Crime in the United States.

1t has been estimated by Mr.. G. An
gelI, of Massachusetts, that the annual
cost of crime in this country Is two hun
dred millions of dollars. 1t has more
than doubled in the past ten years.
Crime in Massachusetts IS thirty-thTee
per cent. greater than in Ireland; and
the great question now for all good citi-
zens is, how are we going to stop this
increase of crime? The education of the
intellect will not do it the churches can
not stop it, for not half the people of the
United States ever 90 to church. The
Sunday schools can not stop 1t. There
are only two remedies: One Is to multi
ply jails, police courts, judges, peniten-
tiaries, COnstabulary. etc, and the other,
in the words of DR. Holland:
" If you want to stop rascals, you must
stop raising them"
The columns of the newspapers will
not cease to lee filed with the records of
crime and misery while thousands of
children are allowed to grow up without
moral, religious or mental education,
and the only way to reach these children
Is through the public schools
For the safety of republican institu-

No FEMININE LAWYERS FOR WISCON-
sIN.-Chief Justice Ryan has rendered
the decision of the supreme court deny
ing the application made some weeks
since by Miss G0Odeil, of GAINESVILLE, TO
practice in that court The opinion was
elaborate, and critically examines the
statutes and fOrtifies and illustrates the
opinions advanced. II is held that, if
the legislature has power to prescribe the
terms of admission to practice in the
courts-and that is a legislative and not
judicial pOwer-there is no Wisconsin
statute authorizing the admission of te-
males to a bar which the common law
has always excluded them. 1t is held
that the rule of construction APPLYING
the words masculine gender to females is
only permitted to aid in constituting
statutes according to legislative intent,
and that neither in nor out of the statute
can any such legislative intent to admit
women TO the bar be found. If this rule
OF construction were applied to the
statutes, to which it is equally applica-
bic, It would break down all distinctions
OF sex IN state government, and admit
women to nearly all public offices. exec
utive, legislative and judicial. The
court says 1t is not sorry no statute can
be found admitting women to the bar of
state courts, for it does not think it
proper place for the exercise of her pecu-
liar qualities or for the preservation of
her purity. " EHs4
