CRIME RAPIDLVINOREASING.
At the opening of the criminal
court at St. Joseph, Mo. March ist.
Judge C'alver was especially severe
iu the arraignment of murderers.
Me ileelercd that crime is on the in-
crease. The instruction were in tend-
ed to cover the many cases of this
kind to be brought before the grand
jury al this term. Judge C'alver said :
"For instance, prior to ifSNlj less
than 1000 murders and justifiable
homicides were committed annually
iu the t inted Slates. In l.sHli the
number reached 11 111; 1HS7. 'i.'l.'Jo ;

most. I I,outi of our

These facts are not only tenable, but
so astounding as to be almost beyond
belief. With all our boasted civiliza-
tion and progress, the fact yet stares
us in the face that we are a Nation
of murderers. No Kuropean Nation
has In proportion to its population
as many murderers as we have.
K veil Italy, known as the moat,
mtirdeotis of Nations, has annually
less than one-eighth as many murders
with one-half as great a population.
All other forms of crime are increas-
ing iu about the same pioporlion.
"In our own State we have no ac-
curate compilation of statistics on the
subject, but a good idea can be
formed of the facts when it is known
that within the past four years the
number of persons convicted of crime
has increased JIO per cent. A part of
this increase must lie accounted for
on account of the increase iu [fhpula-
iation, but the increase in crime so
far exceeds the growth in population
that we must look to other causes for
an explanation.
