We tremble sometimes when We
think of the train robberies, murders
and other crimes that are daily COM
in this world so full of sin and
misery. 1t would take acres of space
and ink of blood, with a dagger for a
pen, to tell the atrocities of even one
year. The majority of the crimes
are committed either in the densely
populated cities o on the sparsely
settled frontiers. AS a general thing,
cities Of the size of Mexico are COM
paratively free from shocking deeds
of any kind. 1t is something aston
ishing that in a refined city like Next
co, with so many schools-with so
many church spires, piercing the
blue ether as they point the way Wise
started, should be the scene of such
a deed as we are about 10 chronicle.
We shudder as we think of recording
such an affair to be read by our-no,
we mean yoar-children and your
children's children. We hate to
think what opinion they will have of
matters and things in the times of
their forefathers. There is nothing
so calculated to encourage crime in
the young as the knowledge of deeds
committed by their %forefathers. At
the same time, some good may come
of publishing the wickedness of men
and their punishment, in that it may
warn others from ''doing likewise"
