Suicide Among German Children.

"'N 49,
Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No n seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed. 1t has been said that
the majority of suicides are those OF
children, and experts inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement Of failure. II
would be interesting to know If any OF
the so-callsd heather countries Of the
world have ever experienced such q
horrid social phenomena as that OF
child suicide.

THE BALTIMORE RESULT.

Today will probably settle the
great fight which, for almost a week
has been going on in the old city OF
Baltimore for the choice of COM
manding general to marshal the
democratic hosts in the fight for po-
litical supremacy and for the better
government OF the nation, at the
polls in November next.
Baltimore is city whose name
appears upon the pages OF the coun-
trys history; it is a city which has,
as a community, contributed many OF
the most interesting as well as of
the most thrilling pages to the his
tory Of the nation. And this year,
as in years gone by, this majestic
old town is playing a most import
ant part in the story of American
politics.
The leaders Of the party which
has stood for right and justice ever
since its formation; the leaders OF
the party whose tenets, traditions
and history show it to have been,
from the days Of its foundation, the
party believing in equal rights to
all and special privileges to none
these leaders are today making his
tory. History not alone for the
, party, but for the country-for the
nation.
The greatest political battle in
the history OF the American nation
will be fought this fall. The sun of
republicanism is rapidly sinking be-
yond the western horizon. Sinking
behind cloud of mismanagement OF
affairs OF state; a cloud Of graft,
Doodle and corruption. Superceding
it-rising in a blaze OF glory from
the east, shaking off the morning
mists, radiating the rays Of truth
and shedding upon the land the great
light OF good government may be
seen the gladdening face Of the sun
of democratic truth! the sun which
for years TO come will stand as a
mighty pillar Of fire to guide the
wandering footsteps Of the wearied
people-the common people-both
by day and by night, in their jour
ney to the promised land
While the wisdom OF adhering in
future to the two-thirds rule gov
erning democracy's conventions, may
be most justly criticised, while the
probability is more than strong that
the present convention will witness
the passing of this rule forever, yet
the rule is having more TO do with
the selection of a democratic can
didate whom the leaders OF democ
racy think will stand for the great
est innovations in the literal govern
ment Of the nation than ever be-
fore.
While this two-thirds rule may
at this convention, defeat the ac-
tual choice OF the states democracy
and give to the national party a
man unknown, and, until the present
unsung, while this rule may result
in the choice Of some one, from the
rank and file, some one who has
never posed as a leader but whose
fight in the columns Of democracy
army has been in the interests, moi
only OF democracy and the democrat
ic people, but in the interests OF al
the people-of huanity for human
ity's sake; while those who are be-
fore the convention now in the lime
light of publicity, may be sent to the

licanism, we who sent these leaders
