Let Rum Paw It's Own Bills.

The dozen or two of men who were so unfor-
tunate as to be obliged to brave the heat and
appear in the Winchester county court room
yesterday morning, were witnesses OF a scene
which though pathetic, moved nearly all to in
tense indignation An old man 80 years of
age had been summoned by the overseers of
the poor of the town of Portchester, who want
ed him to provide for drunken, worthless
son 80 years of age. The defendant claimed,
and no one disputed it, that his income was
not sufficient to maintain the family dependent
upon him, among whom were blind son and
a daughter subject to fits. With choking ut
terance he tried to tell how much he had done
for the drunken son, whose maintenance the
town was trying to avoid Judge Clifford con-
trolled the feeling with which The spectacle
filled him. in common with the spectators, but
he finally declined to grant the order asked for.
"The town, he said, has licensed the establish
ments where this mans son buys his rum, so
the town must take care of the drunkard. L
cannot order a man of 50 to provide for son
who but for rum could, and would now, be
caring for his father" One of the spectators
applauded as loudly as he dared behind an
open copy of the Herald and lawyers who
were accustomed to some of the severe DEGREES
of the law, said one to another, that the
judges logic was unanswerable. Rum should
pay it's own bills for damages to society, and
towns that license the sale Of rum should be
compelled to support the victims OF the traffic.
