tabulated statement the relative per-
centage of homicides in several coun-

of greater significance. when we con-
slider that while in all other civilized
countries homicides are yearly decreas-
ing in number, in America the con-
trary is the case, such crimes being
continually on the increase"
During the decade between 1880 and
1890. homicides in the United States in
creased sixty per cent while the popu-
lation advanced twenty-five per cent.
This remarkable increase he attributes
partly to racial and climatic conditions
and to the mixture in our populations
resulting from the immigration of Rus
slams, Hungarians, Italians and Poles,
important factors wherever they go in
increasing the volume of crime. But
what is more significant is Lombro-
sos assertion that while the colored
people are but twelve per cent. of the
population, they are chargeable with
forty per cent. of the homicides. From
official statistics he concludes that if it
were not for its negro population, the
crime of homicide would be almost as
rare in the United States as it is in the

Six Years Hence.

~ RIGINALLY. Montana came into
the United States by way of the
Louisiana purchase, so that this
state may feel an interest in the pro-
posed celebration of the centennial of
purchase day; this country paid ST.
100000 besides the spoiation claims for
the vast purchase. On December 90
1903. the formal transfer was made to
the United States and some attention
is paid to the date in New Orleans and
elsewhere
Six years hence will bring the CEN
tennial of this historic purchase-it has
been proposed that in honor of the
year the Mississippi region pre-
pare an exposition that will rival the
one held in Chicago In the Columbian
year This ambitious dream may never
be realized, yet the centennial may
properly command attention in useful
ways-it would be especially fitting
were ii made the occasion for the gath
ering of a mass of historical literature
relating to the region included in the
purchase.
A part of the province of Louisiana
has history nearly a century older
than that which relates to the settle
ment Of Virginia or New England. 1t
abounds in romance, it blends the sue
cessive dominion of Castilian French
man and Anglo-Saxon. and for the pur-
poses of literary research the field is
an inviting one.

friends of silver at the same time can
not set up the plea that Mr.. Gage, who

was a recognized leader Of the gold
forces before Mr.. Mckinley was elected
president. In his present sngle-stand-
ard policy he is not departing from the
programme TO which. VIGOROUSLY, he
has always been committed.
The secretarys most recent public
utterance is In evidence. He gave 10

The cause of free coinage has uniform
~ found its most telling leadership in
states that are not silver states. The
bulk OF the useful literature on the
question has been furnished from sec
tions where silver mines are unknown.
In the hard campaigning the silver
states have had only a small share.
Yet these silver states have the in
terest i'm the question that the entire
country has. plus a personal or selfish
interest represented in the mining in
dustry.
The western senators who have
sought to be on both sides have done
the silver cause more harm than good.
Some of them. like Warren, have sought
to shelter themselves under Wolcott' s
wing: their notion WAS that if Wolcott
could hoodwink his constituency they
could fool theirs. Until Wolcott re-
turned from Europe and saw how he
was being trifed With, these men

in glove with the administration.
What they were after was the control
of the patronage; they were serving
the silver cause in cheap interviews
about ten-dollar bimetallism-Carter
finally reduced his proposition to five
dollar restoration.
It's a caution to see these men try
to flop as quick as Wolcott fiops. In the
