Suicide and INSANITY.

An epidemic of suicide has prevailed
in Buda Pesth and other Hungarian
towns lately. In Buda Pesth alone
seven suicides occurred in one day
some two weeks ago. The number of
cases of insanity is also increasing so
rapidly that the hospitals and asylums
are crowded. Physicians ascribe both
phenomena to the scarcity of pure wine
since the phylloxera, in consequence
OF which the people drink made-up
liquid composed of substances perni-
cious to the brain.

too, has not missed day of the session,
and has in season and out of season
fought for repeal. At times it would
not have been surprising if the major
had committed personal violence upon
some of the more aggressive silver SEN
ators. His daily expression has been,
II have no patience with those silver
idiots"-a fact not at all remarkable
when it is known that in his nervous
moods he has no very great amount of
patience with anything that smacks of
ignorance, or imbecility, or dishonesty.
1t has not been alone the fool friends of
free coinage that has troubled MI. Bald
win. The fourth assistant postmaster
general has also annoyed him; the com
missioner of the general land
office has crossed him, and even
the secretary of the interior
has at times excited him. 1t is no use.
major. The other fellows in this world
are mighty neutrality-suspicious. to do
just what we want them to do.
Maj. Baldwin has never said so, but it
looks very much as though he would be
pleased to be returned as a member of
the Fitty-fourth congress. The atmo-
sphere in this latitude and longitude fits
his lungs. The activities of congress
suit mis- character, which demands
do without being member of congress,
but If his party does not nominate and
his people re-elect him next year, the
Sixth district will lose the services of
very energetic, thoroughly able, and
an exceptionally honest man.
POPULIST BOEN.
Now there is nobody remaining on
the list except Populist Boon. He was
the single representative from Mime
sofa who voted against the passage of
repeal. He stood firmly by his coIors
throughout. did not go to the Chicago
exposition, and was always on hand.
Boon has some queer ideas; is proud to
assert that he is the only farmers rep
resentative from the great agricultural
state of Minnesota; is entirely filed up
with the financial vagaries of his class
of amateur statesmen, and is prolific III
his assertion and self-assertion. The
member from the Seventh district is not
an imbecile, and there is much method
in the madness he assumes. Mr.. Boen,
too, wants to come back to congress
next time, and, barring Donnelly, he
may possibly succeed. But voX populi
is painfully uncertain.

lation, and it was no wonder that he de-
sired to exhibit that talent upon the
broad platform of the national house of
representatives. But the fateS, and
some elements OF his own party, were
combined against him. Finally. after
the frosts of age had begun to silver his
brow. when the hot blood of youth was
chilling in his veins, the coQuettish
honor came knocking at his door. The
nomination of his party was in 1892
given unanimously to Mr.. Fletcher. He
made most excellent campaign, and
was elected.
Michael Doran, of st. Paul; when in
Washington two or three months ago,
met Mr.. Fletcher surrounded by a
crowd of politicians. He saluted the
Minneapolis statesman and then said ::
Its good job you have now, Mr..
Fletcher. It's wonder to me that you
did not come to congress long ago when
YOU were young and ambitious" 1t was
excellent irony. Your Uncle Loren
Ionged to come when he was young, but
his Republican friends would not have
it. He will probably retire on his laurels
on the 4th of March. 1895, go to Europe

also established record as one of the

StOck MARKET CiOSeQ In De-
pressed Condition, Showing an
Average Decline for the Week
of Seven Points-Reactiona
Movement Caused by Smooth
Work OF Manipulators.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4. = Expectation of
another large increase in the visible
supply and Bradstreet's statement that
the worlds visible supply on Nov. l
was 172, 100000 bu-or the largest ever
weakened wheat today so that 1t went
over lie from yesterdays close.
Corn was firm, and resisted for long
time the effect of the declining wheat
market, but finally yielded slice, and
closed at that loss since yesterday.
Oats acted as did corn. and only yield
ed 1-16c OF its value as at the close of
the previous day.
Provisions felt the neaviness Of the
wheat market, and lost all they gained
yesterday.
Everything seemed to be against the
price Of wheat. Holders were urgent
sellers, and the result was heavy,
dropping market from start to finish.
The receipts in the Northwest were
again decidedly heavy. and seemed to
put an end to all talk of early decrease
in that quarter, the hope of which
proved SO much of a bull factor yester-
day.
December opened at 635Sc, or &c be-
low yesterdays close, and sold off grad
ually to 1c worse, closing without a ma
teriaI rally at 625sc. May sold from
793sc early, fell &c and closed at 695s@
roc, showing 118c below yesterdays
close. 1t is asserted by some of the
oldest in the trade that wheat at 625sc
December and 691sc May was at lower
point than touched for these months on
the crop or for thirty years past.
Corn was fairly active early in the
day, and receipts being so cars less than
expected, climbed 1l@35c. Later there
was some realizing by the long" inter-
ests, and, in sympathy with the weak
ness in wheat. the gain was more than
lost, May closing &c lower than its open
ing.
Oats experienced good day owing to
heavy buying by yesterdays leading
sellers. May opened sc higher than
yesterdays close, and going up during
the day another 7sc, but, feeling the
weakness of wheat, it dropped back to
yesterdays close of 321lc.
In the provision market an undertone
of steadiness was developed on the
frmpess in corn, but the slump in
wheat caused decline. compared with
last night. January pork closed sc
lower. January lard 15c to the worse,
and short rib sides lie lower.
Freights were slow, with plenty of
vessel room offered. Rates were easier,
at 1$4c for wheat and 11ac for corn to
Buffalo.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 200 cars; corn, $40 cars; oats, 200
cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

remain silent. Inc SENATOR DAVIS.
speechmaking, therefore, was mainly
done by those who considered it their
duty to oppose the passage of the repeal
bill. This will probably account for the
remarkable. continued and noteworthy
silence Of the senior senator
from Minnesota Mr.. Davis was
not alone among prominent SEN
ators who watched and said
nothing. Senator Villas from Wiscon-
