Judge Parker Discusses the Causes la the Jlorth American Review. Judge I. O. Parker, of the United States District Court of the Western district of Ar kansas, discusses in the ourrent number of . the North American Review the causes and the remedy for the recent homicides in ' tho United State*. The facta are placed before us In such a way that we cannot contradict them. During the last six years there have, been 48,<W3 homicides la this country, and average of 7,817 per year, within the same period there have been 728 executions and 1,118 lynching*. In the Isst year 10,800 persons were killed, where* as In 1800 there were only 4,390, or less than half aa many. The figures prove that homicidal crime Is increasing at an alarm log rate. The ineffective administration of the criminal law Is blamed for this state of - affairs. David Dudley Field says so; JnsUco Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, says so, and Judge Elliott Anthony, of Illi nois, is of the tome opinion. Judge Parker also agrees with the other exalted expouden ? of the law, aad dweusenth# false sympathy that Is always awakened for the erifdniSaSS finds no tender expression for ti* rlsttn a few days aft*r the erfsMkas bean j Judge Parker note* the cotBmnsity^M, large to the esfoTHBHSt of the criminal law, and potata to tW tempi verdicts which are the outcome of frandand perjury.
