PUBLIC OPINION.
THE QUARREL IN NEW YORK.

THE QUARREL IN NEW YORK.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
1T is very pretty quarrel as 1t stands
that between the adherents of Cleve-
land and Hill in the Empire State. 1t
has been brought about through faction
al interference in the speakership con-
test, and it may yet have the effect of
forcing the Democratic Convention to
give New York the cold shoulder and
seek candidate elsewhere. Mr.. Mills
on the one hand, and Messrs. German
and Brice on the other, have contributed
largely to the difficulty of the situation,
but Tammany is the chief distnrber
Although New York is essential to
Democratic success next yerr, it cannot
be relied upon with any degree of GER
tainty should either Cleveland or Hill
be nominated, nor can a western man
be named who would have any better
prospect of carrying the State with
Cleveland and Hill, and their ardent and
influential supporters, all ont in the
cold
The st. Louis Republic, which is deeply
exercised over the defeat of Mills, thinks
the worst that can happen, as result
of the factional contest in New York,
is that the convention will be unable to
give serious attention to the claims of
any New York candidate. Says our
contemporary: "Mr. Hill has never
shown strength outside of new York,
but the question here is only OF his
ability to carry New York, if he were
nominated, and it is clear that he can
not possibly do that, after he and his
friends have forced a mo quarter ven
delta with Mr.. CleVeland's personal fol
lowing, among whom there are thousands
50 embittered against Hill already that
Mr.. Cleveland himself could not possibly
control their votes for Hill by his utmost
efforts At no time has Mr.. Hill been
further from the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency than since the close
of the contest for the speakership, and
at no time before that event has he had
the least chance for it. As a Presidential
candidate he could not now poll 75 per
cent. of the vote cast in New York for
Cleveland in 1885,"
If this estimate of the quarrel is any
thing like correct, Cleveland and Hill
are practically out of the Presidential
contest already. As to Mr.. German,
however, he may rank personally and as
an adept in practical politics, the con-
vention is not likely to go to Maryland
for candidate. 1t would really seem
as though Tammany had put the fat in
the fire so far as 1.-The pivotal State" is
concerned, and if it shall so turn out it
will not be the first time in which the
chiefs of that barbarous organization
have brought defeat upon their party.

Some Causes OF Suicide.
I'll - L

Besides imitation there are other social inhu-
ences which lead to suicide, but the most power
fu Is that which we denote by tho general
term, civilization. SciEkIlluE is emphatically
the crime Of intellectual peoples. Almost uu-
known 10 sayages, rare among Mahometans,
ii RACES among the nations most advanced in
culture and refinement with a herceness ex-
sctly proportional to their mental development.
IL a. said that Rome knew nothing Of this curse
till after the establishment Of the Empire. 10
was when the Roman legions had carried their
eagles triumphantly through the world, aud
brought back the means Of luxury in the spOis
of Europe, Asia, aud Africa that life in the
Eternal City began 10 DO weary, stale, fiat,
and improbable"
To-day the Germans, who are the pTOfoundest
thinkers and the most cultivated people, are
also tho most suicidal race in Europe. France
comes next, England hrh, Italy aud Hungary
fourth; while, on the other hand, Spain. the
most backward Of European nations in culture,
ireland, Portugal, Corsica, and Dllmatia rank
the lowest in the suicidal scale. OF the diHer-
ent regions Of the same country, the north and
northeast Of France outranS in culture aud in
suicide the center aud southwest; the north
and center of Italy outrank the south aud the
| islands; aud SaXOuy, which IN its schools aud
general culture SURPRISES the rest of Germany.
sHFpasscs il also in the namber of it, suicides.
In short, 50 universally does the rule hold that
the strength Of the tendency to self killing
may almost be regarded as an index 10 a
peoples civilization.

is 90 complete as distinctly 10 influence the
course Of their illnesses.
Indirectly il docs so In tho following way /:
When Sdi-boy incurs, for instance, a wound
on hisleg he thinks that IL Allah wills that this
should get well its healing is certain, but If
the divine wish Is otherwise. no human skill
or care can do one iOta Of good on this &C

IT,; but in his heart he dcspses surgical treat
ment. Clearly, then, the proEnosis with such
a case is much worse than IL would DO In other
subjects.
The same argument applies with much
greater force 10 medical cases, on account Of the
childlille ignorance which exists among such
people as 70 what disease actually means
This extreme and apathetic dependence on
fate forms the greatest difficulty with which
the physician has 10 contend. 10 speaks well

Lren Picture Of Gen. sherman.

In an Interesting paper on Gen. sherman S
march 10 the sea and through the Carolinas,
read 10 the Montauk Club, of Brooklyn, Col.
VIM. Hemstrcet gave this vivid memOry-p picture
/ Of his old commander:
a mere sight of the man was always an
inspiration, not that he was pompOus or self

leader. The prime Of life, an erect form, a
deeply -furrowei, harsh and grim face, voice

and strong, striding step made up his per.
sonal appearance lie Always reminded Inc of
an eagle. lie never wore a sword or belt, nor
! buttOned his coat lie had less uniform on
! than any man ia the army. IL was common
| when the columns We're at halt for him TO
walk along the sides OF the road with both
/ hands in his trousers pockets talking to who
! ever was nearest him, officer, private soldier
or negro servant. And he always talked sense (;
/ there were no patronizing airs used by men
! who are elevated above their natural station.
| One felt lifted up aud instructed by his con-
verse. lie commanded his army easily, with
out hesitation or a moment of furry or doubt.
4 His mind Erasped all things, from mending a
| harness, telling a tree, or making mud
/ Up TO grand tactics or political aud economical
administration. He never made mistakes.
/ Washington, Scott aud Grant had their de-
! tractors among their own army and their own
! people, but Sherman had not. We who wero
with him assume to know him best His pOpu-
! larity amounted 10 as near worship as Ameri-
cans can feel for a man, and yet he was not
sweet and complaisant, but bluI, clear, sincere,
just, quick, truthful, wise. practical, and above
all, grandly patriotic. His national feeling was
his greatest feature. IL was enthusiastic, old
fashioned, classical Ii made him an allegOry

1t was that as much as anything else that
brought him success, AS il was with Grant and
Sheridan. That WAS the unquenchablo fire
that inspired their faculties and their armies

from his scalp 10 toes, aud lit up his army. Ii

Theology Fortified by Science.
IPoplUar Science M0nihV.l


10 may indeed be now said that the thinking
leaders Of theology have come 10 accept the
conclusions Of science regarding the origin Of
language as against the old explanations by
myth aud legend. The result has been bless
ing both % science and 10 religion. No harm has
beer done 10 religion; what has been done is 10
release IL from the clog OF theories, which
thinking men saw could no longer be main
tanned. No matter what has become Of the
naming OF the animals by Adam, the origin Of
the name OF Babel. the fea~s Of the Almighty
lest men might climb up into his realm above
the ornament, the confusion OF tongues and
the dispersion Of nations; the essentials Of
Christianity, as taught by its Blessed Founder,
have simply been freed, by comparative PHI
lOloEy, from one more great incubus aud in
cumbrasCe, and have therefore been left 10
work with more power upon the hearts, minds,
and conduct Of mankind.
Nor has any harm been done 10 tho Bible.
On the contrary, it has been made, by this new
divine revelation through science all the more
precious 10 us Ia these myths and legends
caught from earlier civilizations, VIC see an
evolution Of tho most important religious aud
moral truths for our race. Myth, legend, and
parable seem, IN obedience 10 a divine law the

successfully evolved, ever in higher aud higher
