When Insurance Agent Wright decided
TO kill himself in Brooklyn the other day he
went to the house of his father and left a
note for the old gentleman bidding him
good-by and declaring his intention to die.
Notwithstanding that the father got the
note and Immediately attempted to dissuade
his son from the fatal resolve the latter
calmly drew a revolver aud proceeded to
blow out his brains while the virtually par
alyzed parent stood a few feet away and
witnessed the whole operation. What could
have caused so prosperous a man to commit
BE- foolishly rash an act is beyond conjecture.
Suicidal mania appears to have taken a
hrm hold upon the people of New York
lately. 1t seems to be growing into the
proportions Of en- epidemic.

Without an effort Chicago stood far
ahead of New York In the balloting for
choice OF cities in which to hold the repub-
hcan national convention-notwithsta
ing the strenuous exertions and vociferous
Boosting OF the men Of Gotham. Possibly
the New York delegates were hoodooed by
the irresistible Editorial Freak Shepa I'd.
That is about the only plausible way of ac-
counting for the positively laughable way
in which they were SO completely ''lost in
the shuttle" as it were.

Georgia and the Worlds Fair.

Practically nothing is being done by the
people Of Georgia toward having their
state represented at the worlds fair. 1t
must be said in justice to the commissioners
for the state that they have done all they
can TO induce the people to take an in
terest in the fair and prepare an exhibit, but
they have met with little or no encourage
ment They have had favorable responses
to their suggestions and appeals, but moth
ing has been done, and from present indica-
tions nothing will be done.
No doubt the railroads would be willing to
contribute literally, and it is probable that
the trade bodies, the manufacturing enter
prises and the agricultural associations
would lend helping hand, but they will do
nothing until some sort Of organization is
effected, and there are satisfactory evil
dences that an earnest effort is to be made to
get up an exhibit worthy of the state.
Nothing can be done, however, without
money. But where is the money to come
froms There are very few who would con-
tribute more than a few dollars unless they
would be benefited by having Georgia
represented at the fair. And they would
contribute nothing at all unless they could
be assured that the exhibit would be one of
which Georgians would not be ashamed.
Ithas been suggested that at the approach
ing gathering of the newspaper editors of the
state at Macon some plan might be devised
for raising sufficient amount to Justify
beginning the work of collecting articles for
an exhibit. The suggestion seems TO be a
good one. 1t ought at least to be acted
upon.
Georgia is the Empire state of the south.
She is making rapid progress in prosperity
and material wealth, and she cannot afford
to have it said that her people were not en-.
terprising enough to take part in the fair.
| Thousands of Georgians will visit the fair
and ifthey see there no exhibit from Geor.
| gia their pride will be wounded and they
/ will feel that their state is falling behind IL
the race for prosperity.
If an earnest effort should be made to
arouse interest in the fair it is more than
/ probable that an exhibit could be collected
that would save the state from the charge
/ of lacking In enterprise.

The Corn's Soliloouy.


Talk is talk.
But it takes heatto ripen corn,
If people want corn-meal,
Corn cakes. corn dodgers,
Hasty pudding, and flapjacks,
They must sweat for them,
You cannot eat your cake,
And have 1t, too;
No more can you have your corn
And not perspire.
IL | can stand it, you can,
To sweat is noble, and
To perspire is divine.
But enough is enough,
And know when am ripe,
Though food for hogs,
am no hog myself.
The corn crop is made,
No frost can harm and
No blight can hurt it.
The corn is fully ripe.
Therefore, / am content,
Turn off the heat.

Out in South Dakota the important ques-
ton whether or not an Indian can be legal
boudsman fer another recently came up in
the United States district court at Pierre
In the trial Of one Touched for an at
tempted murder of Wooden Horn. Ac-
cording to his ruling Judge Edgeron is of
the opinion that an Indian is not a legal
man for the reason that he is a ward Of the
government and not citizen. Consequently
he is held to be subject to the consent Of the
government even in the disposition of the
live stock he may own. Yet our national
constitution emphatically declares that 1--WE
hold to be self-evident" that ''all men are
born free and equal" By amendment this
is averred to ''tUithout regard to race, color
or previous condition" Possibly Judge
Edgeron knows so very much law that he

OSTER ON SILVER.

Secretary Fosters speech before the New
York Chamber of Commerce is the first off,
cisl declaration that body has heard that
gold alone is too narrow a base upon which
TO build the worlds financial structure"
A gold paper in New York has kept stand
ing in its editorial columns quotations from
Secretary Windows speech before the
Chamber last year, but it is not probable
that The opinion we have quoted from Fos-
ter will be honOred In the same way. Eos
ter argues that the present silver act, if not
fnterfered with. Will bring silver up TO
parity with gold. Mr.. Foster says that if
the price of silver should be advanced from
81 an ounce tG ST % all the silver in the
world for sale would be attracted to this
country So il would, if the advance should
be made by law. But if it comes gradually
through the natural appreciation in price
consequent upon an increased use of the
metal there would be little or no silver for
sale. If there could be an assurance that
silver would rise to 81 % an ounce within
three years, none would be offered at n less
rate except by sreculators who might hope
to profit by fluctuations. The bulk of the
worlds silver would be held for the ultimate
price of 81 90 an ounce. The remark may
be offered, however, that it is not possible
to advance silver by law to 81 % an ounce.

Blu ESS PRO SPECTS.

People who complain of the dullness of
trade in California must find it difficult to
reconcile their gloom with the facts. On
every side substantial reasons are visible for
a good winter business season. The ex-
port Of wheat has been above the average
both in quantity and in money value. No.
! shipping wheat Is realizing 81 50 per CEN
tai, and the enormous amount of tonnage in
port ensures fair transportation rates. Cali
forn;a will supply Europe, during the pres
ent wheat year, with $50, 000 tons of wheat,
for which something like S23, 600, 600 will be
paid. Our barley crop will be bountiful,
and has realized something like 81 10 all
round. The movement of fruit, fresh and
dried, has been larger than ever known,
though the prices have not been high enough
to satisfy growers. AS was expected, the
wool clip is smaller than usual, and the
price low; as the orchards encroach upon
the sheep walks, the production of wool
must diminish, and less attention will be
paid to it's quality. But the diminution Of
receipts from this source has been more
than offset by increased receipts from
new products.

THE GRAND JURY on SOCIAL EVILS.

The Grand Jury Committee on Social
Evils has made vigorous report on the
condition of portions Of the city, which
are only seen in their real colors after dark.
The report. while admitting that vice can
not be entirely stamped out claims that it
can be regulated. 1t recommends high
license as means Of reducing the number
OF places in which liquors are sold, and
ventures upon the still more radical sug-
geStion that forms of vice which experience
has shown will survive all methods of re-
preston shall be made to contribute to the
clty's treasury. The suggestion is not new,
but can hardly be said to be growing in
favor. All American cities recoil from the
idea of making vice source of revenue. 1t
may be said that requiring keepers OF I'M
foreground places of amusement to take out
licenses is indirectly imposing tax upon
vice. But the object of the license is to
place tie authorities in position to close
up places which fall below moral stand
ard. The report of the Grand Jury shows
that the authorities do not exercise the
power the law gives them. They license
places which are conducted from wear to
year in open disregard of municipal ordi
nances. The Board of Supervisors ard the
Chief of Police can establish any standard
OF decency which may seem to them desira
pie y len places are closed up which dis
regard rules and regulations for their con-
duet, proprietoIs of such places would con-
form to such rules and regulations. An ex-
ample Of what wise ordinances and police
force can do is found in the comparative
freedom of our principal street from scenes
which are common in respectable streets in
European and Eastern cities. The weak
point in the management of forbidden mat
tiers is the discretion lodged in the Police
Department. Policemen on certain beats
are permitted TO see or not to see, as the
particular case under consideration may
seem 10 warrant Officers are paid one
hundred dollars month to enforce the law,
and it is thought that in some cases they
are paid three hundred dollars, more or
less, not to enforce it. Police officers do
not average much better or much worse
than other men. They are above the aver
age of Our last Legislature. but are still be-
low the moral standard which might carry
them unscathed amid such temptations.
When the laws and ordinances we have are
fairly well enforced, the condition result
ing viii show what new ordinances, if any,
are needed. Possibly the existing ordi-
nanceS do not cover all the points that
thorough good municipal government should
guard, but the enforcement Of ordinances IS
50 loose that comparatively few people
know whether an admitted evil is the result
of lack Of legislation or the result OF letting
laws become obsolete from non enforce
ment.
