WHY CRIME INCREASES.

Methods OF Punishment Net Deter
rent, and Penalties Too Uncertain.
Some unpleasant facts in regard to
the increase in crime in the United
States and some of the causes which
have produced it were recently laid be-
fore the social science department OF
the Philadelphia Civic club by Gen.
Isaac j. Wistar. Passing over the sta
tistics, which We're not new, Gen. WIS
tar's views as to the causes Of the in
crease of crime may be briefly sum-
married.. One of these causes, in his
opinion, is that the methods of pun
ishment are not deterrent. He assert
ed, on the authority of The Pennsylva-
ria board of charities, that many Of the
67 iails in that state are nests Of crime,
maintained for the pecuniary benefit
Of county politicians, where the sher-
if is the boss politician. In some of
these iails, he said, indecent pictures
are hung on the walls, and the prison
ers ere supplied with cards SO that
they may spend their evenings pleas
antly. A prison, Gen. Wistar contin-
ued, should be a place OF punishment,
and above all place where the pris-
oner cannot be further contaminated.
To this end separate confinement he
regards as necessary, and he is not
shaken in this view by the claim that
separate confinement largely increases
cases of insanity. There is no more in
sanity inside a prison than outside
among the same classes, Gen. Wistar
maintains, and much of it in the prisons
is feigned to furnish greater opportuni-
ties for escape.
Another cause of the increase OF
.ctime, in Gen. Wistar's opinion, is the
delay and the uncertainty in punish
1ncnt. For this criminal Jurisprudence
is ;at fault. The appellate courts, he
says, appear to devote themselves, not
to the trial of the criminal, but to the
trial of the judge that convicted him.
in the hope that they can prove their
astuteness by showing that he COM
nitted some error. In some extreme
cases new trials have been granted be-
cause of misspelled words in the legal
documents. One way to reform this.
suggested by Gen. Wistar. is to deny
the right of appeal in criminal cases.
This, he claims, would not be a hard
ship, inasmuch as the criminal has four
trials, the first before magistrate, tho
second before the grand jury, the third
and the fourth Ia retriaD before the
higher criminal court. Other remedies
are suggested by the causes that show
their need. Still another advance
would be the reorganization of the
prison system on the English plan, by
which in Great Britain the number of
criminals has been reduced 81 per cent.
in 20 years. Gen. Wistar did not be-
lieve the people here were worse than
in England, and there was no reason
10 believe that remedial measures which
arc successful In Great Britain would
not be successful here.-N. Y. Post.

CHRISTMAS STORIES,
They May Not BE Art, But Their In
0uence Ia Good.

It is quite the custom nowadays,
among those who pose as beirg cult
vated and critical, to express profound
contempt for many things we have
been in the habit OF enjoying. Among
these in the Christmas story. which
seems in fair way cf being ridiculed
off the face of the earth. Critics have
assailed it from every point of view, de-
claring that it was monstrosity and
an offense in the sight of art, ard an
abomina:ion in literature. Rules and
recipes have been given by which the
most inexperienced could not fail to
compound Christmas story that would
be as orthodox as the traditional plum
pudding. 1t is only necessary TO take
a cold and bitter night, garret with
the wind whistling through the holes
in the wall, and within a woman, with
starving children clinging to her
skirts. 1t is the night before Christ
mas, and the little ones ask ritifully
# Santa Claus will come. The mother
makes an evasive reply, and tucks them
at last in bed and takes off her poor
shawl to cover them more warmly. She
sits down by a freless hearth, and scbs.
'"Alas, my poor Reginald; had you not
perished in the K,ondike, We would not
now be starving" There is knock
at the door, and enters bearded man.
1t is the long-lost Reginald, with 81 600,
oo0 of gold dust in each pocket. A de-
lightful SEQUEL of plum pudding, turkey
and general rejoicing follows. Or else
the story may be the veracicus and
probable narrative Of the wayward son
who has ruined his father and broken
his mothers heart by lis wild life
Again it is Christmas eve, and he sits
carousinr in the saloon. Fe lifts the
glass of liquor to his lips, but, hark,
what sound is that? tits the Christmas
hymn the Salvation Army is singing IN
The street. 1t reminds the young des-
pendo of home and mother. He sets
down the glass, wipes his eyes on the
butt of his revolver, ard starts home
on new rendition OF the prodigal son
act. Of course, all of us have read these
stories over thousand times, but what
of that? Does the great Christmas
story Of all-the Divine story-ever
grow old and tiresome with repeating?
There have been many Christmases
since the first Christmas star shore
above a baby's rude cradle, but the
Christmas spirit and the Christmas
cheer are just as true and just as real
now as they ever were. We like To
think that at such time hard hearts
are touched with unaccustomed ten
derness, that stingy hands relax their
closeness and give to some less fort,1-
nate, that wanderers on land and sea
turn, in memory, at least, to the old
home where they were children, and
that at Christmas some thought of in
nocenee, some tear of repentance ard
regret must come to the hardened ard
degraded. 1t is this thought of Christ
mas that runs Through the ho1aely ard
familiar little Christmas story, and
we are better for it. We can dowithout
finely critical essays, and orchids. but
leave us at Christmas time the Christ
mas story, and the holly and the mirth
and cheer and sympathy that never
grow old or out of dhte.-N. o. Pica-

ENGLISH WARSHIPS MOVE,

VERONA, B. O., Oct. 3i,--Commo-
tion prevails at Esquimault and in the
clubs Of the city frequented by naval
men. Admiral Palliser Is said TO have
received long cipher message in
the admiralty and Immediately her
majesty's ship Amphion, the fastest
cruiser on the station, was ordered to
prepare for sea. She will sail at once
for Coquimbo TO meet her sister ship,
Phaeton, and from there the two will
proceed to Tahiti, the French settle
ment OF the Society islands.
The flagship Imperieuse, which has
just returned from ComoX, is also coal
ing, and the Leander has been ordered
TO also return from Comox to prepare
for any move that may be decided
upon. The other ships here are the
Dirigo, Sparrowhawk and Icarus. The
opinion among naval men is that Eng
land is dispatching fleets from Halifax
to the West Indies and from Esqui-
mault to Tahiti to show the French
how utterly her colonies would be ct
the mercy of the British should she
make any warlike movements.

towns OF the island to consider and
draft recommendations regarding the
necessities OF the island for the use Of
the special commissioners who will be
selected later to represent Porto Rico
at Washington, when the time comes
for settling the administrative system.
The assembly was fairly representa-
tive, and although the proceedings
gave undue prominence to unimpor-
tant details, there was abundant evil
dence Of intelligent reflection on the
part of the delegates, and OF deter
mination not to tolerate partisan poll
tics at this crisis in the islands af-
fairs.
Carefully prepared reports were sub
mitted by the political, social and
economical committees,
The meeting received with enthu-
siasm the resolutions demanding the
territorial rights, the cessation Of tho
present military rule and the installa-
ton Of regular civil government.

been so few, considering the great re-

with gratitude and praise to the Lord
Of Hosts. We may laud and magnify
His holy name that tho cessation OF
hostilities came 30 soon rs TO spare
both sides the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
| do, therefore, invite all my fellow
