Reporter and Post. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE fHttfed at the Panburf X. 't!.y'Potojlte ' '. t Second Vitus Hatter. $HURSDAT, JANUAltY 13. 18S7. THIS PAPER E!?32S liliwalalaaSiai nnfl iflM nl nl nlliT a .The fto Taudle counties of West Virginia, Handcoclc, Rrooke, Ohio and Marshall, want to be -added to Pennsvl Tenia. '" the projeot ol starting first class . paper in this State, with a capitol of tvrcnty-flye thousand dollars, is being privately discussed. It soems the scheme is as yet too ill defined to reader tt expedient to make known any partio 1 nlars, or venture to predict whether the matter will be entertained with that jegree of favor which will eventuate in Its taking form. t AOiop a nendjej o&coatributions tj Ho mqraJs, Jmt signally interested in '-iL' . . Idsoovering some remedy'for the evil.' Ihe Hayne-Wilde memorial fund we ,. - , Ue Wayne- note that of George W. Childs, of Phil- 'adejphia, for $500. This is a graceful- recognition of these Southrons who 'were not only gentle souls but true poots. The world dees not forget the names of its poets, for to quote Em er sou's words called out by the death of an estimable character "Whatever is excellent, As God lives, is permanent." Thomas Stevens, who is rounding the world with his bicycle, after having caused anxious solicitude for his safety, has tamed up in Japan,' and is now making bis way homeward on a steamer bound for San Francisso. lie was ston ed by the natives at one point in the interior of China barely escaping with bis life aud was at another point attack ed by a mob of people who broke his bicycle and would have killed him but for some soldiers 'who rescued him from th-sir fury. The Charlotte Church Messenger en tered upon its ninth year on Jan. 1st, with much enlarged bordors. It is well odited. aud neatly "printed on good paper. It should be read by any one with pleas ure, and with benefit too, whether he be "a member or not of the Episcopal Church of which it is an organ. It should bo 'liberally sustained, and we are glad to see that it is prospering. It is cheap at $1.50. Specimen copies may be had from the office of publication in Char lotte. ; The Erie Express on the Baltimore and Ohio It. R. collided on Jan. 4, with a freight train a mile west of Republic, O. (8 miles from T if ton) and about twen ty passengers were crushed and burned to death. The express was running as is supposed, at a f-peed of not less than 60 miles an hour, and was westbound, The freight castbound was probably making a rate of speed not less than 30 miles an hour. The two sleeping cars did aot leave the track, nor was any ot the passengers in them hurt in the least. Mrs fish, of Joliet, 111 , sister of Gen. Logan and her son Charles, were among the passengers in the sleepers. Gen. Logan, who died suddenly iu "Washington on Sunday '20th of Decem ber, of a cute rheumatism, was one of the icoat popular leaders of the Repub lican party. Though his educatidn'was defective, he possessed considerable natural ability. His death leaves a vacancy in the Senate which will be filled by an election by the Legislature of Illinois now in session. It is Re publican on joint nallot by seven major ity. He wouldjjbave been a prominent candidate for the 'Presidential nomina tion in 1888, had not death broken on Lis career. IS CRIME INCREASING The Wilmmgtrn Star in a receut ed itorial on crime and is causes remarks : , "It "is a fact that erime is steadily increasing in the South. Prior to the war', id slavery timer, murders among negroes were comparatively rare; among the whites they were very rare indeed imimmJ with th imunt In Nnrth Carolina, we are pained to say, erime is mnch more rife and abounding than at 'any former time. We have but little donbt ttat in the last five years there have been more murders, or attempts to "kill ooourring In North Carolina than in preeedirJgSewesrs, er in any twen ty years heftfrs the war." ,' , '- It eannot be 'doubted that crime has beoome alarmingly rampant, but wheth er it is increasing beyond the ratio in which our population has swolled within the la3t two decade, we are not prepar ed to say. 1Bt we are inclined to think that it cannot be denied -"by those who are able and willing to look facts in the face that there are seemingly strong in dications of a relapse into It .period of social and political disorganisation such as has never been witnessed in America. By the optimist this idea would of course be scooted. We oopy the opinion of the Raleigh Biblical. Recorder with the Star's eomment thereon as follow :'.... ''It is probable that wore murders were committed in North Carolina dur ing the past year than in ttny half doteti years since 1865. Nearly "every county has had its criminal and its victim. Nearly every community in the State has been shocked by the terrible an nouncement that some one of its eiti sens has boett murdered. "The number of these terrible exper iences hare rapidly increased during the last five or six icars. The people are becoming alarmed and are asking not only for the causes that have led to this deplorable and ruinonsstate of pub- vr naiever me causes oi ois aianmug and dreadful increase of trime the fact remains, we tako it.' We could again discuss the causes as we have done in former editorials, but it would probably do no (rood. As we look at it the chief causes for increase of crimo, aside from natural depravity and widely prevailing tendencies to evil, are the following : First, defects in the criminal law nd tha failure of Courts to render speedy verdicts. Second, a falso publio sentiment that condones' crime and sympathizes with villains. This is seen in numerous ap plications extensively signed for execu tive clemenoy, and in bestowing floral tributes by foolish women upon such red-handed murderers as (. luverius. Fourth, the one-man power. Fifth, the failure of piowcuticg offi cers to do their duty. Sixth, tho jury system. The list might be extended, but these constitute'' the chief causes of crime, and nntil they are corrected there will be but little abatement of crime. It is simply most deplorable that in a Statu that has been always so law aoiding as North Carolina a so many incarnate-devils should despoil and kill and deflower and sow ihe wlurlwind." It may be questioned whether the ends of justico would not be better serv ed by a professional jury than Ly the Jury as empanelled nnder the present law. It is not uncommon to nee a jury) sitting on the trial of a prisoner, com. posed in part of unintelligent men who for lack of ability to weigh tho points of the evidence are inolined to disagree to a verdict of guilty nnder the mistaken idea that tbey are giving the prisoner at the bar the benefit of a reasonable doubt. FOREIGN. LoNPON,January 1 The Pall. Vail Gazette states that Joseph Cbairberlain yesterday made definite overtures to Gladstone for a reunion with the Liberal party. Salitbury's scheme now is to form a coalition Cabinet, by intioducing three of the kicking Liberals. Can such an ill-assorted combination live ? Wil mington Star. Paris, Jan. 1.
