PROF. FoNTANA Is drawing large crowds
at Turner Opera House this week. Ii
his hypnotlsm is really such, he has at
tanned to knowledge of the subject be
yond what psychologists will concede
! He is modest Ian and assumes none of
the airs of the professional caterer to the
curions. He is apparently not as well
/ read IN psychology as he is adept In
| hypnotism, il what he does Is done by
means Of that science,-a term which
now may be applied to it.
The mind reading is wonderful per-
Torrance. Here there seems no possible
easily, so readily ana without apparent
concentration of thought or abstraction
from surrounding things, that one is DIS
inclined to believe the evidence of his
senses. This is 10y far the best of his
work though it does not WIN the applause
that cheaper and less reliable work does.
1t is 50 remarkable as to justify doubts
OF its genuineness.
There is abundant opportunity for col
fusion in his acts with the class, though
it does not seem possible that those I'M
skilled could act so we'll if left to their
own volitIon. In the class work the per
son anxious to observe the workings Of
hypnotic influence loses respect for the
tests because they are designed to amuse
the crowd. The professor who wants to
win popular favor must give "show" or
cash receipts will not be satisfactory.
For this reason tests run to some line of
absurdlty and the fellow in the audience
who applauds by whistling or who thinks
wit is shown by guying, is given an OPP
portunity to display his talent.
Prof. Fontana's work is good. How
much of it Is trick, il any, but few know,
because hynoptlsm as a science is yet in
Its infancy, though sufficiently recognlz-
ed TO be given place IN mental science.
THE Pilot docs not wish TO say anything
which i cannot verify. But it is safe to sa
that Prof. tontana goes far beyond what
hypnotism has done that he must employ
other means than hypnotism. The reading
of figures on coin may be mind reading but
i: is known that il is done by other means.
though the process requires preparation the
labor ofwhich few would be willing to un-
dertake. The show is good one from anv
point of view, but it is only 'sshow'' and
not an exhibition gfthe ''power of mind over
matter" Collision, knowledge ofmechanics. |

THE proceedings at the two rival ban
quets held by the two wings OF the demo
cratic party, clearly indicate that the
division will be permanent and the differ
ences irreconcilable while currency Is 10
issue. The national democrats will now
probably enter politics from local offices
up. This will no doubt tend to material
ly strengthen the organization.
1t is equally evident that both parties
cannot exist. Which ever champions the
principles of democracy will be the eur
vlvor. There never are really but two
parties seeking to administer the affairs
of q nation. At times disafectlon with
the action Of one or the other, or devo-
ton to some issue temporary 10 It's char
acter, may cause the birth of new or
ganization. But the disaffectIon wears
away or the line of policy demanded be-
comes unnecessary or is dropped, and the
parties whose foundation is on funda-
mental principles claim the allegiance OF
all. This will eventually be the case with
the two wings OF the party now 10 hostile
attitude over matter largely admlnIstra-
tive III its nature and involving no prl1-
ciple of government.
The money question will be settled with
in the next few years. 1t is not an issue
having ramifcations and developing
others. In word it is not fundamental
But 1t is one of such importance that
Welding without conviction shonld be
impossible and be deemed traitorous
There is nothing to which man owes
more than to his own Coincidence.
The section of the party which will be
NEST steadfast in support of democratic
principles Will be the democratic party
No man can say this one or that is the
genuine. The principles espoused fix
that. Some no doubt vii! cling to the
army OF the olsaffected which assumes
the name OF party but without author
lty from the science of government.
Tolerance under the circumstances, is
advisable. There is no pleading for this
from fear of the conflict, but in behalf OF
democratic principles, which may suffer
from elimination and recrimination.
There is one fact that every one should
recognize and that is, no man or set
of men own the democratic party or can
change its character. 1t Is the out
growth Of convictions on the duty and
purposes of government and is under
the control of no man.

BOYS STRUGGLE EOR LIFE.
Falls into a Mill Flume and barely Escapes
Being Ground to Pieces in the Wheel

Jesse Gray, young man, fell through
hole in the floor at the Park mills at
Marinette, Wis, the other afternoon
He fell into the fume and for ten min
utes SWAN against a strong current to
prevent his going into the water wheel,
where he would have been ground to
death. His cries were heard by the men
above, who thinking he had been caught
In the pully shut down the gates to stop
the flow of water. This was the worst
thing that could have been done, be-
cause the water lowered and n strong
current toward the water wheel set in.
Had he not been a strong swimmer he
would have been carried to his death in
twinkling. The men finally threw
piece of an old belt to him and he was
srawn from his reriious position in al
almost unconscious state

The honor paid Jackson's memory
shows to what extent the man may be
mace representative of a principle Of
government which the people approve
even though undeserved, If he has
shown tirmness IN the discharge of
duty and infiexibility of purpose in every
undert aking. The strong features oil
jackson's character stand out In bold re-
lief as people now perceive HIM. The
will power with which he was gifted was
as often exercised in wrong as in right
direction. He was implacable and IN
reasonable when aroused. He knew no
such word as compromise and to carry
out his purpose at any cost was the force
ful nature of his craftsmanship. He
was magnificent leader IN revolution
but an unsafe guide when his temper
was aroused. His fight against the Unit
ed States bank had as its animus the
very thing he charged against the bank
as reason for its destruction.
But no matter what his course, he has
become the ideal Of certain principles OF
government 10 which allegiance is due.
jackson as he was, trucnlent unbending,
merciless and ignorant, though kindly,
honest and patriotic is far different man
from the exemplar he is regarded in
modern times. As the people view him
he is a man deserving the highest honor.

two bridges have been built and replaced

in 1872 aud that the SWING is IN fairly
good condition to day, In spite Of having
been sadly neglected though being paint
ed about one quarter as often as it should
have been, shows how we'll and strongly
this apparently light structure was put
together.
Bridge engineers connected with blidge
builders, will naturally claim that the
saving cannot be lghtened, but an indie
pendent expert might decide otherwise.
The saving could not be made use of for
another bridge anywhere without an ad-
ditional outlay of from ten to twenty
thousand dollars, according TO place To-
Gated.
A few citizens may be for new bridge
whether this one can be made To do or
not; but the great majority of tax payers
are surely III favor OF economizing on
this work and using the money saved for
some of the many improvements taat a
growing city cannot avoid making ard
should have.
1t has been claimed that the presen,
annual repairs on the old bridge were so
great that it would pay TO build a new
one for that reason. Let rs see. A new
bridge will cost not less than $4,000:
this at per cent. interest amounts to
81 ,5O0-ftteen hundred dolIars-annual-
ly. Then, too, new bridge needs some
repairs also. Let's make the old one do
until We can better afford TO discard it.
