Morbid Literature.

The press is generalizing in a moral
way over the morbid conditions that lead
people to resort to desperate acts, such
as resulted in the double suicide and
murder last week in Denver. In this
case it was shown that the reading of
morbidly sensational books in which
death, even by suicide, was described as
a sure and permanent escape from all
the ills the flesh is heir to. The fact
that there is a life beyond with its in
evitable rewards and ~punishments for
the deeds done in this body, is ignored
or overlooked, and death is pictured as Il
grateful sleep, tantamount to annihila-
ton or eternal atrophy of the human
soul.
1t is upon such stuff as this that Baron
Harden Hickey based his philosophy.
when he wrote his Ethics of Suicide, and
less than two years ago carried out his
own theories at Ell Paso, Texas, with a
fatal dose of Il sleep inducing drug. AS
long as this class of books continues to
be read, and they would not be written if
there was not a call for them, Just so
long will people with i'll balanced minds,
who are all at sea with regard to the
future life, continue to leap from the
precipice, making shocking and ruinous
spectacles of themselves, and themes
for sensational newspaper accounts, If
parents would give a little more atten-
ton to the class of reading their chill
dren indulge in, and shut off this ruin
Gus, horrible stream of worse than
worthless literature that is flooding the
country, and running riot in the brains
of so many people, there would be fewer
sensational crimes and fatalities for
newspapers to chronicle and an uplifting
and purifying of popular tastes.

The recent unparalleled cold snap has
resulted in the establishment of new
weather records throughout the south.
People read with astonishment of the
freezing to death of a man in Savannah.
the record of 5 degrees below zero in
Atlanta, / below in Mobile, the fall of
snow as far south as Tampa. and the
evident destruction of the entire Florida
orange crop, and the vegetable crops in
Georgia. The general query is: Are the
seasons changing, and what is the cause
of the change? If this sort of thing
keeps up, there will yet be skating and
sleighing in Havana. However, snow
fell heavily in the southern states
three years ago, and the Galveston fire
department was unable to reach a fire
in time because of two feet of snow.

that disestablishment will be the even

River and Harbor Waste.

Indifference on the part of the public,
and carelessness on the part of congress
are allowing the appropriations for riv-
ers and harbors to run up into danger
ously extravagant tiguges, and are re-
sponsiblc for the loss of much money
that is absolutely thrown away, as far
any public benefit is concerned. The
appropriation II years ago was 81 900 900;
it has now increased to six times that
figure. As one congressman says: "More
than one-half of the appropriations car
ried by this bill are for the improvement
of places where geographical names
have to be used that are not known to
the people of the United States. except
to those in the immediate locality of the
places named" As a noteworthy in
stance of this, the fact of a $780, 900 APP
preparation for a channel from Calves
ton Bay to Texas City, was cited. How
many people in the United States ever
heard of Texas City? There is but II
business establishment, a cotton com
press outfit, located there. and these
parties have the nerve to ask congress
for $3.50, 900, a sun several times larger
than the valuation of the whole of Texas
City, in order that a trench may be dug
through the sand to the compress works
from the bay; and as the currents tend
to keep this trench filled with sand, the
appropriation will have to be made an
nual, in order that this compress com
pany may ship by water direct and save
the margin of expense that would other
wise have to be incurred by rail ship
ment to the Galveston docks.
Only a few years ago, under the head
of river and barber improvements,
1875, 900 were appropriated for the i'm
provement of navigation of the Missouri
river, a proviso stating that such por-
tions of the whole amount as might be
thought necessary could be utilized to
improve the harbors of II towns speci
fed. 1t was afterwards ascertained that
these II harbors and towns consisted of
the piers of II railway bridges, and to
strengthening these piers was where the
government appropriation vent. Every
year schemes like the above are worked in
congress, and congressman are inditfer-
ent, largely because by winking at these
things they are the better enabled to get
pet projects of their own through, and
thus let the dear constituents realize
that their members are demonstrating
their usefulness, and are getting in their
work where it will do the most good
for the constituents.

Germany, in pursuing her policy Of
race expulsion, is playing with a sword
that cuts with both edges. Such a
course is sure to suggest to other nations
a policy of retaliation. In fact several
Russian papers are already out with
the recommendation that the richer
Germans be expelled from Russia, and
Austria is irritated to a point where
some such move may be announced
from Vienna. Moreover, the policy of
prohibiting instruction in Danish to
Danish children in northern Schleswig,
has resulted in the sending of many
children to schools in Denmark, which
move the German government is anita
gonizing by attempting to deprive the
parents of these children of their guar.
dianship. The present German emperor
is evidently of the opinion that he is a
second Frederick the Great. and may
get into serious trouble ere he is con
WINGED to the contrary.

The senatorial dead locks in various
state legislatures are slowly being loos-
ened, and the opinion is gaining ground
more than ever that the proper way
to choose United States senators is by
a direct vote of the people. In fact two
more legislatures, those of West Virginia
and Missouri, have voted in favor of
direct election, as the only way by which
to prevent dead locks and scandals; and
a Chicago paper claims it is the only
way in which municipal and national
issues can ue separated.

OF attempted burglary, and who was
sentenced on Thursday by Judge HUI

his cell. but the attempt was complete
failure.
During the morning Darlington had
snlked; he perslstently refused food and
stayed under his bed, and declined to
talk with the jail officials or fellow
prisoners. About o'clock in the after
noon. prisoner, Homer Smith. saw
Darlington In the act OF hanging him

giving the alarm. Jallor Mccormick
hurried to the scene. and found that
Darlington had failed In his attempt at
self destruction. He had cut narrow
strip from his blanket. but It was not
strong enough to hold him suspended
from the top Of the cell door. The jailor
took the piece OF blanket from CARING

maintained his sulky silence.
About two hours later Darlington
was handcuffed and taken to the
Moundsville penitentiary by Sheriff
Richards and Tailor Mccormick. When
the city patrol wagon drove up to the
jail entrance, the news that Darlington
was to be taken away became known
through the county and city building,
and as result quite crowd witnessed
the departure. Sheriff Richards said
last night that Darlington remained
