to a friend. whose conscience has proved
unequal to the strain and whose disclosure
betrayed the criminal to the police. Thorn
illustrates a type of criminality that is
commonly met with. His abnormal mind
is keen to certain point The murderous
instinct, which undoubtedly existed, carried
with it in him the ability to plot shrewdly
for concealment but its very abnormality
caused the unadjusted brain to leave I'M
done the things that the normal mind
would have foreseen to be absolutely neces-
sary for success. This. perhaps. is the rea
son why SO small percentage of crimes
remain uncovered. 1t Is fortunate for So
ciety that the equation SO to speak, pre-
walls. 1t is interesting to learn from
prominent German educator of the me-
tropolis that Thorn came from a section
of Germany that is famous for producing
criminals. and particularly of the blood
thirsty type to which Thorn evidently be-
longs. This centers in the hamlet of Bud
gin. in Posen, in the northeastern part of
the empire. The country is cut up by
small stagnant streams tributary to the
Nistula that give the atmosphere a most
unWholeSome character. The dwellers in
this region are called Water Poles, and are
known as about the toughest folks in Eu-
rope. The men, it is said, are largely char
acterized by low cunning, treachery and
deception. 1t seems that Thorns crime
is singularly like several that have teen
committed in Posen within a few decades.

banner are this year to be found there.
The sound money men on the other, hand
are full of fight. The republicans are get
ting in good trim, and the gold democrats,
so far from changing base as the result of
a protection tariff bill, are preparing to
oppose silver as strongly this year as they
did last. In Ohio, in Iowa. in Kentucky, in
Maryland, and in New York, democrats
who last year refused to support the policy
of free coinage will this year as firmly
take the same stand. Instead of a walk
over, therefore, upon which a few months
ago so many silver men were counting, the
Bryanites see before them a contest
altogether worthy of the issue.
The country is to be congratulated on
this change in the situation. 1t means
that as long as free silver remains a
menace, the forces which last year rallied
to defeat it will keep the field, and may be
relied upon to cooperate again when the
emergency arises to protect the credit of
the government. The gold democrats are
not going to return to what the Bryan
democrats call the fold" In fact they
insist that they never have left the fold
but are today the custodians of the only
political faith which truly may be called
democratic. So that, with this division
among the democrats widening and harden
irg, and the populists in revolt against
democratic dictation, the republicans and
the sound money democrats have but to
stand together and be active to administer
TO free silver another singing knock-down.
