It wae discovered last night that In ft little box of a bedroom on the second floor of tbe rear tenement boose. No. o41 East Twelfth street, a ion had cut Mi old mother throat with a razor and then ended hi own life by the same mean. The woman, who was more man ninety yean old and tottering on the brink of the grave, was Mrs. Lena Kamsmullur, and ber son Charles, the murderer and ftuicide, waa a man of flfy yeari.-New York Tribune, May 17. From tbe following report of thle tragedy, tbe first paragraph of which is Above quoted, we gather the following facts: Charles Samsmullur and his mother were living in two rooms of a four story brick tenement, tbe rooms being i kitchen 1 feet square, with two win dows looking oo an enclosed court, and a 12 x 12 dark bedroom that Is a bed rnnm with ao windows., room with only a door to ventilate It. Tbo bed room contained a double and single Ant. TbA iced mother, with both iuffular veins and windpipe severed, lay upon one cot, and tbo son, with throat cut in similar manner and tbo rainr nlenched In his dead hand, WAS found upon tbe other, bis blood having flowed in a creat cool upon tbo Hoor between. Whether the mother calmly consented to her death awake, or was killed In ber sleep, cannot be known, but there was no indication of astrug frle. Th kitchen bore evidence of dire poverty. It contained seven chairs, an old rocker, a small secretary, a table, a small stand, a No. 4 tiny cook stove, a few pots and pans, a 'small cupboard and a few dUhcs, but no food, a small box at contained a catechism (they were religious, it seems) and a few old letters. A bank book was also found which showed that Mr. Samsmullur bad bad trA'l on deposit In the Bowery Savings Bank, but all except 1 had been drawn out. Tbe lat sum drawn (. 00) waf taken from the bank May 7. Mr. Samsmullur bad been out of work two months or more and absolute destitu tion was staring them In tbe face, His landlord states that hi vat not a drink ing man, and that be was fond of hie mother. Tbe neighbors also say that the mother and son never quarrelled. A neighbor left them feeling or at least appearing as usual at 11 o'clock of tbe eight that tbo dreadful deed was do elded on and done. We bare given all these details us we found tbom reported in the Tribune, ono of the great dallies which bas no sympathy nor fair words for tbe men who refuse to eithor beg or sulcidf, but walk to Washington to petition Con grass for work that they - may indepen dently and honorably lire, We have given tbe particulars that our subscri bers may know, and that a few of our religious exchanges that have only miserably Inadequate charity to pro pose for tbe poor, and not ovpn char itable words for the Commonwealers, may see that those who save from their scanty wages, those who waste nothing in drink, those who have received the present (merely printed) frospel, those whose hearts are tender and loving, an ilartinfft are dying, art driven to mi- cidt and the murder of the!' httd ontt, to escape from the present be' I of an un just, uncharitable, self seeking world Just a few words to tbo preachers and editors of religious papers and thcolo gleal professors (tbe writer is a church member, too): What sort oi a law Is this tnat you are preaching and teaching, which dis covers no social cause, no legal cauto for such a hell as this man lied from? tay hit blood and the blotd of hit agtd mother it on you.

BoMton Congregatlonalist. It Is not easy to be charitable to the uucbaritabic. It Is bard to believe that there is any excuse for the malevolence or stupidity and Ignorance wrapped up n the lent three sentences quoted above, because tbev are the words of a pro fessed disciple of Christ whore gospel was to the poor, and of a man wbo ought to know that tho 4,000,0H) work ers In this country who for from six to twelve months past have been unable to find either a free place to work or an employer, are not responsible for their Idleness and consequent need. ' We should like to ask this reverend editor whether the millions who bave been thrown out of a place and employ ment bave any right to life and liberty. If they have a right to live they must have a right to labor. If they bave a right to labor, and the factories, work shops and vacant land are closed and fenced against them, the local govern ment, tho state or the nation must em ploy them, or tbey cannot live by tbelr own labor, liut tnis J .onion man can this "paternalism," and aiks, "li it not time that this porniclous Idea be driven from our minds?' He virtually says to each one of tbe vast army of unem ployed, to Christ's brethren In need, "Root or die," and this, knowing full well that he will not be allowed to labor on either private or publlj ground. Die or beg, perish or lose your Indepen. donee, Is what tbe laws at present com pel. Note tbe second sentence of tbe paragraph above quoted. Have, the unemployed made any charge against their former employers and did they de mand of them that they be kept em ployed? No such charge or demand has been made. But If private parties cannot employ them profitably, It does not follow that they must live in unpro ductive Idleness or starve, "f ho pur pose to render the least possible return In actual service for the largest possible amount of pay," Is what all are practicing In tbe business world, and It I this scliUh universal rule and struggle which bas given u the land lords and landless, the capitalists and tbe proletariat, the class who demand that another clais shall forever pay them rent or usury, and get off the earth (the usurer's earth) when no ono will hire them.

That Is why be objects to these millions being set at work. He thinks the taxpayers and the thrift would have to pay them And be believes non-Interest bearing bonds or green packs would have to be paid In gold, and the taxpayers would have a hard time getting it. Well, tbey would, that's a fact. So if it is true that exchanges can only be made with gold or an obligation to pay gold, there is no hope for tbe landless and moneyless. But this preacher and teacher must have a way to save his conscience and Justify the ways of usurers. And here It is in bis own lauguage: Suppose the men are responsible for their idleness, that they have done their part in producing tneee times of depres sion, in rendering it Impossible for capital to engage in business, tbat they bave wasted tbelr wages, or that tbey refuse the kind of employment now offered them, and the wages which can now be paid? Is it not time to insist anew on tbe responsibility of every American cltl.on to provide for himself, and on tbe cer tainty tbat If he refuses to work when work Is offered him, or to be prudent, be himself must tuffer from it tbat neither tho government of the state nor tbe nation will care tor bim? Note tho unreasonableness of tbe supposition that tbo unemployed bave Jped depress business by expending Uielr wages, that is, buying goods out of the market and so making a demand for more goods. It Is those who have boarded their rent, interest and divi dend tribute wbo have left an exactly corresponding percentage of goods le tbe markets and reducing tho demand below the supply made It necessary to stop production and throw the millions out of work. Monopoly, greed, accumu lation, these are the causes of business depression, not over buying on the part of tbe poor. Buying more, not buying loss, higher wages, not lower, are tbe remedies for lack of employment. Low wages lead regularly to no wages.

A OONSFIRAOY OF SILENCE, Tbero sooms to be a conspiracy of sil ence on the part of the Associated Press now to give no news hardly of the Com monweal movement, to report that It is goipg to pieces, Jcc, Judge Bradley of the court of the national capltol district refused to grant the writ asked for for Coxey, Brown and Jones to socure an appeal, and they were to receive their sentences ' of fines and imprisonment last Thursday. We have noteveu been able to find that reported, but may have overlooked It. it Is believed by the Congress-owning plutocracy that If they can by foul and unconstitutional means get these men jailed the Commonweal will disband, and tho armies and navies on the way will be deterred from com ing to plead with Congress. But force repression, tbe jailing as felons of men whoso only crlmo is an attempt to plead peaceably for tho poor, is fools' mad ness on the part of the class in power. There is now an added reason for marchlug to Washington. Commodore Kelly and his Industrial navy, with numbers Increasing, are now on the "Father of Waters" fast floating on toward tbo mouth of the Ohio, and a steam tug will In a few days land them at rituburg. With this wise, resource ful and noble leader in Washington the armies of the unemployed will continue to gather. In the mountain states west and northwest the unsuccessful efforts of several of the bands to secure paid f r or tree rUles have landed a hundred or more of their leaders In prison, and prWon camps have bten formed by V, S troops and marshal's for arrested bodies of Industrials.

It Is uncertain that It will do that oven. We must have more revenue Instead of lees The amended bill If passed will add forty per cent to tbe sugar bill of every family In the country, and the Louisiana sugar planters are trying to make tbe tax forty-five per cent. Since tbo tariff bill left ths House and tbe agreement In tbe committee to place this tariff on sugar, Sugar Trust certificates bave ad vanced thirty per cent. GormaB and the other senators who bave to be paid In sugar for their support of the bill will of course get a big rake off. But putting the tax on sugar will take it off of somt thing else. About so much revenue is bound to be raised, and there is ao actual difference worth mentioning between a Republican "rob' ber tariff'' and a Democratic "robber tariff." Tbe light between the parties and the tons of tariff talk which fill the congressional liecord is all part of a bamboozling game to fool tbe people, while moneylords, landlords and capl tallste are robbing and enslaving them A MORALLY DEAD MACHINE. Tbe Democratic wbat-is-lt machine seems to be sticking In the mire of cor ruption. Most of its eloquent party arraignment of a robber tariff was talk to catch suckers, apparently. At any rate the honest tariff reformers in It are powerless to perform tbe party pledges. Hence the party is ol no earthly use. Congressman Barter of Ohio is doing some plain talking about bis party and the tariff bill, which we quote below: "I shall not vote for the Senate tariff bill unless It Is greatly changed and rates are largely reduced before it reaches tbe House, it neither tastes, smells nor feels like a Democratic measure. - The average duties In tbe Wilson bill as it passed tbe House were higher. than the Ucpublioan national platform of I WW demanded, and about three times as high as a Damocratlo bill should bare carried; but as it put iron ore, coal, wool and agricultural Implements on tho free list, and at least squinted toward decent taxation, 1 voted lor it. jr, nowever. we pass tbe Senate bill, 'and It bncomes a law and Is known as a Democratic measure, we will be tbe laughing stock of all crea tion. There Is a distinction between it ami tbe McKlnley bill, but practically no real dllT-renoe. I greatly prefer to lot tbe McKlnley bill, with Its enor mous taxes and Us startling treasury deficiency, work eut its own damnation. II we pass tbls wretched abortion of a Senate bill the protected Interests will nave practically an tbe plunder tbey gctundortbe McKlnley measure, and we as a party win get tbe ridicule oi our Republican opponents and in tbe end curses of a deceived public. If passed and branded a Damocratlo meas; ure it will stamp us as a lot of imbeciles, and our managers in both houses as drivelling idiots." The basis of our present prosperity the firm foundation ' of all confidence and credit and honesty Is again leaving us at an alarming rate. The gold we lately borrowed with botds bas gone, but the bonds ah! yesthe boads re main. In January we lost $1,000,000 from tbe single pillar of our national support. la Fobruary $:i,OCO,000. In March $9,400,000. In tbo first half of May about $15,000,000 of the only ma terial to pay bonds and mortgages and contracts for "honest" dollars, was drawn to Europe. And $.'10,000,000 worth of excess of other exports over lm ports went along wl th our gold. And if the foundation falls away what can tbe righteous do? If all our gold goes, all our prosperity goes and all our prop erty; for the value of the gold Is equal to the value of all wealth that must be exchanged for it, and we can't live, move and bave a being without gold. Don't talk to us about flat rags and coining "vacuum" and "fifty cent dol lars.1' We must have Intrinsic value In our commercial yardstick, a yardstick worth as much always as the goods it measures. And there Is nothing which bas Intrinsic, undeprcciatlcg value ex cept the stuff which we and God Al mighty dec eed in 1T3 should measure every thing elue. See?

Tub Tuesday dailies say that Coxey, Browne and Jones bave had their pluto cracy sentence passed on them, from which, of course, there is no appeal. It Is 20 days imprisonment aad a five dollar fine for being crowded on the grass, as 5,000 others net arretted were, and for having about them a 2 x 6 inch dangerous, anarchistio motto, which read, ''Peace on Kartb, Good Will to Men, but death to Interest on Bonds." The Commonweal leaders, whose real crime was an effort to plead for the poor were handcuffed with adoen white and colored workhouse prisoners aa com panions and taken to tbe "black marla." The power that be will bear from the people next November. Tneyare be ing weighed in the balances, as Bel shaz.ar was, England is getting much alarmed over tbe restireness of the ODorcssed classes In India. It is manifctting itself in tbe form of Incendiarism and sudden riots. "The industrial condition U pre carious and involves such widespread suffering that popular discontent t-ould hardly havo been avoided under the mostfavorable circumstrnces," says Tbe Outlook. England is anxious, because it endangers tbe vast oppressive tribute whloh she and her wealthy citl.cns now squeeze out of the famishing heathen. Hicnator Gordon In his recent speech on the Allen resolution declared that the reason there were no Coxey ) Coxey use "tbe py, con! 4 w ldftu) armies in tbe south was because south alto has Negro labor, happy tented, with few wants." IIo and desirable that sounds to tbe rich rulers who wish to pile up profits out of tbe workers' toll! Workers with few wants and content to produce surplus wcaun ior tneir masters, are what are needed, and tbe present workers must be educated down to a Negro slave and Chlneso coolie level of life. That is the plutocratic plan. Mlt. LkFevre In this issue expresses his opinions and further reasons why Mayor Welr should not be our candi date for governor. We desire to call attention to the fact that we shall be glad to bear, and oiler space to, the other side. This paper Is sot working for favorite candidates.

II. ttroady, Chairman of Gongresslon al Committee, Lincoln, Neb. My Dear lair: As the time Is approaching when It will be necessary to take some action 1 n regard to the congressional cam pal g n 1 det-m it my duty to announce through you to my constituents tbat I ball not be a candidate for re-election this fall. While I bave been assured of tbe con tinued support of friends in tbe Demo cratic party, and of many who hare otber party affiliations, 1 am unwilling to enter a contest which, if waged suc cessfully, would conllne me to the dis trict during tbe campaign. . I do not expect to bo a candidate for any ollice, but shall return, to private life with far more interest In public affairs than I bad when I entered Con gress. Mr observation here convinces me that tho necessity for reform In our financial system, In our system of tax ation, and In many other direction, grows moro imperative every day.
