The Atlanta Constitution las
a very timely editorial upon the
importance OF reading good
books; Just as much so as eating
good food. Introduce poison into
the stomach and the man dies.
Let a man take something sim
liar to poison into his mind,
and it wrecks or kills him.
The Constitution ulludes 70
the fact that the other day in
Kansas City, Charles Durgin
committed suicide because a
gloomy chapter in one of Bull
wer's novels had thrown him
into a morbid condition of de-
spondeney.
The Constitution then argues
that If the inside facts about
suicide could be definitely as.
certained, it is quite probable
that many cases would resemble
Durgin's. When a man looks
on the dark sideof life, or reads
everything that is horrible and
gloomy in literature, he becomes
in the course Of time practically
insane. If Durgin had made IL
a point to read bright and cheer
full books he would have been
so well satisfied with his sur.
roundings and prospects that
be would have been in no hurry
TO shuttle off this mortal coil.
One Of the greatest mistakes
that a man can make Is to rea
a bad book or a bad newspaper.
The effect is to bring him to
the conclusion that life Is not
worth living, and whom a per-
son has once reached this point
there isalways a probability Of
suicide. But the happy, laugh.
ing philosopher--the optimist
who always looks on the bright
side-never commits the crime
of self murder. Bad literature
is filling our asylums, jails and
grayeyards. Il would be bet
ter for the masses TO fall back
into the illiteracy Of their an.
cestors than 10 spend their time
reading the vicious trash which
is now found at every news
stand.

said Gen. John R. Clark, of
Missouri, ex Clerk of the House

Gin Ohio the Republican put

WEDNESDAY, Nov. II. 1891.

when it is remembered that il
took the whole Republican
party, including Secretary Eos

The result in Massachusetts

A Clear Statement.


Ex-President Cleveland is
taking an active and possibly
somewhat of a selfish interest in
the present campaign. He made
a number of speeches i'll New
York and two in Massachusetts,.
There is no doubt of the fact
that he is looking to a renomina-
ton. He telegraphed his con-
gratulations to Governors Rus
sell and Boies and his condo
Iences to Governor Campbell.
But the ex-President is prob
ably not mourning so much over
the defeat of Campbell, who
might have been a possible RI
val, as to make him inconsol-
able. 1t is very certain that
Governor Gray, of Indiana, is

they sought to make. They
