Stokes is now represented as not
being nearly SO sanguine ofreceiving
a new trial as he was a few weeks

DEFINING DRUNKAROS.

The Supreme Court of Ohio re-
Gently made decision which pos
sesses considerable interest for the
public generally, the point at issue
being to what extent habits OF in
temperance make policies of life in
surance void. The person insured
died about eight months after the
policy was taken out, and it was
proved that at the time of effecting
it, and thereafter until he died, he
was addicted to habitual intemper-
ance, from the effects of which his
death followed.
The Court divided the drinking
classes into three groups-those
who drink sometimes and upon oc-
casions as it were more by accident
than otherwise. but in so exception
al a manner that no one can say
they have any habit in regard to
such use, those who acquire con-
slant appetite for Intoxicating hqu-
ors and a regular habit of using
them,so that the system is kept un-
der the immediate influence of alco
holic stimulants; and those who,
while remaining sober for a month,
three or six months, or even a year
at time, and refusing to take any
Intoxicating drink, then go on a de
bauch of greater or less intensity and
lasting for longer or shorter peri
cd. These two latter classes were
held to come within prohibition of
the policy, which stipulated that if
the Insured should die by reason of
intemperance from the use of intox-
icating liquors the policy should be
void and of no effect. In the case
under reference the insured, ordina-
rilly an efficient business man, be-
longed to that class whose constitu-
tionally nervous appetite for alcho-
holic stimulants amounts to a dis
ease, and whose eXcesses no earthly
consideration or persuasion can ar
rest until prostration and sickness
compel cessation. The Court, there
fore, entered judgement for the com.
pany, reversing the decision of the
Court below.

The Pittsburg Commercial credits
the Supreme Court of Ohio with the
opinion establishing the distinction
between temperate drunkenness and
Incorporate drunkenness. Not so
The Supreme Court deals with the
State Constitution. 1t was the Su

showed such intimate knowledge o
the human constitution

The product for the year, $62 1885,
913 SO, is $3,S52,SS4 90 in excess
of 1871, which was $5S,2S4,029 66.
The increase is confined to Utah and
Nevada alone, some of the other
localities falling off slightly. 1t is
proper to state that our express
communication is so limited, and
knowledge so imperfect of Arizona,
that we do not consider the figures
given for that Territory as reliable
for the product of that section.

The Natie nal Era defends the colored people
on the Wawaset, from the charge of brutality,
and says In this connection:
"They were compelled to occupy that part of
the boat nearest the life-boat, and having the
nrst opportunity to save their lives, like all
panie-stricken people, seized upon it and inju-
diciously flled and cut away the life boat, and,
IL Il said. refused to allow q white person to get
into the boat, claiming that that particular boat
was intended for colofed people. This infer
ence was natural, because implied BY the
slowing Of colored people in the immediate vi
cinity OF the life boat and the pla cling of white
people in superior positions on the boat. There
can be no brutality in a mans obeying the first
law OF nature-self- preservat nor do we
have the slightest doubt that white men would
have as eagerly awaited themselves of the op-
portunity for escape offered by the life boat as
lid the colored men, We feel sad for that kind
Of humanity which is so insane with race preju-
dice as 70 seek TO cast odium upon a race be-
cause some Of its members in struggling for life
from the deyouring flames do not strictly OBJ
serve the manners and etiquette of Saratoga
ballroom Had there been that equality
among passengers in their treatment by the
boats company, there would have been equal
ity. in obtaining possession of the life boat
and possibly more lives saved"

The Virginia .SSntineI, too, rsps JEFF. Davis
over the knuckles for giving occasion to raise
the cry Of disloyaity and treason by his recent
uttsrances at the meeting Of the Historical Con-
vention-" Says the Sentinel:
We might have been free, perhaps, but for
the plumbers OF Mr.. jefferson DAVIS, and we are
sorry that be Is allowing himself 70 interfere
now, to some extent at least, with the prospects
OF his former people, by public utterances which
ne ought 10 have known would be eagerly seized
on by their enemies to justify their claims that
those people still harbor such a resentment
against the government as would lead them TO
sttempt an armed resistance TO the laws under
which they now live.
MI Davis never did have the affections of
the southern people in the measure and to the
extent tnat they were enjoyed by many other Of
their chiefs, and be ought to know that there
we're many murmurs Of dissatisfaction against
MIN uuring the war, and that misfortunes after
It's close alone saved him from more open and
general expression OF their dissatisfaction with
his course"

can Unnecessary Temperance Is what the
New York Tribune styles Mr.. Jen. Davis's re-
cent demonstration, and that paper goes on to
read j. ID. lesson, which should open his eyes
as to the position he occupies before the coun-
try. He Is told that he cannot ask any greater
kindness than to be forgotten. His connection
with public affairs has been at the saddest DOS
sible price to his country and his people 1t cost
too much to retire him for us to sit by and see him
return without protest. A post ~ortem by Mr..
Jefferson Davis on his own defunct confederscy
is not desired by the American people He
makes another of his great and woful mistakes
If he supposes the slightest consequence attaches
to himself or his utterances except as they sur
vive unpleasant memories. Mr.. Davis is only
conspicuous Is a failure. Why he failed, or how,
or what be thinks about it, no man cares. His
game Is played, his great stake lost; and lost at
a tremendous sacrifice. No need for him TO
come forward and shuttle over the dead cards
now, protesting that with a new deal he might
win Mr.. Davis's game was finished and his
char set back some years ago. Why does he
come forward now with straws In his hair and
his IDLE tax Of what might have been? The
world has done with him and set him aside.

The investigation into tn, wawaset disaster
closed to-day, and the comm ssion will soon re-
port. No evidence was elic ed to-day to show
how the fire originated, although the nremen
were closely questioned, and IL remains as
much mystery a. ever. The testimony to-day
seemed to establish pretty conclusively that the
steamboat company had every reason TO sup
pose that they were entitled to carry 80 pas
sengers, and that the designation of fifty In the
Custom-hOuse records was q verbal error
There has been no question, however, on the
part OF those familiar with the size of the Wa
waset that she was fully qualified to carry the
larger number named. There is no doubt,
either, wherever the blame of the disaster
may be, that the boat had been carefully and
fully equipped for work by her owners.
The experience of the wawaset has, however,
demonstrated tn lat the private rooms of the fire.
men and OF all the crew, In fact, should be on
deck and Tot below. In the case Of the Wa
vaset the weight OF the testimony is to the
effect that the fire originated In the firemens
room forward Of the engine, where 1t had q
chance to get full Roadway undiscovered The
supposition is that 1t caught from matches, or
fire dropped from pipe. Had this room been
on deck the fire would have been discovered
before IL had seized possession Of the whole in
terror of the vessel.

The Graphic balloon is to start on or before
the 10th of September, but the various sdyen-
turous gentlemen who were willing TO risk their
necks as passengers are doomed to disappoint-
ment In order to reduce the expense of max
ing the balloon, from s1O, 900 to SO 900, it has
been necessary TO make the gas bag of muslin
instead of silk, and this fabric, with its seven
coats Of varnish, will be 80 heavy that about
1000 pounds Of ballast and half the conte m
plated number Of aeronauts will have to be dis
pensed with. The only persons Who are to 20
are Prof. Wise, Prof. Donaldson, q reporter for
the Graphic, and meteorologist. The increased
weight Of the balloon has induced the making
OF the car in sections, 80 that In case a contin-
gency should arise for less ballast the car could
be taken apart and pitched overheard, and the
aeronauts take their places in the boats, which
are to be suspended below the car. Prof. Wise
is Of the opinion that he can reach the shores Of
Europe in forty hours, IL the wind Is propitious,
though the time given out 10 seventy hours. 1t
Is apt to /. more than less, most people will
think.

The compromising advantages from the late

camp meetings say that they did not suffer
much. No damage was done by the sudden
Ireshets, but in the cities general clearance of

all kinds are In fact safe, and the grass win be
green and afford pasture far into autumn.
