but only to hit hard at its opponents.
The Boston Post says: ''Strange to re-
late, of four hundred and twenty-four
deaths by suicide in the United States
during the last three months, the occupa-
ton which furnished the greatest number
was farming. The fret and worry of the
broker and merchants life is not supposed
to be found in that of the farmer. We
have been accustomed to look upon him
as the freest and happiest man on earth,
and certainly the figures which we find
in the Insurance Chronicle astonish us.
What is the trouble with the farmers?
Doubtless it can be traced to this: The
enormous burden of taxation with which
the whole country is cursed. The taxation,
direct and indirect, town, county, State
and national, is eating the average farmer
out of house and home, and the result is,
first, a mortgage on the old homestead;
second, a foreclosure; and, finally, suicide.
We do not infer that every farmer who
mortgages his place is forced to because
of excessive taxation, nor do we wish to
be understood as intimating that every
farmer who cannot clear off his mortgage
commits suicide. Not at all. But if it is
not, primarily, the great burden of taxa
ton which drives our farmers TO self-de-
structiOn, what ON earth can it be? When
twice as many farmers as merchants, four
times as many farmers as clerks, and five
times as many farmers as courtesans,
commit suicide, there is no other con-
clusion at which we can arrive than this
That over-taxation and unjust discrimina-
tioU is the cause of all this misery"

A FALSE FRIEND.
"Msn's Inhumanity to Man" Results in O
Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1O.-The dead
body Of Richard Wildey, an ex.member Of
the Legislature, was found with his throat
cut, face upward, in the short stubble at
the head Of Sweet Brier Valley In Fair.
mount Park, on Thursday night The
pocket knife with which he had committed
suicide was found near by. In his private
desk at his home, No. l42l Marlborough
street, when broken open yesterday, were
found two letters which throw light on the
cause Of the suicide. The first letter, ad.
dressed to Ex.City Treasurer William
Bumm, was as follows:
lit was not the way treated you when
you were in trouble. May God be more
merciful to you than you we're to me, aud
when you are driving in the park give one
thought to poor Dick
The other letter read:
"MY DEAR WIFE:-I saw Mr.. Bumm,
and be refused to assist me, even though l
told him 1t was matter Of life and death.
May God in his mercy help you. You
were a good wife to me- Good bye. Your

referred to is said to have been elevated to
the Office through the personal influence
and money Of the unfortunate suicide.
Wildey is said to have lent him In addition
large sums Of money, and his own son says
that upon one occasion, before he lost his
fortune, he advanced the city treasurer

said that Wildey was roughly repulsed when

Mr.. Bumm bears high reputation, and
the publication OF Wildey's letter causes
much surprise. Mr.. Bumm refused to
affirm or deny his obligations to Wildey.

Deserted His Darling.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. l0.-The prolonged
lbsence OF Henry Myers, who for two years
hxs held the position of clerk of the United
States rendezvous, provokes much adverse
criticism. In 1881 he fell In love with Lena
Hnris, belle in Hebrew circles. Shortly

board and pswned bis household furniture
and removed to a cheap hotel. On Novem-
Ter 27, on plea of going to Washington on

sen. 1t now transpires that he is heavily
IN debt. 1t ia alleged that an over fondness
Tor the gaming table wrought his ruin. De-
tectives who are seeking his whereabouts

STOPPED HIS PENSION.
An Old Soldier Attempts Murder and
then Commits Suicide.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. l0.-John Reichen.
bach s body was carted from the City hos.
pital to the Morgue to-day and registered
at that institution under the head of
suicides. Had the deceased lived he would
occupy Jail cell this morning, and had he
bean successful in carrying out his murder
Gus plans yesterday he would to-day I'LL a
cell in Murderer's Row. Reichenbach was
soldier during the war and received
wound In the hand which left that member
crippled and partially useless. For this
be had been drawing pen
sion OF SIS per month for sew
eral years. He was laborer, and from his
pension and the wages he managed to live.
He boarded at Mrs. Rosa Wahl's house
No. 1906 Cherokee street, and paid the
board with the pension money which was
regularly objected for him by young man
named Charles Meyer, an adopted sou Of
the .andlady, who also boarded at the
house. AT noon yesterday the family and
boarders were called to dinner, and Reich :
enbach responded with the rest. He had
been In bad bumor owing to the fact that he
had not received his last pension, aud he
suspected that Meyers had already collected
it, just before dinner Refchenbach at-
cused Meyer Of having embezzled the
money, and the latter denied it warmly.
The other boarders interfered and it was
supposed the matter was settled. As the
family sat down to dinner Reichenbach
seized a Ratchet, and, running to where
Meyers sat, dealt him blow with the
blunt end OF the weapon. Meyer

and his assailant ran out OF the house,
making an attempt to strike Mrs. Wahl in
his escape. On President street. one block
east OF South Broadway, he plunged head
foremost into the water, evidently with
suicidal intent. John DnOtbies and John
Hen bricks, two young men, chased the old
fellow TO the waters edge. Old Reichen-
bach turned glance on his pursuers, who
were strung along the banks, and then de-
liberately ducked his head under water.
Dlnotbies and Henerrlcks, regardless Of
conse quences, pushed into the cold water
and dragged the old man to the bank, where
Officers McElhenny and Jacobs took him in
hand resuscitated him after some hard
work. He was then taken to the Gate
Street Station, where stimulants were
gwen him. He completely recovered, but
only for few moments, and he grew
steadily worse in his relapse, an ambulance
was summoned, and he was transferred to
the City Hospital where he died at 1855
this morning. DR., Dean made statement
for the Coroner in which he gave II as his
opinlo2 that death resulted from congestion
and shock consequent on his feaI and his
cold bath. Reichenbach was Of cranky
disposition, and his performance yesterday
excited very little comment In the Wahl
household. Young Meyer was not serious.

an ugly scalp wound about two inches in
