ing in the frequency of deadly
crimes as reported in the daily
press. But there is favorable
side to this exhibit. One may be
pretty sure that the worst is known
Thanks to the facilities for obtain
ing and transmitting news, one
can have in single days issue of a
morning paper large part of all
the crime everywhere committed
throughout the United States.
Looked at in this light, the sum of
atrocity is not SO very great In
proportion to the numbers among
whom it is dist ibuted.
It is the frequency OF crimes
which make it news. A good deal
must be very exceptionally peculiar
to get into the notoriety of print.
There are many virtues habitually
practised, the mention of which
would exile no comment. If it
were recorded that Mr. So and So,
a trader, returned TO the owner q
fifty dollar bill paid in mistake for
a one dollar bill, the reader would
say, "What of thats just what he
ought to do. If he had kept the
bill it might have been something
to tell of" It viii only be when
crimes are in excess of righteous
ness that they will cease to be exot
les, demanding notice, and good
deeds take their place in the tele-
graphic columns.
The details of sin ought never to
be made public where there is any
chance that they may affect' the
imagination viciously. Bulwer
speaks with great power of the
epidemic character of crimes, and
no doubt that this is fostered by
this very thing. the publication of
incidents and circumstances. But
the mere chronicling of crime,
painful as it is to read, or even to
know that it may be read, is. not
altogether bad. It helps to quick
en- the earnestness which men feel
for it's prevention. Many wrong
things are tolerated because un-
known Crime is lessened through
publicity arousing public sen timent.

A little Idaho three year old fell
into we'll recently where the wa
ter was only six inches deep, and
remained there six hours before he
was discovered. When he was
finally rescued his pent~up wrath
knew no bounds. There was no
crying about it, but such a volley
of invectives upon the heads of
neglectful parents never before fell
from childish lips. Here is sim :

A private letter from Yicksburg
contains this:
Il have no doubt in the world
that the Clinton affair, and especi
ally that part of it in which these
Vicksburg roughs participated, was
simply cold FLOODED murder Nearly
every one here knew when those
armed rufins and desperadoes left
here they would not come back
without killing few negroes, even
if they had to go miles in the coun :
try to find them. They left here,
many of them, full of whisky, and
came back that way, yelling and
grinning as they marched through
the streets as though they had
routed valiant foe instead of wan
tonly numbering in cold blood n lot
of innocent negroes trying to get
out of their way."-Cin. Com.
