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.

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

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.

that system seems to bo that they nre trying
lode too much business for the amount ot
