That systematic public education t n
turages crime is a charge frequently
made by those with
a superficial knowl
edge of facta. In
Kdaratlaa
d Crlote.
a late issue of the Educational Review
is un article in which Prof. Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia university,
takes the trouble to refute the asser.
tion that public education in the United
States has increased the number of
criminals against property. In the
first place, he nays, it should be remem
bered that communities which main
tain schools have higher stunilards as
to what is lawful than communities
without such a civilizing influence, and
therefore more acts are held criminal
and more crimes are detected and pun
ished. A greater number of arrests
may signify better police administra
tion rather than an increase in crime.
When records are carefully kept it ap
pears that the illiterate population
furnishes from six to eight times its
proper proportion of criminals. This
was established by an investigation of
the bureau of education, The history
of Massachusetts presents a conclusive
answer to the contention that educa
tion begets crime. In 1850 the jail and
prisons held 8.7G1 persons, while in
1885 the number increased three times,
or to 20,651 an apparent increase in
crime. Hut analysis shows that serious
offeiises have fallen off 40 per cent.,
while vigilance in prosecuting is re
sponsible for the apparent increase.
Thus, says this authority, despite the
decrease in drunkenness, the commit
ments for this offense increased from
3...41 in 1H50 to 13,7.11 In 1885, While other
crimes and commitments were one to
1S3 of population in 1850, against one
to 2-14 in 1SSJ. So person and property
are safer, while drunkenness has be
come more dangerous- to the drunk
ard. A little Celestial, older than he looks
by many years, the son of an attache of
the Chine.se legation ut Washington,
when on his way home from school
with some of his American playmates
tJie other day, was accosted by an In
qulsdtive stranger: "Hello, little
Johnnie, likee lillee Melicana?" The
child looked at the questioner very
m-.'ivelv ''Yes I like Utile Americans
he said, linally, "but my name is not
Johnnie, and I don't understand what
interest you can possibly have in my
likes and dislikes."
A well-known lawyer of New York
city is president of a club of which
his wife is a member. She also is
president of a club known throughout
the country, and is thoroughly con
versant, therefore, with parliamentary
law. Considerable amusement was
caused at a recent meeting of the
"mixed" club, by the president's wife
objecting to his ruling on a certain
point. An animated discussion ensued,
and perhaps fortunately for the fu
ture peace of the family, the lawyer
was sustained.
In the early years of the political
history of this country it was custom
ary to choose as the president the
candidate getting the highest number
of electoral votes and to make the can
didate (usually of the opposite party)
who got the second largest number
of votes vica president. This plan was
adhered to until 1S4, when the pres
ent system of popular votes for pres
idential electors was inaugurated.

Archbishop Martinelli is still in
the west, whither he went early in
May with his secretary of legation.
Dr. Hooker, to give the pallium to the
new archbishop of Oregon, Alexander
Christy, who begged to receive it from
the ablagate'a own hands. So does
the popularity of this genial prelate
extend from ocean to ocean, and yet
he lives at the papal legation ut Wash
ington a most retired life, the life of
a monastic, effacing himself whenever
possible, Hut on the rare occasions
when he comes in contact with people,
says the New York Tribune, he is as
responsive and agreeable as u uiun
of the world.
Mgr. Martinelli wns sent to the
American capital in 1896, and his pop
ularity is emphasised by thfc unpop
ularity of his predecessor, Cardinal
Satolll, who si l ined, with all his clev
erness (and he was a most erudite
man and profound thinker), never
quite to understand the American
character or point of view, and, with
the best intent inns in the world, he
misinterpreted the attitude of people
toward aim, ami made mistakes that
will never be forgiven. His successor,
on the contrary, in whom are united
the most lovable qualities of the Latin
race, is full of tact and possesses a
knowledge that prevents him from of
fending against the traditions of those
among whom he lives. The infinite
pains, too, that he takes in small mat
ters, his never failing amiability and
Unselfishness endear him both to the
people of his own church and those
of other communions who have the
privilege of knowing him.
His good nature was shown about a
year ugo by an incident so trivial it
ARCHBISHOP MARTINBLLL
Cine fopo'a Representative In (im United
States.)
escaped general notice. The daughter
ot one of his servants was about to be
married, and nothing would do the
bride-elect but that the archbishop
should tie the nuptial knot. The father,
in awe of his patron's high oilice, fenred
to put the request, but the daughter,
with the buoyancy of youth and inex
perience, boldly, if blushingly, asked
the pope's lepate to perform the cere-
mony. Her request was cheerfully ac
ceded to, but Involved more than any
one supposed, since the monsignor had
no license from the local authorities,
which is necessary in the district to
celebrate the marriage ceremony. He
wns not deterred, however, from car
rying OUl his promise, and went to the
trouble of securing a license to many
the daughter of one of his employes to
t he man of her choice.
Mgr. Martinelli was educated at
Rome under Cardinal Scpiacci, of the
Angelica, Being ordained as a priest
March 4, 171. He is a member of the
Order of St. Augustine, to which his
brother.CardinalMartlneill.whodonned
the habit in 1803, also belonged'. Short
ly before his ordination, the monsignor
lived' for some years in the Augustine
community In Ireland, where he be
came familiar with the English lan
guage as it is spoken by our Irish cous
ins, and his accent still suggests a
slight brogue.
In 1889 Archbishop Martinelli was
elected to the post of prior general of
his order, and in 1895 was confirmed in
this oilice for a term of 12 years. It is
doubtful if anyone among Wic AugUS
tines is more popular or more widely
loved, and none surely have u more po
tent Influence.
The archbishop has taken a de
termined stand regarding politics. He
will have nothing whatever to do with
them. "I shall regard my duty to the
church and to the American people as
Christians paramount to everything
else. The church will have nothing to
d0 wit n politics," said t he apostolic del
egate shortly after his arrival in this
country, a determination to which he
has strictly adhered, although the
temptation, to one who could exert so
grea! an Influence, to exceed his
churchly functions unit lend a helping
hand w here his sympathies are enlisted
must be great.
