Il Suggestion for Suicides.
philadelphia Tines

Perhaps there are not more people killing
themselves in these times than in days gone
by, only larger number hear of the criminal
nonsense. And it would be safe to assert
that as far as society at large is concerned
the community can well afford to spare all
the fellows that are taking their own lives.
Of couscience-smitten embezzlers, private
secretaries and scientific brokers and petit
foggers who deliberately fleece the widow and
orphan of their little fortunes, as well as Of
sentimental dudes who go out boating and
flirting with the girls and fool with pistols,
the world has an over-population. And it
would be well rid of the entire crowd. But
it would be waste OF powder and bullets for
such persons to shoot themselves. Besides.
it is bad example for worthy people who
sometimes have trouble and are liable to fall
into popular vices.
In truth, there ought to be some recogniz-
ed legal way of transporting or translating
all incipient suicides, embezzlers and law
less persons, loafers and prize fighters and
millionaire stealers, so that after the first Of
Tense or the second civilization would be rid
of them forever. 1t is plain that with the
present ratio OF increase of mere brutal in
diligence, from the popular suicide to the
stealing, the communities Of free countries
are destined to universal suicide unless
something is done to save men from the
courses that lead to such crimes. Perhaps
the popular standard which puts wealth be.
fore character is wrong and will have to be
changed again by quite other than secular
methods. But that is a long way off.
One of the main troubles leading to all
crimes Is idleness. The wiful loafer, in or
out of office, is pretty sure to be q criminal
and ought to think of killing himself or get
ting himself killed And it is just here per-
haps that the law may be able to get its first
hold. Freedom means only such freedom
as is good for the greatest number of the
community. Let every loafer be made to
explain and go to work or move on to the
treadmill and there would be fewer suicides.
In this country, with proper organization,
there is work enough and pay enough to
keep every honest man in good condition
and with fair peace OF mind. Set the incipi-
ent suicides to work and stop the entire kid
glove business of dealing with crime and
soon no man will want to kill himself. 1t
will be so much better to live than to die.

For several years it has been the habit of

Blaime as a Knoo- Nothing.

In 1855 the Known Nothing craze was
popular with a great many people, and James
G. Blaine was among them. In that year he
was the editor of the Kennebec (Me.) Journal
and had considerable influence with his peo-
pie. He penned on January s, 1855, the fol-
lowing article:
"We need stringent laws 10 regulate the
immigration from Europe, and faithful Of
fcers to administer them. If the present
abuses are not corrected, and corrected
speedily, we shall become worse than Botany
Bay-in fact, we are worse now, for we have
little doubt that more criminals reach us from
Great Britain in a single year than were ever
transported to the penalcolonies in ten years.
And these convicts and felons have hardly
got our dust upon their feet before they are
allowed to vote and control our elections.
And yet with these facts as plain as the
light, demagogues will tell us that our foreign
immigration is nothing but benefit to US,
and that our laws regulating it need no
amendment. We hope, and we sincerely
believe, the day is not far distant when this
whole subject will be impartially reviewed by
the law-making power of our government,
and such wholesome restraints and judlcious
checks imposed as will keep back the avail
lanche of crime which threatens to fall upon
US from Europe, and that then the just and
honorable pride of being an American citizen
will suffer no blush from having our paternal
| rights bestowed in full equality upon those
who are not of the household"
And on the same day this appeared In the
columns of the Journal:
''The political reform which sprung up in
the past year has only had its beginning
the end is not yet. The issue of the next
presidential election is to be determined by
the political movements of the year. If they
be wisely and honestly made, the friends of
freedom and American rights will certain
ly triumph, and the great results will be
checking of the growth of the slave power
and iudicious settlement of the basis of
citizen ship by reform in our laws of natural
| iZation.''
We ask our foreign born citizens to pom
der these lines. If they mean anything at
allthey mean that in the year when the ques-
ton of restricting the rights of adopted
Americans was rapidly approaching its set
| tlement. Blaine was a rank Known Nothing.
But we are now told that he is in favor of a
| vigorous foreign policy; that he will have the
votes of Irish American citizens; that the
Germans are for HMM fine that every for
eign born voter is hurrahing for his candi-
| dacY. We feel pretty sure that this is all
forced buster on the part of the Blaine men.
If in the days when it had some prospect
of success the Know Nothing movement re-
| ceived the support of Blaine, who can doubt
that at least he holds the same opinion to-
| day? If he was not and he is not mere
player with mems sympathies and passions,
his Kennebec Journal article of 80 years ago
shows what were and are his real feelings to-
wards citizens of foreign birth.
