We print on the Sd page the prison and
Jail statistics for the past year, and they
show that crime is not particularly
rampant in Maine. The number of con-
victs in the State prison is only 165 and
tina is not a large proportion in total
population of go, 000-only about one in
each 1850. Grimes against property
continue to exceed those against the per-
son, while in jail commitments drunken
ness and offences against the liquor law
a1e far in the lead. Out of the 6, 1O5 Jail
prisoners during the year 3,049 were
committed for drunkenness, /, 1888 for non
payment of fines and 179 for selling in
toxicants. This shows that more liquor
is yet consumed in Maine than is good for
the public health. The tramp law does
not appear to terrify the wandering gentry
to any great extent, for 773 of them got
into Jail and if all had been arrested there
would not have been room for the m in the
