THE Chicago Tribune expresses its sur
prise that prominent Prohibitionist in
Georgia should subscribe to the dogma
that high tax restriction is "a compromise
with an evil II so, all laws for the pun
ishment Of crime are compromises in the
same sense. They aim to prohibit only by
imposing penalties, such as fines, imprison-
ment OF death. In strict sense, no law
is prohibitory, except as it supplies PEN
atty to deter men from the forbidden act.
A man is practically free to commit mur-
der, subject to the penalty OF being har ged
or imprisoned for life, but this Certainly is
not to be regarded as "a Compromise with
an evil In the great majority of ffsnses
the law simply exacts g money penalty in
the shape of fine. Citizens are free to
do a great many wrongful acts, subject to
the payment of q fine. Are such laws,
one and all, 70 be regarded as 'compro-
misses with an evil?' 1t is plain that the
only feature of prohibition about them is
the inaiction of a money penalty. High
tax does precisely the same. 1t exacts q
money penalty, and makes it secure by re-
quiring payment in advance. The term
license may be misleading, but the opera
tion OF such a tax is to restrict Injurious
acts by visiting them with penalties. II
such form of restrictive penalty is q
compromise with an evil, then the whole
system of criminal laws is open to the
same chaILe,"

The statistics of suicide in this country
last year, as presented in the New York
Insurance Chronicle, make interesting read
ing. Thirty persons in million killed
themselves. The epidemic is worse in
summer than during any other season,
and the causes are in many instances
trihing, and sometimes ludicrous. The
farmers lead the van among the suicides
Among the nationalities the Germans
furnish the greatest number OF victims.
1t is also surprising to find that the major
ity of these unfortunatea are well edu-
Gated, and have bright minds. This leads
the Chronicle to say that suicide claims the
best talent in the land. Many suicides
are not reported. Thousands of men and
women know that by pursuing certain
course, by neglecting certain things, by re-
fusing to undergo medical or surgical
treatment, they will die IN few months
or year,, and yet they deliberately choose
to 20 down to their graves. These persons
desire to die, but have scruples about re-
sorting TO violent means. Many man
commits suicide by willfully drinking him.
self to death. The subject is grim and
ghastly, but the statistics are full of fasci-
mating iatereat.

Ex-SECRETARY TKLLER, in an interview
st Chicago yesterday, denied that the
leases to cattlemen, as frst granted by
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes in
1888, had ever been sanctioned or recog-
nized by him as Secretary of the Interior.
He said that he specifically stated at the
time, and incorporated the statement in
his reports of 1SS3-S4, that the govern
ment reserved the right 10 interfere with
the cattlemen and remove them when
ever it became necessary, either of its own
motion or from the complaints OF the
Indians. In this connection he an
nounced to the Cattlemen that if such
occupation proved agreeable to the In
disns the government would not interfere
with the possessions. Senator Teller is Of
the opinion that much good had been
done the Indians by meeting the cattle
men. The farmers were taught how to
herd cattle, and in other ways were made
familiar with actual business. 1t is only
necessary to remark that the Indians paid
literally for what they learned, and that
the cattlemen accumulated wealth at the
expense OF their dupes. Secretary Teller
may not have sanctioned the leases, al
though the documents bore his official
signature. Still he knew that they were
gigantic fraud, and should have been
cancelled in justice to the Indians, whose
interests ii was his duty to guard.

ONE Of the main arguments Of the
champions Of the so-called protective sys-
tenn, says the Boston Herald, is that a
high tariff secures to American working
men higher wages than are paid in Europe,
or than could be maintained here without
the duties. After further considering the
question the Herald closes with the follow
ing clincher: "The fact that wages are high
or here is as grateful to free traders as to
anybody else, for they share in the pros
perity that comes to all when labor has
abundant occupation and good pay. But
that the difference in wages is not due to
tho tariff is proved by the fact that the
rate has always been higher here than in
the old world, and relatively as much
higher under low tariffs as under high
ones. The controlling fact has been, and
is, that we have here great new country
still in the process of its natural develop
ment; that population over much of the
wide territory is still sparse; and that,
consequently, labor has been in greater
demand. thus increasing its pay. II the
tariff were abolished tomorrow, wages
would BE- much higher here than
they are in the old world, in all
industries that are natural and needed
here. The nearest approach to pau
per wages in this country is in the
: highly protlcted industries of coal and
IRON mining The greatest difference in
yes, as q rule, is in the industries that
not protected. Our consuls abroad sent

THE VALUE OF PETITIONS.
The Clean scheme OF "a Texas Attorney
10 Prove N Point

GALVESTON, TEX August I1.-In a suit
at Longyiew, the Hon. John W. Duncan,
one of tae attorneys in the case, vehe-
mently argued that no value or reliance
could be placed upon petitions promiscu-
ously signed by cit'zens. The opposing
counsel refuted Duncan's argument sc2th-
ingly, and characterize I'd it as absurd and
idiotic. The court and the jury were also
against DuncaH. They believed petitions
in any cause, if signed by good men, were
entitled to respectful consideration.
Chsgrined and defeated, but not con-
vinced that he was wrong, Duncan quietly
went to work to prove that the petitions
were of no value. His ingenious zeal was
reward yesterday, when, in court, he read
solemn petition praying that the court
would hang their fellow-townsman, Luke
Howard, who is one of the most respecta-
BILE ard enterprising citizens of the place.
Duncan displayed the names of all the
county officers and fifty business men
signed to this ludicrous petition. Among
the signers were the brother-in-law and
father-in-law of Howard. Every signature
was proven genuine, and it was conceded
last nigt t that Lawyer Duncan is just a
little the smartest man in Longview."

this time. Ample rain fell one week sgo,

could be wished for. Nevertheless, a
drouth may set in now, and rust woulo
be sure to follow, and the cotton would be
cut short. A wet August is favorable for
cotton. The hollis grow larger, and of
course make more cottou. The outcome
of the cotton crop cannot be told now. 1t
can only be said that the prospect is good
and the present condition favorable.
