Suicide is quite frequent in this
country, and, whether the effect of
heredity or other cause, it is appar-
emily mania with some. To lake a
pessimistic view of the matter, and ad-
vocate the theory that those who de-
sire to take their own lives have per
feet right to do SO, and benefit the
community by SO doing, would be cruel
and heartless It cannot be said, in
any condition of life, that one does not
owe duty to his fellow man, and by
depriving himself of existence he vio-
lates one of the rules of the civil com.
pact which underly the superstructure
of all governments. There is no doubt
that, under many circumstances, life
may become burdensome to the indi-
vidual, and suicide desirable; but he
owes duty to society which he should
consult as much as his own comfort,
and this will lmpel him to bear his
own burdens heroically. This may
not appear reasonable when applied to
him who is physical and mental
wreck; but even in such cases the
social compact cannot be entirely
obliserated. He may have become
degraded by his own excesses, and
when to other crimes he adds self
murder he increases his ofienses
against God and man.

A serious Landslide.

SEATTLE, March ga serious land
slide on the Great Northern's coast line, a
short distance north of Edmonds, on the
shore of Puget sonnd, killed Robert Ba-
ker and seriously injured Charles Rode
aud Frank Kelly. The first slide occurred
about o'clock Tuesday night, and g
gang on hand-car had gone down from
Everett to clear it away. They had Just
finished about 1890, when they heard
premonitory rumbllng of another and ran
to the right and left. Rode and Kelly,
fearing they could not get away in time,
ran to the edge of the bank and jumped
over the bulkhead into the sound. 1he
slide came after them, and they were
pinned down in the shallow water by the
earth and logs. Rode had his right leg
broken in two places, and suffered a Sc
we're shock. Kelly had his face badly
cut and his right knee injured. The rest
of the gang bad just returned to work
when another slide came down, and they
had to run again. The hand car and
Baker were buried under mass of earth.
His body has not yet been recovered.
The track for $50 feet is buried under
earth, trees and stumps to the depth of
from 25 to so feet, and the telegraph line
was swept into the sound for 900 feet.
About 10 other slides have occurred on
the shore between Edmonds and Everett,
and the road will be blocked for several
days. Passengers are being carried by
boat.

The Cause of Labor.

New York, March 29-Samuel Com
pers, WHO reached this city yesterday
from Detroit, was asked what he bad to
say about the decisions of Judge Rlcks,
of Toledo, and Judge Billings. of New
Orleans, regarding the illegality OF strikes
and boycOtts. He said: "rhey show
that there Is an agreement among Judges,
or, at least, tacIt understanding, to at
tack the labor organizations of the coun-
try. In my opinion. the decision of
Judge Kicks was called forth by the re-
ports set afoat last year that a general
strike durlng the worlds fair was con-
templated by railroad men Where the
report emenated from is more than I can
say, but am positive that such move
was not contemplated by organized labor
or any branch of it. 1 an rather In
clined to the opinion that it came from
the managers of railroads for a purpose,
and that purpose we now see in the al
most simultaneous decisions of Judges
Kicks and Taft and Billings. The plain
purpose of the judges is to prevent the
strikes by law. These decisions In no
wise guarantee that the companies may
not lock Ou. or discharge at will, or that
they will not enforce a reduction of
wages"

The death of Col. Shepard in New
York from the administration of
anssthetics emphasizes the fact that
these are not always harmless. For
surgical operations they have marked
wonderful improvement in the So
called science of medicine; but while
they alleviate pain when person is
under the surgeons knife, they are
sometimes dangerous to persons of GER
tain physical conditions. Physicians
cannot exercise too great caution in
their administrator, and must be held
accountable for any carelessness in this
regard,

Gov. Pennoyer IS consistent in stat
ing that deputy U. S. marshals have
no right to be sent to Drain to protect
the Japanese laborers. He is state
rights Democrat, and as such he
follows the doctrine of his party in
denounclng the interference of federal
authorities in any local trouble. At
any rate, the United States have not
been called upon to quell this disturb
ance, and until that is done it is ex-
pected that the state is equal to the
emergency. This was the case in the
Pittsburg riots in 1878, and federal
troops were not ordered to the scene
until the governor of Pennsylvania
telegraphed the president that he was
powerless to enforce the law. With
our we'll drilled National Guard,
as they should be by the
liberal appropriation of the last legis-
lature, it should be expected that they
could protect a few Mongolians from
the infuriated railroad laborers in
Southern Oregon. Even a sheriff's
posse should be equal to this emer-

The strikers.

TOLEDO. O., March 2S-At the OPEN
ing of court this morning Judge Kicks
stated that, lnasmuch as the cases of the
Lake Shore engineers and those of The
Ann Arbor road we're of similar nature,
and both were very important, Judge
TAFT would decide both not later than
Monday next. Grand Chief Arthur then
took the witness stand. In answer to
questions, he said he had no knowledge
about the order Of the court bearing on
the case He did not read 1t in the daily
newspapers. He said he might haye
heard it, but it was never brought to his
notice. He said all the notices sent out
to chairman of the various committees
notifying them of the strike on the Ann
Arbor road were sent out by him. He
declared he could not order Il strike with
out the consent of the general committee,
The men were not obliged to obey his
orders. He merely gave them advice
They could do as they pleased about taxi,
ing it. This closed the evidence, and
argument On behalf of the Aon Arbor
Company began.
At the conclusion of the argument,
Judge Kicks announced be would render
his decision April 8.

In the matter of the location of the
branch insane asylum, while every
confidence is placed in the judgment
of the governor, secretary of state and

some attention should be paid to the
physician in charge of the institution
in Salem and his medical assistants.
Climate Is a consideration Of the great
est Importance regarding the treat
ment Of these unfortunate persons,
and care should be taken that the loca-
ton of the Eastern Oregon branch
should possess every stipulant to
health. frequently the disease of thepa-
tients yield to hygienic treatment, and
when the bodily ailments are cured
the mind resumes its normal condition.
The Dalles has every facility in this
regard, and is willing to abide by the
decision of any board of physicians or
of the members of the commission
Our people have made no great effort
for the location of the asylum, being
firmly convinced that the officials
named IN the bill would arrive at
Just conclusion, with due reference to
the benefits to he derived by the un-
fortunate persons who are interested.
When the governor and treasurer
visit this city there will be fair pre-
of our advantages; but no

Judgment by considerations which do
not enter into an eleemosynary view of
