THE STATE AND THE SUICIDE.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to add a brief word on the much
discussed question of suicide lately reopencd by Dr.
Felix Adler. While the anclents most emphatically
believed in suicide, that IS, in the right Of man to
his own life" life peases you live if not YOU have
a right to return whence yOu came"-the hest Of
them also took this noble view: But l will not
raise my hand against myself account of pain,
for so 70 die Is to be conquered These Senccas
words, and Pythagoras forblds men 10 depart from
their guard or station In life, without the order OF
their commander. which is God" 1t seems TO be
then beyond dispute that individually considered
suicide must always be looted upon an act OF
weakness, and cOwardce, but far as It concerns
society, II seems TO me that w, +. II. Lecky in his
admirable History Of European Morals has spoken
the only words Of absolute truth that have yet come
under my notice. He says: Suicide is indeed one OF
those acts which may be condemned by moralsts as
sin, but which In modern times nj least cannot be
REGARDED as within the legitimate sphere Of law. For
a society which accords TO It's members perfect liberty
Of emigratop. cannot reasonably pronounce the simple
remuneration of life 10 be offence against ITSELF

A SUGGESTION ABOUT CLEAN STREETS.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune'
Sir: There is a great deal Of talk about our dirty
streets. The Street Cleaning Department is much
blamed and deservedly so, but our streets would be
kept cleaner by little cooperation by the people the
throwing Of trash and litter OF all sorts into the street
adds much 10 It's dirty condition. II each householder
would see to It every morning that the street in front
of the house IS made clean, and the swcepngs are
disposed Of by deposlting them in the ashbarcl which
every house is supposed TO have or If landlords would
provide a receptacle and notify their tenants that
nothing must be thrown in the street and that for each
noncompliance a fine would be imposed, how differ
entity our streets would soon look. OF course this
could not be carried out in every locality but it would
be worth the trial where it IS available. HARLEM.

NEw-HAMpsnRE TOURISTS COMPLAIN.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: For the benefit Of many of your readers who
visit the White Mountains will yOu please give place
in your columns to the following facts? At Bethle-
hon, N H., there is combination among the livery
men to extor exorbitant prices from tourists. Two
Of your subscribers last week engaged team TO drive
to neghbOring village. Wishing to prOOng their
pleasure they went 10 attractive point, return
ing to Bethlehem at shutdown. When they offered
the stable proprietor the usual rate for such distance
they were faced by State statute charging them with
having hired a team with intent to deceive the
penalty for which is $50 thirty DAYS imprson-
ment." The matter was placed in the hands Of a
constable, justice OF the peace was consulted and
both of these officers admitted that they did not
know the in the case" but held your correspond
ents for $l5, assuring them they would have no
redress. We are informed that this Is the common
practice Cd Dverymen here, and that this law, If it be
a law, Is used a menace 10 any nan who, hiring
horse may drive further than he at first intended.
We believe that the travelling public should he In
formed Of such an outrage and that these Niagara
tactics should be exposed. It Is pity that popu
lar resort should be- marred by such a system of
eXtortion F. II. SMITH.
