ENVIRONMENT AND CRIME.

From the Pttsburg Dispatch.
Heredity and environment as the we'll
springs of crime are being more recog-
nized every year. The most advanced
thinkers are more than ever convinced
that prevention must take the place of re-
formatory work if there is ever to be q
diminution of the number of criminals.
Penal confinement and punishment have
no effect.
Prevention may take several directions.
Heredity Is an influence hard to control,
but environment is capable of intell-
gent Improvement. 1t is notable that
crime increases, not in proportion to pop
ulation, but in proportion to the ten
dency of the population to crowd into the
cities. The tenements are the hotbeds Of
criminal infection.
The first work will be to get people out
Of the tenement districts and abolish those
crime breeders. Rapid transit Is assisting
materially in gaining this object, as II
makes it possible for people to live away
from the slums and yet get to their work.
This possibility having been created by
mmercial instinct philanthropy will be
concerned in getting the tenement dwell
ers out good pleasant home is half
of the struggle against criminal influence.

Missionary Work In China.

The recent massacre Of Christian
missionaries in China furnishes food
for reflection in the minds Of those OF a
practical turn. Should man climb to
the top Of a high church steeple ana
plunge headforemost earthward, de-
pending upon kind Providence to save
his life, he would doubtless be regard
ed as a fool. Yet these bands of we'll
meaning Christian people In the fond
hope of evangelizing the world. aban-
don home and friends. leaving behind
all that it would seem that fate In
tended that they should live for, and
plunge into localities where chances
of death or q worse fate are about
ninety-nine to one. A martyrdom OF
this sort sounds very we'll when i'm
mortalzed in verse or woven into
stirring narrative for the Sunday school
library, but when viewed in the cold,
hard lines of the telegraphic news re-
ports, there Is something revolving in
accounts of these butcheries that Is at
times far-reaching enough to reflect
upon people who urge young Christians
to go into missionary fields and con-
vert the heather.
In no locality upon the face of the
earth, probably, are the unregenerate
heather more cruel, fanatical or crafty
than in China. 1t Is we'll known that
not one out Of one hundred Of professed
Chinese converts In this country or In
the Flowery Kingdom are really In
earnest in professions of Christianity.
AS a general thing they are simply in
the business for earthly rewards, and
at home are ready at any time to empha-
size their return to Joss by cutting the
missionary's throat. At this long range
1t may be impossible to judge Of the
work of the missionaries in China, but
it is safe to assert that the good accom-
plished would scarcely balance the
sacrifice of the lives of the helpless
women and children who were butch
cred by the yellow devils at Kucheng.
If jealous Christians feel 1t their duty
to devote their lives to converting the
heather, the parties who encourage
their efforts should see that their work
Is performed within speaking distance
of the guns Of the iron-clads Of civiliza-
ton.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-08
A Question of Veracity.

The Philadelphia papers are stih en-
gagged in a lively controversy concern
ing the alleged meeting between Quay
and Martin. When the Press. some
days ago, alleged that Quay had sought
an interview with Martin for the pur-
pose of inducing him to abandon the
combine" and assist him in overthrow
and unqualifiedly denied the statement,
and added that he had not met Martin
since the rupture between them oc-
Cured. He also said that if Martin had
Mr.. Martn was promptly interviewed
and said Senator Quay had met him at
the home of Thomas Dolan, at a certain
hour on the evening of June II, that the
Quay, and referred to Mr.. Dolan for
corroboration of the truth of this alle-
cation. Mr.. Dolan was interviewed
and distinctly stated that the meeting
as stated by the latter. That ought 20
settle one of the points in controversy.
Mr.. Quay now alleges that he did not
deny having met Martin, but that the
latter lies when he says any PROPOSE
tion was made that Martin should be-
tray Hastings and the other members
of the anti-Quay combine, and stand in
with him (Quay) to down the admin
istration.
1t would seem that this affair has
now dwindled down to a mere question
of veracity between Senator Quay and
David Martin. Martin certainly has
fully corroborated the truth of his first
statement, and If he can as fully con-
firm his allegations as to the object OF
Senator Quay in seeking the interview
at Mr.. Dolan's house he will place the
junior senator in decidedly unfavor-
able attitude. Colonel Quay has had
to do great deal OF denying in the
present campaign and will evidently
have to do good deal more
before the convention meets on
the 2Sth of this month. Up to that
date Martin has decidedly the best of
the controversy. He has not de-
nounced Senator Quay as a liar" but
he has produced at least one highly rep
utable witness to testify that the sem
ator has not adhered very closely to the
truth.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-08
were known It might even appear that
Senator Quay himself inspired the at
tack on Judge Rice in the Times.


Senator Quay has returned to Phila-
.delphia and is directing his battle from
that point. He has issued another
statement defining his position and i'm
proves the occasion to once more assure
his friends that he is absolutely GER
tain OF victory. He also announces
that he Is fighting this battle for good
government and purer politics. All this
Is mere talk for effect. Senator Quay
has not won his battle and he knows he
has not; whether he wins or not will
depend solely and wholly upon the re-
suit of the primary elections in the city
of Philadelphia. If he succeeds in
breaking the lines Of his opponents In
that city and captures about one-half
the state delegation he will unques-
tionably secure control of the state con-
vention. If he fails in Philadelphia he
will be beaten in the state at large.
That Is the long and the short of 1t.
AS matter Of fact up to this time Quay
has secured only five delegates that
were not conceded to him by
his opponents from the Begin
ming, and he has lost four or
five times that number which he had
claimed as his own. Quay is keeping
up the campaign of bluster and boast
ing. but he is not making any serious In
roads cn the opposition. He must cap
tute from twenty-five to thirty dele
gates IL Philadelphia to win the state
convention. Philadelphia will decide
between the factions.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-08
Threatening the Judges Again.

Immediately after Senator Quay an
nounced himself as a candidate for
chairman of the state committee and
declared open war against the state
administration he announced his pur-
pose to make up slate of his own for
judges of the Superior court and would
substitute new men for all Governor
Hastings appointees excepting only
Judge Wickham. This announcement
had scarcely been sent broadcast before
he realized that he had committed a
blunder Then he forthwith reversed
himself and assured all the appointed
judges that he was entirely friendly to
them and that his success would in no.
wise jeopardize their nomination. His
sincerity was doubted and Is doubted
today.
Within the past week Quay has
scored successes in a few counties and
his chief lieutenants are so jubilant
that they are again threatening the Su-
perior count judges. 1t is now openly
declared that If Quay secures control
OF the convention he will take his re-
venge by knocking out all the judges
except Wickham and Reeder. This is
the last trump card in Quay's hand
His expectation is to intimidate the
delegates elected in the counties where
the judges he threatens reside. We are
confident that such methods will not
avail in Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties: the only effect will be to in
tensify public sentiment against Sena-
tor Quay and the more certainly assure
his defeat

The Worm at Last Turns.

Alderman Kent, of Chicago, has writ
ten to the Times-Herald Of that city,
which paper has been unsparing In Its
criticism of Chicagos municipal coun-
cil an amusing yet withal salient let
ter placing the blame for the councils
alleged rottenness. His remarks apply
equally to Scranton, which Is our ex-
cuse for giving place to them.
Writes the honorable Mr.. Kent: zone
of the smart young men Of the Times
Herald says that our honorable body
ls prognathous; that we have hyper
trophy Of the masseter and are oxyce-
phalous. Perhaps he Is right, what
ever he means, and perhaps he Is
wrong. At any rate, he Is only skim
ming the surface. II. as he suggests.
we are a floating scum, the pond be-
| meath Is stagnant and filthy. or we
would not he propagated from the
depths through the travail Of the ballot
box. Well, here we are, lot Of men
who are exactly the kind of representa-
tives the people want or we would not

the bunko game called politics. We are
here because some one wants us here.
We are wanted by some larger poll
tican who believes he can use our in
| fuence, acquire 1t how we may; wanted
by some corporation which owns our
vote; wanted by men who would feed at
the public trough, or by good citizens
who believe that the city should sup
port all their decrepit relatives. We
are men whose lives have been hard
and bitter; who have had ia. struggle
against ignorance and the evil influ-
ences of the city. II we were not pop.
ular we could not be here, and II we
were not kindly we would not be pop
ular. We can bear up under mixed
drinks but not temptation, and II we
could we would not be aldermen. We
play fair politics and will bail out those
who have worked for us and see that
our toughest heelers get on the police
force. That's the way we have been
trained, and the marble heart is the
worst of all wickedness
