THE RATIO OF sUrCrDEs-CuRroUs
FACTS REGARDING NEGROES.

Al the closing ceremonies Of the Medical and
Chirurgieal Faculty Of Maryland which held its
SD annual session In Baltimore recently, q very
interesting paper was read by DR.. q. Liebmann
on suicides, In which he presented conclusions,
said to be definitely confirmed BY observation aud
close research. In the paper the DR.. informs ne
"ihai suicides are Of . greater frequency In the
male than the female ser they occur at almost
all ages; the proportion depends upon the seasons
and the climate; suicide 10 more frequent among
prosperous and highly civilized than among bar
barous people The evil seems to be divided
among the various nations rs follows: Germans
81 per cent, Americans 90 per cent, French Is
per cent Irish u per cent, and strange TO state,
negroes none at sil.'
The paper created considerable discussion,
especially In regard TO the sanity or insanity Of tho
person committing suicide. Prof. Michael argued
that the anathsma Of the Catholic church against
suicides, he thought clearly explained the scarcity
Of suicides among that sect, which also proved that
persons contemplating self-destructisn were not
sane, or they would fail to heed the warning Of
the church. Drs. Smith, Conrad, Arnold and Me-
Sherry also expressed their opinions upon the
paper.
We are not aware Of ever before having seen Il
stated that negroes were never known TO commit
suicide. Coming. however. 20 think Of the subject
We cannot recall u case where a negro ever did de-
hberately take his own life. II this statement Of

the white man.
Though there was much discussion among the
learned scientists composing this chirurgical euI-
ty thu convened. whether suicide was caused BY
insanity, yet-as doctors often are-ihey were un-
able to agree. Tho preponderanee Of ,en,imen,
was that In nearly if not in all cases il resulted
