Senator Daniel For Revolution.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem).

What does the senator want to revo-
lutionize? Certainly he does not propose
to lead a crusade single-handed against
Great Britain. The people of that coun-
try are fairly well satisfied with their
lot, and if they have any grievances to
correct, they are abundantly able to con-
duct their own revolutions. on the other
hand, there is no desire on the part of
the majority of Americans for an unheaval
in the United States. However strong the
senator's thirst for blood may be, the
American people as a whole, are salts
fed with "cakes and ale" 1t is true that
they would welcome a revolution in the
Senate whereby that body might be
brought TO a realizing sense of its short
comings.

II is observed that some of the eastern
newspapers which have lately been howl
ing ioudest about trusts and the money
power are at present engaged in an at
tempt TO monopolize the news of the prize
fight which is to take place in Carson on
st. Patrick's day. There was the other
day some lively bidding between two New
York newspapers for the ownership OF
Corbett and Fitzsimmons. for news pur-
poses. until the time of the fight The pa
per which did not bid high enough to Sc
cure these eminent and able mouths con-
soled itself by purchasing the exclusive

A Chicago woman has written to Min
nesota TO ascertain il she can open in that
state a drinking saloon exclusively for
women. She desires to establish in st.
Paul place where ladies may indulge in
the afternoon convivial glass" Her pur-
pose is to bar men out of the place, not
permitting one to so much as poke his nose
an at the door. She will probably not be
permitted to open her society" barroom
for she says she proposes to cater to the
very best element.

Exemption Laws Too Liberal.
From the Florida Citizen Dem.).

For farmers paper to argue that the
exemption laws are too liberal appears
strange, but that is. the purport of a
recent editorial in the Florida Agrcul-
turst The meat OF the argument is
that laws that allow homestead and other
exemptions that are too large "act as a
menace TO capital" and discourage the
investment of money" The Agriculturist
adds: "The result of all this is that the
rate of interest in Florida is higher than
in most other states. The man who has
money to lend charges the extra per cent
for the risk incurred. This percentage.
too, is kept high by the percentage of
losses. The money-lender must strike a
balance, and in order TO do this he COM
pels his good customers to make up his
losses on the bad ones"

The old generation Of Galloway lairds
were a primitive and hospitable race, bat
their convviality sometimes led TO awk-
ward occurrences, says Tit-Blts. In for
mer days when roads were bad, and
wheeled vehicles almost unknown, an old

horseback. on crossing the River Urr at
a ford az point where II joins the sea,
the old lady dropped off but was not
missed until her husband reached his door
when, of course, there was an immediate
search made. The party who were dis
patched in quest OF her arrived Just in
time to find her demonstrating with the
advancing tide, which trickled into her
mouth IN these words: mo anither drap;
neither het nor cauld."

CURRENT COMMENT.
Trust Hunters Desirable.

From the Chicago Times-Herald Qnd).
The Lexow investigation is a good thing.
There ought 10 be Lexow in every state.
Every time the trusts are prodded or
stirred up the people get new glimpses
into the methods by which these unlaw-
full conspiracies against the public veal
are maintained. Such inquisitions under
state auspices reveal new and weighty rea-
sons why the federal government must
ultimately wipe the trusts out of exist
ence.

There is in the story of the downfall of

employers, as well as one for young men
holding positions similar to the one which
was held by Smith. An employer. more

banking or trust institution. should have
some knowledge of the life outside of
business hours of his employees. Sufficient
information can almost Invariably be had
without impertinent inquisitveness into
the employees private affairs. The en-
plcyer knows the resources OF the en-

ployer should at once have an under

radically wrong through the fact that
their employers do not keep a close

man does not object 20 being watched.
Indeed. It pleases him to have his en-
ployer use safeguards, as II strengthens
his determination to resist temptations.

compliments of the tailor. Jerry donned
them and wore them to a Bryan meeting.

At the opening of the opera season in
Chicago Monday night, Mrs. Celia Wallace
wore a gown said to be the most costly
ever made by a dressmaker. A rough es-

was $4,000 The point lace with which
the gown was trimmed cost $4,000. This
extravaganza eclipses that of the Bradley

Hopkins and Hepburn are understood to
be ambitious for the position, and some

would not be possible to GUST Reed and
put one of the three into his place. 1t is
true that there is considerable hard feel
ing towards Speaker Reed in the ranks
of his own party because of his autocratic
procedure lately. But it may be doubted
that any winning combination could be
formed against him. He is the ablest re-

The appropriation for the fast mail
should, as matter of course. be included
in the postodice bill. To cut off the APP
preparation would be to dispense with the
fast mail service, with the result that
the people of the whole Atlantic coast
would be twelve to twenty hours behind
with the greater part of their correspond
ence and newspapers. The opposition to
the appropriation seems to be grounded
in the fear that the railroads will get a
dollar that might just as well be with
held from them. The postoffice authori-
ties declare that they are getting the
worth Of the appropriation out of the
railroads, and the people declare that they
desire their mails transported as quickly
as steam and wheels can do it.

-rou -anouId have the sense at COM
mand when you need it, as you have
your microscope or your telescope, but
better have neither il you are to be
compulsorily doomed at other will than
yours to interrupt the work of life by a
spectacle Of the infinitely little or the
Infinitely remote. Man should always
be master of his senses, especially of
the sixth sense, as it is called"
In her further statements to Mr.. Stead
Julia goes ON to say that the investigator
must always be simple and not to be
constantly thinking Of himself. In
other words, self consciousness must be
avoided, or it will play havoc with the
chances Of success. All ones mental
faculties are needed. Everything must
be examined and tested without preju
dice and without partiality. Nothing
can be achieved without time and pa
tience.
The first thing to be done to see the
invisible ones, Julia says, is to be very
still and to wait. When quite still and
passive, close your eyes and think Of
the one whom you wish to see. If it is
friend still alive in the body, it will
help you if at the same time, although
that is not essential, he or she be also
passive and alone. When you have two
spirits in accord. both seeking the same
thing, the difficulties are less, but you
must be agreed in heart and soul. II
you could keep the concentrated quiet
attention for longer period than five
minutes without becoming tired, then
you had better do 80. At no time, how
ever, force yourself, for strain means
failure.
II in this way, Julia declares, one
succeeds in acquiring success, it is ac-
| Quired forever. There will be no more
| parting between the one who has gained
his object and the spirit world The
greatest danger is that the sixth sense
may control the individual instead of
being in itself controlled. New York

THE POWER OF WHAT WE CALL CLAIR
vOYANcE POSSIBLE FOR ALL.

~Juliar Gives Assurance Through william
r. Stead That Anybody Who Pieases
Can Do the Occult-A Few Of the Sim
} pier Instructions Easily Understood.
William T. Stead. author, journalist,
theosophist and general student OF all
that is odd, now announces that he has
received by the means of automatic
writing from very well known spirit
the information that every living per-
son has what is called the sixth sense.
In other words, we are all mediums,
contrary to the general supposition,
even among the advanced disciples Of
spiritualism.
The message or communication is
given to the world through Editor
Stead, who for the time being is under
the guidance Of this feminine control,
the real author of the statements being
known as Julia. Her messages have
been coming at intervals for five years
and among the students of the occult
are regarded as absolutely true. That is
why Mr.. Stead lays so much importance
upon them. II is for this reason he
holds that the communication between
the inhabitants Of the world and those
who have passed away can be much
more free IL only people will have IL
that way. In the message Julia says:
"What I have to tell you is that all
those who really wish to have the sixth
sense, or whatever you may choose to
term it, 30 developed that they can at
will become sensibly or to their senses
cognizant Of the reality Of the existence
of the beings who encompass them
about can acquire the gift or faculty II
they will but adapt themselves to the
laws Of the region into which they wish
to penetrate. II is a potentiality of tht
universal human race. Nor is 1t only
human. Many animals have the oper
eye. They see when their owners ar<
blind. But you can see il you choose
1t rests with yourselves.
There Is no short cut to the sixth
sense. There may be something like il
IN mesmerism and hypnotism, but thai
is not at all what mean. What is pos
sible is for every child of man to be
come what you call normally clairvoy
ant-that is, for any one to possess
himself of the power Of seeing ant
hearing, as plainly as he sees and hear
material things, the invisible form
and voices that surround him.
''The power is one that ought to b
under control. There will be only harm
done IL you do not shut at will the clair
voyant eye. Imagine the mischief tina
would happen il when life and deaf
hung on the absolute concentration Q
all faculties ON the subject immediatel
before you, IL at the supreme momen
you were TO see the whole phantasms
goria Of borderland pass between 20
and the point of exclusive interest.
you cannot control your sixth sense, 20
had better not acquire it. It is muc
better TO do without IL than TO be col
frolled by IL
