The Rapid Increase of Crime.

That truly was q striking summary
of pathological statistics presented by
ex- President Andrew ID. White in a
recent address before the Patria club,
of New York. The thought which
arises after reading it, especially in
view of the census bulletin on crimes to
which reference was made in yester-
days Tribune, Is, "Where will it all
end?" Are we to become a nation of
cut-throats?
Comparing the murders of 1889 with
those of 1895 DR.. White tinds-we use
the Philadelphia Times synopsis of his
address-that while there We're 1861
cases, or So to every million persons
in the former year, there were lO,50p
murders, or 115 to every million of
population, in the year last past; an
increase for the six years of 6.933 mur-
ders and 81 per million inhabitants.
In 1889 one murderer out of 45 paid the
penalty Of his crime on the scaffold
in 1896 only one murderer in "a was
executed. Lynching had. however, be-
come rapidly frequent, and while the
population had only increased % per
cent. the murderers' butchers bill had
increased so per cent. Mr.. White said
further that if all murderers at that
time We're locked up there would be 49,
900 of them filling condemned cells,
while, in fact, there We're but 1851
homicides in prison.
Among the causes which have led to
this growth of homicidal crime, with
its corresponding lack of proportionate
punishment, DIR. White cites the weak
ening Of righteous indignation against
such crimes. and points out that long
share: that there is too much maIdin
sorrow and sickly pity for criminals;
that legal proceedings have become a
chance game; that chicanery and tech
nicalities have been TOO freely permit
ted; that the facilities for appeal and
retrials have been abused; that too
many escapes have been permitted, and
that the Gubernatorial power of pardon
has been outrageously abused. His
remedies include the moral education
of the people, the practical examina
tion of criminal and charitable instr
tutions; the remodelirg of prisons ari
their punishment; the strict punih-
ment of subsidiary crimes, and fen-
eral development of the theory mat
murder trials are not mere exhibitions
Of defensive tactics; that ver1lcts snail
mean what they say; that long 'elays
between arrest and trial shall beaVoid-
ed, and that no person shall ave the
individual right to step bet'eeh the
convicted man and the execufoher
DR.. White, had he so wihed' could
have cited horrible exa"'ie ol the
abuse of the pardoning ,ower III the

three or four years, ha' uoi'e more 10

BalIinston Booths Statement.

A formal statement of the reasons
which impelled them 10 sever their con-
nection with the Salvation Army has
been issued by Commander and Mrs.
Ballington Booth. The statement is
confirmation of the earlier impression
that this separation was forced by ar
btrary and dictatorial methods on the
part of the elder Booth. A large por-
tion of the statement refers tn differ
ences of opinion which arose between
parent and son concerning details of
army work in this country-dilference
in which the sons suggestions were in
variably set aside with needless show OF
discourtesy. This portion is not of es-
pecial interest outside Of army circles.
But the statement further says, in re-
lation to the elder Booths brief visit
to the United States: From first to
last he impressed us with his displeas-
ure with us personally, and with our
method of administering affairs. We
loved and understood this country. He
exhibited prejudice and misconception
of it and it's people. He objected to the
display of the national flag upon our
badges and i'm our halls and homes. He
rying the Stars and Stripes at the head
of our parades. He objected to the use
of the eagle upon our crests and con-
stantly spoke deprecatingly of the
country. its people and its institutions.
Our constant defense and explanation
in answer to his attacks only increased
the difficulty. With our affection for
and knowledge of America this placed
us in a most unfortunate position. He.
in consequence, showed little sympathy
with us. We have become
convinced that the system of governing
the work In this country from foreign
center is neither wise nor practical
Under these circumstances, assuming
the statement to be true (and this will
not be doubted by any one who person.
ally knows either Ballington Booth or
his estimable wife) the course pursued
by the late American commander was
both proper and inevitable. There can
be no question as to the justification of
it. A religious organization, whatever
its ways in foreign lands, must not eX-
pect to succeed i'm this country on
platform of anti-Americanism The
sooner this fact is realized in its am
plest significance the sooner will there
be an end to disappointment for those
foreign exploiters of new schemes &C.
clesiastical who look upon the United
States as fit experiment ground only
SO long as the usufruct goes abroad.
