Not Growing Worse.

q oCIOLOGIsTs who argue that
- mankind are growing worse
~ will find apparent corrobora-
tion of their theory in some
criminal statistics which have recently
been made public in Germany. A
period of sixteen years-from 1882 to
1S9S-is covered in the German COM
pilation and the figures show on the
one hand a decrease in crimes against
property and on the other hand a
startling increase in crimes against the
person.
In 1882, the persons sentenced for all
kinds of crimes numbered 329,96S in
1898 they numbered 477,sO7. To put it
in another way, the crimes in the for
mer year numbered 1O4,9 TO 10000 in
habitants, and in the latter, 1857. In
1882, the crimes against the person
were 1O7, ,3S9, or "a per cent. of the whole
number, and in 1898, 2O3 29S, or SO per
cent. The crimes against property in
the former year were 169, 1874, or $50 of
the total criminality, and in the latter
year. 190,955, or less than A per cent.
We have learned to accept with
caution the face value OF statistics OF
this kind, especially those tending tc
show rapid increases in criminality
Such increases, when carefully traced
to their sources, rarely amount &c
much. They usually represent changes
in legislation tending to multiply the
number of petty offences Of which tnt

We understand that the Democratic
nominee for congress in this district,
whose position on the free silver qucs-
tion has been proclaimed on perhaps
thousand occasions, is not afraid
this year, as are some of his colleagues,
to face squarely the plank in his
party's national platform which ex-
plicitly re-demands the free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver at
the constitutional ratio OF 16 to !, with
out waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation. In other words, our
information is to the effect that he
has the full courage of his convictions
and would want no finer opportunity
than the chance to cast a vote in
congress for a free coinage bill. If
this information Is accurate it does
credit to Mr.. Conrys candor and Is
recommended as a proper view of a
candidates duty toward the platform
OF his party.

n newspapers of the country about the deeep-
tive methods OF Chinese diplomacy. Whatever
Chinese diplomats may be as rule, every one
who has occasion to visit the Chinese legation In
this city will, says the Washington star, see
every evidence of candor in his reception and
treatment, Minister WI, for instance, never re-
sorts to that rule OF being "out" when he does
not wish to see a caller for any reason. When
he doesn't want to see any one he says So and
those who attend to his door have never been
taught "politc lies" of any kind In dealing
with his callers. II he does not wish to see
a caller he leaves word to that effect, together
with the reason why he desires to be secluded.
The minister himself, every one knows who
has met and talked with him, is often candid to
a degree Of bluntncss, asking pointed questions
and given outspoken answers when he gives an
answer at all. Whenever a subject is touched
upon that he desires to avoid he simply evades
the question, and that is all there is TO it.
