 ready to lend . helping hand to any contemplated bnsiness enterprise in the way of manufacturing and otAer| institutions calculated 10 benefit the city
 The location of Pine BlnI on the banks of the Arkansas river, which is navigable the year round and on the highest point, for 100 miles east, where it empties into the Mis- sissippei river, could not be improT- ed apon. The presence of two trunk lines Of railway one running from northeast to southwest, and the other from northwest to northeast through the country, offers uaeZ- celled advantages in the way of Ioutlets and transportation facilities.
 The wants demanded to make Pine Bluff a city of 50,00g people within the next decade are chiefly two things. More factories and manu- factafes. and more small farmers. Much more f5 dependent opon the latter than is usually allowed Factories and manufactures are not only offered unusual induce l ments by #the citizens of Pine Bluff to locate here, but they aJso have at hand the raw materials, such as the best cotton in the world and every variety of the finest timber and, thai, tao, with q miaam cost fer trans58rfa6on to the factories
 There is room for thousands of l farmers who will cultivate from 58 to 150 acres of ground, and give their attention net to cotton but to fruits berries. vegetables, dairy and poultry products The demand 1 tf0r these will #aereaseright home as Pine BtUa grows aaa becomes more of manufacturing center. which if promises 10 ae.

Including the death of the late Joseph B. McCullagh, editor of the GioJe-Dea1oerqt fourteen persons in St. Louis wound up their earthly ca .reers and sought sureease from sor- row bg suicide on the last day of the old year
 The prevalence of suicide and the motives thereof are leading to con siderable psychological speculation, especially in the case of tue late Jos. B. McCuIlagh, who stood at the top of his profession, possessed the esteem and admiration of men, and was fairly well fixed, so far as this worlds goods are concerned.
 On this point the St. Louis Re pabl'e says
 sItis easy to discover the reason for the suicidal impulse on the part of Mr. McGullagh. When a man has narrowed the scope of his inter- ests in life to an absorbing pas sion Tor his special work and finds himself debarred from further ae- tiyity and opportunity; its natural that life should lose all value for him. This is a reversal of the con dition which he himself urged as a deterrent of the suicidal impulse when he wrote: tThe plea of dispair is not Q valid one where the oppor- tunity of further effects are pro- vided, In his case the validity oi the plea was sustained by the cir cumstances.
 Of the others who sought sur crease of sorrow in death, one Was prompted by humiliation of busi- ness failure, two others by the fear of the consequence of wrong-doing, two by the disappointment in love and fear by dissipation. No causes are assigned in the reports in the remaining suicides, but it may be surmised from the record of causes l presented that disappointment in some absorbing passion or purpose supplied the motives of the tragedy.
 Tt would take a more exhaustive statement and examination of the facts than is possible in news re ports and editorial comment tc reach q scien tiGc conclusion wish regard to the causes of suicide and Che philosophie deduction to be drawn therefrom But in tbe main this epidemic of seGf=destraetioG among all classes and conditions oi men illustrates the point recently made by the Republic that hope and absorption ia objects beyond the control of Ire will are conductive to suicide
 is singular that two systems SO far apart in some respects as the Christian religion and the pessi- mistic philosophy should agree upon one thing as the essential anddote to despair the cruciGXion of desire. The Scriptures teem with iniunc- tions to put neither desire nor trust  in the things of this world that lie beyond the soul, and the essence of enlightened pessimism is indi6er ence to outward and mutable cir cumst tances aud concentration of in- terest on the inner life.
 Whether one chooses -pessimism or Christianity as his sheet anchor, 1t is wise to beware the absorbing passion and the unbounded hope. Curb desire and broaden life is the message of the despairiug dead, to the living.

I'm total corn crop of the eoan- try in 1895 wos little more than 200, 00o, ,O09 bushels. that of 1896 is estimated ataboat the same amount. but the latter crop brings to the farmers Sl30,000 0o0 less money than the former. This estimate is based on the government crop re- port, as the farm value Of two crops. Cotton is lower than it was last year. eats are lower, so, also, are pork and beef. Wheat. of all the great staples, is alone higher in price. but the recent rise amount ing to about 20 cents on the bushel, is only realized by the farmer on about half the crop. The crop will bring to the farmers just about the same total of money that the crop of 1895 did The spectators realized most of the recent advance. The result of all this is simply that the home market will be weak in pur- chasing capacity, and consequently the manufacturers will share with the farmers in the diversity that has them both by the throat.
