The Baltimore Morning Herald,
discussing the above subject says:
1.-The increase OF crime 10 a favor
tie topic with the pessimIst. lie
po.nts to the Criminal Court, TO the
oyercrowded prison and the throng
that is confined in the III use of
Refuge as unfailing proof Of his
gloomy belief. With ghoulsh gleel
he declares that society is going to
pieces, and that the world is growing
worse. In van you protest that
virtue and vice are more active that
formerly, but have not changed
their relative positions. lie will
have none OF it. Life may be grow
ing more intense, bat it is certainly
getting more wicked IN his hnal
delivorance whenever moral qucs
tons are discussed.
And it must be confessed that
facts do exist that seem to bear out
this conclusion. Some of the papers
read before tho Conference of Char
tiles and Correction point in that
direction. So that if it is not en-
tiro!y proper to speak of the world
as growing worse, the ground must
be taken that it is becoming very
bad.
"For instance. in 1860 one in
every 3,442 of the population was q
criminal. In 1870 the ratio WAS
as one to ,647, while in 1890 the
proportion became one to every $50,
aud tits supposed that the next census
will show that one person out OF
every 500 is doing service in some
penal institution for crime.
"These figures standing alone are
sufficient to create stampede
among those who have confidence
in the supremacy of moral ideas.
IL they are to be taken literally,
thon civilization is a failures.
Churches, schools, moral instruc-
ton and all instrumentalities used
to advance the condition Of mankind
are alike powerless to stay the
approach of criminal barbarism.
"But statistics, such as these,
literally prove nothing. A speaker
rises in such meeting as this and
leaves his audience to indfer that
society is rapidly lapsing into crime.
In another asscmblage another
speaker uses this same sort of arith-
metic to prove that the world is
rapidly becoming Baptists, Catho-
lies, Methodists or Presbyterians.
Now the apparent fact that some
four or five religious bodies are
multiplying their membership by
two every few years, and the other
fact, equally apparent. that crime Is
increasing in similar ratio, cannot
both be true at the same time. So
that sweeping deductions drawn
from skillfully manipulated figures
are utterly worthless to establish
truth where numerous influences
are at work, aud several causes unite
in producing a given result.
Nobody seriously believes that
the world is, for fact, growing
worse, or that the moral forces of
society have lost their grip upon
the conduct Of mankind. Il is an
insult to claim it. =

PRACTICAL, SIM PIE and CHEAT.
Acknowledged the Bss, in the World

1t Has Been Long Admitted Fact
In the minds of discerning people, as
well as the scientific world, that some
principle certainly must be brought to
light, or some principle already known
must be applied to lessen the labors and
trials of wash-day. With that end in
view, and with the great and constantly
increasing demand for simple. easy and
practical process to take the place OF the
the misunderstanding, back breaking
and knuckle- skinning rub-board, 1t Is not
strange that many thousand devices have
been brought before the people. But 1t
is certainly wonderful, considering the
achievements of scientific and ingenious
men in the invention of devices to assist
and advance almost every branch OF
manufacturing, agricultural and business
interests, the cook stove, sewing ma
chine, wringer, &C., to lessen household
work, that some article has not been
produced that would cleanse soiled cloth

housewives. Nothing previous to the

THAT FOLSOM MYSTERY.
The Local Newspaper Tells Of Charles
Humph,s Death.

The Local Newspaper Tells Of Charles
Humph's Death.
The neighbors of Charles Humph, says
the Folsom Telegraph, who has resided in
a cabin at Rebel HILL noticed his absence
from his usual haunts last week, but sup
posed he had come to Folsom. As nothing
had been heard of him for couple of days
it was decided to investigate, and Thomas
Quirk went to his dwelling-place in the
evening, and after vainly trying to make
himself heard gained an entrance by burst
ing in the door. He was shocked to find
Humph lying on the floor dead. An inves-
tigation developed the fact that he had
been dead for three or four days. His re-
mains were brought TO town and an in
quest held. The jury rendered verdict
in accordance with the facts as above
stated. The deceased was an old resident
of these parts, and was a miner by occupa-
ton. He was between 60 and 65 years of
age, and leaves no relations and no prop
erty.
The Folsom Justice of the Peace sent
what purported TO be report of the matter
to Coroner Claok, but it evidently was
written in Chinese or some other foreign
language, as no information could be gained
from it

Valley.
GRASS VALLEY, February 22d.-It is clear
andI snowy intermittiDgly tonight. Be-
tween eight and twelve O'Clock this morn
ing one foot of snow fell, coming down so
thickly at times as to limit the range of
vision to few feet. 1t is now from three
10 four feet on the level, having packed
rapidly. 1t is estimated that over six feet
has fallen during the week. Since January
18th 5000 hes been paid out for snow
shovelipg here.
1t is cloudy this evening. The moon
and stars are visible only at intervals
Business is paraly zed, as the principal
mines are still idle. The narrow-gsuge
railroad remains blockaded. ali day Wed
nesday was consumed in coming to Grass
Valley from Nevada City. After hard
work Thursday end Friday train reached
CeIfax at five O'Clock i'll the evening OF the
latter day, starring back an hour later, aud
consuming eight hours in making as many
miles Six hours later only quarter OF q
mile was gained, the snow having packed
solid and ice formed on the rails. At IL
o'clock this morning the train was aban-
doned at Buena Vista station.
II the weather clears the fight will at
once be renewed. Papers have been re-
ceived but oIce since Tuesday. No letter
mail. 1t is expected some will be brought
in tonight from the stalled trains.
Two funerals took place this afternoon,
presenting an unprecedented sight Of a
coffin conveyed in sled and mourners
following in like conveyances.
The electric street lights have heen shut

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Tribute to His Memory by Chief Justice
Fuller.

(
CHICAGO, February 22d.-At the ami
versary celebration of the Union League
Club this evening, in honor of Washing
toms Birthday, an interesting programme
was presented. Several speeches were
made, the principal one by Chic: Justice
Fuller, on 'iOur Federal Judiciary" The
sentiment. he said, is obviously appropri-
ate to celebrate Washington's Birthday, for
it was Washington who urged upon the
Continental Congress, while the smoke OF
Bunker Hill still fingered in the air, the
creation of Federal tribunal with juris-
diction co-extensive with what were then
the United Colonies, and the Provinces of
Great Britain in North America, and later,
when the Constitution was put into opera
ton, Washington, with characteristic sa-
gacity, foreseeing the great part which the
Judicial Department weuld play in the de-
yelopment of our institutions, called it, in
his letter rendering the Chief Justiceship
to jay, 1.-THE keystone of the political
Fabric
The Chief Justice spoke of the judgments
and powers OF the Federal Judicial Depart
ment. and said nothing has done more to
commend that department to the conf
dence and respect of the people than its
scrupulous abstinence from decisions OF
strictly political questions. and lis rigid
adherence to the exercise of none but ju-
dicial powers, and it is the acquiesence of
the Union and States people and their
authorities in the conclusions of the judi
cial department that demonstrates the sue
cess of popular Government, since it i'm
plies the capacity to observe the self-im-
posed restraints. ut seems to me as years
roll on the judiciary gains more and
more in the affection and trust of the peO-
pie. The judiciary. National and State, for
Federal and State Courts, are parts of one
whole, and their lights shine from the
same armament alike and they seek that
understanding of the heart which will en-
able them TO discern between that which is
good and that which is bad, and so to sit
wisely in judgment amid this, SO great
people-the people of George Washing
nv, -
