TO PREVENT CRIME AND REFORM GRIM.
INALS.


TO PREVENT CRIME AND REFORM GRIM
INALs.
The demand for the establishment
or a reformatory for young criminals
in North Carolina, should not cease,
either on the part of the press, or by
those people who have the welfare
of mankind, and the safety of society
at heart, until such an institution is
built in this State.
The matter of cost is so trif1ing a
question, when the saving from sin
and degradation of the youth is to
be considered, to no one can argue
or urge against the expense.
The cost of saving, of reforming
the youth, by the establishment of a
refOrmatOry, is a vast saving, from
only a money point of view when
compared to the present method of
placing youthful criminals in the
penitentiary, to be associated with
older criminals, and to become famil-
lar with depravity, and thus to learn
the way of becoming forever of the
criminal class.
The cost to the State, to society is
in letting alone, not in preventing
crime and it's growth, by the refor-
nation of those in it.
The National Prison Association
Congress, which held its annual
meeting in Cleveland, O., last week,
had under discussion this subject of
reforming the youth by the provis-
ion of refOrmatOries.
The General superintendent of the
Illinois State Reformatory, in a re-
port said
Il have no hesitation in asserting
that at least So per cent. of all young
men and boys who have committed
crimes, if taken charge of in time
and subjected to proper treatment,
will become good citizens. If the
theory of those penOlogists, physi-
clans, and professors who believe in
heredity as the direct cause of crime
is true, then it cannot be done, but
their theory is not founded on facts.
1t is true, unquestionably, that there
r hereditary criminals, but they
constitute but a small per cent. of
the whole number.
Considering 10 per cent. of the
criminal classes to be such because
of heredity, and that is a liberal esti-
mate, 80 per cent. must be accounted
for in some other way. Ninety per
cent. of the young convicted of
crimes would not become criminals
with proper surroundings, proper
companions, and proper attention"
This is the testimony of an expert,
and shows what a powerful agency
for good d refOrmatory, with it's sur
rOundings can be, when ninety per
cent. of the youth could be saved
through It's helpI
And the small percentage, ten, of
the criminal classes being criminals
because of heredity, shows what op-
portunity there is of saving the
youth and even lessening this hered-
itary per cent. through the agency
of a thoroughly equipped State re-
formatory.
No effort should be spared to urge
this reformatOry question, and the
next legislature should make an ap-
preparation for the establishment
and maintenance of such an institu-
ton IN North Carolina.-Newbern

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

The export statistics show in a
marked degree the lines in which we
are making the greatest progress in
our foreign trade. ard the exhibit is
certainly a gratifying one. 1t was al
ready well known that better crops
abroad had lessened the demand for
American braadstuffs and that the ex-
ports OF raw cotton vera not up to
those of 1898. The total exports of the
first ten months of the calendar year
however exceeded those Of the same
period in 1898 by about s4O.OOOOOO. The
total is u.O2S.SOs.s27 as against $751;
ssT.7C7 for the first ten months Of last
year.

Now l K0ow for fact that the a.
& c. r. r. has been making an earn
est effort to ga; this secured also. 1t Is
/ Of incaleulabAe importance. not only TO
Astoria but to all Oregon. that this
be secured. When we have secured
this last we will have nearly all We
want in terminal rates, It is 10 be
remembered that We already have had
terminal rates on salmon and most
commodities for years before the rail-
road was built. We have had for years
the same passenger rabes eastward us
from Tacoma and Seattle. But so far
passengers coming west ale Obliged
to pay more 10 Astoria than 10 Seattle,
Tacoma and Grnys Harbor. There is
no sense in this discrimination against
Astoria, and it will probably soon b.
remedied.
In conclusion, I wish to suggest TO
the Astoria citizens, who, like myself,
believes in Astoria, and wants 10 do
all he can for Astoria and its true in
terests. this QUESTION; Is there not
something that we, at least some Of
us, can do towards bringing about
this common point rate on wheat
shipments? While We expect the rail-
road to do its part We should not RELY

The Astorian does not desire TO
misrepresent nor n'isjudse the rail-
road company. but neither viii It

hurting someone's feelings. The people
Of Astoria contributed heavily towards
the construction Of the road and II
is not in a spirit Of mere fault find-
ing that the manag ,Jrtnt Of the rail-
road is reminded that Astoria will not
be satisfied with the result OF its in
vestnent until general common point
rates for Astoria are secured. But, as
the correspondent suggests, the people
Of this city cannot afford 10 rely
wholly upon the railroad cOmpany's
efforts.

however in erroneous statements
that one Is prone to doubt even

Such an absurd claim as the above

commercial and maritime. Indeed
these wild exagg srStions are manufac-
tured for home consumption.

decreases in other lines, is to be placed
to the credit Of the item Of manu-
factuned goods, the total figures for
this item being sSll.sSs.l7s for ten
months as against s25s,177175 for the
same period in 1898. The increase
has been most marked in the four
months beginning with July l. and as
there seems to be no diminution in the
demand for American farm machinery,
locomotives, structural iron and steel
and other forms of manufactures
goods. there is little doubt that the
increase for the entire year in exports
of manufactured goods wiz reach $75.-
Oce,OOo or SSO,OOOOOO.
How much Of this Increasing demand
for the products of American Sdrges
and factories is due TO exceptional
conditions or how much 20 a better
display Of our goods abroad it is too
sarly to determine. War exigencies
abroad have doubtless entered into
the account, and our own National
Export Exposition must have been an
important factor. The restoration Of
peace and partially settled conditions
in Cuba and Porto Rico counted for
something, and the establishment Of
sample warehouses in South America
and elsewhere have doubtless had an
appreciable effect.
The net result is certainly most en-
couraging and should inspire our man
ufacturers to more practical, system
attic and far-r9aching efforts than
ever 10 make this increase in the for
eiga demand for our foods a continu-
Gus one. While the people Of this
country are not entirely agreed about
the profit or propriety Of an expan-
sion Of American territory there can
be no two opinions about the benefits
that will follow an important and
increasing expansion Of
our foreign trade in goods Of Ameri-
can manufacture.

ASTORIA TERMINAL RATES.

ASTORIA, Jan. /, 1sOO-E4tor As
toEian: In your issue Of December 81
notice the following in the editorial:
The AstoT1an would like to know
what efforts the company has made
to get terminal rates for AAtoriaY The
Astoria people know Of none"
In that last assertion. Mr. Editor,
l believe you are clearly mistaken
and there With do the A. q c. r. r. q
grave injustice.
Up TO the time Of the completion Of
our railroad, we were particularly
wanting terminal rates on lumber
shipments by rail. And 30 1t was said
and rightly too that it was very i'm
pol tant for the advancement Of As
toria that she have the same rates
eastward by rail as Tacoma, saattle,
Grays Harbor and Shoalwater Bay.
And we got it. We got 1t, you re-
member, through the efforts Of the
A. & c. r. r. And we are now ges-
ting the benefit Of that terminal rate
on lumber. Every day lumber Is
being shipped eastward by rail on that
terminal rate. 1t has placed the mills
at the mouth Of the Columbia in the
best position Of any on the coast. And
that they realize the advantage is seen
in the fact that they are now increas-
ing their capacity as fast az is posi-
BILE.
So there IS one important instance
whore the company not only made
the effort, but secured very important
terminal rates, to the tdvantage Of
the railroad and Astoria.
And now as to the terminal rates
the common point rates-on wheat
We want in short to have
the same rates Of freight on wheat

points in the Inland Empire-lke
