REECHERISM.

THOMAS X. BEECHER, brother Of the
Rev. Henry W., edits a column OF
"Miscellanies" in the Elmira Gazette,
and recently, in discoursing on suicide,
he let slip the following unministerial
and unlawful sentiments:
"When n man or woman has become
hopeless, useless, painful, a WEAKNESS
to self and wearing out Of friends, il
may be an act of supreme considerable
ness and generosity to step down and
out. We all recognize and praise the
self-help that prefers to suffer rather
than beg. What is the suicide of lone
ly, helpless, friendly citizen, but gen.
erous removing from among men of an
unwelcome nuisance?" The Rochester
Union remarks that ifany body attempts
to commit suicide in accordance to this
teaching Mr.. BEECHER will be guilty of
q felony under the new criminal code,
and quotes the following sections by
way of proof:
I7J. A person who wtlfully, in any man
ner, advises, encourages, abets or assists
ano' her person in taking the latter's life, Is
guilty Of manslaughter In the hrst degree,
I76. A person who wilfully, in any man.
per. encourages, advises, assists or abets
another person In attempting TO take the
latters life, Is guilty Of felony.

n g last State election there was most
perfect and thorough organization, a.
witness the Immense majority giveu
Governor jackson. He received proba'
bly, the largest majority ever given q
candidate for Governor In this State,
and while there were many causes con-
tributipg to this satisfactory result the
prime one was the complete erganiza-
ton of the party throughout the SsNte.
The correspondent, whoever he may
be, cannot produce data to support q
SINGLE proposition that he advances.
He is clearly at sea. The elections last
fall, with the exception OF the one for
Congress in the First district, were per-
fectly satisfactory to the Democrats,
In the First district IL was hardly possi-
BILE to elect Democrat. There was
pending q strike among iron workers
that had lasted six months, and q
great panic scare was precipita-
ted. Mr.. Good was poor
man, while General Golf was not only
q millionaire, but he had prestige and
the Hubbell fund tc help him out. 1t
Is fact that the Republican Commit.
tee last year had eighteen thousand
dollars to spend in the First district,
and il was spent there. The other dis
tricts, when everything is considered,
done their full duty, and will continue
to do so in the future, and We expect
next fall to see the First district ranged
in line with the Others, where 1t belongs.

IMPOSING TuE NORTH POLE.


The perils of polar navigation are
forcibly illustrated in the wreck of the
steamer PrOteus, crushed by the ice in
Smiths Sound, while on her way from
GOdhaven, Greenland, to the relief Of
Lieutenant Greely's party at the United
States Scientific Statiorin Lsdy Frank
lin Bay. The voyage Of the boats of the
fOundered steamer across the frozen
and storm-beaten waters of Melville
Bay was an achievement that attests
Enthusiastically the energy and skill of
the officers, the discipline of the crew.
and the courage and endurance Of all.
II is the imperative duty Of the Gov
eminent to make every effort to ascer-
tain the fate of the Greedy expedition,
and to rescue them if they have sur
vived the ordeal of successive winters
in the high latitude and inhospitable
region of the station at Lady franklin
lay. 1t is not to be assumed that they
ere beyond the reach of human aid !;
and, notwithstanding the dangers that
relief parties have to confront, as real
lied in the case of the Proteus, the con-
scious of the nation cannot ignore the
obligation to persist in fitting out search
expeditions until the party be found
and succored, or it be aseartsined be-
yond doubt that they have persisted.

Republican Factions In West Virginia.


This correspondent Of the Wheeling

long time, and has failed to read the

,x,END THE aOrOR LINE.

Now that the Elm Grove Street Car
Company have secured the right to run
steam cars on their entire line, they
should extend the track, as originally
contemplated, to Wheeling's most de-
lightful suburb, Elm Grove. This has
heretofore been the most important
passenger station on the Hempfield
road, and it was rapidly growing in its
patronage Of that line. This increase
Of travel 70 and from Elm Grove went
on in spite fthe almost utter disregard
Of the comfort and convenience Of their
patrons on the part Of the B. & o. Com
pany. Trains were run, 1t Is true,
at convenient times in the main
when they were on time, but
as all trains were combinations
Of freight, passenger, coal and express,
no one ever knew exactly when to ex-
peet a train along. In addition the
parsimoniousness Of the B. & o. COM
pany shone out conspicuously In the
construction of its Elm Grove station
q station at which hundreds of ladies,
children and others were compelled to
await the uncertain and tardy arrival
of the trains. This station for several
years was composed of rotten boards
Astounding in holes and breaks so as to
make it absolutely unsafe; but at last
even this miserable trap gave way and
was replaced by sound and substantial
plank. But the winds blew and the
sleet and rain descended and mercless-
" beat upon the just and the unjust
alike, who tenaciously fight their way
with the elements in order to get to
>patronize this road. From time to time
the officers of the road have been be-
sought to erect even the cOmmonest
shed-snGh as any merciful man, how
ever poor, would erect over the heaOs
Of his hogs, but to-po purpose.
But the people Of>Elm Grove and
vicinity were assured fromtiRe to time
that all would be made eomforta6ie-for
item at an early day, on the compile
ton Of the road through to Pittsburgh.
With this completion came transfer
nation, it is true. The management
was transferred to Pittsburgh and placed
in the hands of q man whose
study seems to be, GLOW best
can | punish the people OF Elm
Grove for their desire to patronize this
road?" Trains with which the people
had grown familiar have been discon-
tinued and others substituted at hours
entirely unsuitable for the wants Of the
people. One day a train is run, and
on the next without notice OF warning
it does not go out.
Now is a good time for the directors of
the new Motor line to complete their
track to the Grove. They will receive
substantial encouragement, and what is
better, reap rich harvest from travel
every day in the year. This is the only
outlet the city Of Wheeling has. Her
surplus population is rapidly drifting
in this direction, and it will be but
short time until the seven miles be-
tween Tr;adelphia and Wheeling will be
one thickly settled and compact COM
munity-nine. tenths of whose inhabit-
ants will daily go to Wheeling to busi-
ness, employment or school.
The Elm Grove Motor line should
act promptly and secure both the graft
tude and the patronage of this import
ant body Of people.

The Cereal Crop.
Boston Advertiser

Up to the present time there was
some reason for the belief that the price
of wheat and wheat flour remains
so low notwithstanding this country
expected an abundant corn harvest,
while Europe relied on the minor
grains and the abundant root
crops, especially potatoes. The late
frosts do not appear to have
destroyed this belief, for corn remains
very much cheaper than it was q year
ago, while oats, though VIGOROUSLY
plentiful, approach last years quota.
tons. Nor can it be doubted that we
shall have large corn harvest, TOR the
districts in which the frost has been Sc
we're are not in the real corn belt. Miehi-
gan and Wisconsin are important States.
but their corn crops are always light.
Besides this, if their corn has been
damaged it is not lost, and it is absurd
to think of an impending corn famine.
Nobody knows how much corn we
shall have; but it is still possible that
we may have the largest crop on rec
ord, and it is probable that we shall
have more than we had year ago,
when we had l,6l7,0O0,0O0 bushels,
against l, Iii, 100000 bushels in 1850.
