Manslaughter in this country has in
creased from LAS in 1886 to more than
l4,O00 in 1896, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. Italy has long been considered
the NEST homicidal of nations, but We
surpass her more than ten times over,
and more than five times in proportion
to population. Our increase in this one
crime has been 100 per cent per an
mum, or 1000 per cent in ten years.
This is not all-other crimes against
persons and property are similarly in
creasing. Convictions for crime are
not keeping up with the CHASTITY pro.
cession. There are two reasonable ex-
plantations of this disagreeable fact:
As people we are becoming altogeth-
or too clamoTous for personal liberty"
and hence tolerate, and often champion
customs and institutions that breed
crime. Also, our courts have ceased
to be a terror to evil doors. The en-
tire legal fraternity, from the highest
Judge to the most contemplate petit
sogger, unite in their devotion to alb
surd formalities and obsolete prece-
dents which multiply indefinitely the
chances of the guilty to escape punish
ment. The proof of guilt may be new
er so absolute, yet unless all the musty
formalities be fully complied with, no
final conviction can be had. Thus the
law has become thing for public con-
tempt, and inspires but little fear on
the part of the criminally inclined.
There ia another cause which no doubt
operates to a considerable extent to in
crease crime. Poverty has always been
a contributary factor in criminal an
nails. This poverty may be real. or
merely comparative-the result is the
same. Unless an unexpected reform
shall soon be an accomplished fact, the
result in the near future is fearful to
contemplate.

Fourth OF July Of that year the Soci-
city of the Cincinnati, which still had in
its membership men who had fought in
the Revolution, met in the state house
and adopted measures necessary TO set
on foot the erection of monument
which should fittingly commemorate
the character and virtues of the Faith
er Of his Country.
The entire height of the monument
is A feet. The ground plan of the
platform is 81 by "a feet, and the pedes-
tai II by 80 feet. The monument as a
whole presents most pleasing AMI
elegant appearance. and is not only an
embellishment TO the historic ground
where 1t stands. but also valuable
addition to the artistic statuary of
Philadelphia's city parks. Prof Ru-
dolph Siemoring, the artist who de-
signed the monument. is a celebrated
sculptor OF Berlin.

The South Australian farmers, who
hold nearly all the wheat of South
Australian growth. feel very confident
as to the future. because the quantity
of wheat cleaned up was not as much
as the size of the heaps led them to
expect, and their statements quite con-
firm the figures that the yield Of the
harvest will be 100000 bushels less
than requirements. Consequently this
quantity, which means 1880 tons, will
have to be imported to supply
the necessities of our own colony. and,
that being the case, it is not likely
that we shall see lower prices for
some time TO come"

DwISDLING SPAIN.

It has come TO the surface that the
Spanish have been exchanging pris-
oners with the Cubans. and If this be
the case the claim OF the Spanish gov
eminent that it's contest is one for the
overthrow OF a band OF rioters
vanishes into thin air at once. To eX-
change prisoners of war is n function
of war, n complete recognition of the
militant footing OF the enemy. and
thus disappears one more reason,
urged by the home government, why
the United States should not give the
Cubans full recognition. 1t is not to be
supposed from this, however. that
there are not others; FOR there
are, and additional to the ones
which have been in existence from

The objection may be made that they

that only n small number OF persons

How many persons usually determine
nominations in ward primary or

rule for group OF n very few fac

Emperor William III Is becoming or
has become somewhat vainglorious.
Some Of his utterances OF late have
shown n degree of vanity and quail
ity of bombast quite at variance with
the dignity that should surround and
emanate from one holding so lofty
station. More than this, he seems to
learn nothing and forget nothing. Some
of the verbal pyrotechics which
his majesty occasionally sets off
would cause the reader to understand
that the speaker was either purpose
" or ignorantly obllvlou3 to the great
truth so patent to observers and
thinkers that we are not living in the
midst of medieval customs but in an
age whose trend is steadily toward
popular and representative govern
ment.

responsibility TO people or parliaments,
only to God. It is gratifying to know
that he was willing to make go much
OF n concessions; as it Is It amounts
TO more than many who are not rulers

consideration the solemn fact that
parliaments are aggrcgations OF men
