EDUCATION AND CRIME.
SYKESVILLE. Md. Dec. 10

SYKESEILLE, Md. Dec. 10.
To the Editor:
Keep right on, Mr.. Editor. declaim-
ing that education is the salvation of
the youth of the country The Bon
ner murder in your State, committed
by educated young men and women of
respectable families, under the inspi-
ration of Jesse James literature. is
only another instance in which educa
ton has prepared for crime and unpre-
pared its victims for honest industry.
If all this happens in zone of the
most enlightened and prosperous rural
communities, with the principals the
offshoots of the best families, what can
be expected from the lower classes of
our cities who see education rewarding
them with no opening for Ggeiihoods,
and want. winter after winter, staring
them in the face? Are we not prepar
ing, by our education, nation of Grim
mails and anarchists? IL the Bonner
murderers had not so much as known
their A b C's, there is every proba-
bility that the crime with which they
have disgraced their State would have
never been committed From all over
the country we are seeing gross
crimes, refined crimes. socialism and
anarchy looming up as the returns for
our education. Home training to hon
est industry is the first need of the
hour

WANT NO MORE FUSION JUDGES


And still the story as to Judge Rob
inson's cranky doings in the Western
part of the State grows. Some of the
rude and ugly things this judicial
clown did and said would stagger hui
man credulity were they not substanti-
ated by the very best authority. 1T
is indeed strange that any man in a
public position, to say nothing of one
wearing the judicial ermine, should so
far forget himself and his position as
to be guilty of them. The following
from the Franklin Press adds another
chapter to the story:
1--WE were aware of the mprece-
dented conduct of Judge Robinson
while on the bench in this end of the
circuit, but refrained from the publ
cation of any structures, preferring to
let the matter pass in pity and through
respect to the office. The report pub
lished by the Rutherfordton Democrat
does not contain one-half of the
strange doings Of the Judge, as can be
verified by the lawyers, sheriffs and
citizens Of Jackson. Macon. Clay, Cher
okee, Graham and Swain counties.
We are told that his conduct abraham
court was not a circumstance to what
it was at Swain court, where we learn
that he fatty disputed the word of
lawyers and called them liars and swore
prOfane oaths while sitting on the
bench in open court. His abuse Of
Sheriff Roane at Macon court was dis
guSting and a shame, and we also learn
that the same was the case in adjoin-
ing counties. Not only this. but wit
nesses were scolded and rallied at and
bemeaned in a very rude and mciyil
manner. Also the harmless citizen
who happened to enter the court room
with screaking shoes was scolded and
abused as though he was guilty of
some mean. low. degrading otfense.
The Judge left this part of the circuit
without any friends among the law
yers, and his conduct Disguised people
so much that they want no more fu
sion judges around this circuit unless
they behave better than this one"

 There is no safety in predicting any turn in a game in which a youthful monarch of Russia holdsa strong hand, but. though many runors have been running around about the new ear, Njcholas IE.. there seems no probability of his undertaking any inilammablc role, says Col. T. O. Dolge in the Forum.

Russia needs her money for the great trans siberian railway and she ought not to blow it out of the mouths of big gums. No doubt there is a tension in many of the international relations, but that is always present, and diplomats are growing more reasonable. lt is proba blc that what has been said of the char acter of Nicholas is in the main true and this should lead him to follow in the footsteps or his illustlious father and make Russia still the dictator of peace.

THE GREELEY COLONY.
Happy People and n High Standard of
 Public MoraIs,


 The Greeley colony was composed of the best elements of eastern citizen ship; and the first and most important lesson it teaches Is that people of this class are responsive to such call as Mir Meelier put forth, He did not ap- peal to the instinct of speculation. He pleaded for new institutions, and aimed at high ideals; and he found that men of culture and of means were ready to cooperate heartily in such an under taking. This fact lends encourage ment to those who ard hoping for great things to come from the development of the arid region.
 The site of the Greeley colony, writes W. C. Smythe in Century, was not well chosen--or, at least, it did not in all respects meet the expectations of those who selected it. They were there fore unable to realize all theIr plans. They made some serious miscalcula- tions For instance, they estimated the cost of their canals at twenty thou sand dollars, while the actual cost was more than twenty times as great. truit-culture was mentioned in the prospectus as certain to be an impor- tant industry, but the soil and climate proved unsuitable. The dream of az improved household economy, based on plan for cooperative bakeries and laundries, also proved delusive There were other disappointments, but the fundamental claims of irrigation were all vindicated at Greeley, as they have been whenever and wherever brought fairly to the test.
 A few years of intelligent labor brought high degree of average pros pcrity, based upon substantial founda- tions Even the severe panic of the summer of 1893 did not materially dis turb these foundatious During those trying weeks when mines and smcltcrs shut down, and banks and stores closed their doors, water, soil and sunshine continued Co do their perfect work in the Union colony. Greeley seemed like an oasis of prosperity iu desert oi despair The farmers received as the reward of the summers labor moro than million dollars in cash for the single item of potatoes But this Is the ehi-f crop at Greeley nfter the neccs- sities of lifa have been provided for; and the wide reputation and handsonc financial returns won for the Greeley potato illustrate the WisdOm of Q sur plus crop of tie bighcst quality.

 As a factor in longevity the London Speaker calls attention to Che fact that those people who have been accustomed to the continued disciplinary use of their brains daily and who have placed their nerve power under a highly-de- velopcd constitutional training are en, abled by these very mems Co escape the so-called early decay and to avoid those alarming accidents to health from which somany apparently healthy men suecumb.
