Who the Wicked People Are.

M. Tarde, a French crimino.ogist, has
been studying the proportion of sinners
among persons of the various industrial
vacations and the professions in his
country. He compares them in this
way: Taking 10000 of the population
as he finds them, he selects from them
the criminals in each trade and profes.
sion. according to the records kept liz
French prisons.
His investigations lead him to make
the generalization that workmen with
their n are much less often crimi.
nais than those who make their Twins
with their brains, or alleged brains
Among professional men the worst OF
all are artists. the best of all clergy.
men. But this cynical NJ. Tarde attrib.
utes it rather to the circumstances OF
the lives Of men of the two classes. The
clergy are removed from temptation. II
is a large part OF their stock in trade
to pose as perfectly v%irtuous: therefore
they are mostly %virtuous. When they
do commit q crime against the laY;s>ji,
is apt to be in the way Of embe
moneys Artists have no res
thrown around them and every tefapf4y
ton to be bad; therefore they are bad.
In every 10000 persons there are 44t
wicked artists and only seventy-one
wicked priests.
II Is with profound regret we record
that next to the artists in the ranks o.
criminals come writer's, particularly
newspaper men. There are 4O2 criminal:
writer's to every 10000. and their beset.
ing sin is blackmail, more shame to
them. We beg to remind our readers,
however, this is in France. Journalists
In America are good men.
In the 10000 people there are only 1ss
physicians who are criminals. Finally.
the most moral and law abiding class o.
all is the artisans, the humble workers
with their hands. The criminals anon
them arc only three-ffths as many as
are found in the professions.

Gold IN the hook Trade.

It will be a surprise to many persons tc
learn tina thousands of dollars worth OF
gold annually vanishes in the manufacture
of books. The lettering on the backs OF
the volumes that are found in almost ev-
cry house depends on the kInd of book.
Cheap books are lettered with a cheaE
Dronzing. but the better class of volumes
issued by reputable publishers are lettered
with nothing but gold leaf Of good quail
lily, and this. once placed upon the backs
OF volumes, becomes a loss-that is, SO far
as. concerns the worlds stock. A large
publishing house will use from 81. 900 to
t3,0cO worth of gold leaf every year In this
way, not a grain being ever recovered. OF
course Il the 10000 or $4,000 volumes on
which this gold Is placed should be col.
lected and their backs torn of and burned.
IL this case, 20 thin Is the leaf and SO light
that most OF 1t would pass OFF with fha
smoke and be lost. The leaf is beaten I'd
such. an Incredible thinness that even a
lavish display. OF lettering on the back OF q
handsome volume may not involve the
use. OF more than 5 or 4 cents worth OF
gold, but every year there are between
LOCO and 6,JO0 books issued in this country.
tne number OF copies probably far exceed.
ms 10000. 80 that the absorption of gold
by the publishers forms a considerable
sum. The toy makers must not. In this
connection. be forgotten. There are a good
and not q few OF the toys made for their
use have, here and there. a bit of gliding.
It may. be only a line around the edge, like
that which surrounds the doll sets OF Guns
And eaucers. but Il II gold, and, once laid
on that gold Is lost.

A FIGHT FOR SCHOOL LAND
Settlers Doubtful About Holding
Their Entries.
Government Will Try to yacate the
Lands--lkyie's Trainer Expects
an Easy Contest---Uni-
versity Notes.

Chamberlain, Dec. 22.-Strife is i'm
pending between the state of South Da-
kota and the government because the
register and receiver OF the United
States land office in this city permitted
two settlers to make homestead entries
on lands in Gregory county which are
included within the boundaries of schoo
sections. Although these lands were
opened for settlement in 1890, entries
were not received until the Nth inst.
owing to delay in surveying the land. A
few days after the date set for receiv-
Ing entries j. l.. Lockhart, commission
er of school and public lands, warned
the local officers not to permit filings on
the school sections and called attention
to an act of congress dated March 2,
1889, the act opening the Sioux reserva-
ton to settlement) which provides that
sections IL and So of each township shall
be reserved for school purposes. The
lands in Gregory county were formerly
included in the Sioux reservation. In
justilcat hon of their action in permit
ting the two entries the local officers
call attention to an act of congress dat
ed February %. 1891, which, among 9TH
er things, says that where settlements
with a view to presumption or home
stead have been made before the survey
of the lands, which are found to have
been made on sections 16 and &c. those
sections shall be subject to the claims
Of such settlers. In the present case the
land in controversy was settled upon
immedia setJs after being opened to set
Element on February 10, 1890, although
it was not surveyed until about two
years ago. The settlers who located on
school sections had no means of know
ing they were on land that under cir
cumstances would clearly be school
land, and they will fight to retain it.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed for
Commissioner Leckhart to take action,
but it is thought likely that he will
strive with equal ardor to have the en-
tries of the two settlers Cancelled and
themselves and improvements removed
from the land. This is believed to be
the only case in the state where the cir
cumstances We're such as to permit
homestead entries on land which would
otherwise be reserved for school pur-
poses.
