TIE CRIME OF ISss.

lfthcrc was n lingering suspicion in any
quarter that this country was approaching
tue millennium It will be dispclicd by
glance a, the statistics Of capital crime fol
the year Just past. On Al average ther,
have been each day two murders and on,
averaged only two in week and lynchings
one. During the year 72) persons have met
their deaths al the hands of their fellow men.
One hu1dred and twenty-five we're mystcli-
Gus murders. There were fifty-two wife
murders, five murders Of husbands, six par
rlcidcs, four mltricides, five fratricidcs and
two sorocides. Forty children were killed
by their parents. In twcnty-thrcc Of the
crimes there were two asslssins, in three in
stances there were three OF them. Twenty
four OF the murderers committed suicide and
one died in Jail. One hundred and one per-
sons paid the penalty Of their crimes by
death the past year. OF this number ninety
eight died on the gallows and three were
shot. Three hundred and nine persons com.
mitel suicide.
As to geographical divisions, New York
leads in murders as it does in more de-
sirable respects During the year it
had l3l murders, Of which .7G were COM
mitted in New York city and IA in Brooklyn.
Standing next to New York is Missouri, whose
record was stained with A murders and the
number runs down in diminishing ratio,
until Vermont, Montana and Delaware are
credited with one each. At the South the
homicide business has been particularly
livcly-and We commend the figures to the
attention Of the Boston Post, which said the
other day that mo Southern States Of $50,
900 inhabitants can show an annual record
of crime as black and monsrous as that of
vermont Now of the Southern States,
Missouri had A murders during the year :
Virginia 43, Kentucky 81, Texas 81, Arkan-
sas "a, Tennessee 81, North Carolina 10,
Georgia lG, Mississippi 10, Alabama
and Maryland eight each, South Caro-.
lima aud Louisiana seven each; and
Florida three. This shows, therefore,
that the most peaceful Southern State
had three times as many murders as
Vermont; and the average number for
the thirteen Southern States named is nearly
%. But this by 10 means tells the whole
story. During the year there were five
lynchings in Alabama, four each in Kentuc-
Ky, Louisiana, and South Carolina; three 10
Missouri two each in Florida, Mississippi
aud Texas; and one each in Arkansas, Lou
islaaa, Missouri and Virginia, In other
words, there was al least one lyuchiug in
every Southern State except North Carolina.
II This alone-to say nothing Of the rapes,
arson, aifrays etc, which have been report.
cd from almost every county of the South
does not constitute 'record of crime" far

Gratifying and satisfactory is the showing
made by The Deputy Auditor for the Post
Office Department. showing the large increase
in the receipts Of the department. Accord
ing to this not only is the department self
sustaining, but it leaves considerable excess
az a revenue. The total amount of stamps
sold in tie third quarter of 1882 was $40
03G, Isl 80. The preceding quarter 1t was
S9,SS9 Gil G3 showing an excess Of sales in
the third quarter Of $l47,11020. The gross
receipts Of all the postoiliccs, for the quarter
ended September 80, 1882, were $40, 4sl, =
G1S.90; for the quarter ended June 30, 1882,
$40 S2s, 5104S, showing an excess Of receipts
in TIL third quarter OF $1G3 lGS.42. These.
facts are in themselves Il strong argument in
favor of the reduction # letter postage from
8 to cents, and tic abolition of postage on

The tax question is troubling New York
too In his message Governor Cleveland
said: "The impcrfcction of our laws touch
ing the matter Of taxation, or the faulty exc.
cution Of existing statutes on the subject, is
glaringly apparent. The power Of the State
TO exact from the citizen a part of his earn
ings and income for the support of the gov
crnmcnt, it is obvious, should be exercised
with absolute fairness and justice. When it
snol so exercised, the people are oppressed
This furnishes the highest and the best reason
why laws should be enacted and executed
which will subject all property, as all alike
need the protection Of the State TO an equal
share in the burdens Of taxation, by means of
which the Government is maintained And
yet it is VIGOROUSLY true that personal prop
erty not less renumcraliye than land and real
estate, escapes to very great extent the pay
ment of its fair proportion OF the expense in
cident to its protection and preservation I'M
der the law. The people should always be
able to recognize, with the pride aud salislac-
tion which are the strength Of our insttu-
tions, in the conduct Of the State, the source
of undiscriminaing justice, which can give
no pretext for discomfort

YER MONT WINTER.

A Vermont Winter--,hc very words send q
chill down the back The METROPOLITAN in.
valid, as he reads them, draws closer to the
hot-air hole in the floor, and the Florida pll,
grim puts on his straw hat and hurrics out
into the orange grove, And yet, for one
whose spinal column is not SKATER
cd as easily as a pipe of cut-glass, there is
nothing intolerablc in good healthy dash
of frost and north wind. There is an exhila-
ration and satisfaction, rather, in what some
are plclsed to Call the horrors of u Vermont
Winter. More than half Of those who flee
to the South at the first coming of The snow,
do so more from force of habit and II certain
fearful looking forward, than from any real
necessity, or from hygienic prudence
In fact, if one of them docs chance to
stay at home, the improvement in
his health is almost invariably remarked by
his friends and reluctantly confessed by him
self. There IS nothing unhealthy about cold,
1t is simply kind OF oxygen draught on the
vital fires, which at first reduces their tenn
perature ard then causes them to glow long
time with unwonted fl.rceness.
The present winter has been, so far, more
like the good old-fashioncd season which the
New England poets and story-tellels have
celebrated than any winter We have had for
u long time. There has been an almost I'M
interrupted succession of clear, Geld days
not intensely cold, but cold enough to be ex-
haraiing, and to keep the animal mechan-
ism at high pressure. 1t has also, and con-
been an exceptionally healthy
seasou-very much in contrast with the win
ter of 1872, in this respect. We have had
all the snow we needed fer good sleighing,

The Director of the Mint has prepared a
statement as 10 the operation of the Silver
law during the calendar year Of 1881, which
shows that the total increase Of the coinage
Of silver dollars during the year has been
S21, 514, 100, of which sum only So, 1876
have gone into circulation, and only Sc, 1885,
$40 have been put out in the form of silver
certificates The remainder as the director
remarks, remains in the Treasury ''for dis
tribulion." The Treasury held on January
l, s04 Ole, sac in silver dollars, Of which
over S6S 600, 900 were to redeem certificates
Unless Congress repeats the present Law, it
is evident We must 60 on adding more than
800, 600 COO a year to uncurrent coin in vain
attempt TO check the continually falling price
in silver. When under the present laws We
began our experiment the standard silver dol
lar was worth SO cents We have coined over
Sl53, 900 900, and The standard dollar is now
worth 81 cents.

1t was noted that there were many deaths
of prominent peoplci in the first month of last
year, and 1882 begins in the same way. The
death of Gambetia, the French statesman,
was II surprise to many admirers, and the ia
tai attack of disease upon Minister Allen at
the Presidents reception was sad incident
at what was in other respects such an elab-
orately joyful affair. The sister of Haw-

u the result of eating grain which had

THE WATER BOARD.

Proceedings of tie Regular Meeting Last
Night.
A regular meeting of the water board
was held last evening in the Office Of the
superintendent with all tbs members pres
ent.
Engineer Waters reported that 1920
feet of pipe we're required to lay mains
ordered by the city council, being mainly
twelve, eight and six inches in diameter.
Commissioner G-imshaw stated
he was not yet ready to
report the consumption of water
and special rates. He was allowed an
other week, in which to prepare the same.
The budget of bills, approved by the
committee Oh claims were ordered paid.
The bill of the North Star Iron works for
81, l06 on the contract for furnishing sec
tions of the distribution pipe was pre-
scented and laid over.
The following proposals for furnishing
g gate and fume for new pump, were
received. Pray Manufacturing Co, gate
$552.80; fume $2,062.80.
~. McBale wheel case $2,183.80.
North Star Iron works, gate $645;
wheel case, S2,283. 70.
Referred to tho committee on construc-
ton to be reported at the next meeting.
The following bids for excavatiDg the
rock for wheel pit were received: Geo
McMulleR, $685.; John Burns, $3,375.25
Same reference.
The matter Of contracting for the manu-
facture Of pipe needed next year was dis
cGssed at length. Commissioner Foote
explained that from his experience and
from consultation with manufacturers the
pipe can be made in the winter
ut much less cost than in sum
mer. Referred TO the committee on ex-
tension to report next meeting.
The contract for tunnellpg under the
tracks of the ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Man
itoba, and laying two mains, by Mr.. Dahl
green, was approved.
Commissioner Davis thought it advisa-
bic to have the matter of the new pump
which it is proposed TO have made, settled
at onca before the patents were issued.
The mayor stated that the Jumbo pump
had been stopped for the purpose of paint
ing it.
He asked the engineer to make an esti-
mate OF the cost of preparing tho East
side pumping station, and connecting i.
committee on fire can take that with the
cost of laying the mains and building the
| new pump, and il thsre is no money, Or
rather if the city council still denies the
money which belongs to If, the board will
be compelled to stop work. The
| board is ready and anzioGs to
carry out the plans, under contemplation,
The mayor, calling Commissioner Davis
TO The chair, moved that the chief engineer
| of the board together with The committee
on construction anu committee on exten-
sion make such estimate.
the old claim Of @r. Folsom for work
was brought up. Commissioner Grim
shaw explained that he hal some time
since, together with tho the committee or
extension investigated the matter and re-
ported that committee came TO the
| conclusion that Mr.. Folsom actually
