SCRANTON. NOVEMBER 11. 1S9.
We welcome Lieutenant Governor
Lyon to the ranks of those who advo
cate obedience to the constitutional
mandate in favor of re-ap!ortlonment;
and only regret thut it took him ao
Ions a time to recosnUe tha obvious
duty.
Peace, with Honor.
It would be vain to pretend that
Lord Salisbury's formal announcement
of the agreement of Great Britain in
the aolution uronosod by this govern
ment of the Venezuelan controversy is
not gratifying to the American people.
It U not known yet nor does It Im
mediately matter whose la the conces
sion and whose the victory; there is
triumph to both nations and victory
for all mankind in this demonstration
of the ability of two great powers to
subdue their 111 temper and keep the
peace.
We do not wish to sneak lightly of
the Monroe doctrine nor hint at any
readiness to abandon vital principles
of American diplomacy; yet we cannot
but feel that the mention or war, even
as a remote and conjectural conting
ency, In connection with a dispute over
the ownership of some few hundred
thousand ncres of swamp land In the
equatorial rcKlons of South America,
was a humiliating mistake. We were
Imt-heiult'd with the rest, and would
doubtless be bo again were the seem
ing provocation to be paralleled; and
yet. as one comes to think it calmly
over, what a little thins to justify so
llUKe a fuss!
Very llltoly the blame for the recent
asperity wus shared by both partici
pants; we shall ut least be generous
and assume that America was half at
fault the episode in Its peaceful con
clusion still teaches a maKiilficent lea
son and brlnfis forcibly before the
world the need of n supreme interna
tional court of arbitration.
The Philadelphia Times reminds
David Martin thut he has not yet an
swered the charges made against him
In connection with the Automatic tele
phone franchise. The Times seems dis
posed to jump on David when he Is
down.
Looking to the Future.
An Interesting outline of the future
plans of Senators Jones and Holler,
the respective chairmen of the Demo
cratic and Pooulist national commit
tees, Is supplied by Walter Wellman
from trustworthy Inside sources. Alt
geld, Tillman and Debs ure to be
dropped from the silver combination.
Moreover, the free nilver campaign of
the future is to be waged without any
complicating conditions, such us the
attack upon the Supreme court and
upon tho power of the president of
the 1'nited States to suppress disorder
which interferes with Interstate com
merce. According to Mr. Wellman's
Informant It was agreed by Senator
Jones, Butler and their confreres at
a recent caucus that if It had not been
for Altgeld, Tillman und Debs, the
unwise attack upon the Supreme court,
and the unnecessary condemnation of
President Cleveland In order to please
Altgeld, Bryan would have won the
recent election. They want to try con
clusions o!;uin, with these factors sub
tracted. The plan of these two ambitious
leaders further contemplates a merg
ing of all parties and interests
f jvornble to silver and the waging be
tween now nnd 3900 of a systematic
canvass for converts. Bryan Is to be
the spokesman. He Is to deliver lec
tures in every debatable state and dis
trict. Large quantities of silver lit
erature are to be circulated, and every
possible means will be adopted to keep
this economic fallacy alive so as to
give these baffled politicians something
to work on four years hence. They an
ticipate further desertions from sound
money Democrats. They foresee that
a strenuous effort will be made by the
gold Democrats to win back the stolen
party livery and organization. Hence
they will fight like desperate men,
whose entire future is at stake on the
single Issue w hich they propose to carry
forward. Whether this programme will amount
to much or not will depend largely
upon future circumstances. If the ad
ministration of President McKinley
shall be attended by reasonable pros
perity and shall give average or more
than average satisfaction, the silver
fusion will be harmless and need not
be feared. If there should be unfore
seen complications or disappointments
It might grow dangerous. The only
safe way Is to keep up the campaign of
sound money education, maintain the
Republican organization at Its highest
notch of possible efficiency and trust
in Providence. Then the country can
be prepared for whatever may be at
tempted by the free coinage forces.
New Jersey did better by Hobart
than Ohio did by McKinley; but, then,
It was a novelty for New Jersey to
have a candidate, whereas Ohio has
grown Llas6 at that business.
An Age of Canals.
We are no doubt on the verge of a
period of agitation in favor of canals.
There Is the Nicaragua canal, a stand
ing beggar at the door of congress;
then there is the proposed Delaware
ship canal, which 8enator Quay strong
ly advocates; the deep waterway so
long mooted between Buffalo and Troy,
to enable grain to be shipped straight
from Duluth to Liverpool without re
handling; the Hennepin canal, and last,
but not least, the proposition, recently
Indorsed by the New York Central Lab
or Union, to build a canal 300 feet wide,
SO deep, and with 85-foot walls, from
New Jersey through to California par
allel to the trans-continental railroads.
All of these either have been or will
again be before the public, seriously or
otherwise.
In the meantime, the most Interest
ing canal of all the Chicago drainage
canal.' connecting Jhe great lakes with
the Mississippi river and the gulf of
Mexico Is rapidly nearlng completion
and warrants a word in review. This
channel connects the Chicago with the
Illinois river, and will enable boat
drawing less than 22 feet of water to
pass without hindrance from Duluth to
New Orleans. The cost will approxl
mate $25,000,000, and for $25,000,000 more
the channel can be so enlarged as to
admit the largest river craft atloat.
The rock and dirt already removed
from the channel of this canal would
All a train of freight cars which would
girdle the earth at the equator, or which
would bury more than half of Chicago
deeper than Pompeii was burled. It
Is estimated that the o'pening of the
drainage canal will lower the level of
the great lakes from throe to seven
Inches, but eminent engineers dispute
this assertion. The one sure thing
about it Is that it will greatly cleanse
Chicago's sanitary system and faeili
tate her commerce with the Southern
States. In this way it will undoubtedly
prove an Invaluable investment.
The canal I obsolete for fast freight,
but there are certain grades of freight,
such as grain and salt and lumber and
orea, which call for water transporta
tion because of Its incomparable cheap
ness. Wherever a canal can facilitate
commerce in this way or act as a wiue
check on railroad extortions, its con
struction Is obviously demanded if with
in a reasonable cost. But we fancy It
will be some time before the country
shall be split In two by a 300-foot water
way from Jersey City to San Francisco.
Joseph C. Sibley takes the right view
of the situation when, addressing the
Republicans, he says: "Upon you rests
the responsibility of making good your
promises of prosperity to the people.
and if you succeed in doing this I shall
rejoice that you were the victors and
we the vanquished." To a challenge
of this kind no Republican can hesi
tate to respond good naturedly.
The Truth of Telepathy.
Belief In the power of one mind to
Influence another mind at a distance
without direct communication by any
means Ih nowadays widespread. This
process of thought transference is call
ed telepathy. Telepathy is a well-established
branch of psychic science; it
probably explains most of the occult
phenomena which are regarded by the
lay public as bordering on the miracu
lous. In the Hypnotic Magazine for No
vember, Dr. Thomas J. Hudson, whose
book entitled "A Scientific Demon
stration of a Future Life," has been
received with widespread favor by
many thinkers, and whose earlier work
outlining the scientific basis of psychic
phenomena attracted International at
tention, has nn interesting paper tell
ing how he became convinced of the
truth of telepathy. He Informs us that
he entered upon his investigations of
this subject without preconceived
theories to vindicate and with a mind
open to reasonable evidence. The re
sult was his thorough conversion to
a belief not only In the existence of
telepathic powers, but also in its entire
consistency with established scientific
principles. In his paper he gives sev
eral experiences which contributed to
his assurance as to the genuineness of
telepathy.
One of these consisted of blindfolding
a partially hypnotized woman so as to
?hut off all possibility of her seeing.
Then a curd was taken from a pack of
cards held behind her head, and its
face exhibited to the half-dozen per
sons present in the room. No sooner
had the card, face downward, been
placed In the woman's hand than she
named Its denomination. This experi
ment is a common one, and while It
may appear upon occasions to be the
work of deception, Is by no means Im
possible of accomplishment by genuine
methods, as the following testimony by
Mr. Hudson goes to show:
I caused myself to be securely blind
folded In presence of my fumlly und two
or three trustworthy friends, und In
structed them to draw a card from tne
pack, pluee it on a tuble, face up, and In
full view of all but myself. I enjoined ab
solute silence, and requested them to
steadily guze upon the curd and patiently
await iv.-uilts. I determined not to yield
to any mire mentul Impression, but to
watch for a vision of the curd lts.lf. 1
endeavored to become us pussive as nos-
Dililo and to shut out ull objective
thoughts. In ruct, I tried to go to sleep.
I soon foi.n l that title moment I ap-
proched a state of somnolency 1 begun to
see visions tf self-illuminated o!Ject
floating in inc- darkness before ine. If,
however, one seemed to be taking a tie'.i.
nite shnnn it woi.ld instantly rouse me apsi
tne VI. Ions would vanish. At lensth I
mustered my cu-.let.liy sutllclently to en-
uole me to hold the visions long enough
to perceive ii. Import. When th:i was
accomplished I sin-.. not a curd with its
spots clearly defined but a number
of objects arranged In a row
and resembling real diamonds. I was
Dually eii.bl.-d to oci'nt them, an:! til.a
Ing that there were ten of them I ven
tured to name the ten of diamonds The
applause t'.at followcj told me Hint I wus
right und I removed the bund line und
found tho ton of diamonds lying oi the
table. The vision was symbolical merely;
but no other possible symbol coui.l hu-.e
conveyed u clearer .c'ta of tho fact as it
existed.
I then suffered myEelf to be b'iiidfoldel
again, and in a very few moment. I s:iw
a vision of J. sliu-l? heart spot fluarii1;; be
fore me. I named the ace of heurts, and
I was rlsm. Another card selec-teu wua
the five of snades, but I named the live
of clubs. The mistake arose from my
own obtuaeness In ncl being able to in-
terpret the element o'. pymliollvn in tho
vision. I saw live (tots urranged a on a
card, but I could on y see the s'em end
of each spjt, the tiier end being thrust
into the dnrkr.css, m to speak, k."W. a
little less then halt of each spot vsliil-;.
Now. the sten. end of tho club spot is pre
cisely the some as t.-. corresnondfiirf end
of the sp'ii- spot, and I was stupl t enough
rot to be able t ree that the fact that the
point of eu:h si"t wts concealed was ob
viously a symbolical representation of
trades thri.nl pmuy into the eail.1. Tl-i
was the onl; ni'-takc- that I made rjt of
five cards e.Kct?d f. t my individual ben
efit. Others.ln the company tried the same
experlmerc In the fume way, und each
one scored a sufficient number of suc
cesses '.o e'en ouf iiute the truth of tele,
pathy.
The record of these experiments
might be multiplied indefinitely but
that it would be unnecessary to es
tablish the author's point. Telepathy
does exist. The mind has a power of
projection and Influence apart from
visible means of communication. We
are probably on the verge of Import
ant scientific disclosures in a realm
which ignorance once gave over as a
habitation of witches, demons and mis
cellaneous evil spirits.
In View of the probability of an a.
tra aesslon of the next congress, called
to amend the revenues, the following
passage from a speech delivered by
Major McKinley before the Marquette
club of Chicago Feb. 1J, 1S9G. is of in
terest. Said tho now president-elect:
"It may bo asked what the next Re
publican tariff law will provide. I
cannot tell you. I cannot tell you what
the rates will be. but they will meas
ure the difference between American
and European conditions, and will be
fully adequate to protect ourselves
from the Invasion of our markets by
oriental products to tho Injury of
American labor, and will In no case
be too low to protect and exalt Ameri
can labor and promote and increase
American production." This would be
a good thins for new congressmen to
memorize.
Hayes was the only Republican presi
dent who forgot Pennsylvania In mak
ing up his cabinet. Major McKinley
will doubtless recall that Mr. Hayes
was not the most popular executive In
the list.
Ft lends of Genera! Felix Agnus, edi
tor of the Baltimore American, are
urging his selection as a member of the
next cabinet. No man more thor
oughly deserves such an honor; . but
wouldn't It be too great a loss to J nu n
allsm?
Lord Salisbury's congratulations to
America on our election's result will
doubtless give Brother Bryan another
conniption fit.
Some one should Inform Bryan that
the Popocratie wind mill will never
grind again with the nonsense that is
past.
During the four years following the
4th day of next March the White House
will not be barred against public
opinion,
One thing about newspaper cublnet
making, It keeps good names before the
public and does no harm.
You will observe that William Mc
Kinley remains a plain, unassuming,
likable man.
Silence becomes Altgeld like a tailor-
made gown does a comely maiden.
Of course, if Quay doesn't want a cab
inet Job, that's different.
Jtisf a Little
Casual Mention
The inscription, "W. J. Murray, N. V.,"
appeared on the Hotel Jermyn register
Monday morning. Mr. Murray hud no
sooner left the desk than another guest
grasped a pen and wrote "V. J, MeMur
ray, N. Y." That was u coincidence, but
the episode wus intesltled when in the
ufternoon V. J. Murray, of Philadelphia,
affixed his name in the book on the p.ise
opposite the two other W. J. M's. Mr.
Kolb, one of the day clerks, relates a moro
peculiar incident of the kind and which
occurred but a few weeks ago. A busi
ness mnn from New York city registered
and with a glance at the name Immediate
ly above his own mild: "Well, this Is fun
ny," pointing to the other's autograph;
"thut mun lives just ucross the street
from me. I am not personully acquaint
ed with him, but 1 passed him Just now
at the 'hotel entrance and so know I am
not mistaken." With a true New York
er's Instinct to mind his own business, he
dlil not seek a self-introduction to his
neighbor who remained in the hotel In
Ignorance of the coincidence. It was not
strango that the two Murrays and the
McMurray should register at the hotel,
nor that two New Yorkers living opposite
each other should be the hotel's guesis,
but it was unusual, to say the least, that
the W. J. M's should register on the same
day nnd that one should write his name
below another's, and thut the two neigh
bors should similarly register.
There is a circumstance connected with
the hypnotic dexterity of Private Sec
retary Beamish which causes him to x-
peet ih every mail the notice of a large
legacy. While in Mackinac last summer
he was summoned to the side of an elder,
ly Chicago ludy reputed to be worth sev
eral million dollars. This ludy suffered
severely from neuralgia and hearing that
he was a hypnotist besought him to euse
her pain. Mr. Beamish compiled upon
several occasions and Just before he left
she asked him to name his price for the
treatments. Upon his refusal to take pay
for such a service she presented him with
several valuable books and In other ways
evinced such gratitude thut It will not
surprise those acquainted with the cir
cumstances if one fine duy the mayor's
private secretary should full heir to a
vust fortune. This Is the more probuble
inasmuch as the Chicago lady has no liv
ing relatives to Inherit her great wealth.
Comparatively few fool election bets
were made hereabouts, so far as known
at least none so rash as that of Patrick
O. MeGarvey, of Manayunk, who
Is now, in consequence thereof,
walking to Lincoln, Neb., Mr.
Bryan's home. The most absurd lo
cal wager we know of was that between
Bernard Megargee and a Tribune editor.
by which if either man's candidate got
defeated, that mun agreed to eat unci di
gest a square foot of heavy editorial copy.
Xiegurgeo lost, of course, but he begs off
on a idea of Indigestion. It should be
added In fab-nesa to the loser tiiat he (11 1
not advocate Bryan's election, but only
wagered on It because he teureJ its oc
currence. Deputy Sheriff Lew Bortree, of Mos
cow, has returned from Colorado, where
he siient two months us the guest of his
sons. Mr. Uortreo visited utmost every
mining camp In the state nnd he is enter
taining his trends with some well-told
stories of his adventures In these places.
At Denver he was entertained by Chief.

Speaking of the election, iTvlobly the
biggest loser on record Is W. 11. li-'ll, the
Tribune's Washington cot respondent an J
formerly editor of tho Times of

The Honorable Henry W. Palmer, of
Wllkes-Barre, whom business lately took
to foreign lands, confesses upon his re
turn to a profound admiration for the
scenic beauties of Ireland. "Ireland," said
he the other day, ns a dreamy look spreaj
across h's f.-ice, "Ireland l ly far the
prettiest spot on all this shilling universe.
Why, Ireland, sir. Is actually a prettier
country, a more delightful panorama, a
sweeter retrospect than our own Wyom

says thus much, It must be so.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
It is quite within the limits of probabil
ity that IrH for the sound money Demo
crats McKinley would not have carried
Indiana. It is even possible that he might
not have been elected. The secretary of,
the navy or the secretary of agriculture
does not need to be a partisan. The chief
requirements for attorney general are
thut he be a first-rate lawyer and a true
American. Hither of these positions could
be tilled by a sound-money Democrat

IXNPIRE8 CONFIDENCE.
From the Boston Herald.
There will be an Intelligent and an ex
perienced public man in the presidency In
William McKinley. On the main issue
of the canvass he Is demonstrated to be
reliable. In personal Integrity and per
sonal dignity he is Irreproachable. He
has been In a position for many years
to fully appreciate the Importance of his
oftlce, and he has doubtless made a care
ful study of the workings of the executive
department. He has ample of the best
material from which to select his per
sonal advisers, and there is a guaranty in
the character of the mun that he will
make good use of It. Taking In connec
tion his knowledge of public affairs and
his good disposition with regard to them,
there is reason to anticipate a competent
and successful administration at his
hands.
A PRIMARY DOCTRINE.
From the Detroit Free Press.
The cnmpnlcn of education is still open.
and it ought to be kept open until clearer
views as to the true policy of the nation
have been inculcated, and those who are
now In darkness are made to see the light.
But one of the prlmury doctrines In such a
campaign should bo that converts can
not be mado with a club, even when It
in only a verbal one. No mun apprehends
a proposition any better for being called
a fool, a dolt, or an anarchist.
