Growth of Criminal Classes.


Probably one of the greatest dancers
to organized society is found in the
criminal classes. The laws of the pro-
iuction and confirmation of criminals,
with their treatment, should be among
the most thoughtfully studied branches
Of political science. The number of
convicts in penitentiarics In 1880 was
S5,53S, while in 1890 il was IS, 233, an in
crease in ten years of 9,G05. or 27.2S per
cent, and during this interval the total
population increased only at the rate of
a4.SG per cent. Again, the total number
of prisoners in the county jails In 1850
was 1901; in 1890, l9,53S, an increase in
ten years of G,Si1, or ut the rate Of 53.95
per cen Coming to the inmates Of ju-
vcnilc rcformatories, we find the num-
Der reported in lsS0 was il,i6s; in 1890,
1856, al increase Of 3,3Is. or %. &c per
cent. II is thus shown by recent sta
~tistirs that the various grades of crimi-
nal population are increasing more rap
idly than the population at large. The
same results have been shown by pre-
vious CENSUS reports. 1t must also be
remembered that n large number OF ac-
tual criminals are not under coniinc-
mcnt, and are hence not included in the
figures showing their increase. 1t has
evidently become q vitality important
question for decision by society IS TO
the best plan to pursue toward the
criminal. The Popular Science Monthly
holds it TO be 4 fact proved by statistics
that n large percentage Of criminals are
defective either physically or mentally,
and have had an u~nfavorahic hcrct.ity
and environment Under the general
system in ills country TO attempt is
made to rchabiiitatc them during con-
GncIncnt. Criminals arc FIRST made to 4
certain extent by unfortunate hcredity
and unfGvorablc social conditions. ana
then confirmed BY imprisonment. Weak
character and environment bring out
the unfittcst elements, and society by
its treatment h2stcn5 to provide for
their sar.ivcL.

a boat that would go under water,
be fully in control of the operator
and be capable of making trips at a
fair speed of several hours in dura-
ton, with perfect safety to the men
on aboard, would revolutionize
naval architecture. The submarine
boats have done this much except
perhaps in the matter of speed, but
they do not do it every. time. They
are not certain to work when wanted.

The latest impeachment Of Column
bus is that he was a sea rover and
buccanccr; he cut off the hands and
1ect of his captiyes: he was a slave
trader, and his thirst for gold was un-
appcasible. In other words he was
the seaman of the Fifteenth and moi
OF the Nineteenth century. The cx-
plorers of a century later would fit
this description almost equally. Drake,
Frobisher and Hawkins were bucca-
neers, secured the Spanish Main for
silver and gold, made slaves of their
captives, and practiced numerous
things which the Nineteenth century
has cast aside as belonging to the
cruelty and wrongs of feudalism.
There is much too little chivalry
amOng lawyers for the good of their
profession. Worse still, what there
is is discouraged and discrcdited as
much as possible. A lawyer who re-
CARDS his legal training as imposing
upon him duties to prevent or expose
wrongs is too commonly considered
visionary and qaixotic. Possibly this
may sometimes be the fact. Even
then 1t is better thar q policy of sell
fish indifference that may prove more
profitable and more promotive of
personal ease. II needs q brave heart
and all die encouragement that friends
can gise to sustain q lawyer who has
undertaken this difficult task. and

REV. F. w. LoY's FAREWELL

Close of a Faithful Pastorate of the
First M. Z. Church
Rev. f. w. 10y closed his labors as
pastor of the First NJ. +. church last
Sunday, latter two years Of faithful SER
vice. He came to this church in Sep
tember, 1890, soon after its organiza-
ton, and his pastorate has covered the
most trying period of its existence.
As a pastor Mr.. 10y has few equals,
possessing in an unusual degree the
tact for organizing and keeping active
and at work the membership of IA
church. He has kept up the finances
and credit OF the church notwithstand-
ing the general depression that has
characterized great part of the period
of his ministry. Over 100 members
have been received during the two
years past. He has built up the Sun
day school and EpwOrth League and
made them active and efficient aids in
the church work. His decision not to
accept the pastorate for another year
was a disappointment to his people
here, but he does not feel able TO con-
tinue in the work without change for
a time. He has, during his residence
here, been actiye in all enterprises in
the interests of public good and NOR
ality. AT the last quarterly conference
of the church the following resolution
was adopted:
WHEREAS, Rev. +. w. 10y, who
has served us as pastor for the past two
years, is about to sever such relation at
his own volition, therefore,
Resolved, That we desire to express
to him our gratitude as official menu
bers of the church for the uniform
courtesies and Christian spirit with
which he met us in the management
of church affairs, for the able assist
ance i'm both counsel and work which
he has rendered, ably and safely guild
ing through troublous periods, lending
strong and effective aid when many
wavered, always standing firm by the
church and her interests, forgetting
and sacrificing his individual interests
to further those of the church and
Master, at all times evincing the true
Christian graces TO the fullest extent,
and by all his noble words, acts and
deeds has endeared himself TO us to the
extent that we feel IL hard to part with
him.
That the Gospel he has preached has
been pure and undefiled, instant in
season and out Of season, earnest and
effective.
That we pray Gods richest blessings
to follow him i'm his future work and
trust the time may come again when
we may sustain the relation Of pastor
and people. J. s. MUNDY,

LONDON, Aug. ia large steamer,
the Thrachian, which was being towed
to Liverpool, has been lost off the Isle
of Wight. The crew of seventeen men
were drowned. The Thrachian was in
ballast and during the gale last night
pitched and rolled so heavily that the

compelled to heave to. The gale in
creased in violence and it is supposed
the Thrachian capsized. AT daybreak
no trace of her could be seen.

went forward TO the stockade deter

over to the guards and send them to
the country on the train. This is the
