AWFUL COST OF CRIME.
New York City Paid Out sS5 ,56s, t33
Last Year.

New York. April 20.-The annual
cost of crime in the city of New York
is rapidly assuming such gigantic
proportions that it will soon be equiv
alent to not only the Interest on the
national debt, but also to a substan-
tial annual payment on the principal
Last year crime and its results cost
that city s35,562,133.24. This sum
could 1t be devoted to the construc-
ton OF new subways for which the
city is so vainly clamoring would
build one of these underground lines
of travel every year, clean all the
streets, pay the salaries of all the city
officials, and leave about $4,000, 600
in addition for the support of hospit-
ais.
In addition to this vast sum $42,-
6O5,479 was spent in the greater city
for the detection, punishment and
prevention of crime. Crime during
the past year exacted also S424,1SO
for the maintenance of the district at
torney's office and $1S,S49,S41 for the
police department.
Throughout the whole country
more than 100000 inmates of aims
houses, asylums, reformatories and
similar institutions cost the country
more than s62,OOO.OOO annually. In
New York alone the proportion OF the
annual budget traceable to crime
amounts to s7S,S66,100. Through
other channels the total probably ex-
ceeds $125, 100000, so that New York
city has the record of having the
highest crime tax in the United
States.
Throughout the country the direct
cost of crime is estimated at $7O,OOO,-
900, but New York's bill is far in ex-
cess of that OF any other city.

CAKE SAYS THE PRINCIPLE WON

One Of the cleanest political cam
paigns ever conducted In this state
was that of Mr.. Cake, the successful
candidate for republican nomination
for United States senator, says the
oregon Daily Journal. From Mr..
Cakes headquarters the campaign
has been conducted along absolutely
impersonal lines, the issue at stake
being the cause Of statement No. /.
Mr.. Cake for more than two years
has been recognizeud as the republican
advocate Of the popular election OF
United States senator's. He attributes
his nomination absolutely to the cause
of the popular election OF United
States senators.
II attribute the victory absolutely
to the determination Of the people to
hold fast to the rights which they
have labored to gain. My firm con-
viction with reference to the popular
election Of United States senators and
statement No. and my earnest advo-
cacy Of that cause is without doubt
the cause OF my selection by the re-
publicans of this state.
"The defeat of Senator Fulton was
due In no sense to his personality, to
his record, or to anything that he has
ever done. In my estimation 1t Is due
simply, as 1 said before, TO the fact
that the people demanded that their
senators should be elected ty popular
vote, and that Mr. Fulton's position
