A WHOLE FAMILY COMMITS SUICIDE

A WHOLE FAMILY COMMITS SUICIDE.
Berlin, June 3.-Carl Seeger, a mas
ter painter, with his wife and four
children, committed suicide last night
by taking cyanide of potassium. All
the six unfortunate people were found
dead, and paper signed by the whole
family showed that they had all con-
sented to die by poison. The cause of
this wholesale suicide was the fact that
Seeger was without means.

No NEGROES ALLOWED IN THE TOWN.
The white people of Eastwood, N. j.,
have determined that no negro shall
live within the limits of that town, and,
to secure that object, have resurveyed
it and drawn it's lines so as to exclude
the house of every one of the proscrib-
ed race. No wonder the negroes remain
in the South. They may not get as
high wages here as they do in the
North. and their impudence is not sub
mitted to with as much patience, but
their many delinquencies are overlook
ed, and they are treated with more
kindness at their old homes. and by
the descendants of their old masters,
than any where else--even in the land
of their forefathers, to which soAe of
them, in an evil hour for themselves,
have returned and relapsed into the
barbarous condition of their ancestors.

Appointment OF Road Surveyors.

The road board Of Beverly Manor district
composed of Messrs. Spencer, Crawford AND
Burnett met June LIST, at the supervisors room
in the courthouse. The following surveyors
were appointed for the term of one year, com.
mencing July 1st:

3; NJ. F. Gilkeson and D. w. Speck, for Pre-
cinet No. 4; J. D. Andrews and c. T. Harris,
for Precinct No. 5. The board also fixed and
recommended the rate of levy for district road
purposes for the present at 153 cents on Sl0O
worth of property. This is an increase of
three cents on the hundred dollars. This was
rendered necessary by the decision of the SUI
preme Court of Appeals, the labor and work
done under the old law aggregating some
81, 2o3.Oo, which had to be made up by an ex-
ira levy.

The Hartford Coatrant, paper pub
lished away down yonder in the State
of Connecticut. has caught good idea
and states it as follows: There is a
lot of sober thinking people who be-
lieve in the whipping post. The fear
of physical pain will keep men on their
good behavior, when the prospect of
an easy time in jail, at public expense,
is far away from lettering them; it
rather attracts"
Nothing was ever said that is truer.
If every State had the whipping post
like little Delaware we should have
fewer criminals in the world, and our
people would be relieved of millions of
dollars of taxes that they now have to
pay to feed criminals in our jails and
penitentiaries.- Lunch6urd AdUance..

The War i'm the West.

The coal strikers conduct consists of
acts of war as really as though they
were committed by an organized polit
| zeal community instead of by an Or
ganized industrial community. If any
| county OF town Or city resisted the
sheriffs and the militia, enforced sus
pension of mining and at least a partial
suspension of the railway business.
destroyed property, took prisoners and
negotiated for their exchange. and
used firearms and other weapons, there
would be no question in the mind of
any man that such county, town or
city was in a state of armed insurrec-
ton. The insurrectiOn is none the less
actual because it is committed by a
trades union instead of political
union. The first duty of any govern
ment is to suppress an instruction
raised against it, and the States in
which these outbreaks have occurred
will find that the cheapest course tor
them to pursue is to suppress the dis
order with the least possible delay. 1t
| is true that the later course of legisla-
ton and of judicial decision has been
generally, though not uniformly, in
favor of a wider liberty to stop work
ing and to induce others by peaceful
| means to stop working. The House
Judiciary Committee does not approve
of the order of Judge Jenkins restrain
| ing the employees of railway in Gus
tOdy OF his court from exercising the
right to strike. But neither this nor
any other action by any representa-
| tives or agents OF the people affords
any warrant for the use of force bv
any collection of men for any purpose
except by the Government for the
maintenance of peace and its own au-
| thority. The resort to violence to com
pei the mine operators to give up
money is essentially the same as the
act of a single minor who should meet
single mine operator and by knock
ing him down or threatening his life
should compel him to divide the con
tents of his pocket book The course
of the coal strikers does not differ in
it's character from highway robbery,
except so far as it's greater extent may
afford it a pretext for claiming the
more dignified status of a rebellion.
That law of self defence, which ranks
as. a primal law of nature, will compel
the Government, either Of the State or
the nation, to suppress this sort of con-
duet summarily whether it be small
enough to call robbery or large enough
to cali rebellion.-N Y. Journal of
Commerce.
