SUil J^iTLong tlie Jews a Xvhi'iiiiktt < Suicide seems to have been uncom mon among thc Jews until ahout thc heginning of thc Christian ora. In thc old testament only lour easts of suicide arc mentioned. The first is that of Samson. In his ease, thc act was that of a man driven to a condi tion approaching insanity hy the cruelty of his persecutors. His great desire was for revenge upon his ene mies, although it is doubtful whether he eared for his own life, after he had been deprived of his sight. His pray? or . '<.?........??,"., ?i /:.>,* that. I may at once he avenged of the Philis tines for my two eyes," seems very strong evidence that he sacrificed what remained to him of life for the gratification of feeling that he was avenging himself upon his persecu tors, i Tho sesond aud third suicides are those of Saul and his armor-bearer. They belong, I think, to the same class as'Samson's, for they were com mitted, not for any desire for death, but from tho force of external circum stances. Samson killed himself in order to obtain something that was to him.dearer than life, viz: revenge. Saul and his fo'lower died in order that they"?might escape what was to them worse than death, i. e., falling into the hands of thc enemy. Rather than be captured by his pursuers, when retreating, after having received a wound, he called upon his armor bearer to kill him. The request not being immediately complied with, Saul fell upon his sword and died. His armor-bcarcr then, in imitation of his leader, killed himself in order to avoid being taken prisoner. The fourth suicide mentioned in thc old testament is that of Ahitophcl, thc circumstances of which are pecu liar. Having, with the aid of Absa lom, raised a rebellion, thc cunning Ahitophcl hanged himself to escape tho consequences of his treachery, as many persons have done since his time. The*, notorious Piggott, who forged thejParnell letters, it may bc remembered, shot himself in order to escape arrest and trial. The case of Abimelech was not a technical suicide; but it approached it very closely. Having had his scull brokenly a stone flung from a height by a woman, Ab i mole ch was killed at his own request, to enable him to es cape the humiliation of dying by the hand of a woman. "A certain woman cast a pieoe of mill-stone upon Abi meleoh's head and all to break his skull. Then he hastily oalled upon the young man, his armor-bearer, and said to-him, 'draw thy sword and slay me, that men may not say of me a woman slew him.' And his young man thrust him through and he died." In the case of Eleazcr and those who took refuge with him in Mesnada after the capture of Jerusalem by Titus, as recorded by Josephus, we have an example of a whole Jewish garrison preferring death to submis sion. Eleazer, with several hundred soldiers and followers were about A. D. 70, beseiged in tho stronghold named MaBsada, by the Romans under Silva. When tho Jews saw that de feat was inevitable, they deoided to die by their own hands rather than surrender. "Tho wall (of the oity,) however, being consumed to the ground, and no hope or possibility left of safety or relief, thc only brave thing they had before them was to consider how they might deliver their wives and children from the ?ignomin ious outragos they might expect from the Romans whenever they became masters of the place. Eleazer con cluded, upon the balancing of this question, that a glorious death was in finitely to be preferred to a life of in famy, and that the most generous re solution they could take in thc world would bc not to outlive their liberties." Klcazcr told thc p? .plc that he con sidered it theil duty to themselves and to their?familic8 to kill themselves after having taken the lives of their wives and children. At first he fail ed to convince his followers of the wisdom of the course which he advo cated, but eventually he brought them to his way of thinking, and a general slaughter of the women and children commenced. In describing the scene, Josephus writes: "Such was thc pas sion these people had for thc destruc tion of themselves and thoir families that not ono man of them shrank when they came to exeoution. They kept up their dcav and natural affection io thc last, upon an opinion that they could not do their friends a bettor service. They took their last leave of their wives and children in their arms, / with a kiss and a stab. * * * * / This was a miserablo necessity, but they were driven upon it by a misera blo choice; for the destroying of their wives and children was thc least evil GIDE nd Early Christians. 'oHSi'i'i'utii't: slaughter they gathered together their portable property and burned it, and then, "choosing ten men by lot out of their number to do execution upon all j thc rest, they ranged themselves as ! near as they could to the dead bodies ? (if their friends, gave them a parting embrace, and cheerfully presented their throats to the executioner. As soon as the ten had, with a mighty re solution, discharged their part, they cast lots among themselves as to which of the remaining ten should dispatch thc other nine, with a con dition that the surving tenth mau should kill himself upon the bodies of the rest. Thc last man overlooked the bodies, and finding that all were stark dead, Het fire to the palace, and then cast himself upon his sword among his friends. * * * Thc I number of thc slain was nine hundred ! and sixty, reckoning women and child ren into the account." Two women and five children who had hidden in an acqucduct escaped. These told the Romans the story, which was BO in creditable that they could nou believe it. Hut betaking themselves to the quenching of tho ure, and following the way up to the palace, they found such a carnage of dead bodies, that without insulting aud rejdicing as en emies, they broke out into admiration at the generous greatness of the Jews' minds, thc steadiness of their coun sels, and thc obstinate agreement of such a number of men in the contempt of death." Josephus himself, from whose "His tory of thc War of the Jews" the above narrative is taken, came very near to losing his life in a similar slaughter. At about the same time, when leading the Jewish army against the Romans, he and his soldiers were beseiged at Jotapata. When the commander realized that thc position was hopeless, he decided to surrender to thc enemy. To this, however, thc troops would not agree, and with threats urged upon their leader, the nobler course (as they considered it) of self destruction. In answer, Jose phus addressed the army at considera ble length, and discoursed upon the wickedness of suicide. But he failed to convince the soldiers, and they proceeded to cast lots and kill eaoh other until only the leader and one soldier remained. When Josephus found himself in this position he ar gued the case with his one comrade, and eventually oonvinoed him. They deoided that both should live and should give themselves up to Ves pasian, the leader of tho army. In the second book of Maccabees (the Apoerypha) there is an account of the terrible suicide of Razis. It appears to illustrate two points-first, the favor with which the Jews regard ed what may be called unselfish sui cide, and secondly the determination with whioh defeated Jewish generals sought death. Whe . Nicanor's soldiers had broken tho fortress in which Razis and his followers were besieged, and defeat, coupled with surrender, was a certain ty, Razis threw himself upon his sword, "choosing rather to die man fully than to fall into the hands of the enemy, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble birth; but missing his stroke through haste, the multi tude also rushing within doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them; but they, quickly giving back, and a space being made, ho fell down in tho midst of a void. Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up, and though his blood gushed out like spouts of wator, and his wounds were grievous, yet ho ran through in tho midst of the throng, and standing on a steep rock, whon, as his blood was not quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he east them among the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore them to him again, he thus died." I have been unable to form a defi nite opinion as to the exact view which tho Jews took of suicide. I cannot find any passago in thc Biblo in which it is mentioned as a sin. "Thou shalt not kill" docs not SCOTS to cover the ground; and Ahitophel, who, having "set his house- in order," killed himself very deliberately, was buried in his father's grave. It is in credible that this would have been done had suicide been looked upon as a moral offence. Of course, the way in which the Jewish religion regarded self-destruction may have been entire ly changed prior to tho time of Jose phus, without any special mention bo ?D%m ido of it. That historian tolls us that tho bodies of those who had killed themsolvoa were not buried un til ?after sunset. This, as is well known, was tho Athenian law, its ob ject being, I think, chiefly to doter mon from thc,suicidal aol. j Tho Christiaa church was, from i the first, opposed to suicide, lt was uot, however, for several centuries af ter tho death of Christ that it did more than enter remonstrance against it, and then only when it occurred un der certain circumstances. Suicide seems to have been comparatively rare among Christians until persecution drove them to it. In Gibbon's "De cline and Fall of the Roman Empire" wc read that when Christianity came to bc tolerated by thc pagans, and martyrdom became comparatively rare, the more infatuated of the Christiane dcliberatly incited the pagans to acts of violence against themselves, and, when brought before the magistrate, begged that sentence of death might be passed and carried out. This conduct of thc early Christians was at times so glaring that thc pagan ruler often refused to pass any sentence upon them, and tola them to go and kill themselves if they were ?<> aux ious to die. Stories are related of martyrs who pressed the executioner to make haste, and who cheerfully leaped into thc tires which had been made to consume them, having appar ently discovered a sensation of pleas ure in the midst of exquisite torture. Several examples have been preserved of a /.cal impatient of. those restraints which the "uiperors had provided for the security of thc church. The Christiaus, indeed, went so iar as to supply hy their voluntary declarations the want of an accuser by disturbing the public service of paganism; and they afterwards implored the magis trate to pronounce and carry out thc penalty prescribed by law. lTpon one occasion Autonius Pius, thc pro-coun sul, refused their clamor for sentence of death, saying, "unhappy men, if you are thus weary of your lives, is it so difficult for you to find ropes and precipices?" The fanaticism of sume sects, such as the Douatists, was very marked, since they tried by every method to get their opponents to kill them, and even promised a reward to a pagan who would take their lives. When this method failed, they threw them selves from some high place, and many precipices acquired fame by the number of religious suicides. Voluntary self-destruction among Christians did not decrease to any appreciable extent until about 452 A. D., when thc Council of Aries con demned it under all circumstances. Rut even this condemnation did not have any immediate result, and sever al centuries lalor fanaticism, in the form of a thirst for death, again be came quite oommon. "At the battle of Hittin, during the crusades, those Knights Templar who ref uBed to adopt the Moslem faith wero ruthlessly slain by command of Saladin; and many Christian soldiers who were marohing for the glory of martyrdom, but wero not Templars, put on the mantles of the slain, and went gladly to their deaths." While suicide is not specifically con demned in the New Testament, it has, nevertheless, been strenuously opposed by every Christian sect for the past thirteen hundred years; and if self-destruction in the supposed cause of religion occurred to-day in, a Christian land, the suicide would nat urally be regarded as a lunatic. Buffalo, Now York, June 15, 1901, A Wise Conclusion. The Democratic State oommittee of Kansas has acted wisely in rejeoting an invitation from tho Populists to join in the formation of a now party. The Western Democracy has had a bitter experience with fusion. It has lost both charaotor and votes by its frequent fusion with Populism. There is a gulf between true Democra cy and Populism which no Democrat oan cross without leaving behind what is worth far more than anything he can gain hy the excursion. The Democratic party alone swept the country in 1892. In 1896 allied with Populism it was badly beaten. In 1900, when it not only took in Pop ulism, but silver Republicans and every other 'ism'' that it could acquire, it suffered a still more comp?ete de feat. Thc Kansas Democrats seem to feel, like tho Democrats of other parts of the country, that it is time to get back to old principles and old associations. When the Democratic party shall line up for the next fight let us hope, that there will be nobody but Demo- J (.rats in command and on guard. The Democracy has lost vastly mere by fusion than it has ever gained and will lose ovory timo it resorts to that pol icy.-At fa >t ta ./ou mal.

Pope Brown, of Hawkinsville, asked about the crops in Georgia to-day, said he was by no means en couraged. He has been traveling ex tensively as the representative of the State Fair and being a farmer him self his observation was that of an expert. "I do not think there will be 70 per ceut of an average crop," said Mr. Brown. "The grass had cotton by thc throat and it will not releaso its grasp. Many of the farmers cannot repair the damago that has been wrought during the many days of wet weather. The injury has been irrevo cably done. In some cases that have reached my observation there is not the slightest apparent change for re deeming the cotton. Thc farmers have appreciated this and havo deter mined not to try to do anything with their cotton. "I have advised some of thom to make tho best of the situation and let the grass in thc cotton fields con stitute their crop. Some of them have told mc that they would do so, and they will buy presses for pack ing thc hay in bales. It will find a ready market and the farmers will no do ro bad after all. They will simply have to sit and watch the graBS grow. Labor will not be re quired, so that they will save in this way. Corn is better than cotton. That crop will do comparatively well if conditions remain good. I never Baw the cotton crop of the State so bad." - MW .> - Did not Speak with Knowledge. On a clear and beautiful Sunday morning in a parish not far from Mil waukee, a priest was pleased to note the presence at service of an unusual ly large number of the male members of his congregation, and, since he had been informed of considerable trouble in his flock, he considered ii ac op portune time to give those present a friendly, yet pointed, sermon on for bearance. He charged the men, par ticularly the married men, to be ever kind, oourteous and considerate to wo men, to overlook all opportunities for trouble, to be good to them and solici tous of their welfare, and finished with a masterly peroration relating to connubial decency on the part of hus bands.
