HYPNOTISM has been recognized by the courts, as shown by the rpcord* of the Kansas Supreme court. The question now is, who will r»t:viiize the courts that rpcoffuiste Hvpiiiiiism.

LITERARY ability will not assist in removing the color line in some communities. The Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore has decided unanimously to -withdraw from membership in the National Federation of Woman's Clubs because the latter decided to admit olubs of colored women. It is understood that the olub's withdrawal is intended to show disapproval of this action.
ONE of the most significant elections last week was that held in Evansville. When the Nicholson bill was before the last legislature the most vigorous arguments made against it were those advanced by the legislators from Vanderburg county, who claimed that its passage would imperil the success of the party in that county by the severity of its provisions. Yet in less than thirty days after the legislature adjourned, at an election iu Evansville, the Republl* oan candidate for mayor, opposed by three other candidates, two of whom are now, or were until reoently, Republicans was re elected by a handsome plurality. The bill doesn't seem to have worked such a harm to the Republican party as some of its advocates would have us believe it would.
INDIANA has been greatly censured on aocount of the aotions of her legislators the night the legislature adjourned, but .she Is certainly entitled to oredit for the reason that the last session did not develop any freaks like the Illinois legislature has brought to the front.

auooeeded by a Dvit^rat by appoint" ment, The fight inun Utile two-by-four state over a senator seems to be a oontest between boodle and bi us, a rich porruption oorporationist representing the former class, and Senator HIggins the latter. It is doubtful whether the people of the country are really in favor of popular elections for senators, but such disgusting proceedings, as have marked this session of the Delaware legislature will go far towards qonverting them to that frame of mind,
THAT is a nice point that has been raised by a business men's association in Evansville, questioning the right of county commissioners' boards to assess property in cities for township purposes For years it has been the custom for the board to levy a tax for township taxes, in addition to that for state and county purposes, and no person ever had the temerity to question it. Now the right is to be tested, as the Vanderburg county treasurer and auditor haye been sued in the attempt to restrain them from collecting the tax. The oomplaiut states that the authorities have no right to assess the tax-payers of a oity for other than state, county and munioipal purposes, and that property within oity limits is not subjeot to taxation for township purposes, thesame being within the exclusive jurisdiction of a municipal corporation. It is a matter that ooncerns taxpayers in every oity in the state aud the outcome will be watohed with a great deal rrf interest.
MAYOR HOPKINS is going to write a book not to gratify his enemies but to expose the animus of the enmity he has met with, so he says. He thinks he oan enlighten the people of Chicago as to the underlying purposes of some of the influential men iu that community who have bt-en posing as the friends of better government, etc. The ex-mayor says he has documentary evidence to prove that much of the opposition to him arose from the fact that he did not do things some of these influential men wanted done and by which they expect ed to add to their great fortunes. No doubt there is some truth in his statement because it is frequently the case that the man who rushes to the front with a fine display of indignation about some matter of public policy is really more vexed over the miscarriage of a personal scheme than indignant because of bad municipal government. Still that does not excuse what is bad in municipal government. If the voung man who retired from the office of mayor of Chicago last Monday oan expose the sham reformers no one will be grudge him the satisfaction he may re ceive in doing so. Jr
THE CUBAN revolution is receiving the treatment at the hands of the Spanish government that is always to be expected from a mother government that sees the way opening to the loss of a valuable province. The government is very evidently-suppressing the real facts about the rebellion and punishing newspapers and private individuals for pub lishing the truth. This policy gives a fictitious and delusive strength to a government for a time, but it always defeat* in own ends. It is said tbat 34,000 Spanish troops are at present in Cuba, and yet the government is still declaring that the insurgent area handful of ragamuffins, numbering perhaps 150 desperadoes. Every particle of news must be passed through the governmental censor, to be colored what hue he pleases. Of course, nobody believes a word that comes from suoh a source. Even if they make substantial headway against the rebellion they will find it hard to make people credit their reports, when, lor their own purposes, they are telling .the truth. And very probably those who sympathize with Cuba will be throWlng men, arms and money into the island long after the cause may prove to be hopeless. _______________
