Fearful Statement.
The Chicago Tribune makes a ppe
cialty of keeping tab on the mur
ders and suicides in this Country and
presents its reports at the end ot
each year. It ligures up for lM'rt,
10,(i52 murders, apniiibt 10,500 tor
1M5. Thoie has been an annual
increase since lS'JO, when ihe total
was 4,200, the number. being more
than doubled in the meantime. The
causes assigned aie as follows :

The suicides show even a greater
increase. In 1S0O they numltered
2."'4o ; in '91, 3,531 ; in '02, 3,Mio ;
u 03. 4.430 ; in '94, 4,012 ; in "05.
5.759 ; in '96, C.52", with a start for
ls07 which protuis: s toeclipse this.
Here we have not lar from a three
told increase of suicides inix years,
and about half as many suicides as
murders in the snme time. The
principal reason given lor the sui
cides is despondency; insanity, ill
health, domestic inteliei'y, liquor,
business losses and disspp lintment
in love figuiing mure or its-. The
fact that despondency wasthemttin
ctiise in these suie.des shows ln.w
public policies stTert rmt only the
piople as a whole, nt the ptopleas
individuals, and totke tht mseives
felt in all the walks of lite. The
despondency aa ca tired by indus
trial and liusiiiess depression, due
mainly to public poii.-ita, which
made the 6t"iii.'g!c for biead too
severe and liio a burden to too
many.
It wiil la; a surprise to many to
learn that the celebrated evangelist,
Dwight L. MiKidv, is opposed to
prohibition. In 11 -ston a lew ds
ago Mr. Moody declared lhat he was
opposed to prohibition because he
was cotivincfd that it wi.uld not
prohibit. Mr. Moody is for local
option, bnt for just what reason i
iii-t clear.

the assistance of ono of his fftnur.
siYccecded in getting tho two men
