AN IRON CONSTITUTION.
Monroe Journal.

The iron constitution which many men
have can stand anything. The Marion
News tells of a case III which a man on
the mountain was bitten twice by most
venomous snake. He drank a pint OF
whiskey, half a pint of spirits of turpen-
tine, and quart of blackberry wine,
and ate two and quarter plugs of RED
Elephant" tobacco and within twenty
four hours he was able to sit up. though
his life had at first been despaired OF.
If that man would turn over new leaf
and take as good care of himself as Pope
Leo did of his health. he would live five
hundred years.

IT L0ORS QUEER.

All the rural delivery carriers in Union
county are Republicans. The Monroe
Journal thinks it very strange that under
civil service regulations only Republican
politicians should be appointed. What
makes it all the more remarkable is the
fact that there are 1879 Democrats in
Union and only CSC Republicans. And
what adds to the strangeness OF the af-
fair is the fact that ninety-nine one
hundredths of the intelligence in Union
county is in the Democratic party.
Mr.. Roosevelt was the most strenuous
talker in America for civil service before
he became President. Under his admin
istration more has been done TO bring
the law into contempt than at any time
since Wanamaker violated it to fill W
the mail service with Republicans. And
at that time Roosevelt, who was civil
service commissioner, stood by consenting
to Wanamaker's wholesale violation o
the law.
As a talker Roosevelt is bowling sue
cess; as doer, he is lamentable failure

Tobacco PuffS.

If the farmers will hold their tobacco,
the prices must increase. If they will hold
their tobacco, they may be sure that from
no won they will be paid for their product
only enough to induce them to produce
it. The fight has been between rival con-
Germs That is passed The concerns have
consolidated and are one in the effort to
reduce prices. The fight is now between
the Trust and the Farmers. We believe
the farmers will win. We regard
present prices as arbitrary. We regard
them as part of plan to get as much as
possible out of men in bonds. 1t will catch
the debtors. Men with credit or capital
will hold until prices rise. We are reluct-
ant to say anything to stir discomfort and
bad feeling; but in this instance, we lay
the blame at the door of the American
Tobacco Company, not the farmers, who
for their half years labor have been offer
ed a starvation price. while the trust rev
els in millions of dollars of profit. This
sort of business may succeed for time,
but its end is sure. Men will not stand
idle while other men fix prices upon their
labor to suit themselves. There is no tyr
rany forse than this; and we all know
the cure for tyrrany./ The present atti-

PASSING OF HYPNoTIsM.

American Medicine.-We recently
spoke of the evils of popular hyp
notism and of the dangers arising
from its use by the ignorant; since
then the warning has been emphasized
by others, and now German scientists
are extending it to the heretofore
seriously entertained therapeutic an
plications. From Berlin comes the
report that the commission of experts
in mental diseases appointed by the
ministry of education to investigate
the healing value of hypnotism pro.
nounces it essentially worthless. The
commission was composed of Profes-
sor Mendel and Drs. Geek, Munter
and Aschenborn, who were appointed
during the faith healing excitement
there year ago. The report declares
hypnotism cannot produce organic
changes, nor cure epilepsy or hysteria,
but it can be used helpfully in some
instances by removing symptoms
through suggestion. In Cleveland a
plea was recently made in the defense
of a criminal, later convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree, that he had
been hypnotized and thus melted to
the crime. The court told the jury
that this testimony could be accepted
for what it was worth" and recon-
mendation for mercy by tue jury fol.
lowed, resulting in a sentence of life
imprisonment. If hypnotic influence
is powerful enough 10 compel the COM
mission of crime, it is plain that it
destroys the accountability of the hyp-
Noticed tool.
