ished nations of the earth. In classic
Greece and mighty Rome there was nc
care. no institution for the afflicted, the
poor. the orphan, the aged, the weak
minded or the sick. Nay, more; did
not the famous Lacedemonian legisla-
tor. Lycurgus, formulate a law accord
ing to which a deformed child should
be put to death, lest it became source
of expense to the state? Did not JUS
tin. the philosopher, even in the second
century of Christianity, address a let
ter to the emperor of Rome in which he
said, 1t is a common practice in your
! empire for parents 10 expose their in
| fants to death by the roadside, and are
there not persons who seek them out
and bring up for the purposes of pros
tituuon? Were not the poor. even by
the chosen people of Israel looked upon
as accursed of God?
Verify, men and sentiments have
changed since then. Today the civilized
world is dotted with charitable institu-
tons unknown in Greece. in Israel, or
in Rome. Whence this change? What
has produced this effect?
All, it is the growth and the ripen-
ing of the seed that was planted by the
Man of Nazareth and watered with his
blood. Archimedes Of old had said,
the world. Jesus did more than this,
and he had no fulcrum but. his own
great heart. He did more than the phil
osopher thought OF doing, for he not
only moved the world, but he changed
the world, he transformed the world. |
He improved the moral world-the the !
atre of human action, for he introduced |
into that world the sublime doctrine of !
the fatherhood of God and the broth |
erhood Of man. He taught it to say. |
in truth and in reality Our Father
who art in heaven. And he said to the
men of the world who would follow his
code of morals. Whatsoever you shall
do to the least OF these my brethren
you will have done it unto me-
Yes, / am proud of the charity of my
fellowmen, seeing the readiness and
with which they come to the
relief Of the afflicted and the unfortu-
nate. I was proud of my Countrymen
when / saw the immediate and effective
relief rendered to the sea-covered city
Of Galveston a year or two ago. l was
proud of the charity of my fellow citi-
zens this summer when / saw the
great tenderness with which they allie

A Study in Criminology.

The annual report of PinkertOn's Ma
t.onal Detective Agency for 1902, made to
the American Bankers Association, has
just been published. The report will prove
interesting to those interested in criminal
statistics. 1t demonstrates cOnclusively
that one of the most effective preventions
of crime is the certainty of punishment,
by showing the comparative immunity
from depreciation enjoyed by the members
Of the American Bankers Association.
During the yeah ending September 15
1902 burglars entered Seventy-three mon
member" banks, securing S129, ,43S Y, while
ten banks of the assicatiOn lost $23, $50 90
Unsuccessful attempts were made on for
ty-two "non-member'' banks. and on fif-
teen banks of the association.
The report claims that the old-time pro-
fessional bank burglar has practically
left the field, and that operations are
now conducted almost entirely by tramp
burglars, and therefore the police of this
country and Canada are confronted by L
problem difficult to solve.
The report also deals with the crimes.
arrest and conviction of forgers at whose
hands the banks have suffered. Thirty
two of this class of criminals were ar
rested, convicted and sentenced to an ag-
gregate OF eighty-one years and two
months Imprisonment. Among these was
the Farrell-Morris gang. the most dan
gerous in the field since the breaking up
OF the Becker-Cregan band in 1896.

TALKING AGAINST P1ME.

~ EPORTS from Washington are to the effect
X that the opponents of the omnibus statehood
4 bill have resolved to defeat it. even if they
have to resort to the policy OF talking it to death
Upward of thirty Senator's are said have given their
to Senator Beveridge, the leader of the oppo-
ston and asked to be allowed time to speak on the
measure 1t is estimated that if all those speeches
be made they will occupy about every hour of the
time OF the Senate that required for the passage
al the regular appropriation bills. Consequently if the
opposition find that it has not enough to de-
feat the bill squarey it will talk and talk until the
session closes.
The country is accustomed to such tactics on the
part OF Senator's. Many a good measure has been
talked into oblivion in that body of endless babblers
There are Senators whose capacity for talk has not
yet been fully measured Never has their loquacity
been pumped out When the flow of words has ceased
from their lips has been only because there was no
occasion for any The reservoirs of language
and buncombe were not exhausted. and the people
have again and again been asked to look with adj
miration upon some Senator who, after talking for
two hours day for eek more, sat down at last
in the proud consciousness of victory achieved and
the supply of ammunition still plentiful in the slack
OF his jaw.
Whether or no the country will bear with patience
the defeat of the statehood bill by that sort of tao
done to prevent it. for the Senate is sole arbiter
its rules and processes of doing public business
Still the frequent repetition OF the scandal OF defeating
important measures by loquacious minorities will
strengthen the demand for the election OF Senators

BANK ROBBERIESI
for antiques.

II ROM the New York Sun we learn that the
r. Pinkerton detective agency in that city has
l. record Of ffty-siX bank robberies committed in
various parts of the country from September 5 1902
to January 6that is within time of less than four
months. Evidently the burglar business is booming
and there great activity among the enterpris
ing members OF the profession
The crimes have been committed in small towns
only but the number is the largest on record in so
short a time. The chief seat OF the activity OF the
burglars the Mississippi Valley but several robber-
les have occurred in New York, in Pennsylvania and
in New England The one farthest West occurred
i'll Utah. not single one being reported for the
entire Pacific Coast In the South there were few
scattered from South Carolina TO Texas but the
great majority were grouped around Chicago as a
storm center.
1t appears that of recent years the banks OF large
cities have become virtually secure from attacks of
this kind. The bank robber of to-day has learned
that the safety appliances and the careful watching
that guard the banks OF city are more than he can
overcome Consequently he turns to- the country
towns and works for such booty as he can find there
Concerning that phase of the subject the Sun tells
curious story OF an attempt at burglary in prom
inent Western bank, which was carried out in such
manner that the detectives who investigated it
more than suspicious that it was undertaken in the
interest OF company which makes an unusually hard
kind OF steel for the manufacture of safes Ii there
be any Justhcation Tor such suspicious we have a
new danger to fear, for if the manufacturers of safes
begin to make show of attempts at burglary just
to get an advertisement for their goods there is no
telling what we may come to. Furthermore, it is
up to Chicago to explain why these things thick

POVERTY IN LONDON.

ONDON dispatches announce that the daily
parade OF the unemployed through the streets
- has given rise to a good deal OF uneasiness and
alarm Up to this time the demonstrations have been
orderly, and as the number OF men in any parade
has not exceeded 1000 the police have easily man
aged to prevent OF the turbulent elements OF the
city from using them as a means OF making dis
turbance. Still the shopkeeper remembers that IN
former years other demonstrations of the kind began
with small numbers and with good order, but ended
in riots and the breaking OF shop windows. The
fear is that unless something be done check the
paraders history may repeat itself and that day
there will gather crowd too large and too turbu-
lent be held in restraint either by labor leaders
or by the police.
The danger can hardly be deemed one OF magina-
ton only In London there is large element OF
hoodlums, thieves, roughs and other less
lawess kind of men, who are ever eager to get a
chance to make mischief. They have no sympathy
with labor, but they quite willing labor
agtatons to help out their own plans and should the
parades OF the unemployed become sufficiently ex-
citabe for the turbulent to precipitate riot
any serious kind of disturbance they would unques-
tionably do their to profit by the opportunity
A parade of 1000 men in city OF the size OF Lon
don is but little thing but there is no telling when
that number may swell to 10000 The industries OF
the country undergoing period of depression
and the number of unemployed is larger than it has
been for years Not long ago Kier Hardie the rep
resentative in Parliament of the labor unions wrote
to the Times that early October the returns OF
twenty-five trades unions showed that 5 per cent oi
their members unemployed compared with
less than 4 per cent in the previous October. He
then added "Those figures relate to skilled artisans
and take cognizance of the unskilled occupations
where in the very nature OF things the proportion
out OF work must always be greater 1t is rash
assumption to argue that out of the I4ooo,oo wage
earners in Great Britain 100000 are engaged in
occupations which will yield an average of per cent
unemployed, thus giving as a minimum 100000
workers out OF work through fault of their own.
Referring in greater detail to some OF the working
mems districts in London Af Hardie shows that the
proportion OF unemployed in the city is far in
attention the fact that beneath the workers there
IS the submerged class, who always more or less
unemployed He estimates that class at not less than
o,ooo and says: This vast army of misery car
have reserves to fall back upon and week:
want of work means for them actual destitution"
1t will be then that London has good reason
for uneasness at the parade OF the unemployed ever
if the persons taking part in them are not numer
and the demonstrations orderly There is
too much nlammabe material OF that kind in the
city for the authorities to afford to play with fire
There is danger in the situation, and very fearfu
danger at that.

PROBABLY NICARAGUA.

IT He wisdom OF President Mckinley in securing
a canal proposition alternative to Nicaragua is
apparent Colombia has pursued shifty
and sinister policy regard the Panama canal
I'll it is reported that further negotiation is without
prospect OF success and negotiations with Nicaragua
are reopened If this be they will proceed rap
idly TO conclusion and the work on the actual con-
struction may soon be under way.
No one can tell what far-spread influences may
have caused what appears to be the folly OF Colom-
ba. Certainly, as domestic policy, affecting what
appear be her present interests the course OF Co
lombia is idle and foolish So plain is this that one is
compelled to look for cause consistent with that
wisdom which is present in degree in the pol
icy Of even the most unstable nations A search
along that line will probably reveal very secret and
well hidden encouragement OF the belief on the part
OF Colombia that other commercial nations will
through private and not governmental sources take
and complete the Panama canal This is easily done
without any iniraction Of the Monroe doctrine, and
as is perfectly natural that the commerce OF the
world should seek independence OF canal exclu-
sively controlled by the United States we must con-
clude that the remarkable course OF Colombia is due
TO the covert suggestion OF such policy.
But regardless OF this, and in spite OF the nexpc-
able policy OF Colombia the United States will have
isthmian canal, waterway for the worlds use,
regardless OF what rival facilities heuture may pro-
drce.
ii our policy in administering the waterway be
characterized by that lberaliy general commerce
which IS the intention OF people, the necessity
Tor another canal, which Colombia doubtless de-
pends, VIII not appear, and that nation will have
finally sacrificed opportunity which was keenly
comprehended by Simon Bolivar and was among
the darling projects OF that great man.
Fortunately the Spooner bill gives the President
free hand, and he proceed with the necessary
treaties with Nicaragua and Costa Rica without fur
fher reference to Congress The period OF debate is
over and the time for action is here

A lively and hot old time has been precpitated in
the East by the Brooklyn Eagle The paper either
In bumptious recklessness or with malice afore-
thought sent out to upward OF 900 prominent teach
and professors a request for statement OF what
they understand to be the meaning OF the word
education" OF course there was trouble at once
1t appears that while everybody has education and
good MANY practice the teaching of it there is no
agreement as TO what il means. Professor Dewey
OF Chicago says Education is life" but while the
phrase sounds well It cannot be strictly accurate for
while people are born with life they are not born
with education. The State Superintendent OF Michi-
gan says 1t IS the total OF the results produced
in the life and character OF young man or young
woman by the combined influences of the home. the
school, society the church and the state" Such a
definition leaves distinction between education
and experience President Hadley of Yale agrees
with Webster, and says, at includes every exercise
OF activity which is valued for its direct results
but for its indirect effects upon the capacity of the
who IS engaged therein" Altogether the ques-
ton is something Ike live wire for starting more
talk, and people who wish to set educators wrang-
Ing might get good circus by springng it at a
