A PLACE FOR REFORM.

The failure of the last legislature to
provide any appropriation for fourth
hospital for the insane has had one eX-
cellent result in turning the attention
of the general public and Of the au-
thoritieS to the impositions that are
practiced constantly upon the state and
county authorities. Investigation into
insane commitments now under way
by the state board of charities and cor
rections shows that a considerable num-
these institutions. There is constant
endeavor by states to shove their de-
pendent and criminal population eff
upon the care of others. The same i'm
pulse that leads man to escape per-
Torrance of a disagreeable duty if he
can is still more actively operative in
that impersonaI being called the pub
lie. Constant watching is required, as
we'll as the expenditure of large sum
of money, to return those not properly
chargeable upon us to the communities

care. Our own skirts are not clear, for
the same state of things exists between
counties as between states. The pau
per population is shifting constantly,
and thousands of dollars are spent an
nually by several counties in saving
themselves from being saddled with the
cost of supporting all the INDECENT Ct
their neighborS.
This is a criminal waste of money,
but we see no way in which to avoid
it while human nature remains what it
are convinced that it does not pay. To
bring this about, it will be economy to
spend more, rather than less money,
for the time being, in sitting the insane
and mendicant dependents of county
and state, and in enforcing vigorously
upon those responsible for them the
cost of their support. The lists should
be gone over with great thoroughness,
and every person who is now being
supported at the expense of Minnesota
for the benefit of some other state
should be sent where he belongs, and
the same rule should be enforced as
between the counties. We have no
doubt that this would result in large
saving to us in the end and it is GER
tainly necessary, unless we are to go
on increasing our accommodations for
the social incapables until they grow
so numerous that all the rest of the
community is engaged in laboring in
their behalf.

The Indiana legislature enacted a
law reducing ,the fares charged by

100000, to three cents. the rate being
five cents. There is but one city in
the stately Indianapolis that comes
within the operation Of this classif1ca-
ton 1t was against the street railway

CRIME AS A DISEASE.

Much has been written in regard to
crime and the treatment of criminals
so as to best protect society and check
the' evil tendencies of the viciOuSly in
clined. In tracing crime from cause
to effect there seems to be diversity
of opinion among writer's. A recent
writer states that illiteracy is the prin-
cipal cause of crime; another says it is
whisky; while yet another believes that
people are first led into crime through
the influences of evil companions. No
doubt these are all potent factors in
the making of criminals; but from per-
sonal observation l believe crime to be
a disease induced by habits of idleness.
A large percentage of the criminal
class are people who have no real oc-
cupation and wander hither and yon
over the country with but little to oc-
cupy their minds and nothing to look
forward to. Idleness becomes habit;
adversely breeds melancholy and they
gradually drift into crime. Perhaps
their first offense is some slight misde.
meanor for which they get sentence
of a few days in Jail, under the influ-
ences of which the mind becomes more
and more deranged through brooding
over his misfortunes and the convic.
