RIM AND REASON.

We have been listening Of late 10 o sect Of opinion
lists who attempt to argue that il amy maa wishes TO
destroy himself he has not only perfect yeh, 10 do
So but that society, on is responsibility, and for
the peace and well-dong Of the community in gen.
eral and the individual in particular, is bound To
furnish him with the weapons. Society, iu order to
preserve itself very prudenty declines this sort Of
sophistcaiion. It holds that although individuals
may find at an times sudden method. 20 make way
with themselves the public need not ocou,y become
their exccutioners. II does not feel warranted in
setting is trademark on weapons peculiarly designed
for crime aud nothing else, or getting up patent ana
public ways of exit for dissatisfied morta', or fur
nishng general abattoir for seli-saugherors Con
trariwie It's duty keep out Of sight all extmvagan
temptations TO mischief and TO protect miserable men
even from themselves. Accordingly, arsenic and
strvchnne are not sold at the drug stores without the
prescription of a Doctor The making and sale ofccr-
tain villaiuous tools and weapons is forbidden, and
the carrying OF firearms is restricted. Lunatc asy
lums, amshouses and jail5 protective aud preyen
tive institutions and, if society does not enter into
collision with criminals and lquordeaers It is prob
ably because it wants 10 keep the highways safe and
the poor.houso, the JAIL and the morgue, from being
overcrOwded.
We observe therefore, that the principle of social
defense is very radical and simple. The law
moderates excessive and eXtravagant rumselling for
a reason corrclatye with that for which it checks the
thief and takes care of the lunatic. The liquor
dealers really do not suffer more than tho drug
gists Take off the wholesome restraints upon
the sale Of poison and there is no knowing how
popular even strychnine and arsenic may become If
we undertake, at the same time to recruit larger
army Of whisky saloon keepers and drunkards
each regiment of them supplied with their COM
Element of vivaudefes from the oncert-saloons.
Arseniceating it has been ascertained, is a habit Of
some people, and opium-eating can be made as popu
lar as rum-drinking. SO much for possibilities (such
possibilities as we instinctively shudder atty in the way
Of excess. We might, perhaps make opluneating
more general il we gave it the same advertisement
and announcement that whisky has so frequently OBJ
tanned in the public and private life Of our legislators
conncilmen and magistrates. But, we are opposed to
excessive arsenic, excessive opium, excessive whisky
and if too much rum-drnking destroys individuals,
We must see to it that too much rum-seng does not
demoralize tho community. The public Is bound to
keep itself sober and keep down the rum-sellers.
Wherefore, We regard the Excise Law as Tue p0i+

moderate measure that the public can ask accept
It represses the extravaganza Of Ilm-d0alng; which
is positive step gained We may be sure, then, that
quoy.hinking will lose portion of its popularity
while we deprive Il OF the advertisement Of so many
saloons in every block of our worst neiglborhoods-
while we make Sunday day Of privileged rest and
shut up the liquor saloon ju,t 40 We close lhe junk
shop. Further than this the Jaw does not 60. Its
good results were: less arrests for drunkenness than
ever before more peaceful Sabbahs than have had
for years and million of dollars in the public treas
ury. One other consequence is that made unlicensed
dealers aud wouldbe breakers FURIOUS. Let
them rave!
But because We seek TO remove drunkenness from
the highways, and staring and shocking examples OF
license and Gbertineagc from the eyes Of our women
and children; because we endeavOr to keep down the
rotous appetite that is engendered by the grogshop
poisons Of the sums because we would clear and
cure the city Of its notorious and licentioUs disease
the groggeres that oTerrun with crime, and the low
concert saloons that breed abomnationsn the eyes Of
all men-aro we to be told thar we are anatica?
The World of Yesterday deyotes two columns to the
blame of Secretary Stanton for the Excise law. IN
which it says:
Ofae the right OF feemeu TO drink what they please has
been assaed By these OF the party founded great
moral IDEAS. They have undertaken TO give religion
preference another by enforcing ell the observance
OF its holy days"
We know of no religion which does not respect
sobrety upon all occasions or which counsels or
society to oyer-indugence in drink. So much for the
preposterous in7inuaton that religion is outraged be-
cause a number Of rumselors Of no faith whatever,
not allowed to pollutc the holiday Of ninetenths
Of the people.
The chief and indeed, the only practical opposition
TO the Excise Law comes from the liquor'dealers
themselves One Of this class confessed, not long
ago in public court, that the profits Of his business
we're one half of his receipts. This would be only
moderate estimate in hundreds of cases where two
thirds and even ree.fourhs ere the gain on worth
less liquors for which morc7 is spent and health
thrown away reckessly Wat do these facts signify,
if not too much drinking on the side and fearful
excess Of bad liquor on the other2 OF course, the
dealers are opposed TO a law which puts something IN
toe pocket which they have robbed so longs but the
moral sense which has gained everything by the
new law will support it with all the strength and in
tegry of public opinion.

that Ncw-Oreans is not the place, it is for ex ell
