CRIMES DECREASE IN FIFTEEN
YEARS.
Almost all of this has been done
within the last Is years. Now to prove
that / am not a theorist, striving to
carry his point at any cost by twist
ing things and, perhaps, by bidding
one side not favorable to him (and hon.
est theorists have been known to do
such things unconsciously), let me
show what the condition was here dur
ing a week of 1880. chosen at random.
and tabulated. as nearly as possible. in
the same way that / have tabulated
last weeks crimes. Perhaps 1t may be
as well to print the tables side by side.

he is in the midst of undeveloped sur
roundings Place him among educated
things, even though they be but edu-
cated-refined and perfected-bricks
and mortar. and he will feel their infiu-
cnce with a rapidity that is not less
than amazing to the student. The ex-
pertinent has been tried in the slum dis
tricts of New York city The construc-
ticn OF Mr.. r. Fulton Cuttings model

reduced the crime record Of the neigh
borhood by a considerable percentage,
although they did not reduce, but rath-
err increased its population. and did not
change its personnel at all. The old
buildings which the new dwellings thus
replaced had been of a character to
encourage filth and morbid living, and
so develop crime. The new buildings
were OF a nature to encourage cleanli-
ness and normal home life, and so de-
veloped morality. Philadelphia was
overrun by thugs and highway robbers
and the general genius tough. Her
dark alleys, narrow and gloomy, az
forded countless opportunities for as
saults and hiding hooks for criminals.

/ cannot bring even myself to believe
that this Is quite a fair comparison.
The differences are too great. "a can-
not but feel convinced that the week
of this year is unusually free from
crime and that Of 1880 particularly
wicked; yet both were selected en-
tirely at random. Were 1t possible for
me at the moment to get figures for
two twelve months for comparison
should feel more certain that / was
not exaggerating, but, unfortunately,
/ have temporarily exhausted the pa
thence of my informant in obtaining
the figures which / give. Still, assum-
ing that some allowance must be made
on this score. surely 1t cannot be that a
difference of more than 100 per centum
can possibly be attributable to chance.
Suppose we cut IL in half and make 1t
so per centum. What a vast advance
is that The improvements which
London has. as a city, made in her
slum districts have cost millions of
pounds. But suppose that for every
IL 900 she stops a man from crime and
turns his work into honest channels.
Observe her profit:
First, she saves what she would have
lost through his evil doing. Second,
she saves what IL would have cost to
watch him, apprehend him and con-
Wet him. Third, she saves what 1t
would have cost her to guard him,
feed him and clothe him during the
period of his punishment. Fourth, she
saves what his criminal influence on
his companions would have cost her.

When the average American thinks of
London crime. he things of the crimes
or Dickens London. or else remembers
what he read OF Whitechapel at the
time the Ripper" murders filed Amer
lean newspapers and weeklies with
graphic accounts of that extraordinary
district.
Neither applies now. Doubtless Dick
ems pen pictures of Fagin and Bin
Sykes ard their homes and their COM
panions were faithful then. and il is
probable that the American journalists
who were sent here TO study. White

In their descriptions as the excitement
OF the time and the brevity OF their
hurried visits permitted them to be.
But Dickens time is past. and even
since the Ripper days London has
metamorphosed.
LESS WICKED THAN NEW YORK.
To obtain an American population
draw a circle 10 miles In circumference
around New York and count all the
people which AZ includes. This en-
braces New York. Brooklyn, Jersey
City. Hoboken, Long Island City. and
almost score Of small towns. A
weeks file of a New York paper is on
my table. and have had all the high
way robberies. burglaries. bank rob-
berries. rapes. murderous assaults and
thefts OF all kinds amounting TO more
than 500 which are reported I'm those
seven newspapers counted up. This is
the result:
MURDERS .....--..............,. 9
Murderous assaults ................... 3
Burglarles ....................... %
Highway robberies ...............1 IL
Attempted bank robbery .............
Thefts Of 500 and more :: 2
This Is from an old file, selected at
random, at Lows Exchange. Now
have also In my possession a list, not
only of similar crimes spoken of by
the newspapers. but OF every case re-
ported TO the police for last week in
London. 1t follows:

THE FIRST STEP.

1t is gratifying to know that one
committee of the convention has COM
pleted its labors, and reported to the
convention Article One of the Constitu-
ton Of the State of Utah. 1t consists
OF brief preamble and an elaborate
but concise Bill of Rights. It appears
on first reading to be a sound non
partisan document. 1t should be ex-
amined carefully, not only by the dele
gates to the convention but by all the
people OF Utah. If any objections can
be found with it, now is the time to
offer them. 1t will be taken I'D on
Wednesday and if the same unanimity
concerning its several provisions pre-
walls in the convention that was ar
rived at by the committee which ore
pared it, we may expect the introduce
tory article of the Constitution to be
passed with but little debate and small
delays. There appears to be nothing in
it Of q partisan character. 1t is pre-
sentative OF that popular liberty =and
equality before the law which govern
ments are established to maintain, and
recommends itself as a well worded
and freedom inspiring declaration.

posed of Representative elected from
representative districts. That makes
it a popular assembly. 1t could not
Legislature Of Utah ought to be organ
lied on similar basis as to principle
but different as to numbers to form a
representative district.
First it should be determined how
many members shall constitute each
House of the Assembly. Next, the
districts should be organized from
which those members shall be, elected.
The number should be sufficient to
afford a fair representation Of all the
people, but not too many to make the
Assembly unwieldy and likely to in
crease discussion. The Senate should
have about half as many members as
the House.
The enlargement of the body
directly representative of the people
in the National Congress has not as
sisted In the transaction of the public
business. There are too many men
on each side of public questions. De-
bates are heightened out and much
time is wasted by multiplied speeches
along the same lines of argument
There is no need for very large As
sembly at present in Utah ut would
be more costly and less compact than
smaller body. It would thus cause
a waste of time as we'll as money.
The legislative districts should be
composed of people who dive in the
same vicinity. There must be no
shoestringing or arbitrary divisions or
connections for party ends. The
county boundaries are not equitable
lines for legislative purposes. 1t is
not mere territory that is to be repre-
sented in the legislature, but people.
County interests and ambitions ought
not to figure in an Assembly which is
to make general laws for the whole
state. The respective counties are so
widely disproportioned as to popula-
ton that they are totally unadapted
for legislative districts.
The idea that each county must have
at least one member and that the num-
Der may be increased for the very
large counties, is mingling of two
opposite principles in the formation of
representative districts. One is the
principle of area, the other of popula-
ton, and they are homogeneous. 1t
would also necessitate a body too
numerous for the needs of the state
and cause an expenditure that would
not only be unnecessary but would be
detrimental.
We hope there are not enough dele
gates welded IN a fad n rar,,,i+ +to
establishment of the legislature on
any other principle than population as
a basis for representation. That there
will be no attempt to link together
distant and unattached localities in
the same district. And that the dis
patch of public business. at the least
reasonable public expense, will be kept
in view when the legislative appor-
tionment and representation is decided

RESTITUTION.

The lirst fruits of the defeat of the
Reilly funding bill came yesterday in the

tune has already been dedicated TO pub
lie uses. Doubtless Congress will see in
due time that the great benefaction at
Palo Alto does not suffer. For the pres
ent however, the law must take its
course.
If the Government can successfully
maintain this suit. the problem of the
Central Pacific debt will be materially
simplified. The Huntington, Croker and

plunder absorbed from the assets held in
trust for the creditors of the corporation,
and the amount which il will be neces-
sary to recover from the road itself will
be reduced to figure which the property
