The TRouBLE.-The Mayor OF
Ottawa, made a statement at q
temperance meeting, which was
held in that place last week, which
explains the reason why temper
ance laws cannot be enforced. lie
said in his remarks that during the
short season OF no licensed DRAM
shops in that city, a councilman
said to him, al get my drinks as
regularly as ever did under the IL
cense system" The Mayor asked
IL he would make AN affidavit TO
that effect? "Oh, no." was the re-
ply, al will never betray my
trust. That would be dishonest -
The Mayor gave such honorable
gentlemen terrible scorching,
just such an one as they deserve.
Men who are in favor of licen-
ing dramshops, love to say, ''there
Is more liquor drunk under the
anti-licensed system than the 9TH
err" and they know how to make it
good. They like to say further
more, you can't enforce your liquor
laws; and they know how to pre-
vent 1t. Shame on such "honesty,' y
as the Mayor ironically called it.

The Democrats in some localities
have made a terrible effort to ma
nipulate the "ground swell7 of the
Patrons; but they will have to
stand off now. Every Democrat in
Congress, save five, voted against
McCrary's bill to regulate commerce
by railways. They make poor re-
formers. The truth of the matter is
there is nothing progressive about
Democracy. A new idea is too
much for u real Democrat. We
heard one say several years ago
that he was opposed to innovation.

That is the spirit of Democracy.

CRIME AND INsANlTY.-The following eX-
tract from long article in the Popular
Science Monhly for May bears upon SUBJ
jet that is of interest to Richmond people
just now. 1t seems to hit the nail on the
head:
The falseness of the legal position will ap-
pear at once if we suppose case of poison
ing instead Of a case Of mental arrangement.
What would be thought of a judge who.
when medical evidence Of poisoning was
given should instruct the jury, as princi-
pie of law, that they must be governed in
their verdict by the presence or absence of q
particular symptom? '.If the tests Of in
sanity are matters of law, the practice Of al
lowing experts to testify what they are
should be discontinued. If they are matters
of fact, the judge should no longer testify
without being sworn as witness, and show
ing himself qualified to testify as an eX.
pert" But, in TRUTH, the tests of insanity
are no more matters of law than are the tests
Of 4 poison or the symptoms of disease. III
jury were instructed that certain NANTES.
tations were symptoms or tests Of consump-
tion, cholera, congestion, or poison, YER
dict rendered in accordance with such in.
structions would be set aside, not because
they were not correct, but because the ques'
ton Of their correctness vas one of fact to
be determined by the jury upon evidence
