The newspapers are full Of reports Of suicides in
all parts of the country. Various causes rnay be
assigned for this access of the sclfdestrpciiye
mania-among them the hard times, the scarcity Of
employment, and the extreme heat of the Summer.
Unfortunately, ono such case in locality usually
produces another, while the newspapers keep up
succession of the melancholy reports.

Since the corresponding return of last year
the reduction has been small since 1873 or
1874 il has been nearly $lO,OOO,OOO. The
abstract published does not show as yet the
amounts due to country banks and to those OF
reserve cities separately.

To the resolves of the Greenback Conven-
ton belongs the sole merit OF astonishing can
dor. Not content with the usual string OF IN
flation projects, they add a demand for the
taxation of Government securities. OF csurse
it was generally understood that initiation means
straieht-out reputation, but it was scarcely to
be expected that its advocates would be so
carried away by their feelings as to strip Off
the last rag of decency.

Yesterdays rains were in general surprise, ana
to most people a very agreeable one The Government
weather reports had not indicated the approaching
change even so late yesterday morning. On
Wednesday the wind was brisk from the north, and
4 fall of tyo-tenths of an inch had taken place III
the barometer THE TRBUNEs Local Observa-
tions" had previously named Thursday as the
probablc date for the advent here of strong
tendency to rainfall that evidently displayed on
Wednesday in the northeast and the lake region.
But during Wednesday afternoon and evening
sudden and irregular rise took place the barometer
which might naturally have accompanied post
uoprnent Of the rain The wind however, changed
to The southeast in the night, and, after ALL the
rain camo at 3:1j yesterday morning. Having
arrived il did not further stand upon the order OF
its coming but came at once, with brief intervals
between the showers until afternoon. At 10 a. m.
there were thunder peals and sharp lightning.
Although the whole rain OF the general character
of mere showers the total amount of water that fell
is estimated at nearly pa inches, and in the low
knt part of tins aud neighbOrng cities sewers and
cellars were overtowed. doing considerable damage.
As usual in such cases Brooklyn the scene of
many such oyeriows, that city being generally
supplied with very inadequate sewers But the
relief from hot weather is more than compensation
for all the damage by the storm, and there IL also
hope the full force OF the change is not expended
since there is some prospect OF further rain.

The Chinese Commission 10 California might have
been timely and useful Mr. Kasson might have
been first-rato member Of the Chinese Commission
The Central Florists might have been investigated
to the great benefit Of California, and to the great
enlightenment OF Congress. Ii had been agreed that
Mr. KasSon should BE- a member of the Chinese Com
mission but when he made n tart speech about
Tilden. it was suddenly discovered that he was By
no means hit to investigate the Chinese, and so the
Sneaker declined to make him Chinese COmmiS-
sioncr II would be hard to say what Mr.. EaSSon's
opiuion of Gov Tidcn has TO do with his ability to
investigate the Chinaman in California, but in this
little bit of ugness in the Speaker We have hint
of the way in which offices might be filled or not

said well nigh 10 have knocked the Commission in

kasson's place, announces his intention of staying
at home Mr.. Meade, under the circumstances
thinks he will stay at home too SO the Chinese

Cruel treatment of seamen by shipmasters is
becoming every year more rare under the
severe rulings of our courts The trial OF the
captaiD of the st. Mark seems likely to present
as dark chapter as any Of the old mutny
stories. Unless the charge Of cruelty can be
squarely contradcted by testimony, the case is
likely to go hard with Capt. Grindlc, since he
escaped penalty on merely technical grounds
in a suit some years ago for a similar Oilense.

The heavy showers of yesterday caused
great discomfort TO the participants in the
dedication of the soldiers and sailors mOnu-
ment at Bridgeport. In one of the intervals
of the rain. however, the procession started,
and the programme was successfully carfled
out. The popular interest was shown by the
fact that very large crowd OF spectators
assembled in the park, and hundreds stood
without umbrellas in the rain. 1t was rather
seyere test of patriotism.

Certain republican members of the
Pennsylvania legislature have been inter
viewed" by newspaper correspondent,
and, as result, he says that, SO far as that
state is concerned, it is either Bristow or
Blaine. A few months ago, he states, that
Blaine was without rival, but now, main.
~ on account of his vigorous crusade
outstripped him. AS an illustration of the
growth of this sentiment, he states that O
republican from Washington county, the
h-place of Blaine, informed him that
three-fourths of the people of that county
were in favor of Bristow. He thinks
however, that the vote of the state will be
given for Blaine, because the linen who
control republican politics and who will
" name the delegates TO the national con.
" vention" are stanch friends of the ex-
speaker. That is to say, that the politici.
ans are in favor of Blaine, the people OF
Bristow, and whichever gets the upper
hand will cast the vote of the state accord
ingly. Well, the people will be reasonably
satisfied with either.
