MORE VICTIMS

A sadder case, but happily less prolonged,
was that of Charles Arlington and little Eva
De Forrest. He was engaged to marry her
sister, and coming up behind the little girl
as she sat on the edge of the island, he threw
his arms around her suddenly. Either fright
ened or convulsed, she made a spring and fell
into the water. He sprang after her and
succeeded in getting her to the bank, but she
was too much weakened to hold on and both
were swept over the falls For years after
ward Addington's father visited the falls
frequently and would sit for hours gazing az
the waters where his only son was lost. He
finally died of grief.
The death of Van r. Pierson and his
brother-in-law, Thomas Vedder, by murder
and suicide in 1884, attracted great attention
throughout the country, and was followed in
no long time by the murder or suicide of Lee
Hirschwaldt, a wealthy furrier. Not long
after there were a succession Of suicides, al
of unknown men. Thomas Macomb, of Wei
lard, Ont, negro MINSTREL" went over
the falls voluntarily and was followed in turn
by three more whose identity was unknown.
Last to be reported is the case Of the man
who went over the falls last autumn, and there
is good reason to believe that with him, as
with many before him, the impulse to suicide
was very sudden. Two gentlemen Of Nj
agara were walking near Prospect Point and
watching the torrent dashing over the preci
pice when they saw man standing AVID
gazing at it. They accosted him, and
without giving the usual salutation, he
said, 81 don't believe any man will ever lie
able to stop that water" One OF the mer
1T how HOa
could come to the torrent without going
over" Il could come good deal nearer
than any boat" said the strange man. Imme
diately he flung away cigar he was slnok'
ing, jumped on to the low stone wall and
dived out OF sight into the torrent, with his
back toward the the cataract His body was
found wedged between two rocks below, just
outside Of the sweep Of the falling torrent
A strange fact noticed was that though the
surface Of the body was but very little
bruised, the only noticeable wound being 3
crushed jaw, all his bones were not only
broken, but actually splintered to pieces.
In conclusion, the sad fact must be ad
mitted that as our civilization grows more
complex and our social life more intense OF
strained, nervous organizations will yield
oftener and suicide increase faster than tbs
population All history shows this, and, a!
at the time of the change from the Roman
republic to the empire, suicide became such t
fashion that there were favorite trees anC
favorite precipices because eminent men hac
hanged themselves on those trees or dashed
themselves from those precipices, so we mus
reluctantly make up our minds that Niagar'
will become, if the words be allowable, &
fashionable suicide resort.

STORY WlTHAMoRAL.

It is story of love and crime,
ola deluded man and false woman,
that comes from New York.
Robt. Ray Hamilton, wealthy
New York man-young and hand
some and honorel by seat in the
legislature becam infatuated with a
beautiful she-devil. Day by day
she wound her tolls more tightly
about him until finalI.:, having lost
self-respect and regard for the good
name of his father, he married her
secretly.
Then began a wandering to he
west, extending over months and
costing thousands, and then back to
a cottage at a fashionable summer
resort where his wife, afraid that her
maid would reveal her infidelity to
her husband, attempts to intimidate
her. Resistance on the maids part
caused a quarrel. Then dagger
cleaned in the hand of Mrs. Ham
ilton and Mary Donelly lay perhaps
MORALLY wounded.
Dragged into court and compelled
to acknowledge the woman as his
wife and to appear as witness
against her, Mr.. Hamilton stands
the wreck of his former self-a dig
graced, wrecked, ruined man.
Such scene has its moral. 1t
teaches the weakness of man. 1t
shows that he who treads in the
paths of vice must, sooner or later,
fall beneath the Nemesis of his own
sin.
But beyond this, by contrast, it
teaches the inestimable value of a
true, pure woman. Thousands of
men have no realization of the bles-
sings they have in their wives till
they gaze on a picture like this.
Happy, thrice happy, is he who
has wife whose purity and sweet
ness is his highest Joy and whose life
rests on his household like bene-
diction.
And happier still is he who, hav-
ing such wife, has sense enough
to show his appreciation of her.

Senator German is said to have
presided over a secret meeting Of
prominent Democrats held at a
country house in Maryland last
week to arrange a programme for
the Democratic minority in the
House. It is stated that while it
was not definitely settled, it was
generally understood that the Re
publicans would not be permitted to
make any radical changes in the
present rules of the House, nor will
they be permitted to unseat Demo-
Gratis without good and sufficient
reasons.

BIGGER THAN OLD BEN.

Corporal Tanner is rapidly devel~
oping into a bigger man than Presi-
dent Harrison or any Of his cabinet
officers, and if he continues to grow
at his present rate there will soon
not be room enough at the capital
for any other public representative.
During the last week or so he has
been swelling visiblv with con-
sciousness of his great Importance,
observes the Baltimore Sun, and the
speeches he has been making at
Chatauqua and elsewhere show that
he is filled to the brim and over
| flowing with a sense of his own
greatness.
1t bad been expected that Mr..
Blaine would furnish the pyrotech-
MICS for the present administration,
and he was selected for that work,
but the impetuous and fiery col poral
has showed all Of his colleagues to
the wall, and insists upon filling the
title role and all other subordinate
parts in his serio-comic play of
"Tanner and the Surplus" He
impersonates the hero and the COM
edian, the philanthropist and the
battle-scarred veteran, and fills every
character in the drama except that
Of the heavy william, which he graci-
ously assigns to the Democratic
party.
Like Gilbert's famous mariner,
who ate all his messmates, Mr.. Tan
ner may boast that he is the captain
| bold. the boatswain's mate and the
entire crew Of the ship Of State.
Every other question before the
country, in his opinion, has been
swallowed up by that connected with
the discharge of the duties of the
office which he holds. He is en-
gagged in a life-and-death strugg lie
with the surplus, and he lies awake
of nights devising schemes for get
! Senator who concluded all his
speeches on every subject with the
declaration, Carthage, must be de-
stroyed," Corporal Tanners every
thought is directed to the destruc-
ton Of the surplus.
The surplus has become to him a
horrid nightmare, which haunts his
dreams and fills his waking hours
with horror. When he lies down
to sleep the surplus sits down at his
bedside, makes faces at him, snaps
its oily fingers at him, shows him
how rapidly it is accommodating in
spite of all his efforts, and taunts
him with his inability to dispose of
it. When he walks along the crowd
ed streets his enemy, the surplus,
points mockingly at him and nearly
drives him wild by its sneers and
gibes.
1t is no longer question with the
unhappy corporal Of helping his old
comrades, but of destroying this new
foe, which his political friends, the
trusts and monopolists, are strength
ening every day with their high tar
iff stimulant. Unfortunately for
himself Mr.. Tanner can see but one
way of destroying the surplus and
getting it into circulation, and that
is by paying it out to the old SOL
diers.
A better way to get rid of it
would be by reducing tariff taxes
and then using the surplus to light
en- public burdens for the benefit,
not of class, but of the whole
country.
But the commissioner of pensions
will never see this, and Will go on
in his vain struggle until it is neces-
sary to write his political epitaph-
killed by bucking up against the

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT.

The news which came over the Western
Union wires last night must have caused
them to Jingle with delight. They have
rarely borne better news nor news OF any
kind to those more willing to receive it.
It is enough to make the lover of his
country in these western regions shout SO
loud and long that his cheering could be
heard far east of the grand old Rockies
and even blend with the great acclaim
which must be issuing from patriotic
throats as these lines are being read this
morning.
Democracy is triumphant all along the
line. Where il has not actually succeeded,
it has made terrible inroads into the ranks
of that enemy Of free and popular govern
ment, the Republican party. But where is
there such place we ask at this writing
as one sheet after another comes along from
the telegraph office, each bearing more
cheering news than its predecessors, and
all showing that the United States of
America is practically purged Of the great
disgrace of last November. Never mere
need the Republican party hope to triumph
in a national contest in this country; its
mission is concluded; it can go and hide its
dishonored head in the seclusion of the po-
itical wilds.
The people have returned to their reason.
No longer the dupes of knavish schemes or
the victims of false pretenses, they can
now once more look forward to the dawn
Of q glorious day whose sun will never set.
Apart from the results in chief, glorious
as they are, there are some by issues not
to be overlooked or underestimate. Two
of the most dangerous and unprincipled
demagogues in the land-JosEPH B.
FORAKER, of Ohio, and WILLIAM MALONE,
of Virginia, have gone to the political sleep
which knows no waking. Not even the
shrill trump of GABRIEL could now call
them forth Having lived the life of a
demagogue and self-seeker, ignoring all
considerations of principle and respect
ability, the funeral Of each is an occasion
for merry-making. We rejoice, with the
Democracy of the land, that they are nc
more.
But what shall be said Of Iowa, a state
where it was supposed Republicsnism was
laid upon the people like the hide Of a
rhinoceros and was all but impene-
trablel Casting aside all former restraints
which have held the fair commonwealth
for generation, she also comes to the
front and stands in gloriously With the
now more glorious than ever Democratic
party.
New York has done her full share, re-
manning grandlg in line; Massachusetts,
even-old, hidebound, WITHDRAWING Mas
saohetts-giyes way to the pressure an q
shows great Democratic gains. All, well,
we are moving now, surely!
Clear the track and get ready for the
walkover in 1892, for surely it is coming
