Sunday Morning, April Is, 1875.

We wish to remind the pubEcthat on Fri
day next there will be IN election to decide
upon adopting the general charter Of 1872.
Is this charter is conceded On a11 hands to be
;napplicable to Chicago, it would ordinarily
ta1l to the ground for the want of votes. But
there are those who, for misciieyous pur-
poses, would Ike to throw the whole City
Government into confusion, and who may
quietly vote for the charter on Friday next
If no one votes against the charter, fifty votes
for it would be as efectual for its adoption as
$1,000. 1t will be necessary, therefore, for

EDUCATION AND CRIME.

| The natural history Of crime is subject
| which is only beginning to receive the at.
tention it deserves. The average educated
man knows great deal more of how moths,
| and caterpil1ars, and frogs, are produced.
than he does Of the genesis Of pickpockets,
robbers, aud murdererz. It's not to be won.
dered at TINT it is SO, since thero is really
! more known OF the former than Of the lat
ter. The production Of criminals has re-
ceived from Legislators, Statesmen, and
philanthropists, minimum Of investiga-
ton,-an amount out of all proportion with its
Importance to the social well-being Of man.
kind. 1ntimes past, the devil wasa sufficient
hypothesis to explain Ill crime. In our days,
there is growing tendency to account for it
On the principle Of hersdity. On the former
hypothesis, the criminal wns the man who
hearkened to tho demons voice, and he
differed from other men only in yielding to
the Satanic influences which they resisted
On the latter, the criminal is born predes-
tined to a life OF murder or rnpine. We have
no disposition to enter into the question Of
the efficiency Of these causes-only we would
call attention to the Ksn-nown fact that
most criminals, if not all, have had a trimming
in crime, and that there is good reason to be-
Ieve that it is education in crime which
makes men in most instances criminals,
There is school in the land not erected
at public expenso--the school OF the
street-largely attended by the chill
dren Of the wretched, by children sometimes
without father, or mother, Or guardian, Or
friend, d,-houseless, homeless, penniless,
shiifftless,- to vegetate, whom society--so
to speak-tramples upon, and who in turn
learn to tramp1e upon and to hate society.
Here th5 vast majority Of criminals arc
formed, and here the prevention Of crime
must begin. How much may be done for
society by snatohing the young out Of this
hotbed Of crime and nursery Of criminals it
is impossible to estimate but that an almost
infinite amount Of good may be accomplished
in this way is evident from what has been
done already IN the great City Of New York
by the judiciously directed efforts OF the
friends Of the little street-Arabs To Mr. II.

TEE CHATTER VOTE NEXT FRIDAY.
Those who have not paid particular atten-
ton to the progress Of the movement in favor
of a reform Of the City Charter, may not un-
derstand why it is that, si1 or seven months
ago, the Citizens Association should have
solicited and obtained 10000 signatures to a
petition asking the Common Council to sub
nit to the people, for adoption or rejection,
the General Municipal Charter OF 1872, md
that now the came Association desires that
charter to be rejected The explanation il d
simple one.
1t the time that petition was prepared tho
Legislature was not in session. The legai
prohibition Of any amendment Of the existing
charter cut of all hope Of relief in that
direction. The insufhciency OF the general
charter of 1872, and its special innpplicabi1ity
to city like Chicago, was understood; but
the conclusion was reached that it would be
best to adopt the charter Of 1872, and then,
before it went inB operation on the second
Tueeday of April, 1876, to appeal to the Leg
islature to amend it SO as to adapt it to the
wants of the CITY, The Common Council,
however, delayed action On the subject, and
finally fixed the time for the vote on the
adoption OF rejection OF the charter at date
50 remote that, if adopted, no general cleo
ton could be held under it Until April, 1877,
and at date SO renote that the Legislature
would have in tho meantime adjourned
When the Legislature met it Was discovered
that the act Of 1879 could not bs amended so
rs to adapt il to Chicago, without at the same
time amending the charters Of all the other
cities which had organized under that act, OF
were about to do 50.
It ~4 then, after full consideration and
consultation with the Cook County delega-
ton and members of the Legislature, deter
mined to have that body enact another
general charter, suitable for class Of cities
not provided for in tie act of 1872, and
containing features which those other cities
might not Eant~ Thus, the new charter
provides for tzoo Boards of Common Council
instead Of one, which is highly important for
a great city; provides for the division Of tho
executive labor among number of officers,
"a provision which, however appropriate for
large cities, would be unnecessary in. smaller
ones. It also contains limitation on the
rate ot taxation to IL mills, which Ia exceed
ingy important, and limits thu amount
