Hypustism For RhesmatIsw.

CHICAGO- March l1.-If Otto w. Grpenberg. a sophomore medical stu dent at the University of Chicago. is not able to effect a permanent cure of rheumatism by means of hypnotism he at least has given demonstrations of his power by working on a man long crippled by that disease. Greenberg placed the patient in hypnotic state and suggested to him that he could move his legs freely. Immediately the long stiffened limbs moved.

ExPLoLTING RETOLUTT0Ns.

The extreme gravity Of the testimony given
In the Venezuela asphalt case on tuesday by
General Francis V. Greene cannot be ignored
We may not regard 1t as finally dispos1ng Of the
issues of the case. Indeed, with the general is
Sues which are still sub tudtce. it would not be
fitting at this time to concern ourselves. But 1t
is impossible TO pass by without concern the
deliberate measured testimony of the man who
of all men Is qualified to speak upon the subject
with most authority that the American Asphalt
Company supported and aided an insurgent
against the government Of the country IN which
that company held its concessions and IN Which
it was operating. It is true that General Greene
says he did not himself give such aid and did
not personally see it done His knowledge was
acquired at second hand. But the sources OF
knowledge quoted by him are such as prevent
dismissal of his story as idle gossip. 1t Is an
indictment of the company OF the most serious
kind.
Most serious is it, Of course-if General
Greene's testimony is established-fOr the com
pany itself It's effect on at least the stand
ing Of the company in diplomacy must seem
ingIy be disastrous. An American company
upon getting involved IN trouble abroad In
stinctively and not unnaturally turns to our
State Department for championship. That, gen
orally speaking, is right. 1t is one OF the proper
functions of government to protect the rights
can q company appeal to our government for
Intervention in its behalf with q government
against which it has been plotting and to the
rebeIlious subjects Of which it has been giving
aid and encouragement? It ought to be per-
fectly obvious that in thus allying itself with
revolution it commits itself to succeed to
fail with that revolution. and that whatever
happens it must bear the consequences without
recourse.
1t would be agreeable to be convinced that
General Greene's testimony was given under
some astounding misrepresentation, and that all
American concession holders IN Venezuela have
scrupulously refrained from involving them
| selves IN revolutionary conspiracies in that
country. Unhappily, the particularly direct and
explicit testimony Of General Greene, which was
corrOborated yesterday by Mr. Barber, leaves
little hope OF such relief But at least the duty
of our own government remains clear. 1t is
bound to maintain the lawful rights OF its citi-
zens, but il is under compulsion to try to
rehabiIitate rights which have been wantonIy
forfeited and it may fittingly require that those
who seek its good Offices shall not themselves
have made the exercise Of those offices impos-

4 CASE OF NERVES.

''AIurphyism shall not win by default. 1t Is the
imperative duty Of the Republican committee

The committee rose to that duty. 1t put aslde'

a machine man and picked the strongest, ablest
and most energetic man it could lind Inns
choice awakened enthusiasm which has steadily
grown as Mr. WINS has displayed his quality,
and what promised to be a dull and hopeless
campaign has been transformed into an exceed
ingly interesting, lively and sangulne one Ior
the Republicans With the revolt against Ridg-
way, the fear of turning the city over for three
years to Gasman Oakley's creature, MCGOWAN
and the alienation from Tammany or the Eau4Cal
voters who have hitherto been its mainstay, the
prospects are bright for the election OF Mt
WINS and the utter destruction Of the Murphy
McCarren combination, for it cannot endure
four years Of starvation
The World" is too great and too broadmlnded
paper to let anything in the nature OF per
sonaI resentment divert it from the path OF pup
lie duty as laid out by itself. What II 1t has
found Mr. WINS q tart antagonist in years
gone by? This is no time for the sway OF
personal prejudice or for fighting over again
old battles The Tribune, too has had Its con-
troversies with Mr. WINS as was natural when
It had reason to differ from so strong and az
gressive man. All such things are Of no mo-
ment In this crisis Nobody doubts Mr.. IVinss
great ability or his independent character. IT
all who believe Tammany corrupt and desire to
see Murphy and McCarren dislodged and the
APPROXIMATION Of millions OF the taxpayers
money by the franchise grabbers stopped will
Join heartily to support him he can be elected.
OF what Importance is the case Of ruttied
nerves or the nursing Of personal wounds IN
such a battle for the welfare OF four million
people?

BROOKLYN PARK IMPROVEMENT.

Park Commissioner Kennedy of Brooklyn has
done so many good things for the great public
interests committed to his charge that it is n
ment in the doing Of one more, and by no means
the least of his good works. We have to credit
him with the completion OF the long delayed
plans for the western boundary Of Prospect
Park for many improvements in the park it
self, for an effective stand against spOliadon
Of the park for a subway car storage yard, and
for what trust, will prove q successful Oppo-
sitiOn to the deplorable scheme for running the
plaza by intruding a huge library building
upon it.
Now Mr. Kennedy is moving to do the greatly
needed and too long delayed work Of complet-
ing the fine Ocean Parkway, which connects
Prospect Park with Seaside Park and the beach
at Ooney Island. That unrivalled driveway
was laid out many years ago, but still remains
unfinished. About two miles of 1t at each end
are well paved with macadam. but the re-
mainder, mile and half right at the centre
Is still unpaved. and consequently is almost al
ways either muddy or dusty, and therefore very
unpleasant TO drive upon. 1t ought, of course

lhat muddy or dusty WalIow at the centre sim

Of all public spirited citizens.

INSURANCE WITNESSES

Senator Armstrong told the exact truth yes

plant he said that 1.-The witnesses and counsel
that appear before the committee will have
'5ust the position before the committee that
-they themselves create for themselves" They
will have that same position before the public
Insurance officers who have been conducting
business in a conservative fashion, drawing rea-
sonable salaries avoiding syndlcates TO make
profit for themselves out OF policyholders' money
and keeping their books frankly and honestly
have absolutely nothing TO fear from FIr Hughes
and Mr.. McKeen Further than that even those
who, with good purposes and without thought
of doing other than their duty by the poIfcv-
holders and the state have allowed themselves
10 be led into improper practices need have no
fear that they viii be misjudged if they deal
frankly with the committee.
1t is perfectly well understood by the general
public that the companies fell into bad WAYS
Imperceptibly, and that no one man is response

tone Of a large part Of the community. grown
careless in the handling of wealth SO vast that
old fashioned scruples seemed hardly worth
while Now it is housekeeping time. 1t is the
opportunity for perfectly frank and sincere
facing OF the facts, and ali right thinking, patri
otic men viii deal with those facts not in q
spirit OF hypocrisy phar1seeism. but with q
realization that they should rest upon the con

The witnesses who take the public into theil
confidence and tell all they know, instead Of fore

ATRSHIPS IN WAR.

Valuable demonstrations Of the service which
flying machines may render in war have been
given in France within the last few days With
an ordinary balloon held captive by rope it
Is possible to obtain useful informa ton regard
ing an eneny's position and strength but some
thing more can be accomplished with an airship
whose movements can be controlled Such q
craft can be steered directly over a particular
fertilization, photographs of it obtained and tor
pedoes dropped into it. Now that the prohibition
OF the last mentioned practice by international
agreement few years ago has lapsed there is
chance that it may be adopted by those who
direct future campaigns.
However, the experiments just conducted by
the Lebaudy brothers did not reveal the whole
truth No attempt seems to have been made to
thWart the mimic attack. The world would like
to learn exactly how vulnerable are airships
like those used on this occasion and previously
by Santos-D umont Partitions which divide the
gas bag into cells may diminish the effect of
single perforation, but dozen rifle bullets fired
almost simultaneously and well aimed might
cause a collapse in a few seconds. Tests that
are designed TO illustrate the consequences OF
such an encounter now in order

the advantages which have been recognized, but
there is another which is perhaps as formidable
as any yet pointed out
1t has long been held. with good reason, that
transportation by water is less costly than 1t is
by rail. Here, indeed, is the chief argument for
new canals But there are exceptions TO most
rules, and there may be one to this. There Is
already railway between Lake Erie and Pitts
burg. built for the special purpose Of carrying
ore to the Carnegie mills. 1t has no passenger
business. President Hill of the Great Northern
once expressed the opinion before a Congress
investigating committee that road devoted ex-
clusively TO freight and constructed on thor
oughly modern principles could compete sue
cessfully with any waterway less than twenty
feet deep. Such verdict is not to be accepted
without confederation, of course; but 1t seems
to be applicable to the present case The men
who have undertaken to parallel the Carnegie
road with a canal would, therefore do well to
revise their calculations carefully. Upon further
Investigation they may decide that their under
taking would prove Improbable and may with
draw before investing much capital.

have to say of such opposition is that instead
