THE NEED OF NATIONAL SABBATH.
Rev. George Elliott, the pastor Of Foundry
NJ. Z. church, this city, replied to DR.. Lewis.
He contended that the good to the community
demanded a day of religious observance and
rest, and that in selecting that day. merely
from a legislative standpoint, that which suited
the majority OF the community should be
an extremely small minority. However. he
was willing that If any exception in their favor
were possible he would be glad Of 1t. He said
that the Sunday observance WAS enforced by
the most ancient of common law. He spoke
of the want of national Sunday laws, and in this
connection referred to the want Of Sunday
laws in the District of Columbia. He said that
the President had called attention to the need

1t is an alarming TACT that crime is on the in.
crease. Those who have examined the subject in
the light of statistics say that according to the
census of 1850. there one criminal in 3,442 of
the population, while the census of 1880 shows
one Grimm al in S37 of the population. Some at.
tribute the increase TO foreign immigration, but
the figures show that the ratio of crime among
the foreign born in this country is diminishing.
while among the American born it is increasing.
1t is evident that there is something wrong some.
where and it should be the earnest endeavor of
every good citizen to encourage such education
and agitation as will be likely to lead TO reform
in this matter.-Grand Forks Plaindealer
Accepting the above as true. it is not a
difficult matter for those who are familiar
with the methods of crime as well as the
methods of dealing with it, to tell where
there are many something's wrong" The
readers of THE MIRROR have some oppor-
tunity of knowing wherein the wrong lies,
but even through this medium there is much
that cannot be brought to the public ear.
One great cause OF the increase of crime, is
the methods of prosecution and conviction.
Who does not read. III utter disgust, the
trials of men who have been guilty of the
most serious crimes, but through the agency
of money and influence are allowed to 90
free, while some poor man against whom
there is a charge of less serious nature is
given all extreme penalty in order that the
public may be appeased. 1t is notorious
fact, openly talked among the officers of
our cities and we'll known to all who are
within the grip of the law, that out of GER
tain number of offenders one must suffer and
pay the penalty for the many. TO be more
explicit within period of, say one year,
six men are tried for murder in large city;
the first FIVE are allowed to 90 free or get off
with light penalties. The press raises
howl, the people become alarmed, some
thing must be dOne-the sixth man must be
the victim unless he is in position. finan-
cially and socially, to defy the law. This is
only one cause, but rest assured there are
many just as glazing.

Somehow the c., B. & @. Railroad does
not seem ta prosper since the great strike
OF the engineers and fremen on that road.
The company represents $50, 900 OF
stock. which was quoted February ~ at
$1.3o, and June 10, in New York at $1.10,
and in Boston at $1.O9A. A recent num-
Der OF the aWail Street News" had this to
say of the road:
aThe earnings of the G., B. & @. for April
are about as bad as possible, being $l54,-
$50 against 500, ISL last year, a decline
OF $755, 451. This is not a third OF the
amount required to pay the fixed charges

that by this time the company is fully So
