OLYMPIA, WASIlNGTON FRIDAY EVENING" JULY H. l899

ing the Democrats OF the country with
the old gang and unmasking them
and revealing their true character to
David B. Hill. who, crazed by ambi.
ton and unbalanced by the example
OF Cleveland, play ed the part of button
in the Senate to attract the attention
! of Wall street.
1t may be a part of the plan of the
! Omnipotent Ruler OF the universe to
concentrate n great amount of wicked
ness into few individuals and permit
them to attain prominence and leader
ship among their fellows in order that
when they reach positions Of eminence
and power and reveal their true char.
acters the people will be so shocked
that they will learn the error of their
ways and turn from it, But, be that
as it may, it is certain that in the
breaking of its old idols the Demo.
cratic party was restored to sight and
given back its youth.
In the regeneration of the Demo.
cratic party the Republican party be-
came lost to hope. The independent
and thoughtful portion of the Repub.
lican voters were at once forced into
an alliance with the Democrats, while
the greater portion of the Democratic
leadership, that had been the curse oil
the party, were driven into revolt and
thus exposed themselves so that they
can no longer use the livery Of heaven
to serve the devil in.
On the other hand, the Republican
party. with the aid of all that was vic.
ious in the Democratic party, and the
expenditure Of corruption fund said
to approximate twenty millions, won
the election. The Republican party
that was elected to power in 1896 is
not the Republican party of old. 1t is
entirely q new party composed of all
that was evil in both political parties
prior to 1896. 1t is now without the
restraining influences Of the good men
who left il in that year. Therefore, it
enters upon a career of plumber and
spOils, powerless to administer self
restraint. 1t was sinking in public
favor faster than any party had ever
sunk before when war with Spain
called all Americans to sustain the
government in war against foreign
foe. The war was against a weak ma
ton and was soon over. 1t was long
enough, however, to put in evidence
the true character of the party in pow
er, and leave a record of scandals and
abuses such as were unknown in the
civil war. 1t is now conducting II po.
litical war, fearing the withering
blight of public opinion in the calm OF
peace.
The Republican leaders have only
one faint hope to hang upon aside
from the brute force of the banks and
monopolies, which is that money may
succeed in buying treachery in the
Democratic camp. They realize the
danger of being repudiated by the hon.
est voter OF the party, and that they
are lost if the Democratic party cam
not be debauched and its forces de-
moralized by the nomination of a
Democratic candidate of the Hill
stripe, such as would cause the disin-
tegration of the allied forces of the re-
generated Democracy.

Decides This Turning Point in Life
A writer in the New York Sun has
been collecting some very interesting
data relating to suicides. He says:
Rejecting the doubtful cases, there
were SOS deaths reported as suicides in
the columns of the Sun during the
year 1898. In AZ of the leading cities
, of the United States, 1881 suicides
were officially reported during 1898.
The sum of the populations of these
cities was estimated to be about thir-
teen millions, or approximately one
sixth the population of the United
States. While, therefore. the SOS
cases represent, perhaps, not more
than 10 per cent. of the total number
of suicides in the United States during
1898, the analysis of them is of special
interest because the information is
more detailed than that usually found
in official reports.
OF the S0S suicides 62l, or about n
per cent, were males, and 1877, or 90
per cent, were females. Males gener.
ally constitute from 70 to so per cent.
OF the suicides. The sex distribution
of the suicides under observation
would therefore, seem to indicate that
they are fairly representative.
The method by which seli-destruc
ton was effected was noted in almost
every instance. This information was
given for all of the female suicides,
and for all but IL Of the male suicides.
The classification OF the sos cases by
sex and method is presented in the
following tables:
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1899-07-14

Some very frivolous reasons were al
legged for suicide. One man hanged
himself in the stairway because his
wife was too busy to read the Bible to
him ON particular occasion. A
farmer cremated himself to spite his
wife. A woman burned herself to
death because she was displeased with
henhouse built by her brother. An.
other woman took gas because her
husband very properly objected to her
riding bicycle at night unattended.

Is 1t Coed Law Everywherel

The superior court of Wisconsin has
handed down an important decision in
which it holds that the state board OF
dental examiners has not the power TO
dictate what shall constitute reputa-
bic dental college.
The case was brought before the
court by a young dentist who was re-
fused license to practice in the state
because certain studies were not incor-
porated the in curriculum OF the college
he attended. The court held such a
requirement wholly uniustifable and
that diplomas from any reputable col
lege under the statutes OF the state
would make the applicant eligible for
license. II this be good sauce for den-
lists, why will it not be equally a.
good for doctors OF medicine.

Convention In Ohio.

Next Thursday, June let, the Repub-
licans Of Ohio will hold q convention
to nominate full state ticket. Ohio
will lead all the states in the import
ance OF its election this year.
The contest next Thursday will open
q campaign which must have bearing
on the denomination Of President Nc
kinley for second term. The party
Is divided into Hanna and anti Hanna
followers, and the victors at the con-
vention will be the victors OF the state
ut the national convention In 1900.
The anti-Hanna men are figuring
largely on the Independent candidacy
OF Mayor Jones of Toledo, with hope
that he will get the Democratic cup
port. But there is not much prospect
OF that. If the Democrats have any
show at all, they will name their own
candidates and elect him by their own
votes and with the support gained by
the division in the ranks Of the oppos-
ing party.

Trial Of Rioters.

The court for the trial of the Wardne,
rioters will open at Wallace next Mon
day. Judge Geo. Fl. Stewart, OF the
. Boise district, will preside. Judge
Stewart is good Judge for such trial.
Judge Mayhem of the Wallace dis
trict thought it best for some other
Judge to preside because of his long res
idcnce In the midst OF those miners,
and because some objections were made
to him by defendants charging preju-
dice.
The state will make strong prose
cution. Attorney General Hays Will
have able assistance and everything
bearing on the guilt OF the arrested
parties will be brought TO light. The
time is at hand for the state TO do its
full duty in the matter. II troubles
have been kept up by the parties for
years and years as is charged, the
trouble should be stopped now. This
is the states opportunity and Judge
Stewart and Attorney General Hays
may be expected to do their full duty
in all the cases.

ENCOURAGE INSURGENTS.
Action Of Commission In Ignoring Otis
Docs This.

New YORK, May 24.-f'our Of the
Filipino commissioners called upon
Gen. Otis, but made no official propo-
sitlous relative TO surrender, says a
Manila cablegram to the Herald. They
met the American commissioners later
and held a four hours conference. 1t
IL said that the Fifipinoes we're dis
mayed at the terms offered 10 Prcsi-
dent McKlnley's cablegram. Gen. Pr
lar turned red under bis brown nktr
when he realized that lie was being OF.
fered nothing but vague promises OF
possible representation for his people
In case Of compliance with American
demand that they lay down their arms.
Every Filipino shrugged his shout
ders at the glowing prophecies OF the
future, after cessation OF hostilitIes,
outlined to them by the members OF
the commission. They said they asked
for independence and liberty with dig
nifty, under the protection Of the Uni
ted States, and were now offered moth
ing but the indefinite assurance that
individual natives ought to hold official
positions under the proposed govern
ment.
The commissioners have great dread
OF the significance OF future Cong res
sional legislation. They will accept
not a single condition OF those pro-
posed, but will return dissatisfied to
Aguinaldo and report the results.
Maj. Zaiclta, one of the Filipino COM
missioners, said: "As the ultimate
form OF government rests in the hands
OF the American Congress, the present
proposals are merely provisional. The
result OF the present plan would be that
the Americans would be at the head
OF every department OF government
and the Filipinoes' tenure OF Office
would depend upon the will OF the
Americans. We think we can get bet
ter terms"
a leading banker OF Manila said,
The present proposals are only rep
clifton OF the provisions OF the com
missions proclamation. That means
That this is an American colony. They
have adopted the imperialistic policy,
then they talk over matters with the
ENJOYS OF hostile force, which mus,
De before such n government as 1t pro-
posed can be established.
The opinion Of military officials here
is that the negotiations merely encour-
age the insurgents To hold out for bet
ter terms, especially since the com.
manding American General is not con-
suited In the negotiations.
Gen. Luna Is bound 10 continue the
light for independence. Negotiation.
