THE WAVE OF CRIME.

There seems to be a wave Of
crime passing over the country.
Not a day passes without its
criminal tragedies, and the crime
of murder in this country is
reaching appalling figures. There
we're 10. $50 murders in the
United States last year, While in
England and Wales the Registrar
Generals report shows that there
were only 1863 murders year be
fore last-an average criminal
year.
What a tremendous disparity
is presented between the two
nations in these startling figures.
Discussing the theory that crimes
are induced by the hot weather,
the Boston Globe says "a hot
wave generally proves to be, in
a way, a crime wave, and an out
of season hot wave all the more
SO, especially at times when
malaria is prevalent to intensity
disturbances of peculiarly con-
stituted heads. But there is
something far greater in its ms
fuence in the matter of current
crime than the hot wave. 1t is
the lack of prompt, certain and
condign punishment according
to due form of law for the
guilty"
The recent trial and execution
of the assassin Of Canovas shows
the difference between the ad.
ministration Of law in Europe
and in this country. Had that as
sassination taken place in this
country it would. have been
months before the trial, and then
days and weeks would have been
expended in the testimony Of ex-
perts in insanity, ard on various
other topics. Ia Great Britain
and Wales, with 80, 900, 900 popu-
lation, there were 1863 murders,
and in the United States, With
rs. 900, 900 population, there were
10, 562. The Globe may well de-
clare that figures like these mean
something" They mean that
there is a great deterrent to
crime in the wise aud wholesome
administration of justice. The
laws needless delays. the ease
with which criminals are released
on mere technicalities, the tens
dency toward morbid sympathy
for thugs and murderers -these
things must be reformed altos
gether before this country can
/ repel the rising crime waves of
our time.

Kidnapping is a comparatively
new crime in this country, the
Charlie Ross case furnishing for
more than a score of years the
single example Of successful kid
mapping known in the annals of
American criminology. The at

AMERICAN SHOES r

A0V$
creased so rapidly as it did under
the operation of the Wilson tariff.
Our manufacturers, by reason of
the reduced taxation on some of
the raw materials they use and the
free admission of others, were
placed in a better position to COM
pete with their foreign rivals.
They entered markets where their
wares had never gone before and
built up large business in the very
countries which we are told must
be protected against.
American carpets we're sold in
Bradford, the principal scat of the
British carpet industry.
Steel rails and other forms of
steel were shipped from our fur
naces TO Birmingham and other
English markets.
None of the Industries of the
United States made more rapid
advances in foreign markets than
our shoe manufactures.
1t was demonstrated that the
best shoes in the world are made
in this country and that a good
American shoe can be sold cheaper
in England or Germany than shoes
of inferior quality made in those
countries.
Consul General Mason, at
Frankfort, in a recent report to
the state Department, says:
American shoes, notwith-
standing all doubts and a certain
timidity on the part of American
exporters, r steadily finding
their way to Germany, generally
by way of London or Paris. and
r meeting ready sales, There
are now two stores at Frankfort
and three at Wiesbaden, in this
dittrict, where American made
shoes are kept, but as yet IN
small assortments and limited
quantities. The same situation is
reported from Berlin, Hamburg,
Dresden and other leading Ger
man cities. From all that ap
pears, the prices charged are in
ordinately high in comparison
with the retail values of similar
shoes in America, and the grades
offered are not above medium or
common. The statement is here
reiterated, upon the judgment of
competent experts, that in every
important German city or large
town there could be established
with practical certainty of sues
cess an American shoe store.
which should sell at wholesale
and retail the product of firms of
acknowledged pre-eminence,
whose names stand for a recog.-
nized quality in the shoe trade"
The business to which Consul
General Mason refers was built
up while the Wilson tariff was in
force. It remains to be seen what
effect the Dingley tariff will have
upon it, though that effect can
hardly be favorable.
The present tariff has given
great offense to several foreign
countries, and to none mere than
to Germany. 1t is possible that
our shoe manufacturers may find
their enterprises in that country
seriously hampered if not entire
~ thwarted by retaliatory legis-
lation. Another difficulty in their
way is the tax on hides which
was placed in the Dingley bill at
the command of the Cattle
Trust, aud in compensation for
the TRUSTS liberal contribution
to the Republican party's corr
ruption fund in the last cams
paign.
The logical effect of the Ding.
ley bill will be to discourage the
extension of our foreign trade,
which for several years past has
progressed so notably.

Affirmative action was taken on Mr.

THIRD BRIGADE WILL GO.
Major Miliar Reads Between the
Eincs-.Gcu. GObin,s Interview.


Despite the dispatches of yesterday
indicating the contrary, the Thirteenth
Regiment is going to the inaugura-
ton. Major w. S. Millar, brigade in
spector who Is in close touch with
headquarters, said yesterday that while
General Goblin is opposed to his brig
ade going to Washington to encounter
the unhospitable and it might be said
harsh treatment they invariably re-
ceive there, he would not want to do
anything to prevent his command from
attending if such is their wish. He
simply wants to place himself on record
as personally not favoring the attend
ance of his men unless they are as
sured they will receive better treat
ment than they have been wont to
receive.
The fact that the First and Second
brigade have been ordered out is proof
enough says Major Millar, that the
Third will also attend, for the Pennsyl-
vania guard without the Third brigade
wouldn't be the Pennsylvania guard at
all. Colonel Coursen's trip to wash
ington to secure quarters for the Thir-
teenth is additional evidence that the
Third will be in line or at all events
that the Thirteenth will go.
Major Milalr has received orders to
report at Harrisburg to accompany
headquarters to the Inauguration.

AN ELECTRICAL MELODRAMA.
Presented Before II Fair Sized Audi
ence at the ErOthinyham

SHAFT No. 2" pleased a fair sized au-
dience at the rockingham theater last
night. 1t is a melodrama in Which
electricity figures prominently. In the
second act there is a very striking and
we'll staged scene representing the bot
tom of Shaft No. ., where an explosion
takes Ilace.
Act third has the greatest electrical
storm scene ever staged in this city
while the fourth represents a room in
Ridley prison with the electric chair
ready to send the hero of the drama on
a long journey. A reprieve arrives as
the current is about to be turned or
and the journey is indefinitely post
poned. In the fifth act all things are
righted as they should be in a well con-
structed melodrama.
An excellent cast interpreted the va.
rious roles of the drama.
