ST. LOUIS SEEMS 10 HAVE HAD THE SUICIDAL
MANIA Flooring
About in The Air Yesterday Morning-A Judge
With a $500, goo Libel Suit Against the POST

he Felt That Suicide was Pref
cradle TO Murder.

ST. Louis. August "a most start

gently begun by Judge j. G. Normile'
of the st. Louis Criminal Court, against

forenoon little before - o'clock, in
the suicide by poison Of the plaintiff,

suited i'm the Judge suing the neSpaper

nal libel proceedings against three OF
the papers editors, Florence ID. White
and his assistants, Samuel Williams and
George S. Johns. Yesterday the Judge
went on the stand before a master 10
give testimony in his suits. He was on
the stand most Of the day, and was
much disturbed by the close, sharp Ques-
tioning by the contending counsel.
Investigation showed that the recent
ly occurrence and the criticism had so
borne upon the mans mind that he
could indure il no longer.
A note unsigned, but in the judges
hand writing contained the statement
that he had this morning determined 10
kill Florence ID. White, whose paper
had criticized the administration Of his
court. Preferring suicide 70 murder,
and seeing no other course he had de-
tsrmined on the former, taking poison.

TIE CALL CALENDAR.
THE ONLY REMEDY.

1t is important now, that our citizens nave
urned their attention seriously toward the
buses which are being practiced by the
managers Of the Central and Southern Pa
.ifc railroads, that they should not be mis-
ed into unimpOTtant matters by propos-
ions which are put forth purposely to
nsead them. Primarily there are two
propositions which we must keep in view
I we expect to obtain relief from oppres-
IioDs which are too buTdensOme to be borne,
and which are sapping cur prosperity. 1t is
necessary that communication by water
with the outside world and with the III
terror Of the State should be kept open,
that we should have steamers and sailing
vessels &c take Leayy products from Cali
fOTaia aud to bring Us the products OF for
eign countries in return. 1t is also essential
that our river communications should be
kept open. We say these things are neces-
saTy If san francisco would become a great
End prosperous city, out we have something
more to do before We can expect that meas
ure of success which is due to the iahabi-
.ants # San Francisco and TO California.
We must pat an end TO the tYrannical acts
9f the men who control the railroads. We
must assert cur rights and labor until we
obtain then How is this to be done? By
procuring the passage Of a law regulating
freights and fares on our railroads. This is
the only course for the city and State to
adopt in order to obtain a full measure
Of success. Anything short Of fixed
rates by the Legislature will amount
TO but little. Trying here and there
srifiing eXpedients is only boys play.
The men we have to deal with are unscru-
pulous. They will bleed every interest in
California to put more money in their pock-
ets. Men who use bosses to corrupt our
poIitics-to debauch men in ofice-will do
almost anything to accomplish their pur-
poses. We have seen enough Of their
1oings in the past not to be deceived by
hem any longer. If they find a person
prominent as merchant, who Is trying in
good faith to assist the city and State In
obtaining fair rates, the chances are as ten
. one tact they will approach him, and in
some way silence him, fix him, so that
nothing more will be heard from him. So
If person is prominent in politics, and
engages in an honorable effort to put an
end to practices which are destroying bust
hess, Is lie not straightway approached
by some railroad agent, and perhaps made
an attorney Of the company at a $4,000
salary per annum? II is not necessary for
THE CALL to go into particulars to prove
the truthlulness of what it says, for nearly
every one sees and hears enough TO satisfy
himself Of the fact The railroad company
has in its employ politicians of the worst
description. 1t also uses newspapers, some
of which are subsidized, while others are
owned outright company which has an
immense income by taxing the productive
interests Of the State has money enough
not only to employ politicians, but also to
employ and debauch others.

PEFFER's THREE WAYS.

Senator PETER says there are three WAYS
to meet the labor troubles. One was for the
Government TO keep its hands off; another
Tor the Government 10 establish and regu
late wages. and the third for the Govern
ment to take possession Of private estab-
lishments and conduct them. 1t is not at
all likely that either of Mr.. PETERS three
ways will be adopted. The Government
cannot keep its hands of. Governor Patti
son wanted very much to keep his hands
on, Out the condition of affairs forced him
10 interfere. Neither can the Government
take possession of private establishments
ana conduct them. If this could be dona i'm
the case OF large industries il might he dief
cult TO say which small ones should mt he
subJect to the same rule. The regulation 10
wages by law is perhaps the most nrac,,c
aoie method Of the three, but the question
might arise as to what should be done viii
worklngmen who, unable 10 get the lawful
rates, should work for less. 1t would NOT
do to make honest labor an offense apainst

DIED In THE WATER.
Daniel Harney's Sudden Demise While

Daniel Harney's Sudden Demise While
in Swimming.
Daniel Harvey, the popular young con-
tractor, made a fatal dive into the waters
of the bay at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
His death was not from drowning, but from
natural causes. probably produced by his
sudden immersion into the cold water.
With his friend, George NJ. Woodward of
1912 Market street, Harvey drove out to
Harbor View Park. There he expressed a
desire TO take a swim. aud went in alone
After DOMINIC a bathing suit he went out
TO the end Of the wharf and dove of A
moment later those who had witnessed the
plunge were startled by seeing Harvey float
TO the surface face downward. He dritled
helplessiy on the waves aud an alarm was
raised. There is no life-saying apparatus
at the baths, and several minutes were lost
before an attempt was made to rescue the
swimmer Finally Antonio Capanarvanna.

and succeeded in taking Harvey ashore.
By this time half dozen men had gathered
around the unfortunate man. He showed
some signs OF life, but the usual remedies
for TesuscitatiOn were applied without
avail. Inside of 10 minutes it was evident
that Harvey was dead.
The remains were removed TO the MOrgue.
An autopsy showed that death had been
caused by congestion of the lungs The

SILVER PROPOSITIONS.

The people Of the United States would
welcome any proposition looking to the ap-
probation of silver to its old ratio to gold
They realize that neither metal affords
money enough to form a safe basis of credit,
and consequently desire the Inauguration of
q uollcy which will bring the two metals
together In the market In Mr J. w.
TreadwelPs lecture before the Chamber of
Commerce Thursday night the opinion was
advanced that the retirement of credit paper
by the Government and the substitution of
silver notes in their place would cause the
appreciation OF silver to parity with gold
Mr.. Treadwell finds somewhere 5000, 0OO COO
OF credit money, which, if retired, would
make room for 630,000OOO silver dollars
The method recommended is 10 issue silver
bank notes payable in silver. An objection
10 TINS plan is that it would set up two
xmas OF money of a different value. Per-
sons making contract would necessarily
specify whether gold or silver should he the
unit of value. Under the lazy which makes
the cheaper of two dollars the common
dollar of business, obligations in Which gold
was not specified in payment would be sat
isfed with silver

CLEVELAND AND THE rLATFoRm.

The Democratic national platform de-
claTes any other tariff than one for revenue
only uncOnst tutOnal In Mr.. CleveEapd's
speech of acceptance he said: 1--WE need
not base an attack ION the protection policy
upon questions Of constitutional permission
or legislative power" 1t is evident that
Mr.. Cleveland does not think the Demo-
cratic tariff plank a safe one to 90 into the
campaign with. He does not think the
American people prepared for a party decla-
ration that the protection of American
labor is Institutional. a local tree
trade competitor says that some Democrats
feared or hoped that Mr. Cleveland would
yield to an Impulse to evasion. Mr.. Cleve-
land seems to have evaded the tariff plank in
his party platform rather neatly. Mr.. Cleve-
land further treasures people that the plat.
form has claimed that the Democratic party
is not destructive party. 1t is not reck-
lessly needless Of any American interests.
The assurance is timely. The platform in
dicating that protection policy was IN
constitutional created an impression that
the party was reckless. Mr.. Cleveland tries
to tone the platform down, but it is probable
that majority of American voters will con-
clude that it is safer to put a friend Of
American interests at the head of the Gov

WAGES AND STRIKES.

FTee-trade papers assume that because
there are strikes in the United States the
standard OF wages can be no higher than
elsewhere. 1t is taken for granted that if
an American nottingham knows that he is
getting better wages than his fello W. work
Ingmen in the old countries be will be con-
tent with what he gets. There is another
view Of the question. Two considerations
usually determine a proposition to strike.
First, IS the industry in which the workmen
are engaged sufficiently profitable to war
rant an increase Of wages? second, if the
first IS answered in the Affirmative are the
workmen strong enough TO carry their
p0intP When workingmen are convinced
That their wages are as liberal as the indus
try warrants no strike will be ordered
They know that they cannot compel an
employer to do business at loss. In re-
spect to the second consideration, when
man are convinced that the industry in
winch they are engaged could afford better
wages they consider the probabilities M
success The better the wages. the richer
The organization ordering a strike, the bet
ter the chances of success. One of our free
trade contemporaries says there are only
about ]. 0O0.O 600 of wage-earners in the United
States in The directly protected industries
and that there are 1900, 600 in the unpro-
tected industries. We have not verified
these figures, but if we accept them as true
they prove that the unprotected industries
derive as much benefit from the tariff as
the protected industries. If the latter had
any considerable advantage over the former
there would be movement of workingmen
In the direction of industries which paid
best. 1t has never been claimed of the
tariff that it would give employers all the
profits they would like or employees as high
wages as they would like. No policy has
eYeS~heen devised that gives to everybody
all they want. But it is claimed for the
tarlf1 that 1t enables the employer to embark
IN industries that could not be mxde profit
apie without it. and affords employees better
wages than they can earn elsewhere and
better than they could earn In this country
IL there were no duties on foreign goods.
