HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE.
Interestingly, Discussed by the Rev.
 George B. Cutton.

| Interestingly, Discussed by the Rev. George B. Cutton.
 Milford, May 22.-Hyptotism was interestingly discussed by the Rev.
 George B. Cutten. pastor of the
 Howard Avenue Baptist church, New Haven, last evening, at the parlors of the South Baptist church. He is re- cognized as an authority on the subject
 and has performed many interesting experiments, among them being that of curing drunkards through the use of
 the power. In this he has been success full in many instances. AS he eX- plained 1t last evening if a person de- sres to reform the treatment is suc- cessful If they do not they manage to continue the habit,
 Hypnotism, he said, was fully $500 years old The belief that its power passed from the opera tor to the sub ject is erroneous, the hypnotic state be- ing a form of abnormal sleep, in which the subject Is keenly alive to suggestions, accepting them as correct without question, and acquiring a con trol over nis own body which he could not have in his waking moments. The person hypnotized simply gained control over llls own body through sue gestions made by an outsider.
 In speaking of his treatment of drunkards MT. Cutten said that his sys- tenn consisted merely in hypnotizing the subject, with his consent, and tell ing him over and over that he would not care for liquor and that it would make him sick if he. drank it. One man went to Waterbury from New Ha- ven after being hypnotized in this man. ner, a condition of things which, said MT. Cutten, made drinking seem justi- fable, and without knowing of the sug- gestions which had been made to him, drank a glass of beer. It made him so three days. When he recovered he took took another and was again made ill. He persevered. however, and finally managed to acquire the habit again.
 Hypnotism is a valuable agent in chronic diseases. MT. Cutten said and he considered that nearly every form of healing was founded on sug- gestion. The success of physician, even, depended largely on the amount of confidence he was able to inspire in his patient. The indiscriminate use of hypnotism for fun was strongly op- posed by the speaker, who said the power was one which should be used with care and only by persons of in- tegrity.

board, and should give vent to his or her objections, it might be most painful to all and break up the concord that had previously reigned. Too much salt in the broth has parted friends before now; think of Bedreddin and the tarts without pepper and other mournful in- stances of like sort Then there Is the question of onions, fertile theme for discussion. However, it is to be hoped that the original fiften of the Parkside Cooperative Housekeeping Association have the same tastes. In such com bination any possible trouble would start with the men; the women would think of the servant question and swal- low all objections, Springfield Republi- can.

 It Is admitted by the counsel LOT the defendant iu the court martial proceeu- ings against General smith that Slhitn did order Major Waller tu XIII ana Durn and make Samar bowling wilderness, suecifying that all male natives over tne age of 10 should be slaushtered. rms au. mission comes nearer prov ing the chaI ses of cruelty and inhumanity made against our soldiers in the Philippines than any thing that had before appeared. It was understood that in war with savage and treacherous people harsher measures are necessary than would be pefmlSsi oie in a conflict between two clVlhzed coun- tries but the American pubic was haru- lv prepafpd for this shocking disclosure.
 It is true that the conditions ana err ctmstatices with which General Smith ana his men were surrounded were of an eX- tremeIy trying character The natives were massacreing and committing all kinds of atrocities upon the Amerlcahs and extreme measures were ueemeu Hec- essary in order to cope with them sue eessfully. The theory apparently was that the more terrible war could be maue Tor the insurgents the quicker they would 1t is a ghastly theory and one upon which it is hoped American soldiers will never again be called to proceed. The eX- lecncies of war must indeed be great when it becomes necessary to slaughter children and convert the enemy ana into a bowling wilderness
 What view the court martial may take of this sort of warfare can only be con jectured, but the civilized people of the United States can contemplate such pro- ceedngs only with feelings of horror

BACKING CATTLE BARoNs.
Beef Trust Takes Step Likely to
 Arouse Public Indignation.

Washington Special to Times-Democrat
 In the face of the storm of public in- dignation that has been raised by its eX- actions, the beef trust is attempting to strengthen it's monopoly by influencing legislation now pending in Congress.
 It is certain the beef trust is backing the cattle barons in an effort to obtain from Congress law providing for the leasing of the public lands in the west ern States This bill proposes that live stock men and spectators shall have the privilege of leasing all of the public graz ing lands for the nominal sum of cents an acre fol. period of ten wears, with
 Colonel John P Irish of San Francisco. who draws a salary as naval officer at that port, has been in Washington sey- eral weeks lobbying for the bill. dele gation of range men from Nebraska ar- rived in this city today to urge it's pas : sage.
 Senator Paris Gibson of Montana, said today:
 "The big ranch and cattle interests get the support of the packing house indus try, morally, financially and politically. and no State government, as now consti- tuted in the West. can stand before the pressure which can and is brought to bear In favor of the big land monopo.ies. The State governments at the indication of the live stock interests now use their power to the utmost to put the public lands into big holdings for the benefit of tne IaVOreU TeW. 1ne CeSSiOn or tne r eu- eral lands to the State or the leasing of those lands in the big cattle interests would result in Montana. at least. in half dozen men controlling the whole State.
 There is no time to be lost in defeat ing this scheme. The men behind the cattlemen have great political power and unlimited financial resources and the packing house industry will lend them monev and encouragemert to the limit The public domain should be dedicated to the farmers, and the farmers only. They are the people who reclaimed the West. and who build cities and create perml- nent wealth. Near my town of Great Falls one man has 250 miles of fence. in closing thousands of acres of the finest farming land in the State-land to which oiir city has looked in the past as one of the great resources of aid in its future growth
 This Is but one instance. Mile after mile of the best land in the public land States has been secured bv speculators and live stock men. through the aud ulent use of the land laws to the serious detritnent of the country as q whole. The people of the United States arc being robbed of their property, and the home seekers are cheaLed out of the chance of getting start in life such as was taken advantage of by the pioneers of earlier days" 4-

That Third Party.
NeM Redford Mercnry.

New Bedford Mercury.
 The Montgomery. Ala, Advertiser thinks that the new Allied Party may hold the balance of power in 1904. Prob ably half the people of this country never heard of the Allied Party, and more than half of the other half have only the vagaest idea that such an organization is in existence. The Allied Party Is the succession of the extreme Popunsts with some sprinkling of extremista gathered from among other side parties. It's strength. if it has strength. is apparent Iy in the Middle Western belt of States. where such movements as those ot the Grangers the Farmers Alliance, the Grenback agitation, the silver craze. and other like manifestations have most flour lshed. Up to this time most obserN CTS have not credited 1t with being move mcnt of such importance, and most of the political prophets are inclined to g- n0re its existence Stll. there is almost always in this country sort of potential ity for such d party, and If ans' approach to q financial crisis causing depressi pn of business and hard times should appear the Allied Party may haNe q chance to repeat the career If tie pnpulists The chance s. however, are rather against any such outcome.

IT Is NOT A FACT.

The Charleston News and Courier has somehow or other taken what we con- slider an erroneous estimate of the Re- publican Party when it declares that most of the voters of the country are in it and approve its policies and doings." We by no means admit the correctness of this view. It is true that Mckinley received a ma jority of the popular vote in both his campaigns, but it was not because a majority of the voters were Republicans. In 1892. when the Demo- cratic Party nominated a sound and able Democrat on a Democratic platform. he was elected by a plurality of nearly 600 over Mir Harrison, but four years later Mir McKinley's plurality was 500 nO0. cause was that those who controlled the Party at Chicago in 1896 discredted De- mocracy and put before the country a candidate and a platform which drove Democrats temporarily into the ranks of the opposition. The Republican vote in- creased nearly forty per cent in four years, while the Democratic vote in- creased fraction less than twenty per cent.
 It is a libel to say that these seven millions and more of voters who support ed Mir Mckinley In 1896 and 19o0 were all Republicans, for the statement is not true Many of them were Democrats who were willing to violate or stiie all | their other Democratic principles rather than be instrumental In fastening on the country a dangerous and wholly indefen- sible financial system. Whether these | Democrats should have supported the Re publican ticket or remained at home. is a question not worth arguing now. The fact remains that some hundreds of thousands of Democrats refused to fol- low Bryan. but it is not true that they l were Republicans. And we do not be- lieve that majority of the voters of | the country are Republicans or that they believe in Republican policies.

wHAr rurx DIM.

The Advertiser has more than once stated that the reason Republicans op- pose a reduction of the tarfff on any one import Is that they want no break in the schedule, and The Leavenworth Times thus sustains the views we have expressed:
 There IS a fear. however. on the part of a large number of Republicans, embrhc- ing most of the leaders of the House, that any attempt to revise the tartif would provoke a perfect flood of amend ments and precipitate the tariff discus sion which the business interests are de- termined to avoid. If the tarin on meat products could be abolished without any possibility of reducing the custom rates on many other articles. there Is little question that sonnet thing like the McDer- mott resolution could readily be passed through the House.
 There's the rub. If one stone is re- moved from the tarff wall they fear that the entire structure will come tumblfng about their ears. Many of the best in- formed Republicans freely admit that some at least, of the duties might be materially reduced, but all of them fear
 
 as an example, because 1t is now prom inent in all discussions of tariffs and trusts, and leok at this schedule under the present tariff law: The duties are cents per pound on bacon and hams, two cents per pound on fresh meats. D per cent ad valorem on preserved meats, cents per pound on live poultry, and cents per pound on dressed poultry. There is -also specific duty of s3.7o on Mexican cattle worth not over s14 head, and of 2Tts per cent on ahose worth more.
 Under ordinary circumstances. these rates would be practically prohibitive' though at present prices a profit might be made by importing some or all of the artices. Be that as it may, the removal of these duties entirely would cause such a rush of importation that the combine. if there Is really one, would fall to prices and the price of all kinds of meat would necessarily get down to a reasonable fig ure. No doubt there are enough conser- vative and fair-fninded Republicans in Congress to enact law removing these duties were it not for the fear of which we have spoken. It may be that public sentiment and the exactions of the trusts will force the repeal of this much of the tafiif anyhow. but if it Is done. 1t will be very much against the will of ma jority of the dominant party. It must be forced on them, if they act at all.
