LESS CRIME IN ENGLAND.

i Sir Edmund F. DuCane has dene a good thing for England's reputation in showing that orime is decreasing in that country. In his investigation he confined himself to offences which are recognized as crimes in all civilized countries. Such crimes may be distributed in five classes: First, offences against the person; secondly, offences against property with violence; thirdly, offences against property without violence, including, for instance, theft and embez- clement; fourthly, malicious offences against property, such as destroying fences, trees, etc.; ffthly. forgery and offences against the currency. Now for the statistics demonstrating a decrease of these crimes in England. The number of indictable offences against the person dropped from 3,626 in 1885 s6 to 3.352 in 1890 91. The number of similar offences which were dealt with sumnarily by magistrates fell from 100, ,422 in 1875 76 to 77,957 in 1890 9l. Of indictsble of- fences against property with violence there were 7,112 in 1ss1-s2, while in 1890 91 there were only 5,93S such cases. The number of summary offences in this class is too small to deserve consideration, hay ing never exceeded 87, and having sunl as low as 1. As to indiotable offences against property without violence, thes' have fallen off continually since 1s77-7s Then the number was 1,s41; in 1890 Q 1t was 25,O96. The number of crime of this class summsrily dealt wit by magistrates has declined from 72, AS in 1881 S2 to 8s. .990 in 1890 91. Indiots
 ble malicious offences against preperi
 have neither increased nor diminished
 any marked way, the number having keI
 little on one side or the other of 6C
 offences of this class. however, have dro]
 ped from 25, 800 in 1873 to 1S.o75
 1890s1. We come finally to forgery an
 offences against the currency. Tho indie
 ments for crimes of this kind have falle
 from 2,ss9 in 1s5s-57 to 446 in 1s90-o1.
 According to this, indictable offenc
 belonging to the five classes mentions
 have, as whole, notwithstanding the i
 crease of population in England, dinai
 ished from 67, 812 in 1867 68 to 35, ,335
 1890 S1, while between 1S7sH and 1890- the number of summary offences In tl r same five classes has declined from 192, 4 d to 159, ,534. This showing Is both surpri }. ing and encouraging.

THE k3AGGAGE.SM

l THE BAGGAGE-SMA HER. Those who have seen the ba ge-smash I CT of an American railroad at work have
 seen fine sight. How he rejoicss In hii l strengths How wild and free and pictures que are his movsmentsl He takes noun. tainous and resisting trunk and makes 6 plaything of it. And if in the process he
 makes kindling wood of 1t and seatters 1t, contents all abroad who shall say him nay, Is it not for this that he ii hireds h it not his mission to impress travellers, and especially travellers from foreign eoun- tries, with the freedom, the power and the wild exuberance of 6 young ns- tions Does he not, in his at tack upon a pile of trunks and his rapid and thorough conquest of them, show the same spirit that has animated this people in its onward marcha No trunk Is too big for him, no trunk is too strong for him, and no pile of trunks can dismay him. Like the countryman's cat, trunk may hang and scratch, but it has got to come. And come 1t does, either in whole or In parts.
 There are people who do not appreciate the strength, the illimitableness and the typical quality of tho baggage-smasher's work. They are 50 lacking in patriotism that they object to seeing the grand and resistless force which has made this nation what it is exercising its slf on their trunks and showing all who leok on how obstacles can be conquered and ends attained. They do not care to have their trunks used in this way, even to impress foreigners who may happen to be travelling and trying to learn something about this great eoun- try. And some of them have travelled enough in other countries and imbibed enough of the spirit thereof to have actual admiration of foreign baggage handlers, who, as subjects of kings and queens, deal with the trunks of travellers in . way that would excite the scorn and contempt of the stalwart and untrammelled baggage snashers of this land of the free. These spers of foreign customs have occasionally gone so far as to suggest that the American baggage-smasher be deprived by law of some of his impressive freedom and bound less privileges. We believe they have not yet succeeded in thus hampering him in any State, but they have at last in duced the railroad commissioners of North Carolina to issue the following order: All common carriers subject to the supervis- ion of the railway commission shall pro- vide such means or appliances as may be necessary to secure the careful handling of and to prevent injury to any parcel of baggage to which check may bs affixed. And at all minor stations where no proper appliances are supplied, and nc regular de- pot hand is employed, it shall be required of the train hands to assist the baggage master and lift with care all baggage from the car doors.
 This Is an astonishing order. Has it come to this, that in any State of the Union the American baggsgs-smasher is not looked upon as one of 'tour institu- tionsl" Are trunks in North Carolina more and greater than the genius of the oountrys Will an order be issued in thst State forbidding the American eagle to aoYaarn2

 Mrs. Jenness Miller thinks she knows something about women.

Don't you know that the average woman in society cares more for her appearance than for her souls salvations Why, have known hundreds of women who would rather commit suicide than become passee. I know this. for have made women . study"
 The general notion is that the red man is too noble to do much work, but there are some interesting items bearing on this nation in the government pay roll which shows the sums disbursed for a year to Indians t'for value received" in the shape of labor. The sum of $2SO, ,00O appears as the amount paid them for hay and other agricultural supplies furnished for the army and the agencies; $105,0O0 was paid them for transporting supplies; $1as, 1000 for labor performed at the various agencies; $11e, 900 for work performed as reservation police, and 50 on through an extended list. The constant increase of application to in- dustrial and agricultural pursuits is shown by the fact that the government payments last year for Indian labor were 50 per cent. larger then for the preceding year.
 Cooperative farming is apparently quite successful in Italy. Some six years ago an association was started by thirty peasants in the province of Cremona for the pur- pose of cultivsting farm of about 300 acres, and has resped excellent financial results. Their example has been widely copied, and to-day the larger number of farms in the province of Milan are held by peasant associations of this kind, one farm alone, Of 100 acres, being held by thirtytwo peasant families, who were able to pay their last years rent out of the produce of silk cocoons alone, their agricultural produce being all go much profit. This method of association has the advantage that 1t ad- mits of the acquisition of perfected agri- cultural implements, seed, manures, etc., which would be beyond the means of any single peasant family, and the entire sys- tenn of Italian agriculture is thus benefited thereby and the national industry rendered more productive.

THE senate committee TO inves-
tigate the claims Of the territories
to admission to the union will
probably visit Silver City after
having visited most of the other
towns in the Territory. The COM
mittee will visit Oklahoma first
aud then make a tour Of New
Mexico. A trip over these terri
tories will necessarily consume
considerable time and it is more
than probable that the senators
will be here about the time Of the
silver convention. Several of the
members Of the committee are sill
yer men and it would be a very
fortunate thing il it could be ar
ranged so that they could be'here
in attendance at the convention.
These senators, at least, could
get an idea of the earnestness of
the silver advocates in the SOUTH
west.

STATISTICS show that it takes
about an ounce of silver to buy a
bushel of wheat. When silver is
worth 50 cents an ounce wheat is
worth about 80 cents n bushel and
when silver is worth more wheat
keeps up with it IN value. The ell
yer miner would not be the only one
benefited by an advance in the
price of silver The wheat grower
would benefit as well and the bal
ance of trade, instead of being
against us, making it necessary to
export gold. would be the other
way. The producers of this coun-
try would notice a great difference
if l0O,0OO,OO0 bushel of wheat
were annually exported at o value
Of Sl25 a bushel instead of val
ne Of 60cents. Cotton planters and
stock raisers would be benefited
70 as great a degree as wheat grow
ers, and there would be a great
difference in the financial condition
Of the country.

ONCE upon a time a petition
signed by many people received
respectful consideration because Il
expressed the sentiments Of the
signep, but nowadays when every
body puts his name to a paper just
because he is asked TO and not be-
cause be necessarily wishes to
have the petition granted, petitions
received little or no consideration.
This is right If a petition ex-
pressed the wishes Of the signers
it ought to receive consideration,
but as nearly all petitions nova
days express only the wish Of the
person who gets it up. it naturally
receives ouly the consideration due
to that person. 1t is said that
Grover Cleveland once signed a
petition for his own removal from
Office while he held an official posi-
tion in New York state, and that
since he found it ost he has had
very little respect for such docu-
ments. 1t is to be hoped that
Governor Thornton has a similar
disregard for these nuisances. He
will probably ere loug receive a
petition for the release Of that in
famous murderer, Kit Joy, which
was signed by some people with as
little consideration as Grover gave
when he signed the request for
his own official decapitahon. We
are happy to say however that n
strong feeling is springing up
against this murderer's pardon, and
already one prominent gentleman,
u County official, has publicly ex-
pressed his regret for his thought
lessness in signing this petition
and announces that he will write
Gov. Thornton asking that his
name be struck off the petition
and ulging that Joy be not pardon
ed. Law can only be a protection to
life and property when the fear of
certain and relentless punishment
restrains would be criminals from
breaking it. If sure and adequate
punishment does not follow the
breaking of law what restraint can
there be on would be murderers and
robbers? The kindly, soft heart
ed people who are getting up the
petition for Kit joys pardon for
get the wong they are doing to
the community in their charitable
wish to have this one blood-stained
train robber relieved from some of
the punishment which he has
earned.

Tan leading iibanciers Of f, the

for the free and unlimited coinsge

scarcity Of gold does not send il TO "a pre-

er--that's the rsason two-thirds Of the
stocks on the list are almost down to
zero. That's the reason an ounce of
silver at IT'S market value will today pur-
chase as large a quantity Of the City
staple articles as it would when it was
worth sl.29, because free coinage existed
and that WIS the mintage price. Half

silver is even scarcer than gold. When

money worth dollar just as much as
It's fiat on a bond. The treasury should
come to the aid Of itself and issue fiat

The report of the grand jury
which is printed in this issue is
interesting reading for the tax
payers of the county. 1t is well
known that the county has not had
funds for some time TO meet the
current expenses. This, it has been
explained, is partly due TO the post
ponement of the time for the pay
ment Of taxes by the last Legislature,
but the grand jury reports that Elk.
Sheriff Lockhnrt has in his hands
the sum of 500, ,658.SO and that Ex-
Treasurer Berg has S12,19762.
These amounts, if they were in the
County treasury instead of where
they are, would place the County
in an easy financial condition with
out the payment of the balance of
the taxes of last year which will
become due on the first of July,
but it is not to be expected that
either Of these amounts will get IN
to the County treasurey for some
lime yet The board of county
Commissioners has commenced
suits but these suits cannot be
tried before the next term Of the
district court and that will not be
until next November. The pay
ment Of the balance of the taxes
of last year will temporarily re-
lieve the County but the treasury
viii be empty again before the re-
venue for this year becomes avail
able. The Board Of County Com
missioners has made every
effort TO get the money in the hands
of the ex-oficials of the County
turned into the treasury but
has failed to accomplish anything
so far The situation is not a pleas
ant one TO contemplate but the con-
ditions as stated above exist and

A BULLETIN, recently issued by
the department Of agriculture,
shows the possibilities of sugar
beet raising in this Territory. It
shows that sugar beets raised in
this Territory contain from fve TO
six per cent more sugar than
those raised in France or Germany
aud these two countries are the
largest producers Of sugar beets
in the world. The climate Of New
Mexico Is very favorable for the
raising Of sugar beets and IL is
quite certain that beets which con-
tain from FIVE TO six per cent.
more sugar than those raised in
the largest beet sugar producing
countries in the world can be
raised with large profit here. Beet
raising could be carried on here in
connection with cattle raising and
n much larger number Of cattle
could be kept in the Territory than
is kept now. Several tons Of sug-
ar beets can be raised on an acre
of land and the pulp of the beet,
after the sugar las been extracted
is excellent feed for cattle. More
than 3,400,OOO.0O0 pounds Of sugar
are imported into the United
States annually az a cost of more
than s100,00O,0O0 and it is esi-
mated that beets enough could be
raised on land which has not yet
been reclaimed in New Mexico to
furnish all the sugar now import
ed. Sugar beets have been raised
in California for some years but
the climate there is not so favor
able for the production of sugar
beets as it is here. The raising Of
sugar beets in connection with
stock raising would utilize not
only the arabic land of the Terri
tory but the mountain ranges as
well. Some additional expert
ments are being made in the Ter
ritory this year with sugar beets
and it may not be long before New
Mexico will be large sugar pro-
ducer.

The Silver Convention which is
to be held here on the 4th and 9th
of July is being favorably talked
about by mining men and men
who are interested in the silver
question all over the southwest.
The continued low price Of silver
makes it necessary for something
to be done. The silver interest is
the backbone and support of the
interests of states and territories
occupying more than one third of
the entire area of the United
States and when an interest of
such great importance as this suf-
fers it is not difficult to see that
hard times must necessarily fol-
low. The only remedy is to bring
silver to its former and rightful
value, and this can only be done
by passing a free coinage law. The
object of the silver convention is
to assist in bringing about such
result and every resident of the
southwest is interested in it. The
desired result cannot be obtained
without agitation and it is to get
the ideas Of the leading silver adj
vocates that the convention has
been called. A deeper interest is
now being taken in the matter
than has ever been manifested
before and it more than probable
that the attendance will be much
larger at the coming convention
than at either of the previous
ones, and that more will be done
for the cause of silver than has
ever been accomplished in this
manner before. A united effort
lis necessary and this now seems
to be assured
