same room at the Kimball and were no

when the bill Of Mr.. Pearce, putting ten

came up for passage, MIR. Jones made a

itself to their social necessities If a
woman wishes to avoid a disagreeable
experience or break an undesiru BILE en-

The recent bulletin of the census.
classifying crime by color, Is q most
interesting document An analysis of
the figures gives most surprising re-
suit and would give some most valua-
BILE information to many philosophers
upon the negro problem The classifi-
cation In both the bulletins Is very
thorough. A comparison shows that
the prevalence, of crime among the
negroes Is out of nil proportion to
their numbers. Taking imprisonment
AZ the basis of estimate. the bulletins
show that in 1900 there was ratio
of one prisoner to each 3os Of the Afri-
can population, while the white race
showed one prisoner to DAT of the pop
ulation, including foreign and native
elements And this proportion does
not apply to crimes Of lesser gravity
alone. In 1890 the negroes formed
somewhat less than one-cighth of our
though they contributed
no less than 81 per cent of our homi-
cides.
But your average northern philoso-
pher would immediately reply that
this would indicate nothing; for, says
he, the negro does not get justice in
the South. He is arrested and inn
prisoned without mercy while the
white man escapes. If this be true
then an analysis of the statistics for
the North Atlantic States would prove
It. But careful comparison of the
two bulletins shows that in the North
division of the census, includ-
ing New England, New York, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, there is one
negro criminal to every 1872 of the negro
population in 1890, and that there was
one prisoner to $50 whites.
This showing is twice as bad rs tho
South. 1t does not indicats that the
negroes who migrate North are so
much worse than the negroes of the
South, but indicates that the number
If offenses for which men are impris-
'ned in the North is larger than the
Sonth.
In other words, where is the safest
place in America in which to commit a
murder? Suppose 1 should desire to
murder my enemy and escape with inn

Sleeping Her Life Avav.

The German village Of Grambke is
greatly excited over case Of persist
ent somnolency in the person OF the
daughter Of one of the town officials.
The girl, pretty child of some -
years OF age, has been in continual
sleep over seven months and even
now does not show the least trace Of
arousing from her protracted slum-
Der. During the first week of her
enforced sleep the family seemed
grieved to the verge of distraction
and all was mourning in the house
where the child lay in the embrace
of deaths twin brother" Aftor %
while, however, when it was noticed
that she would swallow liquid nour-
ishment, their fears for her safety
seemed to abate to a certain degree.
and now, after a lapse of more than
half year, tho family go about their
daily labors as II the little maid we're

punity, in what community would go
to commit that deed? One thing Is
certain, would not go South. If
should kill man in North Carolina
the chances are that would be hung
for the deed. l certainly would not go
to Texas. / should expect to be swung
to limb in short order out there.
The fact is, would not dare to choose
either Southern or Western State
in which to commit murder.
Where would l have the highest
number of chances for escape? II I
desired to commit this high crime,
with the best chances for going un-
punished, should choose New York
city as the field for operation.
In the South there is public senti-
ment which is omnipotent, which is
fearful in its vengeance when driven
by such awful crimes. But it is sem
timent that indicates deep and abid-
ing respect for law and order, and the
rights of every ragged wait in the
streets are high and holy before that
august court of the communal senti-
ment The poorest child of the streets
would arouse that sentiment as quick
ly as the child of the rich and the
strong. If you wish to find commu-
nifty in which murder and crimes of a
similar rank are condoned you will

The picture of lynching has an un-
speakable horror, but the picture of
tho victim Of the crime which that
lynching symbolizes is more unspealS-
able in its horror. tt does not indi-
cate a collapse of law. 1t indicates a
collapse of the machinery for the en-
forcenent of law. Law has its source
in the heart of the community. Lynch
law is justifed-if capital punishment
is justified at all-in two cases First,
when there is no law statutory, and,
second, When the law cannot be en-
forced. The fact that we have 1000
murders and 100 legal executions in q
year indicates that our legal machinery
for enforcing law against homicides il
| q total failure. II indicates that there
is call for a radical and sweeping re.
form of our laws and the methods OF
legal procedure in such cases. It must
be remembered by those who philoso-
phizc from the Northern point of view
that the crime OF rape In the South, az
well as burglary, is classed among the
capital offences The great number OF
negroes who are lynched aro lynchcd
for this first awful offence, which, In
my opinion, forfeits the life Of the
criminal ten times over as compared
with homicide. Such is the sen siment
universal Of the South.
! The question Of lynching. let ms re.
peat, is not question of color, but OF
crime. and the collapse Of legal pro,
cedure. THOMAS DIXON, JR
