Mr. Morrison, chaplain of an English prison, has made a careful study of the cause of crimeand wri ten a book upon “juvenile ( fi‘enders." The temptation to commit crimes he finds is greatest among the young, and that the greatest part of the criminals con-. fined in pris0n are between the ages of sixteen and thirty. Mr. Morrison be- lieves that physical inferiority is the cause of crime ottener than drunken- uses or pauperism. An (xceedingly large proportion of the children sent to reiormatories, he says, are stunted in growth, weigh less than. the average weight, and sufi'er from defects which makes success in manual labor difficult, if not impossible. Not only is the phy- sical Lusis of life defective, but'tbe mental condition is, as a rule, faulty. These children have a feebly develop- ed intellect, combined with absence of feeling and instability of Will. This and their surroundings accounts for their condition, for Mr. Morrison finds that in England only fifiet 11 per cent of the inmates of reformatories and industrial schools before they were committed were living under comfortable economic conditions. Under such circumstances, he is of the opinion that it is entirely a _ mate of (fibrt to adopt purely punitive methods of restraint. It is a serious re- flection that, according to this authori- ty, the criminal returns of almost every country in Europe rhuwihat the per- centage of well conducu d prisoners in penal institutions was never higher than itgis atthe present time; but, unfortu- nately, these same returns show that the proportion of prisoners who re- turn to a life of crime after their release was never _ greater. This evidently points to the absolute necessity of re- form by -improvedisurroundings in the earlier years of life. no. The Grant Celebration. V In the ceremonies attending the dedi cation of the Grant Monument atRiver- side Park to-morrow, the whole coun- try will have an opportunity of cele- brating the memory of the greatest soldier of the century. It is pleasant to learn, too, that nearly all the States will be represented on the occasion, thus giving to the event a truly nation- al character and significance. The pa- triotic observer is compensated for the ten years of delay and the correspond- ing anxiety on the part of the people at large by this demonstration of unabated gratitude and honor. One feels that love of country is still an active princi- ‘._ pal, and takes comiort and courage in the thought that a Nation which so re- verse its heroes is in no present dan- ger of decadence. Every indicaticn points to a notable display of patriotic pride and reverence—to an event of memorable brilliancy. Large numbers of the American people have believed and insisted that U. S. Grant should have been buried at Washington. Chief among the papers of the country advocating this was the Washington Post, which appropriately says, that “No matter what the family thought or what the family's New York iriends believed, Grant’s noble ashes, ~like his splendid name, were the com- mon property of the republic he had saved from wreck. The whole people alaimedthls by a. higher and more sacred right than any individual or single communi y could possibly assert. herein the nation’s very heart, the imalnspnug of the far-reaching pulses which his strong touch restored to health—here should have been rearcd the shaft that was to commemorate his tame. Amidst the national monuments of. which his steadfast courage aLd indomitable purpose were the bulw iii, the hero’s last long sleep should have been ordered. Upon the sunniest sh pa 0'! Arlington, where the fierce winds. of winter fall with bated violence and where are found the earliest verdure and first-born flowers of spring, they should have made his resting place. Remote from the city’s turmoil and the , defilement of its dust and din, where the sweet sounds of nature and the puIe breaths of heaven are, the great Gap- ' tain’s grave should have been" dug, .Thsn'th‘e pilgrims to his tomb could ‘- aoross the shining water, the shimmer- ing marbles of the Capital be rescued, and thick about him—relics of the most momentous struggle the world has ever known—his comrades and lieutenants would have waited for that final sum- mons which, for all of them, must come at last. ‘ Nevertheless, since the tomb is to be at New York and the nation must go! there to pay its tribute, we are glad to know that the day is to be made" mem- Orable by a brilliant and impressive de- monsxration.” DON’T Bilinn ELUDED Willl Foreign Testimony.
