FKINCK liiSMAHCK recently celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his appointment us prhno min istcr of Germany. Kurope hats' probable tievur had so remarkable a statesman as the "Iron Pnneo. " Other men may have been his equals in finnosso , in diplomacy perhaps , but no one ever forced his way onward by sheer power as ho has done. No one has over solved such far-reaching problems as ho by the force of inert ) intellect. Some of the pos itions ho has taken have seemed to bo wronj ; from a liberal point of view , but right or wrong , he has always had his way. In other directions than statesman ehip ho has not shown any decided superiority. THE tour ot President Cleveland thus far has been nmrKod by incidents alto gether gratifying , and it is to be hoped and expected that such will bo tlio case to thu end. The respect of the people regardless of political nOillnlions , is due to the great ohico winch Mr. Cleveland occupies , and it is tiiis universal sent ! incut that will be manifested in the pop ulnr demonstrations which will every where greet tlio president in his tour Curiosity may iudnc'o many to seek : view of Mr. Cleveland and his beantifu nnd accomplished wife , but tlio inspiring luotivo with all is the profound honor ii which the presidential ollico is held by tlio American people.

TUB collector of the port of Now York lias decided that a clutgyman is not a laborer. Tlio Hov. K. Wnlpolo Warren recently - contly landed in that city tmdnr a contract to tuko charge of ono of thu metropolitan churches. A faction of the congregation wished to Install the Kuv. Dr. Tyng , who is nn American , and so raised the objec tion that Mr. Warren could not bo per mitted to land by reason of the contract labor law. The collector ruled that a foreign clergyman doe * not come under the provisions of this act , th\t : ho is not a laborer. This seems a little odd as thu preachers arc fond of calling themselves "laborers , " and very often they are hard toilers. It also seems that under n strict interpretation of thu law they should bu excluded when they como hero from foreign parts under a contract to perform clerical labor. Labor , without qualifications , cannot bo dulincd as manual exertion moroly. Then , looking at the subjuct from a patriotic point of view , why not protect our natiyo preachers also Bahirios nro often vor.y small and ( hey don't want to bo . ruined by foreign cheap labor moi'u thvu ; anyone olsu. Tlio County Tlclcot. The republican county convention has placed a ticket in nomination which in the main is made up of men whom we cnn highly commend and shall cheerfully support. The lateness of the hour at which thn convention concluded lt.s ses sion compels us to defer comment on individual candidates and the make up of the delegations to the state and judi cial convention. Sullicu It to say , however , that Douglas county republicans enter the campaign this fall with a ticket that lias elements of strength which their opponents will bo tillable to match. The AV'ork ot * thn Urniul Army. It Is to bo regretted that the Grand Army encampment at St. Louis cncouii" tcred such unfavorable weather as to greatly interfere with the enjoyment of the occasion , but happily this is the only circumstance In connection with this meeting of the veterans upon which they cannot bo congratulated. There were special reasons , ironerally understood , for apprehending a loss ( -ratifying result , n'nd it is very much to the credit of the good sense and calm discretion of the majority of these present at the encamp ment that the fears of thuir friends and tlio hopes of their cncniic ? wore not realized. Thure was not wanting an clement ready and willing to create discord and put the Cirand Army in a false position before the coun try. It was the misfortune of Nebraska to bu represented in part by one of these marplots , who saw in the occasion an opportunity to gam personal notoriety , and others were there with a lil.u motive , lint they were a small minority , and their mischievous plans , the success of which would almost surely have been disas trous to the organization , were over whelmingly defeated. The action of the Grand Army is a siillieient answer to all this charges re cently made that it is purely a political organization , Strong as were the incen tives ot political expression , all cllbrts to commit the organization to any opinion or view which cuiild be construed to have a political bearing failed , and the approved proceedings wore confined strictly to those matters which it is the province of the Grand Army to consider. Even in the election of a commandor-in- chief the political considerations which were said to ailed the candidacy ot those at first most prominently named wore sulliciont to canso them to be set aside , and the choice fell to ono against whom no such objection rested. On the subject of pensions the Grand Army adhered with slight mollification to its former ponition , which undoubtedly has the nearly unanimous support of the union soldiers of the country. Their attitude on this subject will not escape criticism , but they will endeavor with increased zeal to secure what they believe to bo just demands. In its results the twenty-first national encampment of the Grand Army was as successful as the best friends of the vet , cran soldiers could have wished , and will make that orgam/ation stronger than ever in popular respect and confidence. In America Europentilztnu ? \ \ ithin a few years a feeling has ob tained In thn United States and experi enced some growth that the country is .steadily and surely drifting away from the principles and ideas which are dis tinctively American and passing tinder the domination of European views and manners as the } * arc brought here by the people who come from the countries of Europe. A great deal of pessimistic lire diction has been made from tinic to time as to what must be the final consequences to'the nation , socially and politically , if something decisive were not done lo check this alleged Europeamzing ten dency. It is not dillicult to picture at : extremely gloomy prospect if one is pre disposed to do so. It is easy to formu late a strong array of plausible reason ! to justify almost any degree of apprehension hension , and to call into service a great many substantial facts for the same pur pose. And this has been and is buinir freely done. The affect is witnessed it the recent chorus of opposition to imini grution , which demands increased re strictions now as the stepping stone to almost complete prohibition at some time in the future. To such extent has the fouling of impending peril growi that the opportunity appeared to be at hand for the formation of a party whose principal mission should bo to educate thu people in opposition to immigra tion , and a convention for this pur pose was recently held in Philadel phia. The elVort was not such n success as its projectors had hoped for , but it served to show the feeling and the tendency. It is gratifying to find n dilVerent view of this question sensibly and hopefully set forth as it is by the Uev. J. Cqleman Adams in the current number of The Forum. Mr. Adams dons not sympathize with the pessimists. Ho does not see any sulliciont ground for being timid or depressed. Ho admits that there are perils of some gravity which will put our institutions and oilr people to a severe strain , anil which call for watchfulness. iforv6 , courage and endurance. 15ut ho is evidently too thorough an American , with too much faith in the inherent strength of American institutions and the enduring virtue and force of American principles , to believe that they will not prove so on- lively adequate to the demands of the future as they have boon to those of the past , or to suppose that having success fully withstood the formidable assaults of a century of warring ideas and poli cies they will bo less able to overthrow \ \ hatever opposition they may encounter heruaftur. Ho finds that In spite of all the evils wo have suffered from Europe , 'America persists in remaining American and that the nation is true to its fiinda- mental ideas. Theintluuncoof those ideas in Americanizing those who come hero from other nations has been most amply demonstrated. True , there are small bodies of men which persistently reject this inlluencu and insist upon antagoniz ing it with uloas of their own , but they omiitltntu a very small fraction of the foreign element with which the great majority have no sympathy. What bet ter evidence could bu desired of the loy alty of our foreign citizenship than was furnished during thu civil war , and no greater injustice could be done this element - ment now than to assume that any con siderable proportion of it U in rfymuittliy with ttiosu wjio advocate disorder aj d tin violation of law. 1'ot the opposition to immigration Is grounded In part upon thU unjust and unwarrantable assump tion. tion.Mr. Mr. Adams wisely says that the mis taken cry which jroos up to-day for a re stricted suiVrago , for property qualifica tions , for a probation before nat uralization , for this condition anil for that Is an unnecessary mistrust of the power of Ameri can institutions to Amoricani/c , and of the discipline of responsibility. Those who raise this cry shut their eyes to what has been accomplished and ignorantly or wilfully ignore the powerful inlluonccs that are continually and persistently at work in assimilating the foreign popula tion and bringing it under the control of those ideas which are fundamental in the American system. The falsu assumptions and prejudiced views of such are , how ever , quickly overthrown by the results of intelligent investigation and the applica tion of fair argument. "Let the spirit ot American Institutions bo carried to its full est extent , ' says Mr. Adams , "lot the individual feel his responsibility as a citizen ; let his children be trained in the common school ; lot the churches have a free field and no favors ; lot law be sustained by the active olforts of the best men and women in the community , and America is in no more da'nger of losing the institutions or the spirit of the forefathers than of losing her climate. " There is more to be feared from the per version of these in obedience to native prejudice and in gratification of thu sug gestions of selfishness than from any in terference or opposition they are likely to encounter at the bauds of the foreign element n ow hero or to come. Hypnotism. The French Academy is making prep arations for a thorough inquiry into the subject of hypnotic phenomena. Dr. Luys , of Paris , recently read ti paper before - fore an audience of scientists on various phases of hypnotism , which produced a strong impression on those who heard it. It is to bo hoped the .result will throw considerably more light on this curious nervous pnas-c than wo now have. The word hypnotism comes from the Greek "h.ypnos , " sleep , and moans put ting a human being or animal to sleep , or into a condition which resembles sleep. It dill'ers from mes merism in that it can bo induced without contact with the person who e.xurcisos thu hypnotic inlluenco. The term is used to designate the system of Dr. Uraid , of England , who made a thorough investigation of mesmerism. The points of the phenomenon is that the hypnoti/.ou subjuct is completely under the control of the hypnotizer. His own will seems to bo completely effaced and he blindly follows the dictates of the other. He is bewitched , fascinated. Firstgontly druvn in any direction , this tendency at last becomes an irresistible impulse. It looks like temptation and subsequent fall. Weak , nervous people , can , as a rule , bu put into the hypnotic state. Dr. Luys in his experiments before the academy showed that persons in the hypnotic state may bo affected by poison ous substances which do not penetrate or even touch the bodies. There is no shadow of recollection of this world of dreams by the subject when real con sciousness returns. The inlluence gained by the operator over the person operated upon remains after he has awakened from his trance. The extent ot this inlluence , Dr. Luys stated , may bo excessive ami the victim is beyond all responsibility for his acts. The academy rccogni/.ed the importance of thesu facts , us an evil- disposed person with the power to put ins neighbor thus to sleep may do a great deal of harm. It is interesting to speculate u pen what inthtonce this povor , granting that Dr. Luys is right , may have exerted first and last upon the human race. May it not be the secret of many seemingly irresis tible impulses manifested in nooplo ? May not witchcraft have a scieutitic basis after all ? May there not bo an "oyil oyo" that impels ono to do what is against his inclinations ? May not people in this way be possessed , hag-ridden ? In a modified form this inlluencu of one person over another is an active factor in our daily lives. Almost every individual knows that there are pur- sons , for instance , with whom he can never make a good bargain. They seem to paraly/.e his will power and compel him to do what he knows to bo against his own interests. An occult power seems to impel him and he feels helpless to resist. . No matter what re solves ho may make when alone , in "con tact with his hypnotizer , they molt away. A person of ordinarily good judgment will thus bo guilty of a foolisli transac tion and ho can oiler no explanations why he did so. No doubt some of the phenomenally successful financiers pos sess more or lues of this power which is the secret of their inlluence over other poo- pre. It accounts also , probably , for the success of skillful confidence men , the various kinds of "agents , " etc. Thu subject is a curious one and may never bo thoroughly understood. it seems to belong to the realm of visions , premonitions , double bight , n waif from a world which vo have no sense to grasp , of which wo only receive a faint sugges tion from time to time. When mankind shall have developed a sixth or a seventh sense perhaps what are mysteries now may b < ) fully understood. Turkey's Backward Step. The sultan of Turkey has issued orders that all schools in his empire that have not special grants from himself , and which nro maintained by foreigners , must bo closed. Moslem children have been pro hibited from attending European or Amer ican schools of every kind , and Turkish schools have been opened everywhere which thn children are made to attend by compulsory laws. The Turks regard this departure as a revival of learning. As n matter of fact , it is a stop backward. Along with this educational movement a revival has been ordered in religious matters by the same august authority. So new places of worship have been built , more Moslem shrines created and a general renovation of the old ones in stituted. The revival is conducted in theme mo > t business-like manner imaginable. The secret of this unusual native activ ity in the educational and religious life of the Moslem's is no doubt the desire of the sultan to increase his political intlu- mice both in Europe and Asia by a re vival ot the old traditions in his empire. The Aumrjcnn and European schools wore lieJping to affect tlio beliefs and [ views of his subjects.j'hoy , ! were gradu ally undermlniiuc Turkish fanaticism by widening the intellectual horizon of the people. All their advances In sclcntlHo learning anil Kcncraldntclllgence have been brought about bj foreign schools. * A now and more liberal idea of the "lulhlol" was beginning to prevail. This tendency alarmed tlio government. The sultan thinks , no doubt , that he sees in It the germ that Is llnally to overthrow his umpire. liuncu the attempt to instill the old fanatical spirit Into the rislnir genera tion. In the schools , nothing will bo taught but the Koran. Its precepts of intolerance toward all outsiders will bo dinned Into the oars of the children , They will be taught that there is but ono God , and that Mohammed is his prophet , that Islamlsm is the only true faith which must conquer the world , by sword and lire , If it can not be done oth erwise , The sultan thus hopes to save the realm , by unifying his people against all the world. If he were not so completely surrounded by an impenetrable oriental atmosphere , if his intellectual horizon were more extended , ho could not fail to perceive that ho is only hastening the downfall of his country , from a Moslem point of view , by this attempt to stem the tide of intelligence. Autocratic as ills powers are ho can not cheek the inlluence of the times by an edict. Western civilization is crowding in upon him in a way that not long be resisted. IScsldcs , the ieeds of intelligence have already been United in the midst of his people and hey will grow. Intercourse with the nlightcned nations of the earth is too asy. The old fanatical faith that made hu name of Turk a terror throughout ho world , can not again bo infused ito the Moslem people. A riivsiriAN who has made a special tudy of physical exorcise for men of cdcntary habits has come to the conclu- ion that horseback riding , hunting tuuf ports of the field are thu best that can be mployed. Pedestrian and rowing are ; oed , but liable to bo carried to excess , vhen they are worse than nothing. Haso tall is too dangerous and productive of pocial diseases Tennis the same. When 'oung men are too poor to engage in the xorci eof horseback riding individually , ho doctor recommends the formation of iding clubs whereby the expense inay be esncncd. His suggestions arc good. 1'oi.vrs. Senator lllair of New Hampshire , thinks .lie icpubllcans can elect Blame. The democrats of NeiV York are for Cleveland and Hill Unanimously.

The republican national committee is to inert in Washington early in December to Ib the date and place of holding the conven tlon. Senator Sherman , It Is said , expects o rather , hopes to get : tOO delegates to the re publican national coinention trom the soutl and Ohio.
