Suicide at Silverton.

SALEM, Or, Oct. 1.-Yesterday
morning R. L. Mister, an old
and respected citizen of Silverton,
committed suicide.
For the past few years he has
shown signs of insanity, and has
several times threatened to take
his own life and that of different
members of his family. Saturday
afternoon he went out to his farm
and returnedin the evening, bring
ing with him an old muzzle-load-
ing rifle, which he deposited in bis
barn. Sunday morning his wife
and children went to the country,
and up ON their return at noon
found Mr.. Mister lying upon his
face on the floor dead. He had
gone to the barn after his family
had left, loaded his rifle, and taking
a small piece of rope tied the
breech to the top of one of the
stalls, placed barrel on a bushel
basket, laid down on his left side,
placed the side of his head against
the muzzle, and with a stick pulled
the trigger.
He left letter stating that "if
he did 60 to hell, he'd be damned
if he would live there" and in
other ways showed his mind to be
wandering. The coroner's jury
found verdict in compliance with
these facts.

There are many at the age of 30 to co who
are troubled with too frequent excavations of
the bladder, often accompanied by slight
ing of the system in a manner the patient can
not account for. On examining the urinary
deposits, ropy sediment will often be found,
and sometimes small particles of albumen
will appear. or the color will be of thin,
whitish hue, again changing to n dark, torpid
appearance. There are many men who die of
this difficulty, ignorant of the cause, which IS
the second stage of seminal weakness. DR..

Cure in such cases, ,'and a healthy restora-
tion of the genito-urinary organs.

Tariff Reduction.

The Philadelphia Evening Tele- gram, Republican paper which has some regard for fair play and honest dealing. in an editorial dis cussing the tariff, says:
 It will readily be recognized that there is something to be said in support of Mir. Cleveland's mes sage when tho duties on some of the luxuries are contrasted with those on some of the necessaries of life. Altar of roses, for in- stance, is pure luxury. indulged in by the rich only, and altar of roses is free of all duty. Orange flower oil, another luxury, is simi- larly free; but castor oil, neces- sary medicine, has to pay duty of 1S0 per cent, and linseed oil, also a necessity, 62 per cent. Dia- monds, which can be done without, pay duty of 10 per cent Jew elry pays duty of 25 per cent; while window glass, which mo- body can do without, pays 102 per cent. and steel rails S5 per cent. Gold studs are taxed 25 per cent; horseshoe nails 110 per cent; finest thread lace 30 per cent; cheapest mixed goods, costing about "A cents per yard, v per cent, and spool 51 per cent. Fine Aubusson and Administer carpets, costing about S277 per yard, pay duty of 46 per cent, while common druggets, costing 20 cents yard, a duty of S6 per cent. The finest India shawls pay duty of 4Oa per cent, while common woolen ones pay duty of S6 per cent. The finest broadcloth costing S5 a yard abroad, pays Al per cent duty, while common cloth, costing 65 cents per yard, pays S9 per cent. Champagne pays 5S cents bottle; olives, curry and spices are free, but rice pays duty of 105 per cent. Raw silk is free, but raw wool pays 45 per cent. Pate de toie gras pays 25 per cent duty, but corn starch pays S5a per cent. Musical instruments pay 25 per cent, but galvanized iron wire from 132 to 155 per cent.
 These are but sample specimens of the inequalities of the tariff, which would seem to be, from them, wholly a rich maI's tariff, taxing necessaries high. These are the inequalities, it is to be as- stunned, that the Republicans, in their platform of 1884, pledged themselves to the country to re- wise, but which they have not re- vised, and of which they have ob- structed the revision. In view of the inequalities of our present tariff laws, what folly it is to con- tend, as the organs are doing, that they shall not be touched, and that all who attempt to revise them are free tradersl There is no policy in the length and the breadth of the land so unpopular as that of free trade; but because it is so, and properly, it must not be assumed that there IS no reduc- ton of duties demanded by the country. The kind of tariff which nine-tenths of the people desire is an equal, impartial, protective tariff-not one which props up and coddles special interests and breeds oppressive monopolistic trusts. It is not only Democrats, but Republicans as we'll, who want the inequalities of the tariff cor rected and excessive duties and unnecessary taxation removed.

Abuse of President Cleveland.

Although there is an issue now before the people which men may fairly discuss, and upon which they may honestly differ, 1t is not to be expected that argument will be addressed solely to that. There will be the constant effort made by politicians to eke out the lions skin with the fox's. What they cannot accomplish by wisdom they will try to accomplish by cunning. Fair argument will be met by abuse, equitable statement by personal detraction. The man who cannot answer Cleveland's message will say that he has Q large neck. He who cannot deny that he has been fearless and devoted public servant, will say that he is fat. That they are eager to descend to even greater depths than these has been lately shown, and that they are only held from it by leash of public sentiment that will no longer tolerate it is no credit to them.

Cleveland ia a |wgs man and probably weelA i eighteen inch collar Let it not be forgot ten that he also wears a Websterl- an hat, that could go over the ears of the men who seem to think they answer his argument when they call him fat.

Mr.. Francis Gallon, whose researches
on heredity have been so interesting and
important, started n few years ago n Sc
ries of inquiries into the development of
children in height, weight and strength,
at various ages. Tho trouble is that for
the materials he required to be of any
use, they must be carefully sifted, and
even they would, for the most part, re-
main open to considerable doubt.
Gallon can hardly have hoped, when
he invited the British paterfamilias to
send in the statistics of a family's
growth, that in regard to weight that
worthy but usually u~nscientific character
would take the necessary precautions.
One can see how little the average father
of n family is likely to he careful in such
matters, when one observes how careless
he is in taking the record of his own
weight. He will take his weight on one
of those rather questionable nickel ma
chimes, and remark with n satisfied smile
that he has increased four or five pounds
in weight; without noticing that, per
haps, his last weighing was taken Just
before a meal on a warm day, when he
was lightly clad, whereas the new weigh
ing has been taken soon after n rather
full meal, and when he is warmly
dressed. 1t docs not occur to him to
notice that n couple of Glasses of water
add moro than n pound to the weight,
and a full meal three on four pounds;
while n suit such a. n man wears on a
cold day will often weigh four or five
pounds more (without counting over
coat than the clothing suitable for n
warm day.-Richard A. Proctor.
