WILKEsBAERE, Pa. Nov. 17.-William
Ruddy, aged twenty six years, committed
suicide in most sensational manner at
his home in this city to-day. i 1t is alleged
that Ruddy came here and found that his
mother drank to excess, and this so
troubled him that he resolved to make wav
with himself. He poured coal oil over
himself and by thrusting his hand into the
fire, became enveloped in flames. He then
seized q sharp knife and stabbed himself
over the heart, inflicting wound that
would in itself have resulted fatally. He
was horribly burned, his flesh hanging in
shreds and in ashort time death freed him
from his e1cruciating suffering

GRIP MADE HIM WANDER.


Sudden Return of a Missing Man Sup
posed to BE Dead.
When Mrs. Edward Smith Of Pittsford,
Vt, came from her sleeping apartments she
was greatly surprised to find her long miss
ing husband quietly asleep on a lounge.
MI Smith, member of the State Board OF
Fish Commissioners and the Representative
Of that town in the Legislature, left But
land april 231 and no trace of him had been
found. River, lake and wood were searched
and rewards offered, and he had been given
up as dead. He has every appearance Of
having been mentally worn, but now sound.
This is his story:

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
The Charleston Is. c. News and Courier

The Charleston s. c. NewS and Courier
says:
We do not believe there is any other Democrat
who can lead the party TO success next year but
Grover Cleveland We believe that the nOmina-
ton OF Western man viii lose to The Democracy
at least seventy one electoral votes in the
Middle and Eastern States. We do not believe
that any Western candidate, however stanch his
Democracy or strong his personal popularity,
eau make up IN The West the loss OF electoral
votes which We should certainly sustain in the
East.
If the Nel1S and Courier is correct in its
estimate of the relative strength of the two
parties, the frequently expressed opinion
among Republicans that Mr.. Blaine is the
only Republican candidate that can be
elected is not entitled to much cOnsidera-
ton. If the strength of the two national
parties is so nearly equal that the one at
present in a majority in more than half the
States Of the Union can elect but one man
the other ought to stand a good show with
any one of half dozen aspirantS. The
NelgS and Courier proceeds to state that IN
the next Presidential fight the tariff must be
the issue In such case the issue should
win, not the man. In the Republican party
there are several aspirants who are sound
on the tariff question. What the Republican
party has to avoid is a candidate who is vul-
nerable on other issues though sound on the
dominant one. The contest will be so
nearly even that neither party can afford to
be handicapped. The Republicans want a
man who can poll the full strength Of the
party and a reasonable share of the indie
pendent vote. There will probably be new
plauks incorporated in the party platform.
There will be an immigration plank. per-
haps a silver plank, and possibly plank
defining the attitude the Government should
take respecting the admission of foreign
States that may desire to become a part of
the Union. a candidate should be selected
who can stand squarely on whatever plat
form may be adopted.

THE SILVER CONTROVERSY.

It is not clear that Senator Stewart has
gained anything by reopening the discussion
on the silver question. The present law is
not year old and is working well. There
is a reasonable prospect that under it silver
viii recover is old ratio to gold, when free
coinage may be ordered without creating a
disturbance in values. In discussing silver
coinage Senator Stewart goes over the old
ground, arguing against the single gold
standard. But Stewart ought to know that
in so doing he is eyading the real question.
Comp traiiyely few people now favor the
god standard. The substantial question is
if The double standard shall be approached
through a policy designed &c cause a rise in
silver to the 1j.95S ratio OF whether silver
shall be coined without limit while at dis
count # 20 per cent on its legal ratio. The
inevitable fleet Of free coinage will be a
drop TO the silver standard. 1t cannot pos
sibly be otherwise. The 4l2b grain silver
dollar will be a universal legal tender and
Will become the currency Of general trade,
but there is no law which will compel the
Interchange of gold and silver dollars. So
long as there is difference in the market
value Of the two metals on their legal ratio
sthe deaTer will be held at premium. When
the double standard is fairly established the
increased use Of the cheaper metal because
it is cheaper ould maintain a substantial
equilibrium, but with 30 per cent differ
ence the debtor class would be sub
jected to the loss OF the difference be-
tween gold and silver on all obligations
in which the payment of gold has been
stipulated. a correspondent, after enthu-
siastically tnaGkinE The CALL for its COM
ments on the consequences of free silver
coinage under present conditions, says: A" No
matter what the reason we have no silver
dollar of free coinage. Query, what COM
meTcal value should be put In one to be
coined to circulate at par with gold and pay
gold debts with?" For obvious reasons the
coinage Of a silver dollar to circulate at par
with gold and pay gold debts with is i'm
practicable. Within one week silver has
gone up three cents an ounce. The silver
dollar coined last week containing silver
enough TO make its commercial value equal
to the commercial value Of a gold dollar,
would be this week worth more than gold
dollar. Next week this condition may be
reversed. Silver rises and falls in the mar
ket like wheat or cotton, and will so long as
its value is measured by gold. The silver
men say: "Stamp 412h grains of silver 800
fine a dollar without regard TO fluctuation
in market value" Bat whenever we stamp
all the silver that may be offered at that
rate the gold dollar will be held at pre-
MUM. Such result will be a hardship
upon the debtor class, whose obligations are

NEW LIGHTS on IMMIGRATION.

a report comes from Europe that. while
the Uajted States are considering how to

been many times delayed. was commenced
by Judge Murphy yesterday. Straus is a
young attorney, and is accused of having

turned the money over to the Chief Of Po-
lice and notified him of the attempt to bribe.
