Of almost daily Occurrences q letter. or
some other clus. enables US 10 arrive at
a sufficiently definite conclusion concern
ing the reason for seeking death, but
far more frequently the dead body Of
the suicide alone tells how, not why,
tho fearful deed was done. Is not tho
highly artificial condition Of orr social
system in great measure TO blame for
this thingi The insane striving after
that which too many Of tho young Of to-
day consider a botierment Of their posi-
ton in what, in the restricted sense Of
the word. we term ''society," leads boys
and girls into temptation, thence to
indiscretion, and thence TO what an
ovor-sensitive nature considers haven
in the grave Of a suicide. Society needs
amusements and distractions more
healthy, and, above all, less extravagant
than very many Of those in vogue among
US to-day. 1t Is matter for rejoicing
that there are no "good old times" equal
to those in which we live, bat our fathers
found pleasure in ways more healthy
and less dangerous than those sought by
our sons.

The fruit put up in tin cans should

soldiers, shield. which. though

proof and handy. 1t is of steel,
twenty inches long by eighteen broad.
Two spikes at the bottom enable the
soldier to fix it firmly in the ground,
and a hollow in the top can be used
as a rest for his rifle. The expert

at Copenhagen d short time ago were
deemed highly satisfactory, but will
be repeated on "a larger scale before
the Danish government decides as to
its adoption for the army.

In the matter of the British demand
for the extradition of Sheridan and
Walsh, correspondent says: There
is no reason to believe that there will
be any long delay in the forwarding
of the testimony in these cases, and
very possible in less than ten days an
examination of the charges against
Walsh and Sheridan, coupled with the
demand for their extradition, may
provoke an excitement in New York
such as has not been witnessed for
many years. Mr.. Carroll, the legal
adviser of Shetidan, says he is satified
this government will never consent to
their extradition. He says. it is
generally conceded that lyman

not know where he resides. He
knows some things about him that
he does not desire to state, and un
derstands that lyman desires to re

Mr.. Rufus Hatch, of New York
who recently made a trip abroad
writes to the New York Sun that he
would like to be editor of all the pa
perS in the land, so that he might adj

OF long ago we were assured that
it is an error to suppose that Siberia
is an unpleasant place, and now the
Rev. Sheldon Jackson, who lived five
years in Alaska, assures a Philadel-
phja audience that no words can be
strong enough to express the charm
OF this delightful land, where a eli
mate softer than that of the north of
England insures at all times of the
year full enjoyment of all the lowell
ness around you. He further said
that in forty years the mercury in
Alaska had, by Russian record, only
twice gone below zero.
Even the London Times takes up
the cudgels in behalf of Minister Sar-
gent in his contest with the German
hog. This shows the difference be-
tween the London and Berlin press in
their recognition of the news quality
OF any matter under legislative or
diplomatic discussion. Mr.. Sargent
simply made report to the secretary
of state on the condition of certain
legislative eDactmentS. This report
was given out and published as news,
and the Berlin press will awake from
its sleep in few weeks and discover
the ridiculous display it has made of
itself.

TOUCHING extraditIon proceedings
demanding Peter lyman, the noted
mo. l." and Sheridan and Walsh, the
English government will have to alb
rogate its own policy of offering an
asylum to political offenders. covering
in many cases avowed revolutionists
and even noted Nihilists. But the in
dictment of the three men above
named would indicate that vigor-
Gus demand is to be made. With re-
gard to Walsh and Sheridan. extra
dition p; oceedings will probably not
be carried very far. They seem to be
able to establish an alibi at the time OF
the Phoenix park murderers, and their
alleged connection with the conspira.
cY seems to rest more upon sus-
picion than upon proof. If it can be
established that lyman is the yerita-
BILE No. 1, then, perhaps, the question
will be raised that the conspiracy he
organized was political and that,
therefore, hfsotfe4se comes under that
head. On the decision Of this ques-
ton, then, would hang the result and
possibly hang lyman tao; for he
would De given swift justice OF the
most approved British quality. for

guilty, may be classad as political,
but we would prefer, because ct its

THE Pennsylvania stalwarts are
Offering the independents every in
ducement to return to the party fold,
and as both factions are thoroughly
convicted that party strife means a
continuance Of Democratic rule, it is
probable that earnest efforts VIII be
made TO bring about Ieunion. The
call for the regular convention invites
the independents to participate in the
primary elections upon the under
stood terms that the bolters shall be
fully forgiven, aad the stalwart
leaders profess their willingness 10
surrender entire control Of the
convention to the independents
and permit the latter to name the
ticket. Those who bolted last gear
have now a pretty complete organiza-
ton, consisting of state and county
committees, and an acceptance OF the
invitation to unite iRy0lVes the vir-
tual disbanding Of this organization
Therefore there is il disposition among
the Independents to let the Stalwarts
proye the sincerity OF their profess
sions before taking steps that would
leave them masters OF the situation.
1t is said, If the coming Republican
convention demonstrates its freedom
from bossism the prospect of party
harmony will be very fair.

DANIEL WEBSTER knew the value
of newspapers. He said of them:
Small IS the sum that is required to
patronize a newspaper, and well re-
warded is the patron, care not how
humble and unpretending the gazette
which he takes. It is next to impos-
sible to fill sheet with printed mat
ter without putting something into it
that is worth the subscription price.
Every parent whose son is away from
home at school. should supply him
with newspaper. 1 we'll remember
what marked difference there was
between those of my schoolmates who
had, and those who did not have &C.
cess to the newspapers. Other things
being equal, the first were decidedly
superior to the last in debate, compo
sition, and intelligence

"a TARIFF for revenue only is
what the Democratic party stands
pledged to and it will haye to stick to
the principle or give up all hope of
gaining. popular Endorsement. To the
party this1principle is, in truth, tradi-
tionM. and it is a0re vital now than
it ever was. In 1868 the Cincinnati
convention subscribed to the doctrine
in clear and emphatic terms, and the
conventions of sta es, Texas among
them, entered the Democracy of states
as subscribers to the compact. Last
fall the issue was made i'll states, and
it won, and in Massachusetts, where
it was especially infused into the can
vass, it won victory where none was
expected. On the other hand, the Re-
pu olican party has just as distinctly
proclaimed itself the party of high
tariff and projection. Its platforms
contain an announcement of this
idea, and all it's legislation tends
to carry it out in practice,
while in the last Massachusetts, Re
publican convention it was declared
that the maintenance Of high tariff
was the great mission of the party.
Whatever may be the belief of indi-
vidual Democrats or Republicans
under the influence of locality or
personal interest, the fact remains
that the two parties are distinctly ar
rayed on opposite sides of this ques-
tiou. And as the coming contest is to
be largely on this issue, it is proper
that the issue be made boldly, that
the fight which resulted in victory
last fall in so many states will be
vigorously renewed, so as to carry
the country in 1884.
