ditions are fixed and politics do not enter
into the enforcement of the laws,
whereas in the United States the execu-
ton Of the law is vigorous or lax in ac-
cordance with the moral sentiment of
the community, and varying greatly in
different parts of the country. The
change in the laws has something to do
with the number of crimes as shown by
convictions. This is illustrated by Col.
Wright by the record of liquor legisla-
ton in connection with crime. Prohibi-
tory legislation seems to increase drunk
enness. because it increases. If enforced,
the number of convictions. On the other
hand. where license laws prevail the Off
Gals are more lenient in making arrests
State 15s offenses are punished as crimes,
while in another the number is but 1OS.
In such cases there can be no COMPARE
son instituted regarding crime and its
punishment.
Colonel Wright does not express an
opinion about the status of high crimes.
but he asserts that crime is not gener-
ally increasing in this country. That
there has been no alarming increase,
such as many persons assert. Colonel
Wright quotes the census to prove the
contrary, to the effect that in 1880 there
were 700 convicts in the State prisons to
each million of population. which had in
creased to 722 in 1890. Whether reliable
or otherwise. these figures do not show
an alarming increase Of crime In recent
years. To sustain his view Colonel
Wright quotes the opinion of Rev. F. HI.
Wines, the expert who had charge of the
criminal statistics in the last census,
that crime Of a serious character is
rather on the decline in this country
than on the increase"
While what comes under the observa-
ton of individuals may not coincide
with Mr.. Winess opinion, We can find
consolation in accepting the opinion of
the expert based upon years of investi-
CATION as being the more cheerful and
probably better one.

eighty-fourth year and has had quite a
varied career. AS member for several
years of the Illinois Legislature, Secretary
Of State one term, Judge of the Supreme
Court and United States Senator for twelve
years. he had an unusually wide experience
In public life. In his first election to the
United States Senate in 1856 Abraham Lin
coin was one of his competitors. At that
time Judge Trumbull was Democrat, but
a little later he joined the Republican party
and in 1860 was an ardent supporter of Mr..
Lincoln for President. In the Senate he did
good service for the national cause and was
one of the first to propose an amendment
to the federal Constitution for the abolition
of slavery. He was an excellent lawyer and
served several years as chairman Of the Sem
ate committee on the judiciary. After his
retirement from the Senate he practiced law
in Chicago with much success.

The best evidence yet afforded that the
projectors and incorporators of the new Uni
versity of Indianapolis really mean business
is the election Of Mr.. Allen M. Fletcher as
its first president There is double fitness in
the choice. Besides coming from family
which has been honorably identified with the
growth Of the city from its first beginning,
Mr.. Fletcher himself represents a business
element at once conservative and progress
sive. In former times it used to be thought
that the president of college or university
must be literary man by profession, a
teacher of long experience. a master of
Greek and Latin roots. and. If possible, a
preacher of the gospel. Nowadays, how
ever. business talent and executive ability
are regarded as better qualifications for a
college president than any or all of the
others without these. Mr.. Fletcher pos
sesses these and a wide knowledge Of men
and affairs which will make his services
very valuable to the new institution.

REV. MORGAN's OFFENsE.

New York papers are still chattering
over the sinful and shocking act of Rev.
Dr. Morgan, of the Church of the Heav-
emily Rest, in palming off upon his con-
gregation as his own an Easter sermon
taken from a book written by another
man. The defense made by Mr.. Morgan
Is that the extra labors of Holy Week
made it impossible for him to finish the
discourse he had begun, so he took down
volume of sermons, selected one he
thought suitable. read it over carefully
once or twice and then dictated it's sub
stance to his secretary The secretary's
evidence supports the story. 1t was very
wrong of Mr.. Morgan, Of course. If he
couldn't provide his hearers with SER
frank and honest enough to bring the
printed volume to the. pulpit. and, after
explaining the situation. read from it
what he had selected. According to all
accounts the pastor in question is a
jealous, Woodworking man who doesn't
get much heavenly rest himself, and his
congregation, recognizing this. Is ready
to forgive his apparent dece1t In this
case. The newspapers are more sternly
virtuous, and decline to excuse him.
With all their righteous Indignation,
however. they have neglected to rebuke
another pastor whose offense, to many
minds, is much more serious than liter
airy plagiarism. This offender is the
Jersey City minister who detected the
borrowed character of Mr.. Morgan's ser
mon and sat promptly down and wrote
to a newspaper to tell of his discovery.
Assuming that his conscience was Of the
peculiarly sensitive variety that made it
necessary for him to confess other mems
sins, it would seem that remonstrance
addressed 10 the sinner himself or to
those nearest him ought to have salts
fed his sense of justice. Fastening to
proclaim his neighbours fault to the
world was not a proceeding to commend
the Jersey City preacher to the love or
respect of his fellow-men. Morgan made
a mistake. but the other man made a
greater one.

WHERE 1T HITS HARD.

A washington correspondent reports
Representative Dingley, chairman Of the
ways and means committee. as saying:
zone has but to examine the wool and
wooden goods schedules and the tabular
statements prepared each month by the
Treasury Department to ascertain just
where our people are being hit the hard
est" Evidently, he meant to imply that
they are being hit hard in every line of
imported goods upon which the German
Wilson tariff made heavy decreases in
the duties. One of these is wool and
wooden goods. In the memorable cam
paign of 1892, when the people were
made to believe that they were suffering
from hard times and could only have
prosperity by placing the Democratic
party in power, free wool was one Of the
sweet boons promised them. They were
assured that repeal of the duty would
make wool so cheap that American man.
ufacturers of wooden goods would pros
per as never before and be able to sell
their goods in ''the markets of the
world" They were further assured that
create an increased demand for wool
and cause a marked advance in price
Thus American wool growers as well as
manufacturers were to be greatly bene-
fitted by free wool. The duty was re-
pealed, and the results are before the
country in a record Of cumulative disas-
ter. AS predicted by the advocates of
free trade, the importations of foreign
wool have greatly increased, but Ameri-
can manufacturers have not been bene-
flied, American wool growers have
suffered heavy losses, the sheep industry
in the United States has been almost
ruined, and there is no compromising
benefit in any direction. During the
first year of the operation of the present
tariff American manufacturers lost over
$42. 000, 900 worth of the home trade and
American wool growers lost the sale of
over 125, O0O, 900 pounds of wool The sue
ceeding years have been nearly as bad.
When it is remembered that all the en-
ployment for factory hands, the wages
for farm labor and the profits for Amer
lean manufacturers and farmers thus
taken away are given to foreigners, one
gets a new conception of the meaning of
the phrase "a measure of perfidy and
diShOnOr."
