Death-dealing Drugs.

Now that New jersey has succeeded in
freeing herself from the dominion of King
Scott she feels that the life of her inhabi-
tants is worth preserving and has taken steps
to secure them against the danger of death
by drugs; at all events if they are to be poi
soned she wants it done under direction OF
prisons qualified to do it artistically and on
true scientific principles. The phenomenal
Jersey legislature, which had the grace to en-
act a general railroad law in the face and eyes
of the Scottish lobby might have been ex-
pected to look favorably upon bill providing
for an examination and licensing of druggists
with view to preventing the mistakes in
compromising medicines which so frequently
result in loss of life. The bill was intro
duced and went glibly through its prelimina-
ry stages and its propriety was so obvious
that it seemed certain to become law. Sud
denly the druggists of the State awoke to
the danger which threatened to devastate
their ranks, and a combined pressure was
brought upon the Legislature which resulted
In defeat of the bill and gave assurance
that these lawgivers were of the true Jersey
stripe. after all, and not importations from
Arcadia.
The failure in New Jersey of so clearly
proper an attempt to require proof of rea-
sonabe acquaintance with the laws of Phar-
macy on the part of those who dispense pc
tent drugs to an unprotected public points a
moral for us. 1t shows that stubborn resist
ouca poau ho ax,raotad fror, +losa d,,, rorc+s
who are unqualified to pass suitable exam
ination, to the movement which will be made
In this State to secure similar legal protec-
ton against pharmaceutic ignorance and care
lessnass. The appalling examples in this
city, to say nothing of other parts of the
State, which have occurred within the year,
are sufficient to arouse the perceptions of our
people to the necessity for action. A general
sentiment must be expressed strong enough
to overbalance the direct efforts of those
whose pecuniary interests urge that ignor-
ance and stupidity be let alone. s5
When special cases occur in small commu-
mites, like those of which our State is COM
posed, of death or serious injury from blum
ders of this kind, there is general DISPOSE
ton to hush up the matter, through sympa-
thy for the bun6erer, his family and friends;
and undoubtedly he is punished in most cases
as efectually by the keen sting of his own re-
grets and self condemnation as he could be
by any human agency. Tue only practical
bic way to remedy this difficulty and stay the
d,ath-dealing hands of incompetency is to
require some definite and sufficient qualifca-
tion in adcance from those whom society per
mits to dispense these dangerous commodi-
ties. We regulate the sale of nitro-glycerir e,
gunpowder and intoxicating liquors; with
how much more reason should we provide for
an intelligent handling of the more deadly
wares Of the drug store. .-e-. ~

no joke. OF the many examined Wednes-

answered but half the questions and that

quence of this information there is vacant

THE RECORD on MURDER TRIALS.

An eminent lawyer engaged in the de-
Tense of James Harrington, charged with |
the murder of John II. Lynch, has In
dulged in some criticisms in regard to |
the course of this paper in the trial now
pending. We have no fault to find with
the gentleman for the stand he has taken
in the case He is doing just what
lawyer ought to do-making the best
possible legal defense OF his client. In
this We have no fault to find, and should
he even hope to make a point in his eli
ent's favor by abusing everybody con-
nected with the RECORD, our estimate OF
the gentleman character Will IN no de-
gree be lessened, nor will our equanimi-
ty be disturbed. In our denunciation OF
the out-throats and periurers who stand
ready to swear to anything in order that
one of their number may escape Just
punishment, we have not been governed
by any personal feeling in regard to any
particular case. 1t is error that We com
bat; it is for the peace of the commune
ty and the welfare of society that We
contend; and it sometimes happens that
we are compelled to speak out against
our own personal inclinations. 1t should
be born in mind that what We publish in
the shape of testimony is for the public
and not for the jury, and if there be any
fear that the reports published may have
a tendency to bias the jury against the
accused, the paper should be denied to
them. But as much Of censure, as well
as praise, is uttered merely for its effect
upon the jury, and is forgotten as soon
as verdict is rendered, there is no
cause for sleepless nights in anticipation
of anything that may be uttered against
the RECORD by an attorney in behalf Of
his client. An attorney is bound by his
oath to do his best for his client, how
ever he may regard him outside of his
professional duty. A notable instance
is related as having occurred in the
practice of Sargent S. Prentiss, of Mis-
sissippi, who had a desperate murder
case to defend. But he entered upon
the task with a zeal increased by the
difficulties surrounding it. The evidence
was clearly for the prosecution, and the
most deliberate and premeditated muir
der was fastened upon the accused
The impassioned eloquence of Prentiss
won the heart (if not the Judgment OF
the jury, and an acquittal followed. So
elated was Prentiss client at his miracu
lous escape that he gave a dinner, tc
which he invited his friends, among
whom he was but too proud to name the
eloquent S. S. Prentiss. But Prentist
was one thing as man and another as {
lawyer, and he sent word to the acquit
ted murderer that while he (Prentiss
was willing to defend murderer at tn
bar, he could not recognize him IN socia
intercourse or upon the street

MASSACHUSETTS AND CALI

Fall, and in each the masses of the peo-
pie as well as the politicians, are divided
into factions, and especially is this so
among the Republicans. In California
it seems impossible that either of the
great parties can triumph on the Sd of
September. In Massachusetts there is
no railroad issue to divide the masses,
yet there are no less than five parties in
the feld-the Washburn Republicans,
the Butler and Ten-hour Republicans,
the Democratic, the Liberals, and the
Temperance Prohibitionists. The Wash
burn Republicans are led by the old
stand-bys Of the party, including such
men as Boutwell,, Hoar, Davis, Clafin,
and others, who may be styled the fathers
of the Republican party. The candidacy
of General b F. Putler for Governor,
and his persistent efforts to that end,
promises crop of discomfort which
bodies no good for the Republican party
of Massachusetts,. Whatever may be said
of him, it cannot be denied that he speaks
boldly. Concerning his connection with
the Salary Act (Which has been severely
criticised by his enemies), Butler steps
uhfinchingly to the front and denies the
authorship, and says that the "bill was
brought into the House without his
knowledge or action that it was referred
to the Committee of the Judiciary with.
his knowledge, and was voted on in the
House, so far as the President is con-
cerned, in his absence As to other
provisions of the measure, he says:
He voted for the bill because poor men
cannot live in Washington on their SAL
aries as Congressman. He had seen in
Congress many faithful and efficient rep
resentatives obliged to borrow money and
pledge their salaries in advance to pay
their way and support their families.

and the struggle for the means of living
which had induced them to it, and felt
from my soul, that such ought not to be
the condition of a representative of the
American people in Congress. He says

made myself responsible for--however the
same may be phrased-an increase of sal

MExIco.-The New York World says
the facts are not wanting to show that an
effort is in progress in Administration
circles to provoke trouble with Mexico,
and this being the case certain military
and naval preparations now going ON at
New Orleans and its vicinity are not
without their suggestiveness. 1t is only
the opportunity that is waited for. The
absorption of Mexico has been the lead
ing motive of everything done by the
Administration in Mexican affairs.
