THE EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDE.

Any one who is daily reader of the
great number of suicides chronicled by
them this summer. Scarcely day passes
hut that one or more cases of self-murder
are reported
Some years ago there was an article on
this subject in one of the leading reviews
in which the writer held that suiciding
went in cycles; that there would be in
tervals perhaps of several years, during
which time, barring an exceptional case
here and there, there would be no crimes
of this sort committed. and then all at
once IL tidal wave of self destruction would
sweep the country. Our observation,
since reading the article referred to, is.
that to very large degree the author
was right in his assertion. If it be true
then that suicides sweep the country
like an epidemic, then like all epidemics
there must be some cause for the present
one.
"A careful analysis of the cases recorded
this summer by the press will show that
the cause assigned for at least 60 per cent
of them was financial embarrassment of
some sort. Since these cases are not local
or are confined to nc particular section of
our country, might 1t not be fairly in
ferred that there is some national cause
for these embarrassments which have led
to so many untimely deaths? Truly "the
times are out of joint" and that the peo-
pie as nation, believe the money ques-
ton to be at the bottom of the whole
thing, witness the unparalleled interest
now taken in the present political cam
paign. The world has never seen it
equalled. The silver party to-day owes its
popularity not so much to its leaders rs
to the Unborn conviction of its adherents
that it is the one relief offered them from
the evils of a financial stress which hold.
them i'll its grasp with ever Tightening
grip, stress which drives men to mad
ness and to self-destruction.

Chang in his negotiations with Japan for

Chinese ambassador visit to this coun-

LET BOTH WITHDRAW.

AS the campaign progresses evidences
of the misfit OF the Democratic nominees
for President and Vice President become
daily more apparent. Mr.. Bryan is be
yond all question the man for the occa-
sion, so far as the head of the ticket is
concerned; but it is equally as apparent
that in the selection of Mr.. Sewall for
the second place serious blunder was
made. Personally he is gentleman of
unquestioned integrity and in all respects
eminently worthy of the respect and es-
TEEN of his countrymen; but as the Dem
The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-09-03

Mr.. Bryan's reception at Columbus
Ohio, is said to have been the largest and
most enthusiastic of any given him since
he started out 20 enlighten the people in
regard TO the free COINAGE of silver as laid
down in the Chicago platform. His tour
through Northern and Western New
York into Ohio has been triumphal
procession all the way, and the leaders of
the Democratic party are so encouraged
by the developments made during it's pro-
gress that they have decided to make a
determined effort to carry the Empire
State for the Chicago nominees, of which
they are now very sanguine. The Repub-
licans and gold Democrats have affected
to make light of Mr.. Bryan's speeches in
New York, but they find that the laugh
is likely be the other way, and that, so far
from being a failure the campaign of
the Democratic nominee has been in
every sense most surprising success

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The Republicans pretend to be certain
of carrying the Middle Western States
for Mckinley and protection but the in.
formation from the headquarters of the
opposition is just the reverse of all these
claims. Mr.. Bryan's enthusiastic recep.
ton at Columbus, Ohio, where he was
met by enthusiastic delegations from va
rious parts of the State, shows in what
direction the political winds are blowing,
and point with the same unerring accu-
racy that the needle does to the pole to
public sentiment in the Buckeye State
largely in favor of Bryan and free silver.
In Illinois and Indiana there is the same
enthusiasm. The free silver sentiment
is increasing in those States continually,
with the prospect that all losses to the
Chicago ticket from the bolt of gold
Democrats will be more than compen-

THE SUPERsTITIoUs NUMBER.
Car Thirteen Killed Little Annie Tracy
and Two Others. ::


Annie Tracy, aged thirteen years, of
No. 1914 Longshore street, Tacony, was
run over and fatally injured by a trolly
car of the Holmesburg, Tacony and
frankfort line at State road and Long
shore street yesterday. Little Annie had
been on an errand to a neighboring ply
stefan and had stopped at the blacksmith
shop of her father on her way home
When she left her father she started
to cross over the State road Immediately
behind wagon loaded with hay, which
was passing. and did not see the approach
ing car, which ran her down. The wheels
passed over both her thighs crushing
them. Immediately opposite her father
blacksmith shop stands engine company
No. 30, and in front of it at the time of
the accident patrol wagon No. ID, of the
frankfort district, was standing.
The mangled. child was quickly picked
up. and the patrol wagon was driven with
all haste to the Episcopal Hospital.
There the physicians saw at once that her
injuries were fatal. She died within few
hours after being admitted.
The car which ran over Annie, No 10.
has a superstitious record. 1t was this
car which ran over and killed Miss Barnes
on Bristol turnpike early in last June,
and later on ran over and mangled the
legs of Harry Sickel near the same spot
from the effects of which he afterwards
died in the Episcopal Hospital. -Phila

: SUBURBAN TOBACCO FARM.
A New Industry for Which Great Fu-
ture is Expected.

A New Industry for Which Great Fu-
ture is Expected.
Tobacco growing has been tried in
Brooklyn, and the experiment has proven
successful. That part Of Brooklyn known
as New Lots is the scene of this new indus
try, and already the garden farmers of
the vicinity are talking over the proba-
bilities.
The tobacco farm is owned by Tony
Givin, an Italian laborer Tony's father
is tobacco farmer in Italy. Last March
he planted his front yard with tobacco
and found that it grew as well as it does
in his native land. The leaf he sold at Il
low price to n tobacco man, who reported
that the leaf is of excellent quality for
snuff. Tony then hired lot at the cor
ner of Dumont and Rockaway avenues,
and planted more of the leaf He now
has half-acre under cultivation. The
truck farmers in the Brooklyn suburbs
will doubtless follow Tony's example and
prosperous new industry will probably
result
