There is something startling in the rapidly
accommodating number of Undecided murders

the community. The case of the .Jovce
children, of the Lehan and Landergan
girls, of Mr., Lane of Dorchester, Of Abiah
Ellis and Of the girl in oxford street. n
week or two since, not to speak of mystic
rous disappearances of which the mystery
is not yet solved, will readily recur TO the
reader in this vicinity. These cases diff
fered very widely in the character of the
victims, in the motives probably acting
upon the perpetrators, in the locality and
surroundings of the crime, in the time of
day at which it was committed and in other
details, but the one result of impunitv has
been common to all and the murderers. for
aught that we know, are still passing out
and IN among us, aud perhaps-as they
have no small encouragement to do-fag-

pllances of civilization at its command.
seems powerless TO protect itself against
these Thugs of society, who pursue their
flendish work in n secresy as elfcctual as
that which is found among the forests and
by-ways of llindostan. Worse still we
seem to have lost in sclf-dcfensivc cfci-
cncy with what is called the "progress" OF
the times, so that absolutely crime here Inns
a great advantage now over the earlier DAYS
of New England, when there was not only
less of it, but what there was much surer

sIic New s.Oan.

According to special Washington adj
vices from reporters who are usually the
best informed and most Trustworthy. the
following interesting points concerning the
successful negotiation of the new loan have
been CLEANED: The terms OF this contract
are more favorable than any previous loans.
Former bonds were negotiated ut one-half
of one per cent and concession of three
months interest, which seemed to practi-
cally make the commission for these par
ties one and onc-hali per cent. There is
nothing of this in the arrangement conclud-
ed by Secretary BristoW. The only ex-
pensc or charge whatsoever is the one
quarter OF one per cent. commission The
interest is not Tapped. The United States
is the only government which places its
loan at par, and the only government
which gives SO small Il commission for the
negotiation of its loans. In this case Bris-
tow has only given one,half the com
mission authorized.
The advantage is that the negotiation has
been SO sklllfuily arranged that there will
be in consequence no disturbance in the
gold or exchange market in this country.
The sale of the greater part of this loan to
foreign capitalists will help to keep in this
country in the treasury large surplus of
gold, and this facilitates the day of specie
payments. Those who have advocated
that the entire loan should be let TO home
bidders have overlooked the fact that what
is called the five per cent loan is in point
OF fact not loan, but simply Il refunding,
and that, for every dollar of the new bonds
which is issued dollar of the outstanding
five-twentics must be called in.

Halfway EpOsta. Service,

The question whether or not the govern
ment can compel railroad companies to
haul postal cars at rate fixed by govern
ment itself is in fair way to be settled.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bati-
more company has given the postolllce de-
partment notice that after the lst of August
it will be compelled to drop the postal cars
from its trains, the compensation allowed
for the service being considered inadequate
and unsatisfactory. This is understood to
be pioneer case, and will be one of the
first questions for Governor Jewell to at
tend to upon entering the duties of his new
