A STRANGE SUICIDE.-On last Satur-
day morning Johnnie Johnson, second
son of NJ. ID. johnson, was missing.
Not until afternoon was much anxiety
felt, when search was made without
success. 1t was at length ascertained
that a workman on the railroad bridge
had seen a young man in bathing that
cool morning, and thought it was an
unusual occurrence, but seeing him come
out and wash himself he thought no
more about it. This being the only
search, dragging the river until nearly
morning. On Sabbath morning his
coat, hat and suspenders were found
on the bank of the river i'll another
place. The family then gave up hope
of finding their son alive, but the body
was not found until Tuesday afternoon,
Il short distance from where his clothes
were left. There is much mystery con-
corning this sad death. johnson had
days, several of his friends pro-
nOuncing him insane. He had had
serious trouble with his eyes and that
had hindered him from getting an edu-
cation which was il great trial. He
several times said that he was losing
his mind and often did not know what
he was doing. He was young man of
uncommon ability, a most genial com
paniOn and a universal favorite. The
Sabbath previous he was the scholar
most interested in the sabbath school
lesson. The Christian family where he
had been so carefully trained, have
the heartfelt sympathy of their large
circle of friends and neighbors. The
funeral was attended Wednesday.

Keen the Main Issue Clear.

1t is to be hoped that the Republic
can Congressional Committee will
render effective service during the
campaign, and perhaps it will. But
it is starting out with cardinal error.
It announces. for instance, in its first
publication, that the "Main question
to be decided at the coming Congress
sional elections is who can best be
trusted to count honestly the next
Presidential vote" This is certainly
an issue, and an important one, but
it is scarcely the most important.
The most important issue in the Con-
gresSiOnal election is an economic one,
and refers to the placing of the bust
ness and industrial interests of the
country upon a sound money basis.
The main question is as to which
party can be depended on to act the
more wisely with reference to the
class of questions upon which the
material prosperity of the People and
the development Of our resources de-
pend The Congressional Committee
is year or so behind the times. Its
fault is that it derives Its inspiration
from the Washington atmosphere,
whereas the inspiration of the cam
paign should be furnished by the
voters. The people take a great in
terest in the counting of the electoral
vote, but they take greater one in
the election of Congress W hich will
not play at ducks and brakes with
the tariff and permit the depreciation
of the standard of value with all that
it involves. They want a Congress
for other purposes than merely to
count in a President, and it is always
better to place the main argument
in the foreground. When the mer-
chants. farmers and manufacturers
are to be appealed to, it is well to
strike them right at home.-&. Louis
