A NEW COMPLAINT.

Several days ago, In an article on bank
ing institutions, we took occasion TO say
that there had been but one bank failure
in Virginia, but that statement has been
controverted by the Bedford Bulletin in
the following language:
Such high authority that there has been
but one failure must bring Joy TO the
hearts Of the depOsitOrs In the Roanoke
Trust, Loan and Safe Deposit Company.
The people Of Bedford also must feel a s
If awaking from a horrible nightmare
TO find that the First National and Lib
erty Savings Banks of this city, are in
full blast, and did not fail last April as
they supposed. This place is not a city.
however. and the Times may have been
recording the failures since Christmas.
II we had not limited our remarks as
10 time. if we had been reviewing the
banking business in Virginia from the
beginning we might have mentioned many
other failures. OF course We were referring
to the time since the election. and it
has not been our policy to parade in these
columns, as though gloating over them,
all the banking failures that have occur
red even in the past several years. We saw
no occasion TO remind our readers that
there was a bank failure in Bedford City
in the early spring, and we think that
II our Bedford contemporary would pur-
sue a similar policy, and devote more Of
its space TO advertising the rich lands
and splendid resources Of Bedford. 1t
would do its people a better service than
by continually harping on the fact that
business is dull, that times are hard, and
that the Liberty Savings Bank has gone
20 the wall. The Times has encountered
many criticisms. but this is the first time
that contemporary has complained Of
IT for falling to give prominence TO the
fact that banking institution In its com
munity had failed. We wish our con-
temporary a happy New Year. and hope
that 1t will cheer up and be done with
nightmares.

with some honorable exceptions, Cen

orally speaking. the United States sena-
tors OF to-day are little more than errand
boys or department messengers for their
constituents. Almost every man who
once gets TO either house OF CONGRESS has
his mind occupied from the time he gets
there with how 10 get back there. They
think the way to make this sure Is TO

this would not be 50. It would be OBJ
viously impossible TO conciliate the whole
body OF people in a state Of paying atten-
ton TO the comparatively few that come
to Washington. and the senators would,
therefore, find no profit IN being obse-
quious to those. They find their pront
now in making an adherent or two In
each county. and, while they can be
very influential in determining who shall
represent that county in the Legislature,
their influence upon the whole body Of
people in the State IS insignificant. This
another reason. II any more reasons We're

tors may be elected by direct vote OF the

The current number of IIarper's Week

as true as Gospel. but funny and witty
as II is. IT is death TO the country.
A year ago the country had pretty well
made up It's mind that free silver was no
more than bug-a-boo. and 1t had com
menced to do business again. Then Mr..
Cleveland paid that unlucky visit 10 the
salt marshes Of North Carolina, and come
back to Washington to strike England's
shield fair and square and ring out de-
fiance TO her. Immediately all business
was arrested, free silver came up

yet the author OF that article took his
own life. The article appea'ed IN inc
81. Louis Globe Democrat on August H.
1892, and was written by its editor. Joseph
u. McCullaga. who several days ago In
III OF dependency, threw himself from
window and dashed out his brains.
We have reproduced the article not
simply because OF its merit. which were
n sufficient apology for IFS publication, but
because under the peculiar circumstances
IT is worthy OF the most careful study OF
those who would get at the innermost
secrets or a suicide and ascertain the mo-
tive which prompts him to such rashness.
Mr.. McCullaga tells us that, "the rea-
sons assigned for suicide. in most in
stances. are obviously inadequate. both
logically and morally" lie also says In
effect that 10 take ones life TO escape
difficulties and responsibilities is an act
OF cowardice. lie argues the question
from every standpoint and concludes that
even the plea OF despair is not a valid
one where the opportunity OF further ef-
umph is not taken away while life re-
mains"
We infer from this that under the raw
ages Of a nervous disease, this man, so
recently an editor. OF usefulness and in
fuence. had at last reached the point
where he thought that his day o. grace
was done and that he had become "su-
perfiuous II not burdensome TO the world"
His great brain. weakened by disease
lost its balance and left him at the
mercy Of an irrational impulse.
There is but one sure remedy against
suicide. and. that IS religion. The man
who reveres God and believes I'm here
after, will not, II in his right mind.
