victory
:perched on their banners. The
.Repub licans were beaten in 1884
and 1895, but they did not con

HYPNOTISM THIS MONTH,

STARTLE US AT THE OPERA
HOUSE.

The engagement in this city of
McEwen, the famous Scottish
mind reader and hypnotist, which
commences on January II, for
one week, will prove the most in
teresting and amusing attraction
that has been here for many a
day. McEwen's explanation of
what hypnotism really is, is mas.
terful and convincing, and proves
him to be man of wonderful
perception and ability to make
the most diligent researches. He
will unveil and so clearly explain
hypnosis that all can readily
comprehend, then with a class of
local subjects introduce his most
laughable tests. His entertain
ments are the most amusing, yet
at the same time most refined,
differing from any exhibitions of
like nature ever presented here.
Popular prices will prevail and
the professor will no doubt be
greeted by crowded houses.
