is CRIME DECREASING7
English Observers say There Is a Change

English Observers say There Is a Change
for the Better.
There prevails a comforting belief
that the standing army of crime is stead
lily diminishing, and that, with the aid
of school boards and reformatories, we
ere making sure if slow progress in
combating the enemies of society who
fill our jails. Mr.. Douglass Morrison,
in a paper read the other day before
the Statistical society, tells us that this
belief rests on no solid foundation, and
that when the facts are analysed it be-
comes highly doubtful whether there
has been more than a nominal decrease
of crime. There is no doubt that the
figures generally quoted in support of
the view which everyone would fain be-
lieve do not substantiate it. The eSpla-
nation of many of the facts which seem
at first sight to justify optimism and
INSTRUMENTATION lies in a movement
which influences, consciously or uncon-
sciously, all persons administering the
criminal law-the growth of feeling
of distrust of the efficacy of severe sem
fences and of a conviction as to their
mischievousness in many cases, and pity
and tenderness toward a large class of
criminals of the victims of circum-

stances.
1t has been said that Victor Hugos
picture of Jean Vatican, the outcast
with noble instincts, who tries again
and again to extricate himself from
coil of misfortunes, and who again and
again succumbs in the struggle, pro-
foundry influenced the administration
of the French criminal law, and for
many years that spirit of pity and toll
GRAFTON which the French poet depict
ed in LES Miserables" has been every
where in the air, and nowhere more
than here. 1t is therefore right to eau
ton the public against confounding
the diminution in the number Of Of
tenders detained in prison in conse-
quence of wise mitigation of the Sc
verify of the criminal law with corre-
spending decrease in the amount OF
crime. 1t is just possible, however, that
in avoiding one extreme Mr.. Morrison
has pushed his point too far, and has
given countenance to a despondent view
as little justified as the optimism which
he condemns. In interpreting the only
available figures the increased vigilance
of the police is an element scarcely to
he overrated. A scarcely less impor-
tant element is that of publicity. Every
offense is noted. The chances of detec-
ton are probably greatly increased in
these days, when every household be-
comes aware of the person wanted"
for any crime of magnitude. To know
that crime generally is increasing is to
know very little. 1t may mean no more
than that certain offenses against police
regulations have increased or dimin-
ished. The morality of the country
may be steadily rising though the con-
victions for breaches of the education
acts are increasing.
There is a sensible diminution of GER
tain offenses most indicative of Ii
centious spirit. Property is respected
more than it was; and some crimes con-
nected Herewith and productive of
others-for example, receiving stolen
goods in some towns-bid fair to disap-
pear. On the other hand, there is no
sign of reduction in certain other
crimes which appear to come in the
train of material prosperity, The re-
port we get is both of good and of evil.
Of the real causes of crime and of the
extent to which it can be prevented by
practicable measures Mr.. Morrison's
figures tell one little that is posi-
tive. More than 1900 years ago Eurtp-
ides expounded the theory of the Grim
incline under which Lombroso, Mayo
and Ferri have lately labored. The
Greek writer puts into the mouth of one
Of his characters the reflection that,
whereas land naturally barren may
yield a good harvest If the season be
good, and fertile land be sterile if the
season be unkindly, men are always
what they are; the good always good,
even in the pinch of hard circum-
stances, the bad always had-the GRIM
incline certain to be in the dock, how
ever carefully the chaplain and the
philanthropist look after him. What
truth there is in this view, how far the
standing army of crime consists of this
dement,, how far of people not much
worse disposed but less lucky than 9TH
ers, statisticians do not tell us-per-
haps they never will. But in that direc-
ton lies the interest of the present and
still more, that of the future.

The maddest woman IN Nogales is q
married lady, who, on a recent night
sat up until one o'clock waiting for her
husband to come home from lodge. OF
no, she wouldn't do a thing to him ].
Finally, utterly worn out by long vigil
she went to her room to turn in and
found her missing husband in bed fast
asleep, where he had gone Immediately
after supper, instead of going to lodge.

that she can't get in the right position

Advices from La Paz, on the west
shore of the gulf, south from Guaymas.
convey the intelligence that some time
ago pearl diver discovered gold lode
at a point on the coast which is direct
ly east from La Psz, the trend of the
coast there being for way northeast
erly, and then turning south again. He
secured an arastra and mule and i'm
mediately went to grinding geld out of
the rock. The first intimation that he
had something good was when he took
about ten ounces of gold into La Paz
and sold it. He piioted several to the
scene of his find, and they reported
that it is big thing. The property is
only seven hundred feet from the tide
water, and consists o4 an immense
ledge, more than 800 feet in width It
is all free milling gold ore and will run
four or five dollars TO the ton. On the
ledge are a number of veins of rock
which yield twelve to twenty eight dol
lars per ton. Over one hundred and
fifty tests gave these results. Seventy
claims were staked out and located.
Among those interested is Mr.. Richard

The names of the men are supposed to
be James Shea and James Rogers. A
man named Mcguire was with them
when last seen. The report has it that

miles from the river, lying beside the
dead body Of Shea. He took Rogers to
the river, but he was past recovery and
died soon afterward. Mcguire made his
way to the river and is all right. The
men had been drinking heavily before
leaving the Hills and were unaequaint-
ed with desert country. The desert
between White Hills and Bonelll's fer
ry is one of the worst in Arizona and

Peter sits at the heavenly gate, his
hands on the string of the Tyre, and
sings low song as he patiently waits
for the souls Of those who expire He
hears in the distance chorus Of songs
swell from the foot of the heavenly
throne, and he smiles as the music is
waited along, and he warbles lay of
his own: "There is room in this region
for millions Of souls, who by sorrow
and woe were bereft; It's for those who
have suffered the melody rolls, but the
kicker must turn to the left. There is
room for the people who, when they
were young persisted in sowing wild
oats, yet doomed up their town with
sinew and tongue, but the kickers must
go with the goats. There is room for
the people who point with pride to the
beauty and growth of their town, who
kept singing their praises aloud till
they died, but the kicker will please
amble down. They'd say that the mlu-
sic was all out OF tune and the angelic
gown hand medown,' and they'd send
for jeweler up in the moon to sample
the gold in their crown. So while there
is room for million Of souls, who by
sorro CIV and woe were bereft, we want
no complaint of the music that rolls,
SO the kicker must turn to the left"

Two prospectors are washing out gold
from the sands of the Big Horn river
by an ingenious process. The sand IS
shoveled into large box into which
water is pumped with an old-fashioned
hand-pump. The dirt then runs over
set of rifles and goes into another
box in which an old piece of carpet is
stretched. The wash passes over this
carpet, which arrests the fine particles
of gold. The carpet is then shaken and
washed, quicksilver added, andAthe re-
sulting mass is washed. This takes out
the quicksilver and leaves the gold
dust. The dust is very fine and could
not be saved with the ordinary appa-
ratus. The men disposed of several
ounces of the dust here in order to
purchase supplies and will work all the
bars Of the river. They are msking
