not find IL in my heart to criticise
either Governor Mount or President Nc
Kiniey for listening to that element of
their party which is most powerful and to
whom they owe their election. My only
excuse for using their names at all was
to call attention to the uselessness of elect
ing a good man to carry out the will of
a wrong party. The Prohibition party
stands for the enforcement of the State in
every way from completely with any known
evil, and will not waste its time criticising
officials who simply carry out the will of
their electors. This is the best and worst
any one could say of either Governor
Mount or President Mckinley in their
yielding to those who are controlled by the
legalized liquor traffic. No one can believe
that such yielding is pleasant to them. 1t
is simply paying political debts and secur-
ing continued assistance.

The advocacy, or rather, the practice of
mesmerism, clairvoyance and hypnotism,
which psychologists are now studying in
the hope Of finding some scientific ex-
PLANTATION for them, has been confined to
a class of persons who do not and should
not commend themselves to sensible
people. OF late, however, Professor
Quackenboss. of Columbia College. in New
York. has been lecturing upon hypnotism.
In one of his recent lectures he tried to
make it clear that moral diseases. as he
calls them, can be cured by hypnotism.
The Brooklyn Eagle says, that while Pro-
fessor Quackenboss is regarded as a good
listened to by large and intelligent audi
ences. The point which the professor
makes is that what theologians used to
call original sin," and what scientists talk
about as inherited tendencies towards evil
can be overcome by the power Of hypnotic
suggestion. In a recent lecture Professor
Quackenboss gave a description of the
treatment of various subjects in that way
by physician of his acquaintance. Among
them a thief who cured of his
desire to steal by being told, when under
hypnotic influence. that he would not steal
and by having his good resolutions forti-
fed. This does not seem very definite.
II Is claimed that Frenchman has re-
formed hundreds Of boys committed to his
reform school by trusting them and learn
ing them self-respect. 1t is probable that
terrifying the good resolutions OF boys is
the real remedy. and that it is effective In
many institutions, like reform schools
and reformatories supported by states
Doubtless men who have a dominating
personality and the thing that is called
magnetism can plant and cultivate good
traits in boys of weak purpose IL they are
under their care for some time.
II will. however. be some time before
people will view hypnotism other than with
suspicion. II and its kindred mysteries
have been used for gain by few men
In a manner to lead people to regard hyp-
notism as an evil. in that 1t seems to give
one person control oyer others. Already

to the act by persons having power over
them. So far as experience goes the con-
troll OF the professor in hypnotism exerts
no good influence over his subjects. De-
spite what those who practice it may say
about 1t. the persons who are treated as
subjects in public exhibitions by hypnotists
are of weak or defective inteilects. In time.
hypnotism. as the Columbia professor de-
clares, may become valuable supplement
to Christianity in training weak wills in
the young. but those who practice these
mysteries seem to have purpose be-
yond giving exhibitions of their power.
and will do more harm than good. Until
more is known about it, it will be wise to
let hypnotism alone, unless the expert
ments are made by physicians of character
and experience. So far as the application
has come to public knowledge, most per-
sons who have confessed to being under
hypnotic control have made those con-
LESSONS as persons charged with violations
of law.

One of the best things that could be done
In Kentucky at present is to wait. In the
existing state of the public feeling in that
commonwealth, it is contrary to nature
that anything could be done that would
rot soon be regretted. If anything really
wise and worthy the support and indorse-
ment of people in their sober senses should
chance to be done there now il would be
safe to set it down as a miracle. Feeling
should not prompt the act of statesman.
On the contrary, judgment should always
have him in subsection. Likewise the peo-
pie, who form the one big, acting, effective
statesman in all crises. must not be carried
away on a tide Of feeling at time when
acting is necessary, and surely such time
has come in Kentucky. Men in the state
of mind that appears to prevail there at
present are prone to do things that would
make them ashamed of themselves within
a few days at most. A few days hating,
a brief breathing spell, and the people Of
Kentucky will see themselves as others
see them, and will be in a state of mind
rendering them capable of being reasoned
with. 1t is a crisis in which the least that
is said will be soonest and most effectively
mended. Wait, cunnels, wait,

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
I note in yesterdays Journal letter
from DR.. Kemper, of Muncie. regarding
vaccination. i desire to say for the benefit
of your readers that the figures he gives
for France and Prussia are without founda-
ton In fact. At no time within the range
of reliable statistics has there been a gen.
eral, continuous death rate from smallpox
approximating anywhere near the figures
he gives. The greatest smallpox epidemic
the world ever saw passed over these two
countries in 1S70-1. and in the epidemic
Prussia, the best vaccinated country IN Eu-
rope, suffered most severely. The truth in
the matter IS that where vaccination is dis
carded entirely, not only smallpox de-
creases. but all other diseases OF the same
nature decrease. Since Switzerland has
voted vaccination out, this fact Is brought
very clearly into view. Nowhere. at any
time, has Vaccination either prevented
mitigated smallpox. Isolation and SANTA
ton. everywhere and at all times. have
headed Off the disease. and the doctors have
been vociferous In their claim that ''vacci-

A letter is again published written by the
Mr. Trimble. in August, 1888, which clearly
sets forth the purpose of the Goebel cleo

been selected as one of the election COM
missioners. AS the man selected had polit-
ical aspirations, Mr.. Trimble wrote him
urging him not to accept the position, CIV
ing the following reasons:
No better man could have been apopint-

you should not accept. Our county is all
right, safely Democratic, but city elections
cannot be won by a fair count, and you
know that as well as / do. Incompetent.
unreliable Republican judges will have to

conscientiously do so, and / know you
would not. Therefore, my advice to you is
to refuse to act. 1 had a talk with Judge
Pryor on the subject, and he said If you
would refuse to act he would appoint any
one that we might name. which would be
Ben Marshall You know Ben is so par
tisan that he thinks anything is all right
so that it helps the Democrats.
That is, if there should be fair count in
city elections the Democrats would be
beaten and the Democratic commissioner
who would appoint honest election officers
would make himself unpopular with his
party and thus defeat the purpose of the
Goebel law, which is, as the Courier-Jour-
nal said two years ago. to count in Demo-
Gratis and count out Republicans.
