Unless cwunitted on United States
territory, as tliulrlgnisbml from the do-
main of the m-psrate states, the general
government chcr tries criminals for or-
dinary crimes, such as robbery, murder,
etc. Yet the crimes for .which oficnders
are tried in United States courts are nu-
merous, including among others counter-
feiting, smuggling, robbing the mails,
violation of jxistal laws, national bank
embezzlement and forgery. About 8216,-
000 was expended during. the last fiscal
year on the keep of United States con-
victs, and it is the claim of those who
advocate the building of United States
prisons that, rightly managed, such in.
stitutlons could be so conducted as to

The [lessons it Tcuchcs.
Councilman Sister's disclosure that ex-
‘ Tax’ Collector Herman Synder is short
in his accounts on the list of 1891 and
tho the extent of at least $5,000,
credit-d surprise when the fact was made
publicl yesterday. It was, however, a
surprise mingled with expressions of re'
grat and sympathy for himself and his
family.Mr.Snyder was what is termed “a
hale fellow wall met,“ always genial and
. hrge hearted, and to this one particular
trait of his character, more than to any-
thing else, perhaps, can be attrib ed his
' uddownfall; it led him into fascmating
temptations which so often prove ruin-
ous to young men of promise in business
lie. The lesson is one which others who
no inclined to squander their earnings
in a similar direction should take unto
themselves. "
1f reports are true, Mr. Snyder‘s mis-
appropriation of funds was not solely for
his personal use, but whether they went
into other people's rmketsin dribiets or
into a wild collusive‘spcculation in a
lump in violation of a trust, with the
hope of return without discovery, the
.pqubflo’n is the same, and the consequences
as serious in every particular. _
This defa'lcation establisbtn the neces-
llty fora larger bond by the collector in
the future, and a closer scrutiny on the
part of the finance committcc. After
the date when the city tax becomes due
atbree thousand dollar bond is ample,
provided the money is turned into the
treasury,asrequired by the ordinance,
but as there is no penalty for failure to
comply with the law, the city can only
be made secure by a sufficient bond.
Theonly indemnity the city has in this
case is a bond of 33,000 and a dividend.
if any is available, from Mr. Snyder's es—
tale, and is liable to loose between $9,001»

A journey was made of hundreds of
miles in an old spring wagon across Tur-
key in Asia, through an unknown
country infested by robbers and hostile

photographs, would make one of tho
most valuable books of the day. All
