CRIME IN THE COUNTRY.

CRIME IN THE COUNTRY.
 The Springfield Republican has been studying the murder question in Massa- chusetts and finds that four. little, re- tired communities, whose total popula- ton did not reach 2OOO in 1890, are found | to have been the scenes of three times as many violent murders since 1870 as the | six largest cities in the western coun- ties."
 The Republican remarks with a con- siderable force, That if this inquiry teaches anything at all, 1t Is that where the population is sparscst and the relig- ious, social and intellectual possibilities of advanced civilization are fewest, there murder is most rampant and unrestrain- ed. The native heather at our doors need attention"
 The remedy for this state of things, the Republican finds in a state or county police system. It says: "In our small towns in Western Massachusetts the po- lice arm is practically powerless. It will never be strong or in any way able to cope with the tendency to crime if it's on- ly source of power is the community it. self. These small agricultural town ships have become woefully poor in com parison with the manufacturing centers, and many of them have hard work to carry on town government decently. As Is we'll known, they are too poor to even maintain good country roads. The prac- tical lesson of this inquiry, therefore, is this: The state or county must maintain, or at least invigorate, the police power of these sparscly-settcd districts. Either there must be a state police force whose peculiar field shall be these forsaken towns; or the county or state must in some way assist the town governments in strengthening their own police organ izatons. The town constable system is not very effective at the best, Whatever method may be chosen, it seems certain that the small and weak towns must re- ceivc an impulse from beyond their own borders"
 Admitting the facts, as brought out by the Republican, we would take issue with them at once. If it means to insinuate that the moral tone of the average Mas sachusetJs or Connecticut town is below that of the cities, we would most respect fully beg to remonstrate. While the de- cline of country towns in population in many instances, must be admitted, car ryug with it a weakening of the country church (the best police system country town can have), we believe it can be truly said that the moral tone of the country towns is above that of the cities.
 Is it not suspected that ''resorts' of in- iquiCy of the deepest order exist right in Hartford, Springfield and Boston? What effort Is there made in these cities to close them up? The Republican need not go a mile from it's own sanctuary to find places which have dark reputation. 1t is mighty popular to talk about wickedness and crime at large, but when it comes to leading crusade against home evils, that's very different. We would suggest to the Republican that it do a little mis- sionary work in it's own city before un- yelling the crime and darkness of the rural towns. ... -..

General Harrison Said to 10 between
Fires OF Two Factions.


Fires OF Two Factions.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 4.-Local papers as
,ert that General Harrison is undecided as
TO whether he will attend the National
Lincoln league meeting in Louisville next
week. The ex-prcsident will not be there,
20 the American Press correspondent is In
formed by good authority, but it is not be-
cause he has consulted his own wishes in
the matter. The fact is that the ex-presi-
dent is very anxious TO attend the meeting
and has been reluctant to consider propo-
ntion that he should not be present. 1t Is
SAID there are two elements inside the
party who are trying to force him to a
promise that he will remain Mt home. One
Of these elements of course is the anti
Harrison crowd and the other element
comprises the best friends of the general
who have never lost the hope that he may
duplicate Cleveland's career. Thus it will
be seen that with his enemies opposing his
presence and some of his friends advising
against it, there is little likelihood of his
attending the convention.
