Why Crime Increases.

Judge Isaac Parker, of the United
States district court for Western Ar
kansas, lately made some startling
statements, and then followed them
with suggestive comments.
In charging the grand jury at the
opening Of his court at Fort Smith,
he said that whereas the ascertained
number of murders in this country in
1889 was less than $500, and in 1890
but 4, 300, and it was nearly 5000 in
1891.
It is startling to learn that there
were twenty-five more supposed mur.
derers lynched in 1889 than were exc
cuted according to law, and the excess
of lynched over executed murderers
was sikty.seven in 1890; but assuming
that only one person was concerned in
each murder, hardly one in twenty Of
those guilty Of the crime in these two
years suffered the penalty Of death,
either at the hands of the law or by
the violence Of mob.
Judge Parker gives several reasons
for the shocking state Of affairs thus
revealed: The indifference and incom-
pctence Of courts the general preva-
lence Of perjury the use Of corrupt
means--money, and social and other
inAuences-to shield criminals; the
sickly sentimentality that turns an
assassin into hero as soon as he is in
danger of his life; and finally, the in
difference of the people at large.
This comment is substantially true.
The remedy must come first at the
fountain head. The people are the
source of all power. If they SO will
the evil can be stopped.
Society must protect itself, but the
first thing for society to do is to re-
cognize the danger it is in because it
does not protect itself.

SOnth Carolina MormOns.

GREENWOOD, Jan. Slider j. Fl.
Schvanaveldt, of the Mormon church,
passed through here to-day on his way
to his home at Gentle Valley, Idaho.
He stated that he had just received
his release" from Prophet Will
fred Woodruff, after laboring in South
Carolina for the past two years.
The Elder says that he is we'll
pleased with his work in South Caro-
lima, and that the cause of the "faith-
ful' is progressing better than most
people suppose. 1t will be surprise
to many to learn that Norman elders
have been at work in this State for
the past ten years, and, according to
Elder Schvanaveldt, there are fourteen
elders now within our borders and
ministering to the wants of some three
hundred converts. Most of the con-
vcrts are in Horny, Clarendon and
Sumter counties, with few in Berke-
ly, Charleston, Spartanburg and
Greenville counties. He says the
majority of the recruits to the Latter
Day Saints came from the Baptist
and Methodist churches, and Of the
three hundred converts in South Car
olina only three are negroes. He re-
pudiated the idea that Mormonism
meant polygamy and asserted vehe-
mently that that it was neither preach
ed, practiced nor allowed by the Nor
mon church. He says that never
more than two per centum of the Nor
mons practiced polygamy and that il
1888 the Mormon church called upor
all it's members who had more thar
one wife to choose one, and while il
required them to continue to support
all former wives, yet recognized con
jugial relations only with one, anc
since then has not allowed a membe
to marry more than one.
He spoke in the highest terms O
Prophet Wilfred Woodruff, and claim
ed for him all the powers of the proph
cts of old. He stated that Prophe
| Woodruff had power to send him O
any other elder to any part of th
world to labor for the church, and al
elder always remained in his field un
til released by the prophet.
Elder Schvanavcldt says that al
immense amount of misrepresentation
has been heaped upon them here, a
elsewhere, but that as soon as thi
can be overcome the Latter Da,
Saints will make great inroads in Soutl
Carolina.
