RAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The city aud surrounding country
have been shocked by brutal murder
of few weeks ago aud another attempt
ST killing on Saturday night in the i'm
mediate vicinity in Fairfax county. 10
the one case it was for pluuder and the
developments 10 the latter case have not
brought to light the reasons for the at
tempt. II seems that even the slightest
proyocaliOn these days is cause enough
for the taking of human life. 1t Is re-
ported that there is more than petty
JEALOUSY back of the Fairfax shooting.
It will be remembered that there was a
similar case some time ego 10 another
section of this state. A yourg mao,
imagining himself sighted at a pfrty,
had recourse TO whisky--a common prae'
tice under such circumstances for the
weak or undsciplined youth-snd as q
result shot TO death the companion OF
the girl ia her presence. Ia defending
him tae self sacrificing parents placed q
mortgage upon their home aud suffered
unreasonable sorrow sud limiiless humil-
iatiOn. But this is not az isolated case ;
such happen often. II the real causes
Of the homicidss. or attempts, which
blsckeu the record of this country were
sought, it would be found that the great
msiority of murderefs are not those who
are inevitably bad; they are not inherent
murderers, bat they have dfifted without
a guidi1g band at the helm from child
hood to manhood. There are degen'
crates, but fewer than the number OF afro
cious crimes seem to indics'e. Shook
ing crimes are committed by those whose
Chief defect is lack of self-contsol. Un'
disciplined ia childhood and young man
hood, unframed to abhoF unlawful vio'
