EvADING THE LAW.

The recent order OF Assistant Secretary
Curtis. of the Treasury Department, iuter-
dieting the employment of IA en-, Kept on the
rolls as laborers, on clerical work, is euu-
nently proper and timely The laborers'
roll, not only in the Treasury Department,
but i n other departments also. has long been
a sort OF haven of refuge for people who
either did not care to undergo a civil
service examination, or, having mustered
up courage to face one, failed to pass.
Through the right sort of political or per
sonal Influence they bave been put on the
pay roll as laborers and then detailed TO
do clerical work There is no question at
all that great many men SO appointed
and detailed rendered fully as good ser
vice and were found TO be fully as COM
petent and as well equipped for the Work
to which they were assigned as those who
had come out of the examination ordeal
with flying colors.
That, however, is not to be considered
in the matter under consideration. The
appointment and subsequent detail Of these
men was simply whipping the devil
around the stump" Il was a bald evasion
of the statute, violation of the princi-
pie of civil service reform, and calculated
to bring both law and system into dis
repute 1t were better to have no law
at all than to have one and not enforce it.
The evening times., 1896-09-03
SUICIDE ANpINsANITY

Either as a charitable fiction. or because
in reality there was sudden swell OF de-
nientia, coroner's juries in passing upon
cases OF suicide &C nerally bring in a verdict
TO the effect that the deed was done in a
fit OF Temporary mental alteration. There
is natural repugnance against believing
that person would attempt his own life
with C aim int Mt and deliberation, although.
OF course, such cases are on record. Yet it
is ques tionable If not these very cases fur
| nish stronger evidence of mental derange-
nient than those Others which are pre-
cipitated by what would seem to be an
| uncomfortable impulse to end lifes troubles
with one sudden stroke. Instances are
recorded of persons choosing barba ric meth
DDS for shuffliDg off their mortal coil and
writing a detailed ac cou ut while undergoing
incredible tortures until Inconsistencies set
in While such acts are apparently done
with calm deliberatioD, there can hardly .se
a question that they Indicate diseased
condition OF the mind
1t will be objected, OF course, that the
various causes impeliing people to do away
with themselves cannot all be predicated
upon mental alteration. If a man sends
buuetthroughh his brain because he has been
ruined in business. or hangs himself because
afraid OF arrest, or seeks death in the river
bectusc tic has been Tilted, the tact does not
furnish evidence, it is said, that his mental
equilibriniui was upset. Yet, it is doubt
ful If anybody would take his own life
except undcreNtreme mentaieScitemcnt, or
depression, sudden arrangement of his
reasonable that his Judgments ohscured by
an overpoweTing mental upheaval, and that
heis no longer naster of himself when he
becomes felo dc Sc.
Becauseof this the wisdom of theenactrnent
of statutes which actually make felon OF
would be suicideiS SubIectto grave doubt
1t would seem TO be much more reasonable
and much more humane to treat an indi-
vidual attempting to put an end to his life
as an irresponsible being than as one who
has committed a crime against society.
In some countries a suicide is not permitted
TO have a Christian burial; his remains
must be laid away at night, and without
any ceremony whatever, and his grave
remain unmarked. This custom is hardly
less barbarous than that which makes a
criminal OF a poor W retch, who, in a moment
of despair, seeks oblivion in the embrace
of death.

HOPE FOR PERFECT UNION
Delegates to Irish Race Convention
Hopeful of Success.
Canon McCartan Declares the Party

bishop Of Raphoe. presiding. Michael Dav.
lit read messages from societies and indi
viduals in New York. Queensland, and else

Dean Harris, of Toronto, protested against

setting forth that IL was the prime duty OF
the Irish party to maintain Its absolute IN
dependence. OF the English, and to preserve
its perfect freedom To oppose ything tnat
the best interests OF the National cause may
dictate.
Hugh Murphy, OF Glasgow, expressed his
belief that the convention would conclude
that John Dillon should remain the leader
OF the Irish National party at home ana
aborad, with full power to insist that the
minority must be ruled by the majority.
Mr.. Lough!in, of Bradford. held that as
platform OF the Liberal party, the Irish

the effect of eDslaying the Irish party.
Michael Dayitt denied that there ever
had been any slayish alliance with any
English party.
Rev. DIR. O'Donnell, Of Montreal. urged
the necessity OF complete union OF the party
sections.
Mr.. Costiga delegate from Ottawa, +,
said that the assemblage present gave
assurance that union had been practically
established. He himself, he said. would
take back a message TO Canada declaring
that the convention was genuine and
representative meeting OF the Irish Of the

the proper quarter. Majority rule, lie de-

PArRoLLIsG THE CITY.

Il Ahybody That knows an ything at ailabout
the manner iu which this city is pafroiled
by the police. knows also that the methods
and property adequate protection. IN one
respect. of course. the police authorities are
TO be excused; they have lacked the requi-
site force to patrol the city effectively. In
fact. though there has been an increase in
the number of policemen, it has not been
sufficient TO raise our police force to that
point of numerical strength and consequent
effectiveness to which. a city Of the size
and Importance of Washington is entitled.
This has been repeatedly insisted upon by
The Times, and will continue to be forced
upon The attention OF Congress until that
body gives us such force. numerically. as
the area to be covered demands.
AT the same time, 1t is not impossible
that even with the slight increase granted,
very much more satisfactory service can
be had, IL The antiquated patrol system now
in vogue is supplanted by something more
practical, and, therefore. more effective.
Previously The Times has called attention

beat properly. for all the beats are too
large, and while he is at one end OF it the
crooks may work their sweet will at the
other end. Anything that will give relief
in this particular should be most welcome.
1t SO happens that a change has recently
been made in Chicago by the chief OF police
of that city which is said TO work admira.
bly, there, and which might be advanta-
geously introduced, in modified form. in
Washington. Instead OF giving each po-
liceman an area OF several blocks TO travel
over. he gets what may be designated a
straightaway beat. He goes up on one side,
returning on the other. In this way the
humber OF beats is multiplied, and each
one diminished in area, so that the officer
cannot only patrol it more effectively. but
obtain assistance more quickly IL circum.
stances should make 1t necessary. Some
thing on this order ought TO work to equal
advantage here.
