SUICIDES IN THREE MONTHS.

The Insurance Chronicle, which makes
a speciality of compiling statistics of
snicides in the United States, published
a table yesterday showing the number of
suicides during March, April. and May.
The whole number reported for this per-
iod was 423, of which I69 occurred in
March, 125 in April, and 129 in May.
This is slight increase over last year.
The greatest numbers at specific ages
were 16 at 40 years and Is at 55
years. Thirty-two were assigned to
business troubles. 13 to chagrin at paren-
tai discipline, % to destitution, 80 to
dissipation, 81 to family trouble, II to
grief, SO to insanity, q to love trouble,
81 to sickness, and 10 to punishment
undergone or threatened. The record
according TO condition was as follows
Maids, %; bachelors, 1913; husbands, 108;
wives, 80; widows, 8; widowers, II; di-
vorced men, 6; divorced women, 4.
Shooting was the method chosen by 165,
poisoning by 95, hanging by 76, cutting
the throat by 27 and drowning by 18.
In point of nationality the Americans
led with 221, the Germans following

remainder were scattered among seven
teen other nationalities. There were 46
farmers, 80 merchants, 81 day laborers,
IL clerks and 8 speculors ia the list. The
remainder were scattered among sixty
other occupations. The usual proportion
of three or four suicides among men to
one among women was repeated. The
record as to sex was males 324. females
49, Ohio led in the roll of States with
A, Pennsylvania following with 40,
Illinois with 3S, New York with 81, and
Missouri %. Two hundred and eighty
suicides were committed by daylight and
143 at night. In ten cases the crime of
suicide was connected with that of muir
der
In treating suicide claims the custom
ers of life insurance companies vary.
Some return the reserves on the policy in
case of suicide, some return the premi-
ums paid with legal interest; some pay
without contest or question after the
policy has been in force a certain length
of time-usualIy three years; and some
treat suicide claims the same as Other
claims, apparently regarding the fact of
suicide as prima facie evidence of insani-
ty, and make no contest unless the pur-
pose of the suicide was plainly frauGu-
lent.

HIS DESTINY rs DEFEAT.

In 1884 it is again proposed to nomi-
nate candidate for the purpose of secur-
ing what is now called the Independent
Republican vote, and Grover Cleveland,
a man not qualified to be President, and
himself an extreme independent, though
a Democrat in name, has been picked
out for this purpose. If Mr.. Cleveland
should finally come forth as the candi-
date for the Chicago Convention he will
appear upon the stage bearing the mark
of destiny, and that destiny will be de-
feat. At the same time the disaster will
be most pernicious in its effects upon the
Democracy. The folly of repeating such
foolish experiment, with a man indie
pendent of party obligation, will be sig
nally punished, and the disorganization
it produces will be of sort that will
take years to recover from. If the De-
mocracy must be beaten in 1884, there
are plenty of honored and distinguished
statesmen who might be selected to lead
the doomed army without invoking, in
addition to the calamity of overthrow,
the dangers of disorganization and disso-
luton. IF the Democracy is now to be
beaten-and beaten when the chances of
victory are better than they have been
for twenty years-in Heayen's name let
the tragic experience be.conducted under
some leader with whom the calamity will
be free from disgrace and not entirely
fatal.-New York Sun (Ind.) Dem.

A SENSIBLE FARMER.

A farmer who is evidently "not to be
fooled" writes as follows to the State
Grange Bulletin, the organ of the
organized agriculturists of Wisconsin:
There is blue covered pamphlet being
sowed broadcast throughout the West,
styled the "Knjfe of Protection" dated
1888: no author; no clew to its protec-
ton; a very blunt-edged knife, mani
testing great interest for the farmers, and
for no other class, only indirectly for the
shippers and monopolists, and in all
probability is the production of British
gold. Why should foreigners, politicians
and speculators manifest so great all in.
terest for the farmers, unless it is that
they may be more prosperous? That the
above named class may depredate upon
them and secure to themselves an easier
and more luxurious life. There never
was time in the history of our nation
when the farmers were as prosperous,
happy and contented as in the past ten
years. This knife makes its appearance
once in four years. In 1880 it made it's
appearance, not for sale but for free
distribution, and on the cover is found in
good penmanship the word compliment
tary. Anyone familiar with politics and
the affairs of our nation, will find this
knife very old concern. Whitfield
with it in 1886; it bad a few hicks in it
then, and since thea its use once in four
years has made very ragged edge, so
much so that it tears rather than cuts.
One tear is to repeal the tariff, or re-
duce it to revenue tariff only. Our
nation is greatly in debt, the debts are
not due and cannot be paid until they
become become due. All prudent men
owing debts to become due, lay aside
their means and are prepared to meet
their Indebtedness at maturity. and why
not nations do the same? Great stress'is
laid on the many millions boarded up in
the. Treasury. Our debts must be paid,
and the money will be needed to pay
them. The farmers, miners, and manu-
facturers pay all, the merchants, the
bankers and carriers pay nothing, they
merely exchange commodities and grow
rich. If this dull knife has so much
interest for the farmers, let it be ground
and then cut away the obstacles in the
way OF erecting manufactures central in
Wisconsin, sufficient TO consume all the
products of the state, and have consumed
at home all our perishable produce,
save frelghting our manufactured arti-
cles back. No! the carrying trade do not
want that state of affairs. Consume our
produce and manufacture our necessities
at home and their business is ruined.
Free trade would go great way towards
keeping them out of the poor house.

BLAINE's PERSONAL APPEARANCE

BLAINE'S PERSONAL APPEARANCE
"Mr. Blaine is far better looking than the
cartoons or campaign portraits make
him." remarked a friend of mine who
saw him this summer, jnst before the
convention. He is a handsomer man
than he was ten years ago in all the ele-
ments of strong and dignifed physiogno-
my. Age has completely silvered his
hair and beard; and this, with his pink
complexion, makes wonderfully pleas
ant and interesting face. His facial
muscles have still that fluffy, tumid ap-
pearance which made him look, even
twenty years ago, 80 ugly in debate. His
eyes shine keenly over the baggy under
liGs that are observed in men who have
Bright's disease-the common enemy of
actors in public life. He is, however, as
healthy to-day as an acrobat, and makes

The Ohio Democrats and the Ohio
liquer-sellers are at loggerheads. The
liquor sellers furnished the money used
in the last Democratic campaign in that
State, and the sinews of war thus obtain
ed enabled the Democrats to secure
victory. In return the Democrats agreed
to repeal the Scott Liquor law, and the
late Democratic Legislature in its timidi-
ty failed to redeem the promise. The
liquor-sellers were then kept quiet for a
time by the hope that the Democratic
Supreme Court which they had elected
would declare the law unconstitutional
on the cases before it. The court re-
fused to make such a decision, and
pending prosecutions for violations of
the law in Cleveland are now being
pushed to conclusion. Without the
help of the liquor. sellers, which they
have now forfeited, the Democrats can
not carry one side of even the back
