STATISTICS or CRniE.-The New York
legislature appointed a committee to inyes-
tigate the cause of the increase Of crime in
the city of New York, and their report is
worth the attention of the authorities in all
other cities. They say that all such crimes
as pahel-thieying gambling, lottery and pol
icy swindling, and Illicit liquor selling are
allowed by connivance of the police. Even
the more degrading forms Of crime find help
from the same source. These are results
which might be expected where political
management is carried on as a game FOR per
sonal advantage rather than the common
veal. 1t is long road that never turns.
By-andby another wave Of reform will sweep
over New York. Her great trouble is that
she is burdened with ignorant masses Of men
capable OF being used by designing and I'M
scrupulous men,

DEMOCRATS are endeayoring to make
partisan capital out of recent exposures of
corruption on the part of few Republican
officials. They represent that the way to
avoid corruption in the future is to elect
democratic President. Is that sound reason
ing The Republican party has been puri-
flying itself by ferreting out the bad men
withinits ranks, and they have been exposed,
punished, and deprived of all influence in the
party Is it not better to continue in power
the party thus purified, than to place power
in the hands OF party in which there never
has been and never will be purifying pro-

WoMEN AS PHYsIcIANs.-lhe question Of
recognizing women as physicians by the
medical societies of England has been ex-
citing no little interest in the country. The
General Medical Council Of Great Britain
were asked their opinion as to whether wo-
men ought to be registered as practitioners
OF medicine, and they appointed a commit
tee to consider the subject, the result being
a report to tho effect that while the prac-
tice of medicine presents many special
difficulties 10 women, which cannot safely be
disregarded, they are not prepared to say
that women should be excluded from the
profession, but they believe that the educa-
ton Of women as physicians ought always
to be conducted in separate schools, though
the course of education and examination
should not in any respect differ from that Of
men. The report was adopted.

DR LINpERMAN, the director Of the mint
states rs his opinion, that the production Of
gold and silver after the first of May will be
seven millions dollars per month, OF which
half will be in gold, and that the fact can
not but have an important bearing on the
gold premium. The comptroller of the cur
rency has prepared a statement, showing that
the amount of additional national bank cur
rency issued under the act of Congress, APP
proved July II, 1875, from January %, l776,
to February 20, 1876 inclusive, is four hun
bred and twelve thousand one hundred and
eighty-fve dollars issued previously, thir-
teen million four hundred and eight thou
sand five hundred and seventy five dollars /;
and the total issue from the date OF the APP
proval of the act to this time is thirteen mil
lion eight hundred and twenty thousand
seven hundred and sixty dollars.

Ii there is anything more absurd than
English photography, we confess we do not
know where to look for it. From the mere
sound Of a word you can no more tell how
it ought to be spelled, according to the die
tionary, than gypsy can tell your fortune
by looking at the palm of your hand. We
say according to the dictionary, for law, in
many cases, there is none. Why should we
write "receiye," and Immediately follow it
with believe" and then 60 on to "be-
reave," giving an utterly confusing change
Of yowels for precisely the same sound? If
there is any law or principle involved, we
have failed to discover it,

CRASHING roo MUCu.-The circumstances
under which cent becomes larger than a
cart-wheel have been developed in Chicago's
grain trade during the past year. Grain
passes to the seaboard south aud east Of the
iity An examination at the close Of the
year showed that the shipments from Chi.
ago for 1915 were fifteen million bushels
less than in the preceding year, while the
shipments from competing grain centres
we're largely increased. 1t appears that the
cause of this falling off was in the fact that
the expense Of handling grain in Chicago
vas greater 10y two cents hu,hel than at
ompeting points and there was, therefore,
no room for doubt that those two cents had
caused the diversion Of this vast amount of
grain. These extra pennies made q good
leal Of mischief with Chicago, and if they
had been further imposed after the discov-
ry, the city would in a very short time have
lost the whole Of her trade, except that which

SNow oN THE CENTRAL PAcIFIc.-The
difficulties encountered from the snow in the
first winter after the Central Pacific rail-
road was opened through the gorges of the
Rocky Mountains seemed likely to interfere
very seriously with the usefulness Of the
road. But the engineers and officials have
developed SO much ingenuity and vigor in
meeting emergencies, that the bockades from
the greatest storms arc now no longer the
formidable affair Of entire weeks they once
We're, and stoppages lasting even for DAYS now
rarely occur The road in the most danger
Gus gorges is rooted over for miles, while
with ingeniou-ly constructed snow plows
and whole trains oflocomotiycs behind them
the railroad men now plunge through drifts
Of snow that a few years ago would have
caused them TO stand aghast. A winter trip
across the Sierras is no longer regarded as a
serious undertaking

IIops AND ToBAcco.-This is tho way the
Greenfield (Nlass.) Glseae talks to its wide
farming constituency, moved by the strait Of
the tobacco growers 1t is true, farmer
may not get rNh so fast in marketing butter
in selling cattle, hay etc, as he would II he
had a run Of good luck in tobacco raising ;
but where one tobacco man gets rich hun
bred are brought to their ruin. This has
been so well demonstrated of late, that we
want TO see our farmers profit by the lesson I;
get down once more TO the hard-pan, and re-
lieve themselves and all who depend upon
them from the distress which now so weighs
us down" The same state of things exists
in the hop market, the price not paying the
cost of growing. And although an occa-
sional streak Of luck has enabled men
here and there to make money out of these
two crops, yet, on the whole the business
sxemplihes pretty well the old proyerb, that
"what is got over the devils back will go
under his belly" There is no instance Of
permanent prosperity arising from the pro-
ductioh oil anything injurious TO the human
race; and 50 long as the nature of the Deity
continues TO be what Christians generally
believe it to be, il is difficult TO see how any
blessing can fall upon labor, the result Of
which is harmful 10 the bodies or souls Of
men. We trust that farmers will reflect upon
this, and not be SO hasty to get rich as to
place themselves outside of the course OF
| mercy, in what they do 10 that end

QUEEN VICTORIA opened Parliament this
year in person, and the event was one OF
great Importance to the English people
She has been much secluded for fifteen years,
and has not opened Parliament in person
since 1871. She rode in the procession in
close state carriage drawn by eight cream
colored horses, almost covered by gold and
blue trappings. Accompanying her were
the princess OF Wales and Princess Beatrice.
Her Majesty looked exceedingly well, and
bore herself with perfect regal air as she
acknowledged the demonstrations Of the
crowd.

celebration of the twenty-frst anniversary
Of Washington University, in St. Louis, last
week, and, as usual with his speeches, it was
full Of good sense. lie laid peculiar stress
on one of the leading fault, of our schools,
in the haste that is generally displayed to
get over the rudimentary branches and into
the more attractive aud diversified fields Of
science and literature. lie well said that
the most important thing in education was a
sound beginning, and there should be the ut
most care and pains bestowed TO make every
child thorough in the rudinents To hurry
over these is unwise to the last degree
they are the very foundation Of all learning
and the rest will come the easier if they are
thoroughly mastered. We want more leis-
ure, more thoroughness in the first steps, and
less examining and hurrying in our systems
of instruction.

RussIa,s POLICY.

LONDON, April pa despatch to the Rus
sian Telegraphic Agency says the Porte makes
it point of military honor not to consent to
an armistice until Nicsic is revictualed by force
of arms. The powers, however, still hope to
prevent the extension of war. A later telegram
to the same agency declares on authority that
the assertion that Russia has proposed to
demand the autonomy of Bosnia and Herze-
govina is untrue. Russia adheres to her origi-
nal programme, namely, the maintenance of
the present status in Turkey and the ameliora-
ton of the Christian subjects of the Porte
She will not deviate therefrom except in accord
with the five other great powers. The insur-
gents are willing to permit the Montenegrins to
reVctual Nicsic if the Porte consents to fresh
armistice and pledges himself not to reinforce
its troops during the armistice. The Porte per-
sists in revictualing Nicsic by force. Peace de-
ponds upon the Porte

en- avowal is impossible.
Nicsic Revictualed.
MosTAR, April 30.-The following is official:
Mukhtar Pasha telegraphs that he has entered
Nicsic in triumph after defeating the great
mass of insurgents at the Presieka and occupy
ing their intrenchments. Nicsic has been re-
victualed.

BELGRADE, April 30.-It is stated in govern.
ment circles that the militia have been ordered
to supply themselves with a weeks provisions
and to hold themselves in readiness to march
at "a hours notice.
MOntenegro's Intention.
BERLIN, April 30.-The Porte has sent cir
cular note to its representatives abroad, dated
April II, instructipg them to draw the atten-
ton of the various governments to the support
given by Montenegro to the instruction. The
Porte disclaims any intention of attacking
Montenegro and expressed the confident hope
that the powers by their moral cooperation will
contribute to the pacifcaton of the insurgent
provinces. 1t is stated that the several govern
ments in answer have declared that they be-
lieve Montenegro's intentions peaceful.
COnrse of the Porte.
A telegram from Athens to the Times SAYS
although the Porte has been induced to aban-
don an immediate attack on Montenegro, he
will concentrate 10000 soldiers at Scutari and
$4,000 in Herzegovina. Public opinion in Tur-
key is weary of diplomatic interference. The
governments object seems to be only to gain
time to assemble forces and strike terrible
blow, regardless CT consequences. The situa-
ton is full of danger. The government is ex-
haqstng its resources in warlike preparations,
and declares it can pay nobody.
