A Would be Suicide

Chris Murray the man brought into
the receiving hospital a o'clock yester-
day morning with slight wound in his
thoat, which he had inflicted with the
blade of a penknife with intent to COM
nit suicide, was discharged later in the
day. Murray had been on a prolonged
spree for several days, and in moment
of dependency resulting from his
drunken condition resolved to end his
life. The attack made upon himself, how
ever, was only half-hearted, and the
wound amounted to little more than a
scratch.

Subscribers to The Herald and ad-

have chance to participate in two
very interesting guessing contests, the
particulars of which are to be found
in other columns. Ninety dollars in
bright Klondyke nuggets are worth
guessing for. Likewise, forty-five
dollars in Klondyke nuggets are ditto,

the Yankee guessers in the country:
also for naturalized citizens who are
good at divination. There is no extra
charge for engaging in this guessing
bee. Subscribers and advertisers are

I am painfully aware some people say
That Sappho did not always behave in a lady

But of first class poems she wrote few,
So it must be admitted, even by the most
proper, Of whom I hope I am ones that
some good she did do.

And may be slandered, for aught we know.

inals, they may expect those officials in
turn to protect criminals when they vic.
late the law.
This whole thing, we think, is charge.
able to the people themselves that is, to
the people of the communities where
popular violence occurs. 1t grows out Of
q lack OF appreciation among the people
OF their own responsibility. As Ameri.
can citizens they fail to understand that
their duty to themselves, their children
and their country, demands that they
shall select men Of probity and integrity,
both to make their laws and to see to the
enforcement and execution Of the law.
There is too much Populism, socialism
and demagogism abroad in the land; too
much foolish talk about the people rml-
ing, by designing politicians, who know
nothing, and care less, as to Aoso the peo-
pie erercise their function OF government.
Let our people be drilled in the letter
and in the spirit of American institutions.
Let them understand that the people of
this country are to do nothing as mass
or mob. The people. il they remain with
in constitutional limits, can not make
laws except by and through their repre-
sentatives. nor can they enforce laws ex-
cept by their representatives. This is
not a government by the people in the
accepted idea. It rs govern
ment by representations. Let the people
learn to watch their representatives, and
hold them strictly 10 account.
