THE CONNECTICUT CRIMES,


shock of the Jennie Cramcr horror, when it
s again narrowed by the loathsomc pariicu-
ars and conjecturcs connected with the case
of Mrs. Amber. 1t would seem us though
Connecticut had been stricken by plague OF
crime, terrible epidemic of brutality and
bloodthirstipess And what is still more re-
markable than the frequency OF murder in
that State, is the infrcqueucy of its punish
ment. The Connecticut murders appear to
be SO many "inscrutlble mysteries They
create tremendous sensation and waken a
storm of public indignation at the time, but
the criminal or criminals, some way or other,
generally manage to escape.
Some interesting facts in this connection
were recently presented to the Social Science
Congress, convened at Saratoga, BY Pro-
fessor Wayland of Yale College. The pro
fcssor gathered his information from the
murder record of New Haven county, during
the period from 1850 TO 1880. In this period
| it appears that there were twenty-thrce trials
| for murder in the first degree, but only to0
of the supposed perpetrators were
convicted and hanged. In one case the sen-
tence was committed to Imprisonment for
| life three were acquitted on the ground OF
insanity, and nine were convicted of muir
der in the second degree. BY way Of COM
parisOn the professor pointed out that during
the same period the number OF trials for the
crime of burglary in the same county was
80. "Bear in mind" said the professor,
''that trial for murder is not only not a
| hasty proceeding, commenced without much
preliminary investigation and pressed for
ward with very little ceremony, but that II
usually supposcs three previous heailnss-
| before coroncr's jury, a magistrate and Il
grand jury, all for the purpose Of ascertain
ing if there is Il probability of guilt-and,
further, that in the State of Connecticut the
crime of burglary Is never brought before a
grand jury, but is tried on information of
the prosecuting attorney for the county, anu
you will be prepared to appreciate the start
ling contrast presented by the fact that out
of the 800 trials for burglary 10 which | have
alluded, 213 resulted in conviction"
The inference to be drawn from this COM
parispn, it would seem, is that murder is not
regarded as a very serious crime in Connect.
cut. The fact is one which is borne out by
the criminal record of the cntnc State. No
New England State and probably no State
in the Union, is more lax and lcnient in tho
enforcement of its murder laws than Con-
necticut. The State has become sort OF
city of refuge for the shredder OF human
blool-a stamping ground Of unpublished
murderers," as an exchange APPLY puts it,
1t is not necessary to recur to the shameful

Hon. John A. Kasson has no doubt that
the Republicans will carry Iowa by at least
10000 majority. The position of the Re,
publicans on the prohibitory amendment has,
he gays, been misunderstood. The people OF
the State, laying aside all techncalties,
voted by large majority in favor of a pro.
hibitory amendment. To adopt the amend
ment again, which is made necessary by the
decision Of the Supreme Court, it must be
passed by two Legislatures and then voted
upon by the people. AS a majority have
once declared in favor of 1t, the Republicans
assert that the Legislatures are in duty bound
to pass the amendment and permit the PEG
pie to vote .on it again. The Democrats,
however, are not willing TO recognize the de.
cision at the polls, but declare in favor OF O
license law, which is not SO far in the direc
ton of free whiskey as Democrats elsewhere
go, but as far as the Iowa Democrats dare

GAMBLING AT RACES.

We are fast becoming nation of .amb-
cis. The craze for speculation is spreading
among all classes of the people. Not only
the rich, and those who are able to venture
large sums and sustain large losses, but the
great middle class, ard even the poor, arc
becoming the supporters Of this appalling ma.
lional evil. 1t Is an evil, doubtless, which
has grown naturui.y enough out OF our hasty
American life and our gteld Of money. First
came enterprise in trade, then speculation.
and lastly gambling Bat it is an evil which
will destroy the very condition of things
from which it spring, unless checked. Bust
ness enterprise is good thing for the coun-
try; speculation is profitable and leg,i-
mate profession for thousands who have the
brains to make it payit is keen brain work;
but gambling is the lowest form OF
money getting. 1t Is nothing more
than the bare greed for money, diyesled of
of the labor aud the brains necessary
to It's requirement. 1t is precisely that de-
graded form of . natural passion, TO (which
every human desire is capable of descending.
1t is to be classed along with lus. and egotism
and intemperance, the degraded fornis, re-
spectively, of love and self respect aud the
natural appelites. These destroy the condi-
tons which produce them; and so, indeed,
will the debasing passion of gambling, ltisthat
degraded state of the love of money. which
is "thc root Of all evil" 1t must, in time,
destroy the prosperous condition of society
from which it sprang. If we were poor
nation, we would not be nation OF gam
blers but, beng nation of gamblers, we
must sooner or later, unless condition
change, become poor nation.

Among our Associated Press dispatches OF

The Pennsylvania legislature began its
scss on last January and it has not yet adj
journed, and more than that it shows no
sign of adjourning. Pennsylvania was ono
of the states that was carried by the Demo-
Gratis last fall by the aid of Republican
votes, One of the features of the tidal wave
was the election of Democratic legislature.
The Democrats had been in a minority since
1875, when Mr.. Wallace was sent to the United
States senate to succeeded John Scott. In
1879 the Republican Legislature in the spirit
of economy assed the biennial Legislative
act. The measure was very popular. Last
year the Democrats came in. A biennial SEES.

ocratic session has already cost the taxpay-
ers 81 100000.

THE RAILROADS.
An Experts Testimony Regarding
Them,


New YoRK, Sept. 17.-Betore the Senate
committee to-day Mr.. Fink said he though
State railroad commissioners beneficial whe
il was only sought to reform abuses, but Id
did not believe in letting them tx rates c
control railroad property. He had no ob
lection TO their dong this If they made goo
the losses of railroads. Many men worked
for years without receiving compensation
establish a railroad, but as soon as the ioa
began to make money there was cry that
was monopoly, and an effort was made t
get possession of its property. The witness
did not think it evidence that road was
charging too high rates when it was paying
20 per cent dividends. If rates were reason
able it made no difference how much il made. |
1t only showed that the road by good mau-
agement or superior accommodations secured
larger portion of business There was very
little danger that railroads would make ex-
orbitant charges. In this country very few
railroads made ten per cent. The railroads
of this country coudnot be replaced by their
present capitalization. Many roads might
have watered their stock, but many
others with large capital stock
had gone into bankruptcy. 1t was not truoI
that some communities were taxed to sup
port the railroads at the expense of others |
This could be seen by examining the condi- F
ton Of each road and Of the community
which patronized it, Mr. Fink thought that
for some years it will he best to let the iail
roads manage their own business, until the
people came to understand that the interests
of the public and the railroads were IDENTICAL
The Reagan transportation bill he regarded
us utterly impracicable The freight rate
