Does This Law Promote Suicide?

II it is true that figures do not lie,
the penal canon in this state against
self slaughter promotes instead of
preventing suicide. In 1881 there
1876 cases reported in New York
city, while in 1890 the number was
239. Each year during the interval
shows AN increase over the previous
onc. The only advantage OF the law
is that it reduces the risk of failure.
Suicide is the ranid transit route to
eternity. with no return tickets, and
the statute simply makes every pas
senger particular to see that he gets
on a through train. Brooklyn Eagle.

POLITICS STATE AND NATIONAL

Brattleboro voters will be called
on to decide between two republican,
one prohibitionist and possibly two
democratic candidates for town re-
preventative.
Voting under the new law is simple
enough 1t is merely matter of ex-
ercising ones discretion and making
ones mark (X) accordingly. And
your next-door neighbor doesn't
know how you vote, unless you tell
him all about it.
The Montpelier republicans have
nominated Capt. o. D. Clark, high
license man, for representative. And
this, too, in the town where the
Kelley Institute is locat Another
candidate is to be put into the field
by the more temperate republicans.
The Farmers Advocate is making
itself very ridiculous these days.
Every issue, politically speaking, is
a growl; and yet nobody-not even
the Advocate-knows what it is
growing about The farmers will
grow very tired of such an advocate
unless its temper improves quickly.
Reports from good many towns
in the state show a mixed condition
of things as regards candidates for
representative, three and four nomi-
nees being in the field in large num-
Der of cases. There will be at least
one good result from this-the vote
