The lmmem0rlal and almost unlver.
sal opinion Of all English-speaking peo-
pie Ia that there Ii and can be only
one justification for taking human
life, and that Is self.defense. The
State. by due process Of law. can COM
NIT homicide. but the individual can
do It only when his own life Is In peril.
This general proposition was denied
In a recent address by member Of the
Supreme Court Of Connecticut, Judge
Simeon Il. Baldwin. The venerable
jurlst brought by his denial a hornets
nest about his ears. and In sheer self
defense. he has offered second state.
ment somewhat modifying his original
declaration. He does not wish to DO
understood as advocating suicide. but
he does think that there are cases In
which doctor should let nature take
Its course, all hope Of recovery being
inevitable; also that there are extreme
cases In which one may with q good
conscience relieve himself Of the bur-
den Of existence. The Arst recorded
suicide occurred when armor.bearer Of
the Hebrew King. Saul. dIs0beyed his
royal masters orders to run him
through with sword. The king then
used the weapon on himself. The only
other notable suicide reported In the
Bible was that Of Judas. a thousand
years later. The race from which our
religion was derived has always held
suicide to be downright murder. The
detestatiOn Of all Christians for Judas
rendered his example a more efeectual
safeguard against sclf-slaughter than
any prohibition. legal or religious,
could be. But the position Of Judge
Baldwin does not lack precedents. Ac.
cording to Strab0. 1t was nm establish.
cd custom Of one famous Greek coun.
try. Ceas. to allow those who attained
the age Of sixty, or were inarm. to do
as they pleased about living any long
er. The Stole philosophers rather en-.
c0uraged the taking of ones own life
when the fates seemed to be adverse.
Many cases Of suicide by eminent and
honorable men could be cited from
Greek and Roman history, especially
the latter. The hara-kirl Of Japan
dates back fully $50 years. The Rom
an law treated self-murder as venial
Offense. but the English law treated
It as great crime. and an accessory
to It was punished as a criminal. In
1882 the State of New York Included
suicide In Its list OF felonies. and not
long aftcrward man who tried sui
eide was sentenced to one year In the
penitentiary. But public sentiment did
not sustain the law In that State or cal
for it's extension to other States. The
feeling toward one who takes his own

than cens,ire, and legislatures CANNOT
alter this sentiment. Nor Is there any
reason to suppose that legislation ha,

suicides. The man or woman who hal

those Islands, which has hitherto been
counted as the most friendly in the arch

est cordiality President Schurman, presi-
dent of the United States advisory COM
mission for the Philippines at The time
OF his memorable tour.
Outbreaks are feared. particularly In
Cebu where some of the leading men
have gone over to the insurgents. Many
of the wealthy inhabitauts are preparing

Senore Llorente and Melza Supreme
Court justices for Negros aud Cebu, have
gone thi,her from Manila to use their in

The results of the autdnomist govern

gent bands are olerat NJ there as they
did in Cuba, destroying much plantation
property, claims for which are being gre
sented to Gen. OILS.

BE for Col. Bryan.

ST. Louis, Aug. 15.-Gov. William J.
Stone had the following to say to-day re-
garding the purported interviews with
Richard Croker, covered in a New York
dispatch yesterday
"If it is true" said the Governor, chat
Mr.. Croker really favors the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan, Tammany will certainly
follow him, and there will be practically
no opposition to Mr.. Bryan in the con-
vention.
"The hearty cheers which greeted Gov
Hogg's speech In New York on the Fourth
OF July would rather indicate that Mr..
Bryan Is not lacking supporters in the
Tammany organization. With Tammany
supporting him, there will be but very
little opposition in the East to Mr. Bryan
"A statement has been made, purport-
ing 10 come from Mr.. Croker, to the ef-
feet that what he said complimentary Of
Mir. Bryan was not intended as an in
dorsement of his candidacy for the pres
ideucy. but merely for the purpose of
paying a tribute to a deserving public
man. Still II may be that Mr. Croker
sincerely thinks that the party could do
no better than 10 nominate Mr.. Bryan"
