SCUANTON, DECEMBER 3. 1896.
Since the street cars have begun to
run on Washington avenue there has
been an annoying Increase In the dust
nuisance. Every car raises a cloud of
dust and sends it whirling Into pedes
trians' faces. What la the city going
to do about it?
Hypnotism and Crime.
The hypnotic tY-ata of the Sages In
this city during the present week are
Hiifllctently convincing to call up the
old question whether there may not
be elements of danger to society in the
development of hypnotic Iniluences; in
other words, whether, in the hunds of
the unscrupulous, power such as the
Sages manifestly possess may not be
used for public or private Injury. The
relationship of hypnotism to crime has'
elicited a voluminous discussion, but
one of the best presentments ' of the
subject that we have seen was recent
ly published in the bulletin of the
psychological section of the Medico
Legal society and was from the pen of
Dr. Sudduth, of Chicago.
This authority first considers In de
tail the facts In several noted criminal
cases In which the hypnotic defense
has been Introduced as, for example,
Harry Mayward's murder of Katherlne
fling at Minneapolis, the seduction of
Mabel Brlggs and Alma Leonard at
Kau Claire, Wis., the Kalb case at Co
lunibus, O., and the murder at Conway,
Kansas, of Thomas I'atton by Tom
MacUonald and shows very conclu
slvely by expert testimony that the
claim of hypnotic Incitement to crime.
whenever mad', was merely a clever
bit of legal dust-throwing, on a par
with what used to be called the "In
sanity dodge," but further up to date,
Coining from this phase of the subject
to a consideration of the nature of
hypnosis. Dr. Sudduth agrees with Pro
fessor Sage that it Is simply a modified
form of natural sleep, with the quail
Heat Ion that notwithstanding the hyp
notized person's apparent loss of con
sciousness he Is really perfectly con
scious of his condition. "He Is pos
sessed," says Dr. Sudduth, "of what is
termed a double or dual consciousness.
He knows full well that he Is doing the
bidding of another, but so long ns the
suggested acts do not shock his sense
of propriety, and come within the
bounds of physical possibility, he will
attempt their performance, because he
realizes that he Is playing a part In an
experiment, and is anxious to add his
mite to the sum of knowledge upon the
subject. Nevertheless," and this point
Is one that all practitioners of hypnot
ism are careful to emphasize, "he is as
free a moral agent to follow the dic
tates of conscience as he Is In the wak
ing state. He obeys only In so far as
the suggested acts do not antagonize
the moral standard he has set up for
himself; any suggestions that serious
ly ulTroiit his moral nature. If persisted
In, will cause him to awaken. Crimi
nal or Imtporal suggestions made to a
moral subject meet the auto-suggestion
arising from his own conscience and
confusion Is created in his mind. His
Indecision Is only too apparent in the
helpless expression on his face, and his
incapacity to originate any line of pro
cedure In the premises, and he simply
remains passive, that Is, does nothing."
In Dr. Sudduth's opinion, the ques
tion of successful hypnotic criminal
suggestion turns, therefore, on a point
of morals, even as It does in the wak
ing state, -and with a lessened possi
bility of success,' for the reason that In
the hypnotic state a subject seems to
lose to a greater or less degree his
sense of material relationship, and cu
pidity and passion are less easily ap
pealed to. The mind Is passive, not
active', and the operator must supply
the motive and the physical Incentive
as well. Even when the suggested act
does not cross the subject's ideas of
right It many times fails of consumma
tion by reason of this same law of In
ertia. In brief, the personality of the
individual "Is not materially altered In
hypnosis; it is only modified; partially
dominated, If you please, by the will
of another for the time being, but only
so far as his own ideas are not serious
ly crossed. Any strong counter-current
of Ideas will break the relationship
and arouse the Individual from the
hypnotic state. Faith In the ability
and the good intentions of the operator
is an essential element In hypnotism,
and the sensational stories that go tlie
rounds of cheap literature regarding
theft, arson and murder committed in
the hypnotic state, by reason of that
state, are the creations of diseased or
Ignorant minds. Unless a person Is any
or all these at heart, he can no more
be made so in the hypnotic than he
can In the waking state."
No plea of hypnotic suggestion has
ever been Judicially passed upon in an
American court. Perhaps the nearest
approach to an opinion on the subject
was reached in the Hayward trial at
Minneapolis, when Judge Smith, in rul
ing against the Introduction of testi
mony calculated to prove that Hay
ward had his accomplice Blixt under
hypnotic control, said: "I do not think
that hypnotism should ever stand as
an excuse for the commission of
crime." For this opinion Judge Smith
will And abundant indorsement.
Possibly Piatt is going to Canton to
ay he was only joking last June.
The American Economist has com
pleted a census of 13S8 Industrial estab
lishments In forty-six States and Terri
tories relative to the condition of labor
throughout the United States In .the
months of July, 1892, and July, 1896.
It shows that in these establishments
there was almost 30 per cent, less work
for American labor, after the Gorman
Wilson tariff had been two years In
operation, than there had been after
the McKinley bill had been the law
for two years. The decrease in the
earnings of wages wan 26 per cent,
under the Democratic free trade tariff,
the total loss of wages to labor being
at the rate of (19,214,448 a year, under
free trade, In the 1,388 establishments,
where there were 52.448 idle hands this
year who had been busily employed un
der Mi-Kin ley protection. This Inquiry
justifies the country's present eagerness
for genuine tariff reform. . j
Senator Sherman Is sal t to be angry
at the thought of being asked to enter
the cabinet. There are plenty of good
Republicans, however, who don't share
his sensitiveness.
Coming to Their Senses.
The recent adoption In Mississippi
and South Carolina of state constitu
tional amendments so restricting the
suffrage as virtually to disfranchise a
large percentage of the male citizen
ship of those states has had one unex
pected effect. It wus done largely with
a view to perpetuating Democratic su
premacy since the disfranchised ele'
ment was mainly Republican, and it
was doubtless supposed that the entire
South, being hitherto solidly Demo
cratic, would ns a matter of course
cheerfully acquiesce, l'ut lo and be
hold! the decent states of the South
are beginning to perceive that such an
arrangement Is uiifnir all around and
are already protesting against it.
For example, the Galveston News,
one of the most influentlhl journals in
the Southwest, after pointing out to
what extent the educational and poll
tax voting tests In Mississippi and
South Carolina have reduced their vote,
contends that the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States makes It mandatory upon con
gress that Mississippi's representation
in the national house of representatives
shall be reduced from seven to two.
and South Carolina's from seven to
three. Likewise Mississippi's repre
sentallon in the electoral college should
be reduced from nine to four and South
Carolina's from nine to rive. The News
says congress should take this action
under the constitution In "justice to the
states of Texas, Missouri, North Caro
Una and the other commonwealths
whole there is no restriction of suf
frage."
To show how unfair the pres
ent arrangement is, a few fig
ures are interesting. In 1S9I tin-
average vote for congressmen
In South Carolina per district was
9.092; in Mississippi it was 6,6.13. The
same year in Indiana it wns 4.1,000; In
Texas 31.000; In Illinois 38,000;' in Ken
tucky 32.DO0; In North Carolina, 30,500;
in Connecticut SS.r.00; and In Pennsyl
vania, about 32.0W). The congressional
returns from the presidential election
are not all in yet. Jut it is safe from
what are in to conclude that the dls
proportion in 1896 was fully as great as
in 1S94. The mere statement of the
case shows on its face that something
is radically wrong In a system which
permits less than 6,000 voters In Miss
isslppi to exert the same power In
choosing a president or In making fed
eral laws that Is exerted by 30,000 to
40,000 voters In the more thrifty and
intelligent Northern stutes.
Heretofore, whenever a Northern
journal or speaker has called attention
to this gross and glaring disparity he
has been howled down by the cry that
such protest is the prompting of par
tisan and pactional prejudice. It Is
therefore prophetic of better things
that the first objection entered this year
to this munifcHt inequality of repre
sentation (mould come from a Demo
cratic source in the South Itself. We
undoubtedly owe much to Southern
Populism for thus breaking down the
old barriers and letting in the light.
Hut whatever the cause of the South' 3
present renascence of hanlty and fair
ness, the next administration should
not fail to look for a remedy for the
existing disproportion. I'erhaps no
other cure would be more efficacious
than to base the ratio for congression
al representation not on population but
on the number of votes cast at the last
prior general election.
The estate of Henry E. Abbey, who
In his day spent millions, amounts to
just $200. Truly this Is a world of
change.
As to Foot Ball.
The Rochester Democrat and Chron
icle has compiled a partial list of young
men killed or seriously injured during
the foot-ball campaign of 1896. The list
is half a column long, too long to re
print, but its totals are 4 killed and 25
severely wounded. From Its list the
Rochester paper has excluded all cases
of injury such as those received dur
ing fights and riots growing out of foot
ball matches for which the game itself
is not directly responsible; also all such
comparatively unimportant Injuries ns
sprained ankles, wrenched knees, brok
en noses, blackened eyes, torn lips, nos
trils and eyelids; also all the Injuries
of which it knows nothing except that
the players were so disabled that they
were unable to continue the game, and,
in many cases, had to be carried uncon
rcions or otherwise helpless from the
field. It further explains with some
care that the list Is by no means com
plete; that it Is made up simply of
those cases which came readily into
recollection, and its conclusion is that
football doesn't pay.
Before discussing that opinion It may
be worth while to note that there is a
good deal of conscious or unconscious
hypocrisy In the public sentiment which
bans the prize ring, with Its far smaller
risk, and elevates the equally bloody
gridiron Into a social function. It is
true that the present associations of
the prize ring are vile; but it is also
true that If the same classes which
support football would take It in hand,
strip It of Its brutalizing features, do
away with finish "mills" and encourage
scientific sparring In the same manner
that they encourage special dexterity
and pluck on the gridiron, the result
would be a distinct gain to athletics.
Give football the age that prize-fighting
has and we dare say it would become
quite as disreputable, unless saved by
the social safeguards at present sur
rounding It.
Now for the main question. Does
football pay? We cannot see a nega
tive side to the question. That the
game may be pushed at times to an
extreme does not signify that It is
therefore wholly unprofitable. Thpre
is no blessing In life which cannot be
turned Into a curse by excesses. The
argument for football is precisely the
argument for the properly conducted
prise ring and all other manly sports;
it develops the human body, teaches
the necessary philosophy of give and
take, engenders pluck, cultivates self
reliance and broadens the whole basis
of existence among its devotees. No
nation ever amounted to a rap which
discouraged athletics. No nation will
ever achieve a noble destiny without
active amateur sports. There is, more
over, a moral side to the question
which upon the whole far outweighs the
Inevitable penalties of athletic com
petition. Moials to a large extent are
associated with physical health. The
well-developed man, physically speak
ing, is almost always the good-natured,
generous, peaceful citizen. On the
cotrary, the man with the disabled
lung or the rebellious liver is nine times
in ten the felluw who plots mischief and
raises Cain generally. Football, among
other sports, juakes for good and virile
citizenship, reduces the percentage of
crime and raises the standards of the
race. Our only regret is that those
who encourage it do not also deal in
equal fairness with several other ath
letic pastimes even belter lilted than
football to achieve these desirable re
sults.
The excitable Wllkes-Harre Record
joins with several excitable local com
men ta tors on the Mrs. Booth case In
premature condemnation of Superlnten
dent Howell. It flies off on a tangent
after hearing only one side of the case,
Mr. Howell's request for a suspension
of Judgment until he can be heard In
his own defense Is eminently fair; and
from what we know of the facts we in
cline to the opinion that his defense
will be likely to acquit him of wrong
motives and place the entire matter in
a more favorable light. Verdicts
should always be withheld until all the
evidence Is in.
The Philadelphia Press "definitely
announces" that Senator Quay's prefer
enee among the candidates to succeei
Senator Cameron Is Hon. Boles Pen
rose, of Philadelphia. This may be;
indeed, so far us newspaper specula
tion roes this Is the surface indication.
But Senator Quay himself will need
to give public testimony In the matt
before doubt can be wholly removed.
When Wevler started to crush the
Cuban rebellion ho promised to do It
within 60 days. He has been at work
for over a vear and still the rebellion
is uncrushed. As a crusher ho seems
to be verv far from a success. But
that Is no reason why the United States
should let him have his own way in
definitely. The time for this govern
ment to act is drawing nigh.
There Is consolation for the anxious.
Mr. Cleveland, it Is said, has decided
not to put the 6i,000 fourth-class post-
oiiices in the country under civil ser
vice rules. In other words, whin Mc
Kinley gets in there will be a pie
counter.
The statement that ex-President An
drew D. White has already been prof
fered the next secretaryship of state is
very improbable. Election day Is only
one month old, and secretaries of state
are rarely chosen in a hurry.
Now that Senator Quay has said de
liberately he would not accept a cabl
net position, look out for Mark Hanna.
The cabinet needs at least one "nod
politician,
William D. Bynum, the chairman of
the Sound Money Democracy, already
wants to form a new party. William
should pause awhile and get rested.
Jfosf a Word or Tu?o
of Castial Mention
Down in Mlnooka there lives a harilv
citizen, who has seen twice thirty winter
suns return, unci from appearances bids
fair to see a good muny more winter suns
come and go. When the Uraveyard lnsur
unco company was at its zenith in this
valley, a lurse number insured this man
and felt conlidcnt thut his days on thU
spnere were numbered. True, he wus
not very rugged then, but he had been
possessed of an Iron constitution; and his
insurers culculuted thut when once a vig
orous und ublu-bodied man beidns to de
cline, he goes down the toboKgun swiftly
and surely, not like one who drags out
a lingering existence. But the mouths
went by and there wus no slun of hit aa-
proaching dissolution. The collectors came
around frequently and took up the premi
ums, nml so much hud been puld in on the
man thut the polity holders got alarmed
and feared thut it wouldn't be long befoic
they would huve more paid in than they
would get out when he died. Demijohns
of the worst grog that could be "rectilled"
were presented to him, and he received
them with thanks and duly con sum en tho
contents, but his heulth did not uppear to
suffer. Eventually the policy holders sot
together, mid this Is no joke, and they
subscribed a purse to send him to Ireland
on k visit to the lund of his birth. They
sent him across the ocean in the middle
of winter, thinking thut the strain on him
would eventuate In his death. Kor several
months the yostolllce was visited every
night In the experatlon that a letter would
arrive announcing his death, but none
came. At last.one biilmy day the fol
lowing spring, he walked into Mlnooka
rejuvenated In health and looking for nil
the world as thouvh he had found Fonee
de Leon's fabled fountain of youth. He
celebrated his return not long after by
getting married, and It wouldn't be wise
to take a policy en him today. Su.flee it
to add that he nacrlbe his relnvigoratioti
to "rot cut'' whiskey and a steerage voy
age to Ireland.
For those of us who are only moderate
ly supplied with this world's goods there
is always a fascination about guessing flt
how much rich men are worth. The av
erage guess Is rarely accurate, but it em.
ploys the mind. The sight In yesterday's
Philadelphia Inquirer or a paragrapn con
cerning Abram Nesbltt, of Kingston, "the
reputed owner," as It says, "of more tan
gible wealth than any other man In the
commonwealth," recalls a conversation
once had with lending Wllkes-Barroans
on this subject. It was on the occasion
of the visit to Spring Brook of a party cf
the officials and guests or the Spring
Brook Water Supply company. Sir. Nes
bltt was In the pnrty and tho talk turned
to the subject of his wealth. There were
various estimates nil the way from $8,ffK,-
H to $17,CW0,UU0 but all agreed upon one
point namely, that Mr. Neshitt li the
wealthiest citizen or .ormtusiern i-cnn-
sylvanla.
The street light at the corner of Quincy

A woman's edition of the Blnghumton
Republican Is In course of evolution. The
exact date of Its issue Is not fixed, but it
will be nislde of a few weeks. Mrs. Mo.
Uermott, the general manageress, is com
ing to Seranton today to consult with
Mrs. C. B. I'enmah, Miss Susan Dickin
son and others of the editor and work
ers of the Seranton Women's Paper, which
was gotten out from The Tribune oltloe
last spring. In addition to seeking advice
from these ladles, who have experienced
the Joys, etc.. of getting out a paper. Mrs.
McDermott will discuss with them the
feasibility of adding a Seranton page to
the paper. As the proceeds are to go to
the Commercial Travelers Home, In
which Sorunton evinces a deep Interest,
there is every likelihood that its Seranton
page will be u reality.
Attorney M. J. Welsh, although one of
the youngest members of the bar, both
In point of years und practice, is ulready
attracting the attention of his legal prct.T
ren. During the lirst three duys of crim
Inul court he has been counsel in sevei
cases and won every one of them, with
the exception of one In which the defend
ant was convicted with four others. Ills
man, however, was singled out from the
rest and recommended to the mercy of the
court. Mr. Welsh modestly says it is
good luck, but those who have been
wutching his Ingenious handling of wit
nesses and listening to his convincing
stylo of argument before Juries do not
agree with him in his explanation of his
success.
On every hand the whist revival Is in
emphatic evidence- save In Wllkes-Harre.
Rei.ated efforts have been made by
Serunton experts to enlist the good peo
ple of that quiescent burg in a whist tour-

ilkes-Harr cares for whist. One the-
ory Is that it is too Intellectual. At oil
events, the favorite Luzerne game U re

A FAMOUS HUMORIST.
Percival It. Benson Is tho namo of the
Uetrolt 1 ribune 8 funny man, whose Jokes
are laughed at the world over. As he Is
about to leave Detroit for the east, the
1 ribune or that city reproduces from Its
fill's some of Benson's brightest work, us
ioiiows;
Senator Sherman's two volumes of
somewhat petulant reminiscences lie
greeted with the following:
Oh, John Sherman remembers that long
ago bolt, und his boom thut was done
up so brown; how they Jollied him on with
a pledge of support and then on his neck
threw him down. In that solemn old
church yard, the senate, he Bits with a
heart of the granite so gray, and, when
he remembers the things that he thinks
no hastens a few things to say.
Of paragraphed .philosophy he has
given much, as witness:
There would be less room at the top If
more were an elevator.
He often uses the framework of the
staple Jokes on social foibles, but the
raiment he gives them Is always of his
own design. An Instance Is found In tho
following:
l-'lrst Plebeian What do you understand
the duke's motto, "N'on palma sine pul-
vere:
Second Plebeian Ah, that, I take It, re
fers to his grace's matrimonial ventures,
It means "No hand without the dust."
Realism? Well, I guess yes. You never
saw anything like It. Why, the leading
lauy was a real lady.
"John," called his wife, "are you putting
tne oauy to sleep."
The pugilist laughed bitterly In the
darkness.
"I've got him against the ropes," he an.
swered, for there was yet hope.
"You're a wicked, lazy tramp," shout
ey the sharp featured woman.
"I decline to be drawn Into any contro
versy," replied the tourist haughtily, "but
you will take notice that I do not claim to
be a June bride."
First Chicago woman And you had to
get rid of FMo?
Second Chicago woman Yes, he got
cross and wouldn't let any strange hus
bands come Into the house.
"And did you lynch the miscreant?"
"No," answered tho leader of the In
furiated mob. "Ho took refuge In un
apartment house and the janitor wouldn't
let us In. He was afraid we would track
mud on the floor."
Old King Coal was a merry old soul.
Ana a merry old soui sure enougn;
Were It not for the slate and the shale in
him
He'd have been what Is called hot stuff.
"Shrill T snv mi rovolr and not good
bye?" he whispered soulfully.
Her long lashes swept ner aamasa
cheek.
"I hnrdlv know." she faltered. "Your
French is pretty rank, but then"
REVERSED.
