From the PhiIadelDhia Public Ledger.
There IS no reason 10 suppose that
crimes OF violence are relatively more
frequent in this country nov than they
were a generation ago. One difference Is
that the telegraph has brought the whole
country into such close communication
that crime committed in a remote town.
that formerly would never have been
heard OF outside the immediate vicinsge,
becomes instantly known everywhere
The police Of every city and town are On
the alert for the apprehension Of the
criminal. and every scrap Of intelligence
that can directly or remotely bear upon
the occurrence Is gathered up and quickly
disseminated.
