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.

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

Short Cotton Crop.
HAWKINSVILLE, GA., June '?b.
Hou. J. 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."

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

These are twin evils which work
serious mischief in the human body.
They sap the strength, destroy energy
and impoverish the blood. As a result
of these ailments, the system gradu
ally becomes disordered and the con?

loses vitality and is unfit to stand the
strain of hard or continuous labor;
thus, the victim offers a shining mark
for kidney disease, lung trouble or the
lifetcmshing malarial fever.
