Col. Robert Ingersoll's recent article
on suicide incites Northern newspa-
per to repeat the trite and never sub
stantiated assertion, that when self
destruction is not the result of insanity,
it is of cowardice." Why, some of the
wisest and bravest men have commit
ted suicide, when in the full possession
of all their mental faculties. And con-
ditions may be readily imagined in
which death is so infinitely preferable
to life that those who attain it by their
own hands evince the soundest sense,
instead of the lack of it; and it is pat
emily absurd to say that man afraid
of death, will deliberately take his own
life.-AleI. Gazette.

EARTHQUAKES IN SICILY.-PaleTmO,
Sicily, Aug. S.--Earthquake shocks
were felt this morning at Aci Beale and
at Zaffarano. At the latter place six
people were Killed and several injured.
Earthquake shocks were also felt at
Catania and elsewhere near Mount
Etna.
Nearly all the houses at Zaffarano
were left in ruins by the earthquakes.
The shocks were also very severe at
Aci San Antonio, seven miles west of
Aci Reale, and scarcely a house in the
town was left, standing. -Four persons
were killed and ten were injured. The
disaster would have been much more
serious had not the people been at
work in the fields at the time.

Mr.. Hills bill for the exclusion and
deportation of anarchists strikes us as
a very good measure. OF course an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, but if we find it impossible to
keep these enemies of humanity from
landing on our shores there ought to
be no difficulty. after they are once
found to be dangerous, in sending them
back to the land whence they came.
Doubtless there will be many to pro-
test that the spirit of the bill is not in
accord with the spirit of our institu-
tions. But these protests will not have
weight. Our institutions were not de-
signed tor the protection of assassins,
nor was it ever intended that we should
offer asylum to the cut threats and
dynamiters OF Europe, who would wage
war against our form of government as
quickly as they would against the
monarchies from which they have
been expelled. -IndeC-Appedl.

would advise l. d. not to offer him
$500 for his interest in the paper for

There is no danger of my offering
the land-grabber $500, or five cents,
for his interest in that paper or It's

the land-grabber puts "Harry Saint

double standard o f gold and silver as money

value. is now one Of the foremost issues in
the minds Of the voters of Nebraska: and
that the change frem the double to the

come when tAe welfare Of the party in this
state imperatiyely demands a plain, une-
quivocal statement Of the party on that
subject.
Therefore we, the undersig ned Democrats

ing the double standard doctrine IN the
Democratic party, and enabling the masses

"Well," we said, "do you think a
court has the right to interfere in the
organization of Legislature, when
the constitution says,-'each House
shall be the exclusive judge of the cleo
tion returns and qualifications of it's
own members" If court has the
right to name one member, has it not
the right to name them all? And
does not the law-making power, in
that event, pass over to the judicial
branch?"

never thought of it. But there is
Tillman."
"What has Tillman DONE" we re-
piled, Except to enforce a law, favor

He could not say it was. He was be-

contending against the most tremen-

control of public opinion that the

What is the remedy? Don't read

to read them, then as an antidote,
read good Populist paper at the
