Criminal Record For Last Year.
There is certainly something terribly
out of jointwith the times in this conu-
ty. The record of murder, suicide, em-
] Mllement and crime for 1894 exceeds
that of any other year, There were no
1!” than 9,800 murders, a third more
then there were the year before. That
ll to lay. of our population of 05,000,-
. .00 one person in about 6,653 was mur-
dered. The record is an awful one.
916! 200 of the killings were in conse-
We! strikes and riots. They are
the ghastly handwriting that marks
wants in the labor war. By far the
lergut number of killings—4,536—
weu in consequence of quarrels. It is
to be noted that while 0,800 persons
were murdered only l8? ware hanged.
loss than twice as many hangings took
piece in the south as in the north. And
190 people were sent out of the world
by the lynching method last year, there
being seven of these unlawful execu-
tions in the south to one in the north.
Georgia alone was the scene of 201ynch-
lngs. There were, however, ton fewer
Iynchings in 16494 than in 1893.
“ In the list of suicides the record is no
.430 in 1808. In 1893
there was a great jump upward in
trilnel of dishonesty and violence in the
United States, but 1804 shows a heavy
Therm over that your. Much of the
Kim and violence is undoubtedly due
to herd times.
The property lost throgh embezzle-
ments and the dishonesty of trusted em-
ployees amounted in loll-l to $25,231,-

Greater Gold Production.
One can hardly tell whether it is a
more advertiscnwnt from the company
owning the African goldfiellls, or a
movement on the part of the goldbugs
tostrike terror to the hearts of the sil-
verlilal and make them yield, or wheth-
l' they are bone flde news—the accounts
so humorously and so vigorously circu-
lated about the vast resources of the
louth African goldflolds.
The accounts declare that thus far
lure goldflelds have not yet begun to
yield their maximum. A French geolo-
gist, I. Jacques Siegfried, says that
h‘frican gold deposits, unlike those of
“Honda. run in regular layers and can

United fitstes is going to follow deed
in the wake of the old European mow
tries. with their rigid social caste sysv
ism. He declares. what is plain to all,
that the American woman of means
and standing is doing at present all she
possibly can to work thiii country over
on the European social system. , If she
succeeds. we shall have in 25 years “an
enormous ducking and scraping. fee
seeking, livery Wearing servant class,"
and we shall have no social equality at
all. If that is what the American mis-
tress is aiming at, it would have been
better if our ancestors had never come
to America at all. It: was not Worth
while. The European social system was
much better in Europe than it ever can
be in America.
In 25 years MnGroat thinks we shall
have a reproduction of the typical serv-
ant class of Europe, oreleo i‘wu‘ must
change the conditions of domestic serv-
ice—change them so that condescension
and servility vanish and the contract of
service becomes like the other contracts
of employment between man and man
and man and woman. ”
There will probably be a way out
which does not seem to have occurred
to Mr. Grant. The discovery of new
machines and methods, the application
of electricity to household tasks, the
growth of co-operative housekeeping,
will revolutionize domestic work so of-
fectually that the servant girl as now
known will no longer be needed. Half
the labor that used to be performed in
the home has already been relegated to
the factory. Nobody is ashamed to work
in a factory or in a place where work is
done by wholesale away from home. It
is the thought of being in some meas-
ure a slavish body servant that is dis-
tasteful, and no freeborn American
woman can be blamed for cherishing
such aversion. But the housekeeping of
the future will do away with domestic
slavery. send most of the tasks out of
the house to be performed, and make
what remains so light, dainty and ms-
thetic that it will be a pleasure to per»
form it even for the daughters of the
house.
It is agreeable to know that Mr.
Grant does not blame the freeborn
American woman for this dislike of do-
mestic service. But what he thinks in
his heart of a large and increasing clam
of young women in this country is set
forth in vigorous words. If, after read.
