A Great Increase In Crime and Destitution Due to Indusirial Depression, Advices from Australia by the steamer Warrimoo show an alarming increase in casnalties, crimes and acute distress. The police are unable to cope with desperate housebreakers, who swarm in the large cities, A few that have been arrested give as an excuse that famine drove them to. deeds of violence. Several of the policemen attacked by burglars at Sydney are dying. The survivors have been promoted and given bonuses by. Sir George Gibbs. On-one day last week at Sydney, besides a score of petty robberies, the city hospital was robbed of all its valuables by nurses.’ Mercredie & Drew, manufacturers, were robbed ef $50,000 by employees. IF, Coxon, merchant, was robbed by an employee of a large sum. Three young women succeeded in passing a number of counterfeit checks. Charles Graham, a postoffice clerk, émbezzled $200 from the postoffice. The government’s claim is that the unemployed problem is too complicated to solve. In Sydney $500 each week is spent in aiding 500 families. Five thousand men in South Australia have asked the governor to call a special session of parliament to discuss means to aid them. The governor refused. Then they waited on Premier Kingston, but the premier would promise nothing. He told them that _thongh they were_in want of food they had refused to break 14 yards of rock per week for rations, and he could dono more. The delegation said they would not break rock for food alone. Thousands are sleeping in the open air, and several have starved to death. At Bourke, Afghans. and Europeans quarreled over a division of labor, and a bloody row occurred. The most tragic suicides out of 98 in one week, directly _ the-result of hard times, are: F.W. Wilson, the biscuit manufacturer of Brisbane, shot himself; William O’Connor, lodger in the European hotel, Melbourne, jumped from the fourth story and dashed his brains ont on the pavement; Kate Brooks, w pretty English girl, starving, «ot drunk and killed herself with poison; Joseph Bancroft, a miner out of work, said goodby to his family and exploded a cartridge in his mouth.—San Francisco Chronicle, They Want to See the Babies. The attaches of the White House re. port that a peculiarity of the women visitors to the White House is the desire of one and all to see the babies. Captain Dubois, who is in charge of the White Honse attendants, says: **There is not one in a hundred of the lady visitors who come here who does not ask to see the little ones as soon almost 3 she enters the house, { have had them tell me they would sooner see the baby than the president himself. No matter how much they are told that the presideut’s family is not on exhibition, theycontinue to beg and plead for just one look and seem to feel aggrieved when the refusal becomes peremptory.

The Government could only have receded justing mining interests has always been a source? of anxiety to legislators and others prominently identified ‘with that industry. It has always been a difficult’-matter to. secure necessary and“ competent legislation ‘because of the diversified character of mining interests throughout the country. It is only within recent years, comparatively speaking, that a system of Federal laws have been established. A year ago, A. H. Ricketts of Sa Francisco published ‘A Dissertation Upon American Mining Law.” Commenting on the early customs preva~ lent among the miners of this State, he remarks: ‘In the early days of California, from the very necessity of the circumstances in which the miners found themselves, customs grew up which soon became a guide for all; or in mass meetings regulations were adopted conceruing miners’ rights, and rules as to the working of them, which had the force of l.w in the locations where adopted, and constitute the American law common on mining for precious metals,” It is very evident from the toregoing that at the time of the discovery of géld in California the laws pertaining to mining were very crude, indeed, and were not particularly adapted to the system of mining then being introduced into this State’ . This condition necessitated the adoption of a sysstem more favorable to the manner of mining in vogue at that t'me. Meetings were heid in different parts of the State, rules and regulations were adopted which eventually became the ‘‘common mining law” of California: Meetings were held in Ne-. vada county in the fall of }850, and laws were passed regulating the size and right of claims, and also the size of town lots, In speaking of these regulations ang customs of the miners in the early days, Senator Stewart, the anthor of the Act of 1866, which was the first measnre of importaace to the mining industry introduced in the halls of legislation, remarks: “The Legislature of California had wisely declared that the rules and regulations of miners should be received in all controversies re-pecting mining claims, and when not ‘in conflict with the Constitution or laws. of the State, or of the United States, should govern then determination; and: a serigs of wise judicial! decisions has molded these regnlations and custems into a comprehensive system of common law, embracing not only mining law, properly speaking, but also regulating the use of water for mining purposes, “The miner's law,” he said, ‘‘was a part of the miner’s nature; he made it, he ‘trusted it, he obeyed it.” And at that time Senator Stewart was thoroughly competent to discuss the mining question, for hé had been previously engagedin mining in this county, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that he took an active part in establishing the “regulations and customs” of which he gu eloquently spoke in Congress, Inthe year 1866 Congress passed the first measure which had for its object the creation and establishment of a system of Federal mining law. Prior to this time there had been legislation of a sporadic and unimportant nature pertaining to mining lands in different States. But such legislation was wholly inadequate to cope with the new and perplexing conditions; and the Stewart Act was offered asa remedy. Referring to this Act Mr. Ricketts says: ‘‘It marked a new era in the development. of the American legislation; and yet, it is a Singular fact to relate, in Passing, that in its title, mines are not Inentioned, nor the purpose of the Act disclosed.” It reads: “An Act granting the right of way to ditch and canal owners over the public, lands, and for other purposes,” The miners of California and the States and Territories adjacent thereto, have but a very inadequate idea of the imminent were engaged, mencement of the thirty-ninth Cengress, gress and in the East generally,/to make such a disposition of the mines as would pay the National debt. The idea of relieving the Nation of the payment of the enormous taxes which the war had saddled upon them by the sale of the mines of the far distant Pavitic Slope, about which few people today have any knowledge whatever, was the most popular that was perhaps ever started, Compelling other people -to liquidate your obligations, has been in all ages and nations a highly comfortable and popular subterfuze. If the measures introduced for the sale of the mines tor the purpose of exterminating the National debt had passed, the Pacific States and Territories would have received a blow which time itself could not efface, from the anomalous position it had taken after the most widespread and irreparable damage had been committed. While ve cannot perceive the legality of such action on the part of the Government, still, should its purposes be carried out as originally intended, the consequences would be appalling to contemplate. We hesitate to think of the outcome of such ill-advised action.
