II two murderers had not been
pardoned last year our ussassin's
row would have reached %.
In 1861 our population was 587 $50 !;
In 1880 II Is G4S,0A5. Increase In 20
years, 81 ,2G5, or IA per cent.
In 1851 divorce was exceedingly
rare In Maine. Now as ex.Gov.
Dinglcy has proved to a committee
Of this Legislature, Maine leads all
New England. He shows that 478
divorces were granted In 1873, being
one man and woman out Of every
679, and he thinks that 1850 was
probably still worse.
Insanity has also steadily and
rapidly increased ut o ratio far ex-
cceding the gain in population. The
same may be sail OF suicide.
The large percentage OF youthful
convicts Is painfully suggestive.
Nearly IL per cent. were convicted
during their minority and more than
q per cent. under the age Of 80.
The average nge Of commitment is
only 25. Great injustice has been
done to our foreign born population,
and particularly to the Irish. by the
loose talk OF many,of our writers..and
speakers.
Out OF the 100 felons confined In
the State prison proper, only 80 are
OF foreign birth, only Is are natives
Of Europe, and only aro Irish; la
wore born In Maine.
In 1920 our population was about
800, 900, and IN 1910 about 100000
During those first 20 years Of the
history. OF Maine. only 2 convictions 81
murder or arson are known to have
occurred. This Is ut the rate Of one
case to 100000 Inhabitants annual.
~.
In the single year 1880, the At.
torncy- Generals report shows Z con-
victions, 8 Of which were OF murder,
being at the rate Of one conviction K
every $4,000 persons.
This reveals the appalling increase
OF forty three fold in what until 1871
was called capital crime within 4
years.

Refused Robbery.

Two weeks ago we published an
article, the main facts OF which were
gathered from the proceedings Of
the board Of Supervisors, and cor
tificates upon which it, appropria-
ton OF money was made. A further
examination OF the subject confirms
rs In every statement made In that
article. Men have been hung upon
weaker testimony than we are able
to prod showing that L. Z. Web
s:er, was seeking to rob Mrs. SAL
mon OF portion OF the estate left
her and her children, by her husband.
In confederation We offer the follow
Ing letter handed to Mrs. Salmon in
Cresco while the grand jury was in
session ono year ago by James La
throp, who stated that 1t was given
to him by Mr.. L. Z. Webster, with
the request that he deliver It to Mrs.
Salmon. This letter Mira. Salmon
was to sign and return to the grand
jury or else on failure to do SO Mr..
L. f. Webster Its author would pro.
cure her indictment. This is the
document she was to sign to escape
tho black mail Of criminal pr0sccu-
ton:
"Whereas the fence on tho south
side OF my land Is on tho limits OF
the public highway adjoining the
same In Howard Centre township.
Howard County, Iowa, and whereas
the same ohstructs the highway, and
the Grand Jury are about to find
nm indictment on account OF such
obstruction. Now therefore l here
by agree to. at once, remove said
fence from the limits Of said high
way, and give to the public free use
thereof IA II Is laid out and to the
extent OF four rods In width"
Dated April 9Th. 1850.
That is the letter, and every indf-
viduul who reads it will recognize in
