The Governor of Texas Speaks.

The New York Herald has the following
dispatch from Governor Ireland OF Texas:
Austin, Tex, Aug. 12.-The editor of the
Herald: You ask my views OF the Cutting
ease. Cutting has never applied to me. It
may he conceded, if necessary, that Cut
ting has been legally convicted under mod
ern law; but the people and government
Of the United States can never submit to
such arule OF law. Every editor and every
other person who writes or prints
matter in the United States obnoxious to
the views OF Mexican courts can at any
lime, when found in Mexico, be arrested
and be punished as Cutting has been. The
person OF Cutting is not involved. Surely
our government has not made an idle de-
mand. No one wants war, and trust no
one wants peace at the expense OF national
honor and the rights OF American citizens.
The only way to avoid war is to be ready
tor it, and show a willingness to accept it
if it must be. Outrages have gone far
enough and have been numerous enough.

The Attitude Of Mexico.

Ex-RepEesentative Rice of Massachu-
sstts, who recently spent three months in
Mexico, in a long conversation said:
The best interests OF Mexico are involved in
Che maintenance of peace with the country.
Che suggestion that she desires war to get
rid Of some OF her northernstates and their
turbulent population is wild and baseless
asa lunatic's dream. The idea that Mexi-
90, with her depleted treasury and low f.
nancial esedit, would incur the vast liabili-
lies OF war in order to dispose of her do
main for nothing. is TOO ridiculous to be
considered. II she should desire such dis.
position OF her territory she would rather
aim to sell it to Us at q large price and SO
replenish rather than further exhaust her
Msources.

Sad Effects of Religious Madness.

Mail and Express Lond on cable: An ex-
ceedingly painful Illustration OF the length
TO which religious madness may go has just
been reported from a hamlet near Briancon,
In the department. OF the Hautes Alps,
France. Among the inhabitantss the place
were two maiden sisters, Marie and Gather
Inc Olagner, aged respectively forty-seven
and forty-fve. They were noted for their
extreme piety and an unshaken belief
in miracles. few days ago Catherine, the
younger, told her sister that God had ap-
peared to her in vision, and asked as a
proof OF her obedience to his will the sacri.
fee of Marie. The latter, imbued with an
absolute faith in the, miracle, acquiesced in
the proposition. When all was ready
Catherine took a keen-edged razor and
deliberately cut the arteries in the arms
and ankle OF her sister, allowing her to
bleed slowly to death. She was arrested
and will be Subjected to an official exaaoi-
nation as to her sanity.

Of the total number of suicides in
New York, 55 were native born, 1872
were foreign born, 1877 were males. and
40 were females. Those who were mar
ried numbered 83; widowers and wild
ows, 26; single persons, 60, and So
whose martial relations were unknown
The record of occupations of those
who sought death at their own hands
ought to throw some light upon the
question as to whether poverty is to
any great extent the cause of suicide.

SUICIDES IN LARGE CITIES.
\ Number Of Tables from Which
Certain Interesting Facts Are
Cleaned

An investigation into the causes of sui
cides furnishes few facts upon which to
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 I'm 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 only carries into
effect what is necessary consequence
of preceding circumstances. The fol-
lowing specially obtained statistics give
the number of suicides in each of the
leading cities in the United States DUR
ing the year 1885:
NUMBER OF SUICIDES
Ne New York. .2o7I Boston ;:..........45
San Francisco. -. "a New Orleans. SO
st. Louis. 10 Baltimore ...........8
Philadelphia rs Newark. .22
Brooklyn. ......... so Buffalo .........1S
The number of suicides to popula-
ton, which is the only comparison of
value, is given below:
SUICIDES TO POPULATION IN 1885,
San Franco. L to 9, 800 Cincinnati Il to 1900
St. Louis. =. L to 5, 100 Boston, L to $500
Chicago L to 5, 700 Buffalo. to II 200
New Orl's....1 to 5000 Phil a.. L to 1900
New York. Il 70 6. 700 Brooklyn. L to Ia, 900
Newark. 800. i to $500 Baltimore. / to L, 800
The above statistics show two curl
GUS facts: 1. 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 l to
$3.50, which indicates that self-destruc-
ton is nearly two and 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:

The methods of self destruction were

transforms a purely political organiza-
ton into band of outlaws; the Mollie
Maguires are an example of this.
All these facts urge the study of
these defective classes. Society has a
right to defend itself against these enc
mics of all peace and progress. But
The punishment must be directed to the
removal of the evil. The born criminal
can readily be detected; the craniologi-
cal peculiarities, the absence of moral
sense, the reckless cruelty of his deeds
point him out. The treatment of these
must aim at removing all opportunities
of indulging their passions, for meet
ing others of their kind (for the cpl
demic contagion of this disease is one
of its worst characteristics for bring
ing into the world others fated to fol-
low in their footsteps. For their chill
dren houses of correction and careful
discipline should be at hand.
The relation between insanity and
crime is one of both cause and effect.
Esquirol has shown an increase of in
sanity and suicides at each outbreak of
the French revolution. Lumier de-
clares that the excitements Of 1870 and
1871 were the more or less Indirect
causes of l, 700 cases of insanity. This
simply means that the same morbid ele-
ment,, tending to pronounced insanity
in one direction and to pronounced
criminality in another, is brought to.
