corn laws and the removal of their effects.
Recent official reports show a positive
decrease in crime in Great Britain, and
that it has been co-relative with the adj
vance in wages and of the increase in the
purchasing power OF wages. 1t shows
material improvement in the general
condition of the working classes. The
returns from savings banks, mutual aid
societies and other institutions, establish
this fact. The Commissioners of Prisons
furnish statistics that help to establish
the truth OF this reported improvement.
Since the year 1879 up to March 81 i,
1892, the date of the ending of the investi-
cation, there has been a marked and
steady decrease IN the prison population.
There have been some changes in the
penal laws. Shorter terms have been
substituted for former penalties in sew
eral cases. These OF course effect the
general figures. But allowing for them,
the details being given in the report, the
decline in the criminal statistics of the
country is still notable. And when the
increase of the population during the
past fifteen years is considered the de-
crease in crime is made all the more con-
spicuous.
The report shows that in 1874 the num-
Der of summary cases was 1872, 44O. Six
teen years later it was 1852, 032. In 1868,
indictable cases reached the height of
81 ,s12. They fell to 36, 64S in 1890. In
1868 the number of 'thabitual criminals
was 81 sos; in 1890 it was 81, 1853.
The same encouraging features appear
in the statistics Of persons held for penal
servitude. In Great Britain, Australia,
etc., in 1874 they numbered 1O,S67; in
1892, only 5,06S. The number of persons
sentenced to penal servitude year by year
is given in table showing rapid and grad
ual decrease, but we will give only three
Instances by way of contrast: During five
years ending December 31st, 1874, there
were 1922; during the five years ending
Dec. 81, 1889 they numbered 945. Com
pare that with the five years ending Dec.
81, 1853, forty years before, when there
were 2, $50.
1t must not be forgotten that while this
decrease in convictions was going on,
the population increased fully eight and
a half millions. The commissioners,
therefore, had good grounds for report
ing that for several years crime has
blended to fall, and this notwithstand-
ing the increase in the general popula-
ton.
The contrary appears to be the case in.
the United States. Crime has increased
Notwithstanding the march of education,
and the statistics show that the ratio of
educated persons to the uneducated is
alarmingly great. We do not pretend to
say that the tariff affects this question
one way or another. But we do say that
facts and figures are dead against the no.
ton that free trade in England has al
fected the social condition in the manner
that is claimed by the protectionists.

Gov, FRANCIS, of Missouri, in his very
able message to the legislature, opposes
the renewal of the contracts for convict
labor on the present terms. In former
message he advocated the employment of
the penitentiary prisoners on the county
roads. but this is seen to be impracticable,
and the governor now recommends a
statutory minimum OF at least 60 cents a
day to the labor of convicts, and the
letting OF that labor to the highest bid
ders, requiring the contractors to pay the
cost of power furnished. He also sug-
gests that 10 cents day of the amount
paid for the labor go to each convict's
credit, to be paid at the expiration of his
sentence. or given to those dependent
upon him.

Let The consequence Follow. !,

Some of contemporaries in attempting
to answer the arguments and facts set
forth by THE HERALD on timely topic,
remind US OF a scientific and practical
truth recently set forth in an English
periodical. 1t is stated thus: Fine
edged tools assume blue color and lose
all temper, if exposed for any considerable
length of time to the light of the sun
either in summer or winter"
AS some of our friends can scarcely be
regarded as "fine edged" we would have
been little at loss for a full application
of this item had it not been for another
remark by the same paper, which says:
ga large cross-cut saw with which the
experimenters were working, was put out
OF shape and its temper ruined by a
single nights exposure to first-quarter
moon.''
Light, it appears, whether by night or
day seems to have this effect Of infiicting
the blues and putting out of temper rough
cross-cut saws as well as fine-edged tools,
if the exposure is long enough, and it
does not take much in certain instances.
We have no desire to give anybody the
blues nor to cause anyone to lose all
temper, but we regard it as our duty to
turn on the light when a matter of i'm
portance is to be presented, and will have
to do so pro bono publico whatever the
consequences may be in individual in
ctnncac

Poverty and Crime In England.

There has been much distress in London
and other parts of England this winter.
There is always number of IN employed
people over there, and at this sason the
bony hand OF poverty grips tighter than
at any other time. Crime increases, too,
as natural consequence.
These evils are unfairly charged by
some partisan papers to ''free trade'' in
England, and dire calamities are pre-
dicted rs consequence of its adoption in
the United States. The truth is that
there has never been SO much wide
spread distress among the laboring people
Of Great Britain since the repeal OF the

The castle of the Prince of Tolfi was
built on the summit of the towering
and prcciptous rock of Scylla, and
commanded magnificent view of
Sicily in all its grandeur. Here during
the wars of the middle ages, when the
fertile plains of Italy were devastated
by hostile factions, those prisoners were
confined, for whose ransom Il costly
price was demanded. Here, too, in Il
dungeon, cNcavatcd deep in the solid
rock, the misera bic victim was inn
INJURED, whom revenge pursued-the
dark, fierce, and IMPLYING revenge of
an Italian heart.
Vivcnzio-thc noble and the gcncr-
Gus, the fearless in battle, and the
pride of Naples in her sunny hours of
pcaco-thc young, the brave, the proud
Nivcnzio, fell beneath this subtle and
remorselcss spirit. He was the prisoner
of Tolti, and he languishcd in that
rock-cncirclcd dungeon. which stood
alone and whose portals never opened
twice upon living captive.
1t had t ne semb ancc of vast cage,
for the roof and floor and sides were of
iron, solidly wrought, and spaciously
constructed. High above there ran a
range of seven grated windows,
guarded with MASSEY bars of the same
metal, which admitted light and air.
Save these, and the tall folding oors
beneath them which occupied the cen
ter, no chink or chasm or projection
broke the smooth black surface of the
walls. An iron bedstead, Uttered with
straw, stood in one corner; and beside
1T, vessel with water, and a coarse
dish filled with coarscr food.
Even the intrepid soul of Vivcnzio
shrunk with dismay as he entered this
abode, and heard the pondcrous door
triple locked by the silent ruifians who
conducted him to it, Their silence
seemed prophetic of his fate, of the liv-
ing grave that had been prepared for
him. His mcnaces and his cntrcatics,
his indignant appeals for justice, and
his questioning of their intentions were
alike in vain. They listened. but spoke
not. Fit ministers of crime that
should have no tongue.
How dismal was the sound of their
retiring steps! And us their faint
echoes died along the winding passages,
fearful presage grew within him,
that never more the face or voice or
