rs SUICIDE EPIDEKICl

Has COL Ingsrsoll's defense OF suicide
driven men and women to think less seriously
Of life, and to find surcsass from their sor-
rows by plunge int0 the unknown? Per-
haps It may be merely coincidence, but il is
certainly fact that since the publication Of
the celebrated GgRostic's article in favor Of
self murder, voluntary deaths have occupied
more than their usual space in the newspa-
pers. Yesterday all parts OF the country fur
nisbed their victims, and the motives which
impelled them 10 fly from ills they knew
ployed.
The study Of suicide, considered from a
psychological standpoint, is an interesting
one. IL is the belief Of men who have given
the matter careful investigation that there
are waves Of suicide, that in a measure 1t is
epidemic, just as is any other form Of disease.
Whether there is q suicide microbe has yet to
be discovered, but that persons are more prone
10 self-destruction at some times than at
others is self-eyident.
II might naturally be supposed that the
percentage OF voluntary deaths in rural COM
munities would be the minimum, but statis-
tics show that this belief is erroneous. In the
cities, want and hunger drive men and women
to seek death; in ths country, the tedium Of
living seems TO be the cause.
So long as there is hunger and priTation;
so long as men abuse their trust; so long as
wemen suffer for the crimes of others; so
long, in short. as society is the complex ma
chine il now is, there will be suicides. Though
il is generally confession Of cowardice or
crime. there comes time when the only ave-
nue. OF escape, the only hope Of peace, is
through the pistol or poison. Perhaps, after
all, they are less to be osnsursd than to be

REcoRnER TAYI0R,s nILEMMA.

Recorder Of Deeds G. II. @. Taylor finds
himself this morning in the somewhat torrid
condition of the man who is between the
fryiag-pan and the fire. He is confronted by
the probability that the Civil Service Com
mission viii file charges asserting that he has
aided and abetted in soliciting campaign
contributions from colored government en-
ployes. Mr.. Taylor does not know whether
to deny the charges in toto or to attempt to
defend himself 10y admitting the truth of the
report and pointing to others who are equally
as guilty.
Herein lies the perplexity Of Mr.. Taylor's
position. He sees that the lines OF evidence
have been drawn tightly around him and
that there is little prospect Of escape in that
quarter On the other hand, he is possessed
Of enough intelligence 70 realize that the
guilt Of one man is not lessened by the cul-
rablIity Of his neighbor.
Mr.. Taylor's heutenants have not been so
clear-headed. They have risen to the de-
Tense OF their leader with the cry of "perse-
cution" on their lips. he has, they say. been
singled out because OF his color and must
bear the brunt of an attack that should be
made ell along the line. Mr. Taylor's apollo
gists have also shown creditable, but some

TIE CASE uE .pR.p howard.

It is TO the credit OF the grand jury Of Fair
fax county, Va, that two indictments have
been returned against ''pE." CRANKY Staunton
Howard, charging that elusive individual
with obtaining money and diamonds from the
Specbt family. The history Of Hsward's
operations have been a matter of newspaper
comment for some time, and it now appears
that he will suffer Judgment from another
tribunal than the public press.
This man Howard has played upon foolish
women and Weak-mindsd old men all ever
the country, and his soft suasion has netted
him many hard dollar. His latest place Of
business was at Gunston Hall, Fairfax county,
Va. where be established school Of phil
osophy" that was a cross between the old
dreamsr's haunt at Brock Farm, Massaohu-
sets, and the modern place Of piatitudes at
Concord, in the same State. Hither Howard
led his chosen dupes 10 the sweet Utilization Of
their esoteric senses and the Generalization
Of their poeketbooks.
Howard was robber Of minds as well as
OF money. He is responsible for many broken
homes and broken hearts, and at least enc of
his victims looks out on a world that she
might have enjoyed through the iron bars of
q nadhouse. There is no law 20 punish
him for the damage he has wrought
in the minds Of his followers,
for justice cannot guage such subtleties even
though the concrete results are perfectly
plain; but there is law TO punish him for his
thefts reekoned in dollars and cents. and the
courts Of Virginia propose TO put that law
into effect
The case Of this charlatan is remarkably in
tsresring because OF its semi-psychological as
pect. Here is a man who was not self-de-
ceived and whose leadership was not depend
ant on the self-genersted enthusiasm Of the
zeslot, for Howard never pre-
tended to believe his vagaries ex-
cept in the presence Of his proselytes.
He merely saw in this modern groping after
mystery and IN these foolish readers of oc-
cult nonsense magnificent chance to make
living. Looking at him in this light he is
the champion confidence man Of the century
and crook whose style of procedure is all
but unknown to the police annals of this
country.
That lean and lank gentleman of the cloth
who prsyed on the philanthr0pic Mrs. Weller
in ''Pickwick Papers" was a mild fac smile
of Howard. 1t viii be remembered that Sam
Weller and his father caught the reverend
shyster and held his head under the generous
spout OF an English pump. 1t is a pity that
the old ducking law does not exist in Fairfax
county, Va.

SENATOR HARRIs-THE-MAN-W HAS
Observation-Disclosures.

Mr.. Harris, Of Tennessee, big chief in the
Senate Democratic camp, by virtue Of the
fact that he is the Man-Who-H -Been-There
A-Long-While, yesterday gave us another
proof of his magnificent capacity fer leader
ship.
The impression prevails in the country that
there is nothing left for the Senators to do
but to pick up their togas, shake the stray
grains of sugar from the folds, and get
back to their respective States as soon as
possible. OF course it is necessary for few
to remain and adjourn, but for that impor-
tant duty a eorporals guard will suffice.
The painstaking care OF the Man-Who-Has-
Been-There-A-Long-W While would not permit
such denouement No indeed. If all his
braves desert it will deprive the big chief
Of the exquisite pleasure of leading the long
fle along the legislative warpath.
And SO Senator Harris wanted the absent
Senators brought back by force. He dis
covered that moral suasion over the
telegraph wires was long on dignity but short
on results. The rough and ready physical
suasion used extensively among the hardy
him about the proper thing. But even that
was scarcely feasible without the regu-
lation fint-leck rifles and convenient tree
behind which to shoot. The finale was a flat
failure, and Mr. Harris condescended to shut
up Senatorial shop for the time being.
Dropping the mental picture conveyed by
the title of The-Man- Who-Has-B Been There-A-
Long-While and looking back on the course
Of Senator Harris all through the tariff dis
cussion, it appears that he has also played
the role of schoolmaster. He has not been
such a schoolmaster as Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, would have made by reason of his
possession of an unfsiling loyalty to princi-
pal tempered with q good nature equally
unfailing, but he has made one OF
those schoolmasters Of the early New England
type. Anger, sarcasm, wasp-like retort these
have been the three lashes to his generously
exercised instrument Of fagellation.
Is it any wonder, then, that the boys wanted
to go home yesterday? Is it any wonder that
this Congressional pedagogue from the rural
districts of Tennessee cannet keep his pupils
together after hours?

senting the Negro National Democrats

organization required to meet the demands Of
the colored voters of the country and to har-
monize all factions of negro Democrats. and
the latter strenuously insist that the bureau Is
a necessary adjunct 20 the committee
In a letter sent by the league to Senator
Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional committee, H. C. C. Astwood,
chairman of the executive committee of the
league, said yesterday that the only question
at issue is the advisability of having but one
national organization.
1T is certain, he said. ''that the two Or
gahzations cannot exist without a conflict.
and as one can do the work there is no need
of two. The bureau is local; the league
national. A selection needs but a moments $
consideration OF the interest of the party at
stake. Continuance of the bureau cannot
fail to engender strife and factional opposi-
ton
Mr.. Astwood called on Senator Faulkner
to-day to urge immediate action in abolishing
the bureau.
