Views of the Ex-Secretary of the Navy
on the Recent Elections.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE World will to-
morrow print a letter from ex-Secretary Of
the Navy Whitney giving his views of the
recent elections. He says:
Last Tuesdays voting was, in my opin-
ion, negative; not positive. The result was
triumph. The people had M intention of
cred reputation of vicious Republican pol
and cannot be blamed for expressing their
dissatisfaction with existing conditions, so
they voted against the party in power. 1t
is true that the Democratic power was not
responsible for the conditions, but they ex-
listed nevertheless. The party TO suffer was
necessarily the party in power. 1t had had
no opportunity to put in force a new policy
and show the beneficial effect, but diScon-
tent from whatever cause is visited natural
ly upon the party in power. The check in
view should be, and l believe will be, bene-
fetal in result. After such a period of dis
trust as we have just experienced, the sta
bility and conditions of trade are the first
essential of a return to prosperity. Congress
owes it to the country not only to reform
the tariff, but TO reform 1t at once in a
conservative and capable spirit, and at once
emp of all party pledges is neceS-
sary, but quick redemption of this greatest
Of party pledges is more than necessary,
more than sound policy, more than wise
craftsmanship. 1t is a patriotic duty. In ac-
cordance with the speed and wisdom with
which this duty will be discharged will, in
my view, be the future of the Democratic
party"

A SUICIDE EPIDEMIC
Seven Attempts in the Last Week,
Some of Them Successful.
The Example Set by One Suicide Seems
to Be FOllowed-Some of
the Cases.

An unaccountable mania for suicide
seemed to pervade the city during the last
week or ten days, and scarcely a day
passed but one or more persons. weary OF
life from some cause or other, attempted
or was successful in crossing 10 the great
unknown. The suicides and attempted sui
cides are not confined to one class, though
they seem to be more prevalent in the
lower element of society and among aban-
doned women. The causes are varied, and
in some instances are only arrived at by
conjecture. Whether some are rompte
to seek surcease of sorrow by the example
of others or not can only be surmised. but
such would seem to be the case at this
time. Brooding over real or fancied trou-
bles is responsible for the most of them,
and in many cases the trouble is caused
by too much confidence in a lover who has
proven recreant 10 the trust reposed in
him. Nearly all the cases are among the
weaker sex, and but one is reported of a
young man who hurried himself prema-
turely into the other world.
During the past week seven cases of sui
eide or attempts have been reported, and
three of these occurred upon the same
day. The papers of the date of Nov. IL
contained accounts of two unsuccessful at
tempts at seif-destruction and one case
where the person had succeeded in her at
tempt. All of them were women and two
of them were caused by 1nfaithful lovers.
Dora Robbins, aged twenty-five years, re-
siding on East Washington street, did not
desire to live with the knowledge that her
lover had proven untrue. and succeeded in
hurrying up death, who comes too soon
to most. mortals. Sadie SpragUe, also resid-
siding on East Washington street,
aged twenty-three years, made two

years, residing on Norris street, endeavored
to swallow enough morphine and chioro-
form to take her from this vale of tears.
The cause given was dependency, but no
reason was alleged for the dependency
residing on West Market street, was sue
ceSSful in her attempt TO relieve herself of
the burden of living. In her case it was
said her manner of life caused dependency
which led to the suicide. Curley Williams,
a wholly abandoned woman, forty years of
age, took morphine and died in a house on
North Liberty street. She was a drunk

hopeless of reform, ended her miserable ex-
ME Pierce took her own life on Saturday,
Nov. 1, and ii is supposed that dependency
over love affairs led her to commit the act
OF Self-deStruction. She was a married
woman and had an infant child, which was

one of the most deplorable cases was that
of young Robert Reynolds, who committed
suicide last Saturday morning, just after
arising from bed, by firing q bullet into his
brain. 1t seems that he feared he would

A HORRIBLE FIND.
Five Dead Bodies Found Floating in
the Missouri River.
They Were Dumped Into Box, and
Marks on the Bodies Indicate That
They Were Murdered.

ST. JOSEPH. March 21.-This afternoon
Cumpton Corey, hunter, was out on a
sand bar few miles below this city duck
shooting, when he noticed a large dry
goods box floating down the stream. He
towed the box to the bar and finding it
lightly nailed broke it open, when to his
horror a dead body rolled out. He sum-
moned help, and an investigation dis
closed horrible state of affairs.
In the box was five bodies, all in a ter
ribly decomposed condition. Four bodies
were piled in the box on top of the other,
as if done hurridly, while the fifth was
alone. Four of the bodies were those Of
men, and the other that OF woman. The
bodies were so badly decomposed that
recognition was impossible. From the
marks it is supposed the people were
murdered and then set adrift on the river.
Coroner Reynolds is holding an inves-
tigation, and the utmost excitement pre-
walls here. A couple of months ago a
family disappeared near Rulo, q town
about forty miles up the river, and it is
supposed the bodies found are those of
the missing people.

ROME, March 21.-A short time after
the explosion last night of the bomb at

explosion occurred in the city, being the
third outrage of the kind within the city
proper in less than week. Last nights

of great anxiety in Vatican circles in view
