A SUICIDE.

The supposed suicide of A. Laden
burg, who was missed from the
Ward Line Steamer Niagara on its
passage from Nassau to New York,
Feb. 20, is a striking comment on
the possible resultant effect of want
of home life. He was rich banker,
lived in magnificent style, had every
apparent accessory TO happiness
which wealth can purchase, and yet
was miserable with all these sur
roundings. His wife, a "society
woman" young, beautiful, but
wholly engrossed in the round of
balls, dinners, receptions and fads
which go to make up what is called
fashionable society, devoted her
whole time and energy in participat-
ing in these exacting amusements, to
the utter neglect of her domestic
life, and the happiness of her hus-
band and family. He was sur
rounded with a luxurious and gilded
life which was like the apples Of So
dom, and to end it all he took the fatal
plunge.

THE PRIZE FIGHT.

Fitzsimmons and Maher about
whom so much has been written in
the past month finally met Feb. 21,
in Mexico just across the river from
Langtry, Texas, and had their ''mill "
Maher was in IL for less than a
minute, and then like the gentleman
of whom Mr.. Twain writes, the sub
sequent proceedings interested him
no more, he was completely knocked
out.
This ought to end prize fighting on
this western continent. When the
bruisers begin to talk fight or send a
challenge, they should be promptly
arrested and put TO breaking stone
and kept at it until their ardor has
cooled, and they have earned enough
money by honest labor to take va
cation abroad.

We no longer hear the free-trader
glibly asserting that the importa-
ton Of European manufactures will
benefit the American farmer by in
creasing the demand for his pro-
ducts, and thus raising the price on
them. Nor do we hear him assur-
ing the American workman that the
decrease of his wages will be more
than compensated by the cheapness
of what his wages purchase. Nor
do we hear him telling the Ameri-
can manufacturer that what he loses
in the home market will be made up
for by opening " the markets of the
world. " All these fictions have
crumbled under touch of the harsh
finger of experience Exchange.
Oh, yes, they still talk that noil-
sense but the beauty of it is that no.
body listens or believes them.

Editorial.
ELECTION HOUSES.

An act was passed by the Legisla-
ture last winter authorizing super
visors in the townships in this state
to erect suitable buildings in
which to hold elections, store road
machinery and transact township
business. They may borrow money
and issue bonds therefor, but may
not incur an indebtedness exceeding G
one-half of one per cent of the as
sessed value of real estate in the
township. They may procure lot,
and collect an annual tax to pay for
the erection of the building thereon.
The act also provides that on the
request of any landowner on high
way, they shall locate sidewalk
along his lands ON each side of the
highway, which sidewalk the land
owner shall pay for and keep in re-
pair.
Now if our river road could be
opened to it's proper width and a
sidewalk established along it with a
row of trees, would it not be fine
walk and of great attraction to the
country.

The Address Of the President 20 the vens.
zueian Congress.

CARACAS, Feb. 28--De Francisco Gas.
tillo, minister Of the interior, read 10 the
Venezuelan congress the message OF Presi-
dent Crespo The cabinet was present,
but the president did not attend the ses.
sion.
The message began with a reference to
the revolution which began last Novem-
Der. 10 was n revolt without flag or mo-
tive, the executive declared IL was Who'll
ly inspired by the reckless and unlawful
ambition Of men eaRer for power at any
cost IL was checked only by the energy
Of the government, which had prepared
for emergencies of that nature The chiefs
Of the rebellion had all been approhended,
with the exception Of those who had fed
to foreign countries. or those plotters who
had never been brave enough 10 venture
within reach Of the power Of the republic
Many had been released already.
The message said that In all times Of
disturbance, and especially In the face Of
foreign difficulty, the citizens Of the coun-
try should vie with each other In their ex-
hibitiOn Of patriotism. The enrolment Of
the national guard had shown that Ven.
exueia could count upon an army OF zoo,
600 men. While there was not sufficient
money In the national treasury 30 buy
largo cruisers the nation could appropriate
funds for the purchase Of rapid torpedo
boats for the protection OF the ooast.
The message referred 10 the boundary
dispute with Great Britain, with partlcu-
lar regard TO the attitude Of the United
States. Gratitude, the president said, was
due to that country above all, for the rea-
son that It had interfered and had become
q powerful ally of Venezuela when II
found that the integrity Of an American
state was gravely menaoed. Venezuela' q
rights would be peaceably maintained, the
president declared, II the advice Of the
United States should be followed
This portion of the message concluded
with the emphatic declaration that Vene-
auela's debt TO the country Of Washington
could not be estimated and with distinct
oommendation for the part taken by Mr..
Thomas, the United States minister.
The president said that the largo sums
due the English and German railway con-
structors would be guaranteed by the gov
| ernment.
In regard to the Cuban question, Presi-
dent Crespo said that the struggle Of the
revolutionists In the island had naturally
aroused the sympathies Of all free Ameri.
oan states The demands Of the laws Of
neutrality would, however, prevent gov.
ernment action.
The relations Of Venezuela with ali
South American republics, President Ores
po said, were friendly.

prising that the New York Demo-
Gratis should oppose this reform
measure, for the great strength Of
that party in New York city lies in
the saloon. In this state the Repub-
licans assumed the responsibility
of enacting the Brooks law, and
they have been fully supported by
public opinion. The Republicans of
New York need have no fears that
in supporting a measure which will
promote morality and temperance
they will loose favor with their

Maher measured his length on the floor,
