THE INCREASE of crime during the
year just closed was so marked as to be
somewhat startling, but there is very
little improvement in the matter of pun
ishment of criminals. The criminal sta
tistics for the year very nearly COM
plete, show that the murders in the
United States in 1884 numbered 1877,
against 1,494 in 1888. The. suicides
numbered 1884 against 91O the previous
year. The legal executions increased
only 6, being Ill in 1884 against 105 in
1888. This may possibly be explained,
however, by the statement that last
year there were 219 culprits who met
death at the hands of mobs, while only
81 were executed by Judge Lynch in
1888; thus lynch law is usurping the
place of the statutes which are so un-
certain and unreliable. OF the victims
of mob violence 157 were white, 81 COL
ored and one Japanese; only TWO
females were among the number, a
couple of women having been strung up
on telegraph poles in Colorado last
year.

SUCCESSFUL METROPOLITAN
JOURNALS:

After g New York newspaper reaches
q point in its career when it can be said
to be self-supporting, it makes money
very fast. The fact was illustrated by
the Telegram, James Gordon BENEFITS
evening paper, which is said to have
cost the proprietor something over a
million dollars before it reached the
paying point but now it returns a clear
profit above the interest on the invest
ment of more than 100000 a year.
The success of the World, however,
under its present management, is more
remarkable than that of any other jour
nal in that home of great newspapers.
Last week oseph Pulitzer drew his check
for $252, o39.77 which vas the balance
due on the purchase price of the
paper which Mr.. Pulitzer bought less
than two years ago. The original price
was $4,000, for the plant, fixtures,
good will, etc., and while the paper was
regarded as the national organ of the
Democracy. and was really one of the
Sblest and best journals in the world was
monthly running behind in its finances
The RorId never was financial success,

Ex-GovKRNoR STANFORD of California
has declined the United States Senator
ship, which was rendered" him by the
Legislature. He doesn't want the office,
preferring free and easy life with his
horses, dogs and interest coupons.
Putting it in palmer terms, Governor
Stanford doesn't want the Senatorship
for the reason that he prefers a position
in the background while somebody else
does the work that he wants done.
The position belongs to him; it is in the
hands of his men, and they will confer
it upon anybody he may designate for
the 'honor."

THE SENATE.

1t is not likely that the United States
Senate will ever be abolished. The peo-
pie are proverbially afraid of change
they are slow to abolish things, or to
interfere with institutions once es-
tablished, however useless they may
have become. This is illustrated by the
tenacity with which they cling to the
grand and petty jury systems, both of
which are humbugs, and serve to re-
tard rather than advance justice. There
was much objection to the creation of a
Senate, good portion of the discussion
OF the proposed Constitution being de-
voted to that clause. The objections
raised then still exist, and Will
continue. Though as remarked
it is not likely that the upper house of
the national legislature Will be abo-
lished, such thing is not among the
improbabilities. 1t is an expensive,
aristocratlc, and almost useless branch
of Congress, and what is worse, it is
growing more presumptiTe, dictational
and oTerbearing, insulting, and defying
the House, and frequently compelling the
latter to submit to its whims and idio-
syncracies, the submission being given
in order to prevent disaster coming to
the government. Through the Senate's
encroachments and the Houses WELD
ing, the latter-which Should be the
law-making branch of government in
fact, being made up of men chosen by
the people-has been reduced to the DO
sition of a plaything for the upper
house, while the Senate's powers are
much greater than were contemplated
at the start, and so much greater that
had the trainers of the Constitution
been aware of the enlargement of
1t is doubtful if the Senate
would ever have been created.
The Senate is one institution of gov
that is not republican in is
conception, formation or operation; it
is an institution that the country can
get along without, but like other hum
bugs it will probably have to be endured,
though all but the Senators themselves
wish it were abolished.

vast sums being sunk in it by its
owners and friends. Pulitzer put new
life into the paper which at once began
making money SO rapidly that he has
been able to pay for the property almost
from the profits. The cash dividend
for the year just closed was $154 600. OF
the many good papers in the
metropolis, very few have ever
paid expenses, and the number
that can be classed as good in
vestments is perhaps not to exceed
seven or eight, the best being classed
about as follows: Herald, Sun, World
Times, Commercial Advertiser, Stats
Zetung and Post. Chicago has but four
profitable newspaper properties, Phila-
delphia only five or six that are big
money-making institutions, Boston an
equal number, St. Louis but three or
perhaps four, and yet the journals in
these cities number some hundreds.

Well Meant Restriction on Land
Owning.

The House committee on public lands
is of the opinion hat the investment Of
foreign capital in American lands is OK
cesSiVc and needs restriction. Il !.
said that about 2l.000, 900 acres Of
land in tie United States are now owned
by aliens, and the prospective foreclos-
IRE Of mortgages on land grant rail-
roads held by aliens will, it is slid, give
them control Of 100, 600 900 acres more
Doubtless it is desirable to prevent the
acquisition of excessive areas of land by
anybody, native or foreign, but that the
holdings Of foreigners especially will. as
thc committee asserts. ever 10 this coun-
try lead to a system Of ln,dlordiSm in
