The Chicago Tribune has just pub
liShed its statistics Of murders in the
United States, as annually collected
for that journal. They show a great
and continuing increase Of this crime.
During 1894, there were in the United
States $500 murders, for which 1872
persons were legally executed and 100
were lyuCHcu. LII 1870, UueTe were
6,615 murders. Five years ago, in
1889, the number Of murders was 1861.
Ten years ago, in 1885, there were
1883 to $500 murders, indicates a
frightful increase of homicide.
The insane are increasing, with
even greater rapidity. The tax sales
for unpaid taxes are appallidg and the
mortgage foreclosures transfer every
year territory equal in extent to the
state of Rhode Island to the Money
lenders.
Oh! the G.. o. P. and the D. O.P.
are getting in their work nobly.
