A French mesmerist, M. Roskoff, gives publio exhibitions in which he demonstrates that susceptible subjects may be hypnotized, and while under this spell may be influenced to do murder or any other crime.

WOBD oomes to THE JOURNAL that in some of the out townships, the Democrats are raising a fund to be used on election day. It is the duty of every good citizen to see that every man who so flagrantly violates the plain provisions of the law shall suffer the penalties to the fullest extent. The law was made for Democrats to obey as as well Republicans.

MARYLAND furnishes the latest addition to the list of defaulting Democratic State Treasurers. There are eight of them all told, and the amount of their thefts, together with the victimized States, is shown by the following table: Louisiana 4 702,690 Georlga 90.000 Kentucky 200,000 Virginia 150,000 Tennessee 400,000 Missouri 1,532,000 Mississippi 315,612 Maryland (estimated) 100,000

THE Commissioners of Tippecanoe county have passed an order prohibiting the use of the bridge across the Wabaeh by the street car company over which to run its eleotric oars. This cuts off transit by this means, between Lafayette, Chauncey ana Purdue Univernity. The Commissioners in their order deolare the electric cars a public nuisance. The war will propably result in the street oar company retiring from the Lafayette field.

IT is estimated that the dependent pension bill passed by the Senate on yesterday will require an expenditure of $&00.000,000, a sum considerably more than the annual net inoome of all the newspapers in Lafayette.—Lafayette Qoutfer,

The Courier must have made a slip of the pen. It was stated in the discussion that Senator Plumb's amendment removing the limitation as to arrears of pensions would add to the pension cost about $500,000,000, but this amendment was voted down. The bill as passed wilJ add about $40,000,000 to the pension expenditure.

HON. MICHAEL J. CARROLL, whom the Reviev referred to as having never opened his mouth except at the lunch counter during the last session of the Legislature, will not have a walk away lor nomination as Joint Representative from Montgomery, Putnam and Ciay. Montgomery and Clay have both been favored with candidates and now Putnam in the majesty of its power and its six hundred Democratic majority rises and demands recognition for one of its amateur statesmen. Putnam will probably knook the persimmon and Statesman Carroll will be relegated to the oblivion of past greatness.

THE Senate has passed the dependent pension bill. Forty-two Senators voted for it and twelve against it. The twelve negative votes were Democrats and from the South. Ingenerxl the bill grants a pension of $12 a month to all disabled soldiers whether the disability was caused by their service in the army or whether the disability has been caused since their musterout. The House Committee on Pensions has agreed to report favorably on what is known as the Morrill servioe pension bill, which 4 provides that every soldier of sixty-two years or over shall have $8 per month.

This is one of the most liberal measures a the line of pensions that has ever been brought before the House of Representatives. Should the bill pass it

would add $40,000,000 a year to the! pension appropriations. It is safe to say that either this bill or the dependent! bill passed by the Senate Tuesday will be enaoted into la«v during the present session of Congress.

A WEALTHY SECT.

The Economite Brethren, at iucom^ Pa., lately celebrated the eighty-fifth anniversary of the founding of their sect in America. In 1805 a few people in Germany who believed in following the inward light came in a body to the United States with their leader, George Rapp. They resolved to live as the early Christians did, believing like them that the end of the world was surely at hand. After two experiments elsewhere they bought 2,500 acres of ground in a beautiful valley near Pittsburg and settled there. They called themselves at first Harmonists, but later Economites. Their faith in general seems to be like that of the Quakers, except that they are celibates. «.

All property was owned in common, as with the early Christians. Worldly concerns were dropped from their minds. They nevertheless got very rich. They worked hard and their wants were few. At first the members were permitted to marry, with the understanding that husbands and wives were only to live together a lew months every seven years. This would have been a sure antidote to divorces. At length, however, Rapp decided that celibacy was more in accordance with the ways of the early Christians. Of those who remained true to their leader, husbands and wives then obediently separated, and saw each other no more, except afar off. So they walked apart during the half century or more that they lived, and'waited for the second coming of Christ, which their leader said was surely now not far off.

The community was never large, and at present numbers only fifty persons. An uncommon event happened at the recent celebration, and that was the admission of sixteen new members, one of them being a girl of 18. Unless there are outside accessions the society will soon cease to be, as the majority of the members are very aged. They are worth altogether $35,000,000. What will become of this wealth is matter of much speculation. It is said there are heirs of the original founders in Germany preparing to pounce upon the property as soon as the old Economites. die. On the other hand, it may go to the state of Pennsylvania.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.

At the lute national meeting of Ouuuut superintendents an important matter came up for consideration. It was the exceedingly defective manner in whioh the school census is taken. Defective is the mildest term to use.

Examples of what was meant were produced by Fred. Dick, state superintendent of Colorado.* From statistical reports he found that New Hampshire bad 188 fewer school houses in 1880 than in 1888. The number of school buildings in New York state only increased 64 from 1884 to 1889. According to the same veracious figuring the number of school houses in Indiana decreased 260 in 1888. Several other instances of queer enumeration were given. Evidently there is something shaky in the school statistics business of the country. There is something worse than shaky in the enumerating that gives to the towns nine and ten months' school in the year and in the country districts only five to seven. Harvey M. La Follette, state superintendent of Indiana, has this to say:

Statistics nhow that the enumeration In clttea ax.d large towns is almost universally abnormally Urge. The teault le that cities, the oentors of wealth, get touch more than their pro rata short of state revenues, and the country districts correspoadlngly loss, and that the average school tern is nearly twice as long In the cities as in the country, the teachers much better paid, and in very many instances high schools and special sokools, as well as the elementary schools of cities, are maintained without any local tuition tax. In a city in Indiana the enumeration was questioned and ordered retaken. A most careful re-enumeration of the school population In this city of perhaps 30,000 inhabitants resulted in a shortage of nearly 0,000 in the num ber of children enumerated.

THE farming industry is not so badly depressed as many suppose. Farm products, on an average, are as high priced now as they ever wero in this country prior to the war. But whatever depression there may be has but one remedy, and that is the creation'and building up of other industries that will coaBume our vast surplus of farm products. We cannot build up foreign industries, but we can so shape legislation and out-side efforts as to do this in our own country. We simply have too many good farmers and too much rich land in proportion to the capital and labor in other pursuits. We ought not to buy a dollar's worth of anything from abroad that we oan fairly make at home. By this polioy we should soon build up home industries that would make a home demand for all our farm products. The man who dreams about foreign markets is deluded. All Europe has more farm products of its own than it can now sell for fair prices. Our salvation is home markets by a greater diver, ity of employments and an extension of our manufacturing, mining and other like pursuits.

.REPUBLICANS rtj urged to take an active interest in the township elections. There is a move all over the State among Democrats to ooncentrate everything on township trustees so as to oontrol the election machinery and manipulate the new election law in favor of the Democratic party. Circu­

lars have been sent out by the Democratic State Central Committee, urging this, and the plan is to nullify the election law by manipulating the eieotion machinery by Democratic trustees.
