THE
CASABIANCA
OF POLITICS.

per utteTduceS tHe
blazing genius OF Mr.. McNiiIin still con-
tinues 10 bubble and sec.he like a Kettle
of boiling soapfat, and he evidently pro-
poses to stand by free silver even should
his ohstinacy force the country into bank
ruptcy.
in an interview published in this morn
ing's Times, Mr. McMillin said: II would
not support any tariff measure that
advanced the duties beyond the present
rates now in force. i will OPPOSE any Re
publican tariff measure
The patriotic Tennesseean is a member of
the Ways and Means Committee, and as
sisted in framing the Wilson law, which is
plugging the countryinto debt atthe rate of
SS,000,0O0 a month. Instead of acting
like Il sensible man and declaring that he
will support any reasonable effort to stop
this enormous deficit and relieve public ap-
prelicnsion, this malignant partisan pro-
poses to stand by his ignorance at the cX-
pense of public veal and see his country go
to sheol before lifting finger for its preser-
vation. Truly he is the Casabianca Of poll
tics.
Our national government cannot exist
without revenues. The Wilson law fails
TO provide them, and any member of Con
gress who refuses TO lend his influence to
amending that measure so as to supply
funds TO meet current expenses is an enemy
TO his country. There may be a difference
of opinion as to the method OF raising revc-
nue.. but there certainly should be none as
to its necessity.
Since the DinGlcy bill was defeated in
the Senate, the Treasury loss has been over
$4,000, 600. all oi which must be paid soon-
er or later by public taxation, andthis deficit
is still accumulatng public debt Of nearly
500, 900 900 year. 1t is high time such
Congressman as Benton McAiiiin should
be relcsatcd to privatelifc.

SieSs pE'nilpts tHt IN
qury why there is not
RING-RIDDENm more interest mani
tested in District suf-
AND frage. The canvass
of The Times a year
oob-Lo1 led. ago on the question
of hurdening the tax
payers with q debt Of
S20,c00,0O0 or more for street extension
showed plainly that II great ma ;ority WIS
opposed to such a proposition. II We had
a popular form of government and could
vote upon measures of such great iinpor-
tlnce they could never be enforced; but
under present circumstances they usually
become questions of bargain and sale, and
are enacted in spite of popular disapnrovai.
Follow this inquiry to- a logical con-
clusiou. IL an autocratic Dictatorship IL
good for city like Washington, why
woCld 1T rot also be beneficial TO the coun.
try generally? We have population Of
nearly 300 900 of voteiess people, who
have neither voice in the framing or en-.
forc1ment Of their laws. Each ard evc-y
oiilcer derives his arpointment from ac,o-
crauc source, and in consequence our To-
cal goyernment ras fa-.cn into tue hands
of wealthy Clique Of spectators. 1t is
claimed that for thls reason we have the
pest governed city in the country. II trur,
why not abolish popular suffrage and run
the government on the dictator plan?
Let this fact be impTes sSed IN our mind:
Washington VIII never truly prosper until
ring power is al olished, and the people
are permitted to control their own affairs.
We have more natural advantages than
Baltimore or any ncighboring city, and
under a vigorous form of government
neither of them could outst rip Us in
material progress But compared to their
growth and prosperity Washington is little
more than an overgrown town Our uppor-
tunities are ring-ridden and joblottcd
until nothing remains for the public. How
much longer is this unsatisfactory condi-
ton to continue.
The evening times., 1896-12-02
Is

Is oNei tic country. NOT
day has passed in
SUICIDE that period. but the
newspapers have had
SoN to record one or more
suicides. All known
cXpedients to end
life's misery have been resorted to, and
one individual even went so far as to write
down the sensations produced by the poison
lie had taken until his hand refused further
to perform its wonted functions. and the
end had come. In several, if not in the ma
iority, of the cases, no adequate motive
appeared for the act of self-destruction.
1t is not at all probab bic that under normal
mental conditions and without any external
influences at least one-half Of the suicides
would still be In the flesh.
The qucstionarises: Is suicide conta cious?
Is it possible that persons, especially those
Of a morbid turn of mind. ma Y be excited by
the reports OF such occurrences to make
away with themselves. in order to escapc
further annoyance from real or ina pinary
troubles? 1t is pretty generally admitted
that a person who is felo-d 81 is in a
partly dCrangcd mental state. Upon this
theory, the courts have decided that life in
surancc companies must pay the bcnefi
ciaries of the policies issued by them. if
the insured person commits suicide, and
even though the policy may havccontaineda II
waiver, on his part, OF his rights and
claims, or those for whose benefit the pol
icy issued.
Looking at the question in this light,
tile conclusion seems to be warranted that
the publication, with al details, of one or
more such occurrences may exercise a
depressing Influence upon already dcspond
ent or morose persons and cause them to
seek surccase from real or imaginary
troubles by the same means which they
find others have effectually employed. In
this view OF the case a law like that OBJ
tanning in New York, which makes per.
son criminally responsible for an attempt
to commit suicide, appears absurd, for no
man should be punished for an act done
under temporary alteration of mind. 1t is
a subject replete with interest and wen
worth the Investigation OF alenists and
psychologists.
