ACCORDING to Congressman Lacy, of Iowa, aman who does not vote the Republican ticket is entitled to no rights whatever in this country. He is opposed to the free homes bill because some of those who obtained free homes do not vote the Republi- can ticket. The following is an ex- cerpt from speech he made in the House few days ago:
 "We gave free homes to the farm CTS in Guthrie county, Oklahoma, and how did they show their grati- tude to the Republican party? Fly cry last one of them voted against Dennis Flynn. Under the circum- stances don't see why Republican congress should cnthuse over the question of free homes for Western farmers.
 This shows that Congressman Lacy is very narrow and bigoted partisan.

Al ready enough frauds haya been disclosed in the pension depart ment to show that the penslon system is rotten to the core.

Hypnotism.

Hypnotism is all applied science and is but another name for mes merism. Mesmerism is a system popularized by Franz Anton Mes mer, Swiss physician, from 1733 to 1915. By Mesmer the science was called animal magnetism. He discovered that the stars exercised an influence over men, and readily identified this with magnetism and sought to effect cures by stroking his patients with magnets. He if nally persuaded himself that he pos sessed some mysterious force by which cures could be effected and abandoned the magnet. Mesmer de- lighted himself in cratic conduct and surroundings and affected a strange and fantastic dress. The French government offered him 20, 900 francs for his secret, but he declined the offer. Subsequently one of his disciples showed that sleep might be induced by gentle manipu- lation alone, thus removing the sub- ject from the sphere of mystery to where it might become the subject of scientific investigation. In 1843, Dr. Baird, a surgeon of Manchester, England, investigated the subject and called it hypnotism, and within the last few years it has been scien- tifically investigated by number of eminent scientis A hypnotic state is usually induced by the pa tient gazing fxedly at some bright object, or by passes made by the op- orator. It is laid down as a scien- tific principle in the encyclopedias that in the hypnotic state the pa- tient can be reduced to such muscu- lar rigidity as to admit of the body resting supported only by the head and heels on two chairs. Insensi- bility to pain is another condition that can be produced and is fre- quently praeticed in the hospitals for the purpose of performing some operation. And in an hypnotic state perverted sensation can be created such as to cause the patient to imagine that water is a delicious wine or nauseous medicine, at the will of the operator.
 Therefore, when Santanelli was causing persons (mostly young men who have not reached maturity) to do alllkinds of curious acts and inn agine all sorts of foolish things in an hypnotic state, he was only illes- trating to a Pine Bluff audience a number of known and well-estab. lished scientific principles.
 No, San tanelll is no fake; hypno- tism is an applied science, and, as he publicly stated, can be learned in few hours.

One Successful Exposition.

The final settling up of accounts for the Tennessee Centennial exposition at Nashville shows a gratifying result. The enterprise paid for itself and consider ably moro.
 It was tho most enthusiastically local exposition on large scale that the older parts of the country have wit messed. Tennessee is as rich in local his- tory and coloring and in the marked traits of it's people as in mineral and agricultural resources, and that is say ing much. This made the show at Nash vile as unique ns a great exposition can be.
 Nashville had designs that went fur ther than the preparation of a tempora- " park for tho buildings of the fair. Beautiful as the capital of Tennessee is, it has no central public park It has long been the desire of tho citizens to secure such park. Their civic pride was appealed to when tho city got the fair. Each subscribed according to his means. The police of Nashville taxed themselves $10 apiece for the fair. So did many other persons of comparative ly small means The ladies who had charge of the woman's building would not accept free passes, but paid their way every time they visited the fair.
 When the show was over, there was a comfortable surplus left. Patriotic Nashvillians, however, refused to take their money back, but donated it to the city park. Where the art building stands will be the nucleus of Nashville's city park. Tine art building is not tempo rary structure It will hold permanent ly the works contributed to it, and it will be tho pride of Tennesseeans The ground around it, already laid out in decorative landscape and planted with

moral character of tho universe, has re oeived 6 cents damages in a suit nc brought against a man for defama'ion of character. This verdict, while show ina in a way what Comstock's fellow citizens think of him in his own town of New York. is rather ambiguous. It may mean either that Gomstoek's moral character is so high and immaculate that it cannot be damaged more than D cents worth, or it may mean exactly the opposite--that it is so bad aiready it is only worth cents.

Hawaiian Annexation.

Tho editor of The Review of Reviews presents several strong reasons why Hawaii should bo annexed to tho Unit cd States without delay. The people of the islands themselves want very much to come to us for one thing. Tor another we ought to have naval and eoaling station in the Pacific. Perhaps the strongest reason of all is, however, that unless wo annex Hawaii the new repub- lie of the Pacific may be offered bodily to England. England would not leave it to go begging while carping, fussy Miss Nancy critics split hairs over the question whether she had any right un- der tho constitution to accept Hawaii and what she would do with it if she got 1t. Hawaii comes to us exactly as Texas did, and we did not hesitate about receiving Texas. European na- tions would not object to our annexing Hawaii because we arc so peaeeably in- olined that they are all we'll disposed to us, says pr. Shaw.
 Another point, extremely important, to be considered is summed by Tho Re- view as follows:
 American control of Hawaii is in some sense a duty that this country owes to Japan and China. Those ancient oriental states arc seri- ously menaccd by tho aggressive attitude of the land grabbing European powers, and ii England or Germany should obtain Hawaii the sort of peaceful development of the oriental nations which is most to be desired by us would bo further endangered. Again, from the political and strategic point of view, the position of Hawaii ought to be regarded by us as closely related to other policies over. whelmingly favored by tho people of the United States We refer to the American control of the Nicaragua canal and to the acquisition of one or more satisfactory naval stations in the Vest Indies.

Great Britain refused to agree to our proposed international treaty prohibit ing either American or British subjects from hunting seals in the open sea at present. In return for this the sealing bill passed by our congress, signed by President Mckinley and now q law will exactly hit Great Britain for her ehurl- ish refusal to help us protect the seals. It prohibits tho importation into this country of Boring sea sealslzins. The greatest market for these skins is the United States, where people have more money than in most countries. Canadi- ans were in the habit of slaughtering wholesale our seals, sending the skins to London and having them dressed and dyed aud then selling them to us for the oloaks of American ladies. Now, no matter how many seals they catch, Canadians cannot sell the skins to us Their best market is cut off, and it serves them right.
