back with Officer Kelly, of the Ed

His explanation was not satisfactory to
Miss Planter, who wanted to know
how Quinlan could be so absent minded
as TO walk off with her brothers trous-

into the room when the door was
locked. Justice Feitner took her view
of the case, and held Quinlan in 81 600

As Others See us.

1t Is interesting, sometimes, to view
ourselves as others see us. Fortunately
this is not impossible, since in the es-
teemed Washington Post of Monday we
are favored with the appended por-
trait:
The anthracite coal region in Pennsyl-
vania Is stained with more crime than any
other section of the United States is now
or ever has been. The record surpasses
In Its bloody horrors the worst pictures Of
San Francisco and Sacramento Just be-
fore the vigilance committee took charge
OF the administration of justice in those
cities. Much al we hear of crime In the
Indian Territory, and we doubtless get ex-
aggerated accounts, the reports are tame
enough when compared with the Penn
sylvania record. Luzerne, Carbondale
and Schuylkill counties, rich and intelli-
gent as to their native and many of their
adopted citizens. are the theater Of this
satanic onslaught on life and property.
These three counties have an aggregate
population of 100000. There were about
100 murders in this region between Jan. /
and Oct. 81 of this year. Only eleven of
the murderers were convicted, and not
one was found guilty of murder in the
first degree. Last year the number of
homicides was about 100, with few convic-
tions and no executions. The record for
1892 is similar to this In all respects. In

ell minor felonies there is an equal prom
inence. lncendiarism, burglary, highway
robbery and nameless social crimes are so
common as to excite little interest. II Is
stated that, by reason of crimes recently
committed near Wilkes-B Barre, the au-
thoritites of that city and of Luzerne
county have decided to organize and pros
ecute a movement for the repression of
crime through the courts. 1t will be a
herculean task, requiring q large outlay
of money and 1t will not be done in a
week or a month, but 1t is high time for
determined action. The disgrace is get
ting to be an infamy. The prosperity
of the coal region and the continuance of
wholesale and unpunished murder are in
compatible.
There are, to be sure, some blemishes
of detail on this pessimistic canvass
The artist of the Post will search the
map of Pennsylvania in vain for any
reference to Carbondale county. Per-
haps he used the word in a prophetic
sense. The point is immaterial, however,
in contrast with the pictures depress-
ing general effect. We have it in mind
to grow furiously indignant; and to
animadvert with crushing scorn upon
the fabrications of these numerous
coal-fields penny-a-liners who make a
beggarly business out of peddling dis
torted chronicles of this regions ex-
aggerated badness.
Upon second thought, however, we
will desist. The fiction they retail is
often ghastly in its crudeness; but af-
ter all, 1t is not without some ground
work of facts. The inhabitants of the
anthracite region do not, to be sure,
wear their hair long nor so about clad
in buckskins and bowie knives. They
are not yet in the daily habit of killing
man before each meal nor possessed
of the disposition which sardonically
revels in human gore But a goodly
percentage of them are still on the
human side of absolute perfection, and
several that we know of are ill pre-
pared to take their places among SER
apis and cherubim. Lawlesshess there
unquestionabfy is among us; hence we
should accept the Posts unconscious
caricature in all humility and strive
some day to merit the honor of it's dis
tinguished appreciation

IN THE STEAMER.

In the steamer, oh, my darling!
When the fog horns shrek and blow
And the footsteps of the stewards
Softly come and softly go
When the passengers are moaning
With deep and heartfelt woe,
VIII you think of me and love me
AS you did week ago?
In the cabin, OH my darling!
Think not bitterly of me-,
Though l rushed away and left you
In the middle of our tea.

To gaze upon the deep blue sea,
1t was best to leave you thus, dear,
Best for you and best for me.

From the Chicago Tribune.
"If that man had spoken to me as he did
to you," said one of the bystsnders after
the crowd on the corner had dwindled
away, land called me a driveling idiot,
a sneaking scoundrel, a pie-faced mutton
head, a measly hypocrite, a hump-shoul-
dered villain, and an all-round chump
with skull full of cold mush instead of
brains, I'd have knocked him down."
"Why. Great Scottp' responded the big
good-natured man in the heavy overcoat.
"Tm used to worse than that I've just
run for sheriff"
