ATHENS, o., Dec. 30.-Thn jury in
the Foster murder case, which has con-
sumed the past two weeks, and which

KINGFIsHER, o. H., Dec. 30.-On
Christmas evening while George Sher-
wood, William Bond and James Wilson
were celebrating the day with whisky
and guns on the Cheyenne reservation,
southwest of here. they ran across a
band of Indians. Sherwood drew his
revolver and began shooting in the air,
but one bullet went low and struck q
squaw in the breast, and, it is thought,
mortally wounded her.
The Indians at once gave chase and
caught the cowboys They took Sher-
wood and tied him to tree and shot
hlm to death. They then set the others
free and told them to leave the country
and never come back or they would be
treated the same way. Sherwood's body
was left where it was.

INCREASE IN ExpENDIrUREs.

There is more or less systematic attack
all along the line upon the dollar limit.
The demand for an increase in revenues is
ostensbly based upon the growth of the
city. The school accommodations, which
were sufficient ten years ago, are made
Quate now. The Fire Department and the
Police Department have likewise Jagged be-
hind the material growth of the city. Ii
the opponents Of the dollar limit rested their
case on the statement that the city needs
more money now than it did ten years ago
there would be no contention in the matter.
But why an increase in the per cent of taxa
ton? Cannot 100000 people be govern ed
as cheaply pro rata as 100000? Ought not
l per cent of the property OF 100000 people
provide as much revenue in proportion to
the population as per cent on the property
of 100000 people? The dollar limit, as our
readers know, does not bind the revenues
down to a fixed sum. AS the taxable prop
erty increases the revenues increase. 1t
will be admitted, we think, that under the
dollar limit the things the city has to care
for have been improving. The streets and
sewers are certainly in better condition
now than they were five years ago. I'M
pTovements in the park have been made
about as fast as they could be made With
reasonable regard for economy. The money
appropriated to the schools is greater than
it was five years ago, with very little in
crease in the number OF pupils. HE Two or
three newspapers that live on the city print
ing are fairly prosperous. They would do
better if the tax limit was removed, but
majority of the taxpayers do not propose to
ada to their burdens 20 increase the profits Of
Buckley's organs. Why is it that with rev.
enues increasing in proportion to the in

NO PANIC IN SIGHT.

Alexander del Mar has gained some dis
tIDction as an advocate of bimetallism, and
because of this distinction people would
like to know on what signs or symptoms he
bases the~pre diction that the United States
is on the ragged edge of financial panic.
Within about year silver has been made
to travel about one-half the distance from
its 10 west point to equality with gold in the
present ratio. This result has been OBJ
tanned without disturbance Of values. AS
the assurance becomes positive that the
money of the two metals will serve as the
measure for all comm ODDITIES, there will be
general increase in the value of COM
modities. But panics do not result from a
rise in the prices of commodities when the
kind of money their market value is de-
termined by Is not redeemable in any other
kind of money. There may be an increase
in the volume of money in consequence
of the use of both gold and silver,
but as neither kind is redeemable in the
other there can be no initiation of the cur
rency in the ordinary aceeptation OF the
term. What then is there to bring on a
panic? There is no apparent danger of an
excess of imports over exports to drain the
country of money. There is no prospect of
a decrease in the amount of gold and silver
taken cut of the earth and converted INTO
coin. There is no occasion for an issue
of paper money on credit. Treasury notes
issued against gold and silver deposited in
the vaults of the Treasury will supply what
ever demand there may be for currency.
While no one can look with absolute clear
ness INTO the future. there has never been a
time when the financial outlook for the
United States seemed so secure as at pres
ent. If Mr.. del Mar had confined his pre-
diction TO Europe there would have been
less di sposition to question the accuracy of

Twenty years ago, at the close of the

and woman. The man was Prince Bis

of Germany, the daughter of Queen Vie
toria and the mother of the present En-

her sons mind against her. But she bided

gressive and caused the Chancellor's over

CITY CRIME.

There is so surprising a uniformity be-
tween the penal statistics for lSS9-90 and
those for 1sSS-89 that one police report
seems almost a copy of the other. In
1So9-90 the total number of arrests was
%, 459; in 1SSS-S9 it was 90, 1852. In 1SS9-9O
the convictions were Il, $40; in 1SSS-99 they
were L, AGO. Ii 1SS9-90 the cases dismissed
numbered 9951; in 1SSS-S9 they numbered
1908 We are thus to infer that the GRIM
inality of the city is precisely what it was
last year; that the vigilance of the police
was exactly the same, and that the number
Of innocent persons who were laid by the
heels by overzealous policemen was only 80
less than per cent-larger in 1SSS-S9 than
in 1SS9-90. Such remarkable uniformity is
seldom witnessed in penal records.
If we so back five years we find some
variation. In the fiscal year 1SS4-85, when
the population Of the city was probably
10000 less than it is. the number of arrests
was slightly larger than it is; it was "a, 49,,
against $3.50 last year and q, 462 in 1SSS-S9.
The convictions were very much larger
1913, as against Il, 400 last year and Il, $40
the year before; and the acquittals less
1886, as against 1851 last year and ,033 the
year before. We are to infer that five years
ago the law-breaking class was consider
ably larger than it is, and n. police were
more apt to make their charges stick than
The morning call., 1890-07-27

they are. But it may be wise to go slowly
in basing theories on statistics which pre-
sent many grounds for suspicion.
1t has frequently been observed that the
number of inhabitants to each policeman
is larger in this city than in the other large
cities of the Union, and the fact is used
periodically in support of demand for an
increase Of the police force. But it has
never been shown that the criminal class is
as large here In proportion to the total
population as it is elsewhere. On the con-
trary the experience of policemen and the
records of crimes and misdemeanors lead
TO the belief that the criminal class here is
unusually small being mainly recruited
from transients, and that the great body of
the residents of the city need no police
supervision. Fully fifty per cent of the
arrests are for drunkenness and the mis-
demeanors to which drunkenness leads.
The parties arrested are revolvers who no
sooner get out of Jail than they are re-
arrested for a repetition of the same
offenses. This view of the city's criminal
ity appears to be cOntradicted by the fact
that the average number of arrests made
by each officer is larger here than in
other large American cities. But this may
also be explained on the theory that it
seems to be point of honor with each San
Francisco policeman to make as many
arrests as he can.

FARM MORTGAGES.

The exaggerated estimates made of the
number Of mortgages on farms in certain
States have induced efforts to ascertain as
exactly as may be the real facts of the case.
Such progress has been made in the work
in Maine that the Boston Herald arrives at
the conclusion that the amount has been
greatly overes timated. The object in send
ing out these exaggerated reports is in the
main political. Free-traders have under
taken to prove that the farmers in the
United States were being sacrificed to the
interests of manufacturers. County rec
ords furnished basis upon which to
erect a superstructure of delusiye estimates.
All the mortgages that have been recorded
in the past ten years could be pressed into
service without reference to those that
have been Cancelled or partly paid. In
most cases when mortgages are given on
farms payments are made from year to year,
but no notice of payment is made on the
record until The mortgage is Cancelled, and
often not even then. What is true Of
Maine is doubtless true of other of the New
England States and more especially of the
Western States, where farming, as rule,
is more profitable. But there is some ex-
cuse for these exaggeratlons, as the opDo-
nents of the protective policy find very
little support for their theories in correct
tables Of trade.

NO NATIVE SAILORS.

The adulteration of the American people
by the simultaneous increase in foreign I'M
migration and the improved opportunities
of bread-winning offered to graduates Of
American free schools was curiouslv illus
trated by recent incident at Mare Island.
Orders were recently received from the
Navy Department forbiddng the recruit
ing officer from shipping on men-of-war
sailors who were not natives, or at least
foreigners who had declared their intention
to become naturalized. The consequence
was that very few men are being shipped,
and the Mare Island authorities are puzzled
to know where they can get crews for the
Marion and the Adams.
The explanation is. of course, that young
Americans can do better than ship before
the mast. They can earn more money and
lead pleasanter lives ashore. II they wish
to go to sea, they so as officers, not ord-
nary or able seamen. 1t is not easy to de-
wise a cure for the evil. The nation cannot
well afford to pay fancy wages for sailors;
and yet, unless it does, it must continue to
man its ships with jack-tars of foreign
hirtb
