"Why are there so many more mur-
ders and horrible crimes than there
used to be?" inquiries a panic-stricken
correspondent. The simple and direct
answer to the question is, because
there are not The increase in MUIR
ders, poisonings, suicides, rapes, and
all such CHASTITY performances, is only
apparent, not real. There were as
many crimes-even as many atrocious
and unnatural crimes-in our fathers
and grandfathers' day as in ours, in
proportion to the entire population.
Indeed, it is pretty certain that the
blood-guiltiness of the human family
diminishes as the centuries pass; and
statistics, as far as they have been
kept with accuracy, seem to indicate
that every generation is better and
more law abiding than that which it
succeeds. The moral forces of the
world are gradually coming to theil
blossom and fruitage.
It seems, no doubt, to us who read the
current daily news, as if the universe
were rushing to ruin; as if the armies
of pandemonium were closing aroune
and taking exclusive possession of th'
earth. But this is an illusion produced
by newspaper refraction. We see al

'There never before were such aw
full crimes as there are now," AYERS our
correspondent. We might answer,
"How do you know?" A hundred
years ago, or even fifty, the crimes of
the world, even the most dastardly of
them, were seldom heard of beyond the
limits of the town, or, at most, the
state. 1t frequently took a week, or
even month, for the intelligence of a
great disaster or crime to get across a
single county. Smith told Johnson;
Johnson's wife told Perkins wife;
Perkins boy told the passengers on
the canal boat, where he led the horses,
or perhaps it got into the town sewing
circle, or apple bee, or donation party,
and thence it spread There was then
no news -gatherer; no Associated Press
horserake; no Omnipresent morning
paper. In the old time crimes were
punished and forgotten; now the MUIR
derer is treated to supersedeas, to
demurrer, to change of venue, to
new trial, and our breakfast paper is
worried and wearied with the everlast-
ing iteration. A hundred years ago
families were desolated just as they
are now; but there were no newsbOys
to din it in our ears.
Not only do statistics show that
there is not more crime in the world
than ever before; but they demonstrate
the curious and startling fact that,
taking the world over, the aggregate
is precisely the same from year to year
and from decade to decade. A record
kept in London, Paris, The Hague,
Berlin and Vienna for fifty years even
shows that each crime maintains ex-
actly it's own proportion to the whole
for given number of years there were
committed, each year, precisely 81
murders, PIP burglaries and so rapes
within certain district. This reduces
the doctrine of probabilities to fine
point. The method of committing sui
eide, and of putting fellow creatures
out of the world, varies greatly, how
ever. One year poison is the fashion;
another year, knives; another year,
bludgeons are almost wholly in vogue;
another year, pistols are the favorite
weapon. We are such initiative beings
that we incline to follow the fashion
even in our manifestations of rage
malice, despair.

how he may resist evil and be of some
assistance to his fellow man. When
the adversities of life suddenly arrests
