The above statistics show two curl
Gus facts: |. That the number OF sui
cides to population is greater on the
Pacific coast, and decreases in almost
an arithmetical ratio, city by city, until
the Atlantic coast is reached. 2. That
Brooklyn, which is practically part
of the city of New York, has less than
half the number of suicides that the
latter has. The census of 1880 places
the number of suicides in the United
States at to 10000 of population,
while the statistics above show that the
average in the twelve cities named is to
g. $50, which indicates that self-destruc-
ton is nearly two and a half times
greater in the large cities than in the
towns and villages.
Research shows that the details of
suicides in New York apply generally
to the other cities mentioned, and in
fact to the whole country. This is
shown by the following record of the
ages of suicides in New York during
1885 compared with those in the Uni
ted States for the census year.

New York, So were native born, 1872
were foreign born, l67 were males, and
40 were females, Those who were mar
ried numbered SO; widowers and wild
ows, 26; single persons, 60. and 90
whose martial relations were unknown.
The record of occupations of those
who sought death ut their own hands
ought to throw some light upon the
question as to whether poverty is to
any great extent the cause of suicide.
1t does not, however. The statistics

An investigation into the causes of sui

formulate any theory that self-destruc-
ton is the resultant of social conditions
Suicides is thorough individualism.
The somewhat empiracal philosopher,
Buckle, however, says that "In any
gwen state of society certain number
of persons must put an end to their
own lives. Suicides is merely the prod
uct of the general condition Of society.
The individual felon onlyscarries into

claim this exorbitant interest on the ground
that the insufficient security subjects them to

can lose: clerk is completely in their power

A D,rect cause for Suicide

I do not believe that suicide is always at
tributable TO insanity, either hereditary or
temporary, and yet it is plausible to attribute
it to dementla for the reason that healthy,
well-poised condition of the mental faculties
is a certain safeguard against self-destruc-
tion. Trouble, disappointment. want and
other affections prey upon the reasoning
faculties until they become so overweight
that the victim will seek4 relief in death
There is always a direct cause for suicide, but
it is error to give that cause the title of in
sanity in each instance DIR Carpenter in
