The first meeting OF this federation

sorcsis. The lirst biennial meeting
convened in Chicago in 1897, the second
in Philadelphia in 1894. The fedora
ton has no special measures to further.
Ii does not permit organized effor-
among its clubs for woman suffrage o.,
municipal reform. however much indi-
yidual members mey encourage such
works. Its objects are general improve
ment, and the furthering of common
sympathy and encourageme among
the members. Some very weighty
questions will be handled at the con-

the ablest minds in the feminine world.

HYpEoTIsM AND CRIME.

Chicago, May 26.--Dr w. Xayier
Sudluth, an expert on hypnotism, adj
dressed the Anthropological society on
"Hypnotism and Crime" He said
there was no such thing as hypnotic
suggestion in criminal acts. He main
tanned that any suggestion repugnant
to the moral sense Of the subject would
result in a passive condition. Tine
subject he said. responds only to
such suggestions as are al accordance
with his moral sense. He is conscious
OF what he is doing. His acts are in
conformity to suggestions beyond nim.
but not without The exercise of his own
voiitlon. A criminal could hardly be
influenced under hypnotic suggestion
TO commit acts that he would not per-
form when in active mind. The assar-
ton of crime under hypnotic sugges-
items is absurd The individual com
mits his acts by his own volition, ana
TO appeal TO a hypnotic defense is
equivalent to eonfessing 10 his crime.
These lurid stries Of unconscious Grim
inal acts have no existence outside IF
yellow covered novels.

is contradicted by the Cuban revoiu-
tionists. who add that Spain is cruel
unjust, exacting, extortionate, and that
she enriches herself at the cost of
Cuba and refuses its people the right
to be heard or fairly represented; that
the Spanish tribunals are prejudiced,
biased against Cubans, and that justice
is an unknown quantity when Cuban
patriot and a Spanish oppressor are at
issue before the courts.
These facts we do know, that Spanish
rule has nearly always been misrule;
that it is the rule of a favored class;
that it denies to the common people fair
hearing and representation; that Cuba
has cost Spain more than it has yielded
her is probably true, however. But
this would not have been so had Span
ish Government been what it should be.
That Cubans on the other hand have
been more or less in arms or in politics
opposed to the mother country for CEN
turies and over is also true and that
they do not win in their struggles is un-
deniable. But that they have wrung
from Spain concessions which have
much mitigated the rigor of Spanish
rule is equally undeniable. That peo-
pie so largely and SO long in arms and
sentiment opposed to the ruling power
must have some good grounds for COM
plaint is not to be denied. That peo-
pie however low down in the social scale
who manage to keep ruler in hot water
for the period of a hundred years. must
be moved by a spirit akin to patriotism,
and self-sacrifice. it is logical and reas-
enable to hold
On the whole, then, we must conclude
that SO many revolutions, so much sac
rifice, SO much devotion of life and prop
erty to the patriot cause, argues the
right of the people to attempt self gov
ernment. The divine right of kings it
is theirs to controvert, and when in that
controversy they place their property
and their lives upon the altar of sacri-
flee, American sympathy goes out to
them and wishes them success.
1t is certainly true that the kindly
feeling of the people of the United
States for the Cuban revolutionists is
more sentimental than otherwise. We
have not stopped to inquire much into
the justice of the complaint of the revo-
lutionists. In fact, our people have
manifested but little concern about the
merits of the disputes and the revolu-
tions in Cuba. We have out OF senti-
mental desire to see the Cubans set
free from monarchial control, given
them our moral encouragement, and
regardless in broad sense of the facts
in dispute between the contestants. We
wish to see the Cubans win because we
| do-and that is about the fuIlness of it

GOOD FoRmINDIANA.

Two men convicted of tampering with
ballot-box and with buying and SELL
ing votes, one being the purchaser and
the other the vendor, have been SEN
fenced to the State Prison by an In
diana court for ten and tweiy wears re-
spectively, and to be disfranchised and
forever prohibited from voting or hold
ing offices of trust That has the right
ring. The Indiana court has done pre-
cisely the proper thing With not one
whit too much of severity in 1t. The
fellow who corrupts the ballot-box is a
criminal Of the lowest order. He is a
thief in that he steals the liberties of
men. He is a rascal in that he attempts
to gain political advantage by unfair
means. He is a scoundrel in that he
violates his obligations as a citizen. He
who buys a vote is no more an offender
than he who sells. Equally they are
thieves and deserve the punishment
usual for larcenists
