GHOSTS AND SURGERY.

Two interesting cases in which surgery
was successful in laying ghosts and
exercising spirits have been recently re-
ported. The first is that of a man in
Australia, who for two years had been
terrorized daily by the sight of ghosts.
Spectres. spooks, and COLLINS damned
were constantly before his eyes. and so
convinced was he that he was haunted
that he became deeply melancholy, and
threatened to commit suicide. Finally,
ne was persuaded to consult physician,
who discovered that he was suffering
from cataract; and, upon this being re-
moved the ghosts disappeared. and tho
man quickly regained his usual health.
The second case is that of a Berlin
shopkeeper. whose place of business be-
came. to all appearances. the meeting
place of the names Of his deceased Gus
toners. The shopkeeper. however, being
of an investigating turn Of mind and
realizing that he must be suffering from
some sensory hallucination. gave careful
study to his subjective impressions, and
made intelligent notes of them. He also
finally consulted a physician, and an ex
animation Of his eyes and an operation
thereon resulted in the disappearance of
the apparitions. AS these cases are said
to be well authenticated, it is argued
THAI many persons who have been driven
to insanity by the belief that they were
haunted, were merely, in the beginning,
the victims of defect in vision.

the whole. we are OF the opinion that, II
the sca-island planters insist upon having
protection, they will get II. whether they
have the aid OF many OF their own con-
gressmen or not.
we can we'll understand the embarrass-
ing position of these planters. Doubt
less. they would much prefer that the
tariff should not be protective tariff;
but then they ask themselves. II there
Is TO be a protective tariff, why should
not they get some Of the benefits from It?
Heretofore they have seen grinding pro-
tective tariffs fastened upon the coun-
try, the result OF which was to tax them
FOR the benefit Of other sections of the
Union Now they wish TO figure In the
tariff bill, not only as taxpayers, but
as distributes OF some Of the tariff-tax.
What most sharply accentuates the
position of these gentlemen is that they
are cotton planters. For cotton
pianter-a name supposed to be synony-
nous with free trader--to be seeking
refuge under protective tariff Is what
excites great attention in the North. Ii
seems to be sweet morsel for the pro-
tectionists.
We Virglnians are by no means in
favor Of protective tariff; but, while
Congress has been dispensing its gratui-
ties. we have not been averse TO asking
reasonable duties upon articles in which
we arc interested. While the favors
were going. we wished a moderate share
OF them. SO it has been with people
Of other States, like situated. So ii is
with the sea-island planters. The
Egyptian cotton that comes into this coun-
try amounts in value. we suppose. to not
more than one or two millions of dollars
worth per annum: but the shrewd mill
owners of New England know how 20
make use OF this importation to force
down the price of sea-isand cotton. and
then to buy and mix the two cottons.
This matter Will doubtless, attract
more attention than it deserves. As we
have said, these planters are only doing
what the people of all other anti-pro-
lection States have done; but the fact
that they are "cotton-planters seeking
protection" will be used against them for
all that it is worth---and a good deal
more

THE SEA ISLANDERS.

The only cotton imported into this
country IS that from Egypt, which Is
distinguished for its long fibre This Is
used. we believe, in the production OF
spool-thread, etc. and comes into compe-
tition with the sea-island cotton OF South
Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
And 10 such an extent has this COM
petition gone. the sea-island planters ma
that their product no longer commands
the price that II should. In this dilem-
ma these gentlemen are turning to Con-
eress for relief. Recently they held a
convention. and resolved, first, TO cut
down their acreage. If possible. and, Sc
cond to appeal TO Congress 10 place
duty upon imported cotton.
From the publications on the subject
that we have seen, we are led 10 suspect
that the planters do not feel able to com
nand the cooperation necessary TO en-
sure the reduced acreage. II is evident,
We think, that they rely chiefly upon
congressional aid

The Atlanta Constitution has been In

grossmen as to the policy they think
should prevail with reference TO tariii
legislation. etc And one and all OF THESE
favor throwing the responsibility upon
the Republicans, and letting them 90

This. we think, is the right course.
The people of this country largely moved
thereto by Hanna's campaign fund),
have announced their faith In Hanna,

standard. 1t was their right to say
what they wanted, and they have
chosen-not wisely, but decisively. Now
let them have what they voted TO have.
OF course. the Democrats In both
houses will reserve TO themselves the
right to criticise the bills offered, ana
10 vote against them: but they should not
waste any time in dilatory motions and
long-winded speeches. There is no fear
of this in the House; but we IND the
people have a morbid dread lest senator's
should protract the discussion week III
and week out, to the great confusion oil
the public mind. and to the great detri-
ment of business.
A very level-headed old friend Of ours
says: We've got to take their medicine
and let's do il quickly. and be done with
it," This. we think, expresses the gene
raj idea of Democrats; and we hope it IS
view which will prevail in the Senate.
II so, we may count upon the extra ses-
sion of Congress being a short one.
Speaker Reed is absolute master Of the
Republican members OF Congress, and it
is understood 10 be his purpose not to
allow any other than tariff legislation at
the extra session. Arbitrary and obstinate
as he is, if this determination of mis-
should have the effect Of forcing the
tariff bill through quickly the business
world will applaud him. What the peo-
pie crave to see is some vitality in BUSH
ness; an end Of the dry-rot, and a sight
of those good times which we have long
been vainly looking for.
Let 'em make short work Of the tariff.
To this end, let every Democrat in Con-
eress lend his aid Whether we are TO
have a very high or only moderately
high tariff, it is better for us to know
the fact as soon as possible. Then we
may hope to adjust ourselves to circum-
stances; then we may hope TO go ahead
with business. OF agitation we have
had plenty; now let us have rest.

TuIE NENI ELECTION.

At the election to be held in this city
on the fourth Thursday IN May the only
officer to be elected is City Treasurer
And, so far as we are informed only
one person Ghe incumbenD has an
nounced himself as a candidate. But at
the election aforesaid our voters will
have the privilege Of saying whether they
are "for" or against" the calling of a
convention to revise and amend the
State Constitution. In the event that
the affirmative votes in the State out
number the negative. the next Legisla-
ture (Which assemblies in December) must
provide for the election of members Of
the constitutional convention. If, how
ever. the negative side prevails, it is
quite probable that at the meeting Of
the State Democratic Convention, to be
held few months later, some express
sion of opinion will be made as to what
the Legislature should do in furtherance
Of the popular demand for changes in
our Constitution.

FROM FRyING-PAN INTO FIRE.

The Roanoke Evening World, which Is
a warm advocate of calling a constitu-
tional convention, asks:
what is the use to keep hammering at
the matter year after year when we have
an opportunity TO settle it in the most
satisfactory manner possible? Does not
the Dispatch realize that an adverse
vote on the proposition will be inter-
preted to mean that the people are OPP
posed 10 constitutional changesT
These questions are inspired, it seems,
by the following from the Dispatch, which
the World quotes:
1--WE cannot believe that the subject VIII
be dropped until the State Constitution
has been amended in several respects IL
we do not avail ourselves Of the privilege
of ordering a convention on the 18th or
May. it would rest with the Legislature
TO order another vote Of the people, or TO
proceed itself TO amend the constitution
by legislative process
In answer to the Worlds first question,
we would say that if the Dispatch were
convinced that the present afforded an
opportunity for settling the matter in
the most satisfactory manner, it would
on calling a convention 1t is because the
Dispatch thinks it exceedingly doubtful
whether under present conditions con-
vention could be assembled that it would
be safe to trust with revising the organic
law that it feels constrained to differ
with the World The question of settling
the matter in the most satisfactory man
ner is the rock on which we and our
Roanoke contemporary split. In other re-
spects we are not far apart.
AS to the Worlds second proposition,
considering the failure Of the State Demo-
cratic Convention at Stanton to make
decided deliverance on the subject, and
the existing political conditions i'm the
State growing out of the last presiden-
tial election. we do lot see that an adj
verse vote on the question Of calling a
convention could by any means be fairly
construed as showing that the people are
opposed to constitutional changes. AS
matter Of fact, we believe that the vast
majority Of the white people Of the State
are in favor Of constitutional changes.
The more logical and reasonable in
ference from an adverse vote would,
therefore. be merely that the people fear
ed that TO call a convention at this time
would be to defeat the constitutional
changes most to be desired. and involve
the risk of jumping from the fryingpan
into the fire.
