OUR TROOPS IN PHILIPPINES.
Senate Resolution Of Inquiry as 20
their True Condition.

Washington, May Ex-senator Ken
ney today presented a resolution in the
senate calling upon the secretary of
war for information upon the condi-
ton of military affairs in the Philip
pines. The call is based upon the
official statement that the insurrection
in the Philippines has been successful
iy suppressed and that preparations
are being made to return the troops
now serving in the islands to the
United States.
There are ten inquiries including the
following:
The number of American soldiers
who have become insane since the oc-
cupation of the islands and what dis
position has been made for their treat
ment.
The number Of American soldiers.
belonging to the army in the Philip
pines who have committed suicide
since the occupation Of the islands.
The resolution went over under OBJ
lection.

w LEGAL OPINIONS.

The late Chief Justice Pearson said
1873, that if there was any more
learned lawyer in North Carolina tina
Mr.. Lanier he did not appear before
the supreme court" This was said Of
Marcellus v. Lanier, LII. D., Of Ok
ford. Both lawyers are still living. DR..
Lanier has been a ruling elder in the
Presbyterian church for probably half
a century. He is of Virginian birth, was
educated at the University Of Vir-
ginia, but has lived in Oxford
since 1912 or 1S43. He is a man of high
Christian character, a most devout,
earnest believer in the Son of God.

Dected. He is pure, good, true, honor
able, faithful. This writer went to
school to him when he was a lad and
has known him intimately through
man. years. The Oxford Ledger pub
fishes his opinion as TO the amend
ment. He is a very able lawyer as
we'll as learned:
Oxford, N. c., May IA, 1900.
1.-The undersigned member Of the
North Carolina bar, after having ex-
amined and considered the provisions
of the proposed amendment to the
constitution submitted by the leg
islature of 1899 to the people for rat
ification, give it as my opinion that
the said amendment is not in conflict
with either the federal constitution
Or anything in the state constitution
in regard to amending the same.
81 further give it as my opinion that
the 4th n 5th sections of said
amendment are so connected in subject
matter, each so clearly conditional and
dependent upon the other, that both
must stand or fall together, and that
it is too clear to admit of a doubt that
the 4th section cannot stand if the t5h
section should be declared unconsti-
tutional.
1T is clear that this amendment, if
natified, will mo- DIST anchise either
now or hereafter. any person who was
himself entitled to vote prior to 1867,
or whose ancestor was entitled to vote
at any time prior to 1867, either in this
state or in any state in the United
States in which he then resided, pro-
vided he registers one before 1908 and
does not thereafter become disqualified
by crime. NJ. V. LANIER.

WHERE CRIME MOST ABOUNDS.

Inc nOTlleTn puuilCd llOiS, HSWSpd-
pers and journals, are still discussing
lcrime and where it most fiourishes in
the United States. The south is so
bitterly denounced, and it's white peo-
pie so mercilessly abused and villified
as 'savages," that it is gratifying to
again have evidence from northern
sources to show hat the south is not
worse than parts of the north with
the negroes included, who furnish the
larger part of the criminals. 1t is now
known from reliable statistics that
lcrime is on the increase the world
lover. In the United States there is no
exception.
August brahms is chaplain of the
california State prison at San Quen-
tin. He has published a book on 1.-The
Criminal" 1t is Endorsed by the dis
tinguished Italian criminologist, Prof.
ICesare Lombroso.
We find that the criminals in prison
show a steady increase in ratio. In
1850, the ratio to 1000. 900 of population
was 29O. In 1880 it was 1,169. In 1890,
l ,315-more than five times 1850.
There is a decrease in the crimes of
foreign population in this country, but
large now. In 1850 it was 1,074, and in
1890. 1,7SS.
How is this crime distributed? We
give this from the table. In the whole
country in 1880 it was 709 in 1000, 900
inhabitants. In 1890 it vas 722-in-
crease 13. The North Atlantic States
had in 1880 76S, and in 1890, S32-in-
crease 81. The South Atlantic States
showed 1880. 7O4; 1890, 73O-increase &c.
Western States, 1880. 1,26S; 1890, 1,341-
increase IS.
Larceny is the leading crime. 1t is
greater in the west than in the south.
Burglary is high, very high in the
west. In the north central it is Ills
per 100, 900; in the west. $40. Forgery
is twice as great in the west as in the
north or south. Homicide is Ill in the
South Atlantic n 27.3 in the west.
chaplain brahms shows that forengn
indicators exceed native.
The ~unfavorable showing of natives
is to a very great extent attributable
to the negro population. In 1880 the ne
groes furnished 1,621 criminals to the
200, 900 of population; in 1880, 2,4S0;
in 1890, 1925. Now put whites against
this: In 1S70-740; 1SSO-964; 1S90-1,-
I042. The negroes had three times the
ratio of criminals. Mr.. brahms shows
that the west leads, with an increase
of 70 per million of inhabitants, and
Exhibits extraordinary totals, while the
North Central and South central
states actually show a decrease of Is
and 40, respectively. In the United
States as a whole there were 709 pris-
land 722 in 1890. The increase for the
North Atlantic States during the cor
responding period vas from 76S to 1872,
for the South Atlantic States from 704
ito 730 and for the Western States from
1,26S o 1,341. The distinction of having
the fewest prisoners belonged to the
North Central States which are cred
Iited with $40 per million in 1880 and
lonly 491 in 1890, the figures for the
South Atlantic States being S91 and
tS42, respectively"
If you take the white criminal sta
l~tistics of North Carolina and the white
terminal statistics of Massachusetts,
we do not doubt that the latter makes
the worst showing.
