AN EPIDEMIC OF CRIME.

A Chicago Judge in instructing the
grand Jury stated that the reports OF
the press showed that there was an cpl
demic OF crime sweeping over the city,
and suggested that IL such we're the
case there should be an epidemic Of
justice, too. For some time past justice
in Chicago has been very lenient, and
marked increase in lawlessness is the
natural result.
IL may be remarked, however, that
this experience is not peculiar to Chica-
go. In most Of the larger cities OF the
east crimes OF every degree have been
very numerous within the past two
months, and the explanation OF this is
not everywhere to be found in the
failure OF Justice: Criminal statistics
show that as rule crimes increase at
this season of the year, though why
such should be the case the statisticians
do not attempt to show. The fact,
however, certainly is that crime
has been very active in u
large portion of the country for
u month or two past, and APP
pears to be on the increase.
Fortunately Omaha has been one OF
the localities exempted from anything
like an epidemic of crime, or indeed
any unusual development of criminality.
The record of the past two months per-
haps maintains the average of petty Of
fenses against the law, but there have
been no very serious crimes, and we
venture to say that no city of
equal population in the coun-
try, and which is constantly
visited by so many strangers,
can show more favorable criminal
record than Omaha. Other cities may
find here an example of good order,
careful government, and faithful ad-
ministration of justice worthy of their
emulation.

COLORADO had bureau OF immigra-
tion and statistics which is doing good
work in advertising the resources Of
that state. 1t has collected and is now
displaying at the Chicago exposition
wonderful exhibit of the resources OF the
Centennial state. There are grains and
grasses displayed which would do credit
TO any agricultural state. There are
minerals on display illustrating Colo
radios remarkable wealth OF silver,
lead, coal, iron, petroleum, asphaltum,
granite, marble and the like taken
from her vast natural store house. 1t
Is quite apparent that Colorado under
stands how to show OFF her resources to
the best advantage and to attract st
tention.

A RECENT estimate places the wheat
crop at 300, 900, 900 bushels, or so, ,0OO, 900
more than the August estimate of the
department of agriculture figured it. If
this estimate be correct, and there is
no reason to believe 1t otherwise, it puts
the crop for this year within 3,OOO,0 900
bushels of that of 1884, which was the
largest the country ever produced. 1t
is probable, too, that when the harvest
has been completed in all sections the
difference now existing IN the estimates
will be overcome, and 1889 may become
the best year in the record of the United
States.

The BEE is in receipt of a circular
from the Corn Palace association, of
Sioux City, in which are enumerated
some of the features to be carried out
for the benefit of visitors during the
continuance of the exposition. There
is no doubt but that many excellent and
original ideas have been elaborated
upon in the preparation of the Corn
palace exhibits, and in the design of
the building itself considerable money
has been expended to make it both at
tractive and pleasing to the eye. Such
enterprise is commendable, and since
the organization Of the affair THE BEE
has taken the utmost pains to gra-
tuitously advertise it throughout
the west. Our disposition towards
Sioux City does not at least appear to
be reciprocated by the papers of that
city. OF course but little notice should
be taken OF the papers, on account of
their obscurlty and limited circulation.
The opinions and utterapces of a
newspaper, however, are generally IN
derstood to be at least partial reflex of
the opinion of the place in which it is
printed. The Sioux City papers, dur
ing Omaha's Merchant week, with no
exception, took especial pains to run
down our exhibition, and it was evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose of keeping Wis
itors from northern Nebraska away
from Omaha. If the people of Sioux
City expect favors from the Omaha
press it would be a wise idea for them
to muzzle the small-bore editors who
manage their daily papers.

LONDON, March S.-The news of King
Milan's abdication from the Sarvian
throne does not cau.S much comment in
London. This act of the dissolute King
has been long foreshadowed, and the
chief interest the abdication excites is
found in the speculation as to what re
cent event or chain of events caused
Milan to relinquish the throne at this
particular time. The Pail Mall Gazette
congratulates Russia upon the abdica-
tion, and boldly asserts that Milau's
principal object in thus abandoning his
rights was that he might with more frea-
dom indulge his unholy passion for Nine.
