The problem of maintaining law and
order in the rural towns of Massachusetts
is one to which the Springfield Repub-
lean continues to give Il great deal of
attention. The conditions, which have
grown out of the changes in the quality
of the population of the towns, are such
that the Republican urges a plan by the
adoption of which local effort, which has
been shown to be inadequate, can be sup
plemented by state aid.
The scheme will at once arouse the cry
that state Inference in local affairs, as
proposed or adopted in Boston, Fall
River and HolyOke, has not met with
unanimous favor. The reply is that no
interference is intended, but simply a CO.
operation among local, county and state
officers, in order that offenders may be
promptly apprehended. The town con-
stable is no longer feared. He has be-
come in most instances ai"good fellow
as men are popularity called who are well
known,among those who gather at the
town stores, and whose votes keep him
in power. For reasons which are obvious
to all he is not terror to evil-doers and
cannot often do much to restrain the
petty offenders who, because of persistent
Indulgence in vice without check, rapidly
grow in many cases into hardened and
almost incorrigible criminals.
If the agitation in which the Repub-
lican is leading results in no definite sys-
TEN for the strengthening of the police
in towns, it will be advantageous in one
way. 1t will open the eyes of many to
the changes which have come upon the
New England village, once almost as
free from crime as communities of any
kind possibly could be. The migration
of many old families to the cities and the
innuN of irresponsible foreigners are the
causes which account for the present
state of affairs. 1t is a pity that the
transformation had 10 take place, but it
is not helpful to waste time in idle regret.
The solution of the problem of preserving
order in the small towns merits quite as
much attention as the similar problem
for cities, though at present it does not
receive it.-BOstOn journal.

them have can be performed indiilerently
by one or another part of the organism.
Some creatures undoubtedly see, hear
and feel to a certain extent all over their
bodies, and If cut in two will see, hear
and feel equally well. The protozoon
that simply sinks its food into the ma
terial of its own body needs no stomach.
1t can turn its exceedingly adaptable
flesh into any organ of which it stands
in need. The lobster cannot turn him
self inside out and use his skin for
stomach at pleasure, but he will grow
new claw when he needs one. Man has
settled down into a stereotyped notion
of his organs, and taken it for granted
that with the peculiar perfection of some
of them went necessary inability of
any others to do their work. When de-
prived of organs that are not essential to
life he gets onj without having their
work done. When deprived of an or
gan which ordinarily performs functions
essential to life he dies. That is what
the Swiss woman might have been ex-
pected to do. But instead of making
god of her stomach, SO to speak, she is
by turning other parts of her body to do
the necessary work that the stomach
was expected to do.
DR.. Schlatter's achievement is wonder
full as a surgical triumph, but it is more
wonderful in that it extends a trine the
domination of man over his own body.
Blind men have compensated themselves
for loss of sight by specially acute hear
ing. Some invalids deprived of almost
all bodily senses have developed tele-
p9thic susceptbilites. The work of one
kidney or one lung has been thrown
upon the remaining organ and the skin.
But never before was there reason to
believe that an essential vital function
could proceed absolutely Independent
of the organ calculated to perform it,
The intestines in this case have assumed
the whole burden of digestion. The
result of previous case, which did not
involve the removal of the entire
stomach, suggests the possibility of a
future enlargement of the digestive tract
to form a food pouch, and replace in
some degree at least the missing organ.
Such an incident tempts to speculation
on the possibility of adaptation to fill
the want of other vital organs. OF
course, there must be a limit some
where, but medicine and surgery are
constantly pushing it further back.
How much further it may be pushed
nobody can say. and probably the great
surgeons would be the first to doubt
there being any great possibility in this
direction, and would devote most of
their energies to the prevention and cure
of the diseases which ruin the organs
rather than to the discovery of ways to
get on without them. But the proof
tina sometimes we can get on without
them gives new force and meaning to
the idea that man is more than his body.

J he North American Review for De-
cember contains an article by Prof.
Lombroso, the eminent criminologst,
under the heading, "Why Homicide
Has Increased in the United States"
which seems to us to shatter at the very
beginning his theory, which is the
generally accepted one, that 1.-THE statis
tics of homicide are a sure guide to
peoples state of culture, which increases
with increased wealth, greater density
of population and diminished illiteracy."
He starts with the following table,
which he says is an authentic showing
of the relative proportion of homicides
in the countries named: Italy, 90 per
100000 inhabitants Spain, IS per l0O,-
900 inhabitants; Portugal, % per l00,-
900 inhabitants; Hungary, 10 per l0O,-
600 inhabitants; Austria, % per 900
inhabitants; Sweden and Norway, ID
per 100000 inhabitants; France and
Belgium, Is per 100000 inhabitants :;
Germany, per 100000 inhabitants En-.
gland, per 100000 inhabitants.
In all these countries it is asserted
that homicides are steadily decreasing
in number; but in the United States
there is an appalling increase. Accord
ing to the most reliable statistics
on the subject there were in this
country in 1850 four thousand six hun
dred arrests for the crime of homicide,
while in 1890 there were 900, an increase
of 60 per cent, while the population has
increased but % per cent; and since
1890 the growth of the crime has been
steady and rapid 1t is also said that
while the colored people are but u per
cent of our population 40 per cent of
our hOmicides occur among them; or,
stated in another way, that while there
are but eight homcides to 100000 popu-
lation among the whites, there are f. to
100000 among the blacks.
1t occurs at once to the student of
these figures that the people of Portugal
are not twice as cultured, as wealthy or
as citilled as those of Spain; that those
of England are not three times as well
educated or as prosperous as those of
France, and that our coloTed population
is not more illiterate, more lacking in
property or more widely scattered than
it was when the accepted statistics
showed much fewer hOmicides. So, as
we have said, the theory that homicides
decrease as people gather in cities, grow
rich and are educated has little to sup
port 1t in this exhibit. 1t is not the
illiterates, the paupers or the permanent
residents of sparsely settled places that
as rule kill their fellowmen, but the
tramps, the drunkards, the outlaws, the
men and women who have been edu-
Gated to hold life cheap, and those whom
greed. thirst for revenge, or wish to
conceal other crimes, makes reckless.

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOrrOw's Method of Curing Dis
eases Accusing the Interests OF
Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause OF nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly alb .orbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom
ach, various Impurities, which, If permitted
to course through the system, quickly render
the blood unfit TO carry on the process of
healthy nutrition and ultimately result in the
development of disease.
1t is the duty of the Kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irrcgulauty i'm the per
Torrance of this function is Immediately
manifested in a general weakening OF the
body; a tendency to give ont with IittIeexeI
ton. This symptom is closely followed by
others OF much more distressing nature which
it is often customary to attribute to other
causes.
aJohn Morrow, an eminent chemist OF
Springfield Ohio, using as basis tor his
work the theory that the kineys are respon
siOle for the condition OF our health, has pro
duced new remedy which he has named
Morrow kidneOids, the purpose OF which i,
to act directly on the kidneys, eliminating al
unnatural deposits and rectitying the damage
caused by their existence.
The remarkable results obtained by thi,
medicine have attracted wide attention anC
established new method of treating disease
the efficacy OF which cannot be disputed.

DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED.
There Ia Considerable Between the
Gases from Anthracite and
Bituminous Coal.

Prof. Ihlseng. of the state college,
Pennsylvania, gives an interesting en-
PLANTATION of the difference between
anthracite and bituminous coal, so far
as the gases are concerned. his opinion
being based on the supposition of all
coal beds having been originally
formed on a horizontal or fat bed.
The anthracite beds, he assumes. were
placed under enormous pressure. or
side pressure, by the contraction of
the earth's crust during the cooling
stage, thus forming the coal basins as
now seen at the foot of the mountains;
such an enormous pressure resulted in
forcing the explosive and other gases
out Of the anthracite beds to the ssairl,
and crevices of the veins and to The
assures, seams and pores of the rock
strata. This compression has been so
great that gases in the anthracite re-
gion are sometimes found with the
mighty pressure Of 1900 pounds o the
square inch. On the other hanu, the
bituminous beds have not been sub
jected to such disturbance and pres
sure, and the coal, therefore, retains
the gases which it contained original
