coRoNERS DIPLOMACY.

a special Coroner's jury in New York
recently recommended that an autopsy
should be held upon the bodies OF all sui.
cides, after exposing them for twenty-four
hours at the Morgue. The Herald says
OF this suggestion, 1.-THE avowed purpose
is to put check to suicidal propensi-
20 ties by fear Of the Dissertation of the re,
"mains of the victim, through the expo.
"sure and mutilation. The real purpose toe
evidently is to multiply profitable jobs
for Coroners and their favorlte surgeons.
And the Herald goes on to say that even
now =" il Tammany's scale OF estimate OF
the value of public Offices a Coroner
"outweighs Congressman" The pre-
sumption that the Herald is right in its
estimate of the real purpose OF the recon-
mendation is strengthened by the consid.
Grafton that as preventive OF suicide the
proposed method can have 70 value. Il is
indeed an idea in harmony with the dark
ages alone. The notion that people can be
punished for killing themselves, or de-
tered from killing themselves by the
threat OF punishment inflicted upon their
corpses, is alike antiquated and stupid, to
say nothing of its brutality. The history
of suicide shows that numberlcss attempts
have been made to check and pre-
vent it in barbarous ages, and that
every species of menace and terrorisms
has been in turn exhausted without avail
