able to take his ten-mile constitutional

stalwart in health that he won't be ablt

THE DECISION OF JUDGE cox ADVERSE TO TIL
DkFENCF

THE DECISION OF JUDGE cox ADVERSE TO THE
Offence
The testimony was closed in the Guitean trial
Jan 4th Judge Cox having denied the motion OF
the defence for permission to introduce additional
evidence Chief Brooks, of the Secret Service di
vision, TESTIFIED to interviews with GulIeau imme-
diately after The killing The prosecution submit
ted Its quest for instructions to the Jury and an
adjournment followed until Saturday
AT the request of his counsel no person is now
allowed to visit Guiteau He is said to be growing
more serious as the trial approaches conclusion
On Saturday counsel made arguments on the re
quests to the courts to charge on law points Mr.
DaVldge cited authorities to what constitutes
legal insanity. Mr. Reed quoted American deer,
SONS to support his theory Of the law The DTS
oner claimed the benefit of any doubt. and
by shrewd retort shows that he is not now
either fool or lunatic. Mr. Scoville began his
argument
Monday Mr. ScovIe concluded his argument.
and District Attorney Corkhill and Mr. Davdge
addressed the court
Judge Porter argued the case for the prosecution
Tuesday, and his argument is described as remark
ably powerful and eloquent. The assassin att EN- pt
ed to interrupt, but was finally ov+rawed When
Mr.. Porter concluded Judge Cox read his decision
maintaining that the court had jurisdiction. Upon
every material point his rulings were directly
against the prayers of the defence The only
grain of comfort for the prisoner offered when
Judge Cox reached the question of reasonable
doubt.
Upon this subject he said 81 shall not charge
the jury to acqNlt if they find reasonable doubt
as to any one element but shall take into con
sderaton and charge them relative to all the ele
ments and that if from all the circumstances and
the evidence they have a reasonable doubt OF
the commission by the defendant OF the crime he
is charged then they shall acqnit.
As Judge Cox finished speaking Guiteau called
out, Il am perfectly satisfied with that exposition
of the law
After consultation between the counsel the
Court adjourned until Thursday morning when

The Prog. Age an Apologist for Hum
and RoWdylsm.

The Prog. Age asserts that the Jour
nal has made ''persstent attempts OF
late 70 represent to outsiders that Belfast
IS next to the worst place in existence fol
drunkenness and rowdyism." This asser-
ton II simply and unQualtiedIy false
The journal had no thought of outsiders
in calling attention to the drunkenness
on oar streets, and did not address it's re-
marks to them. 1t was the ''nsiders"-
the temperance men and women of our
own city-vhom it sought to arouse to
the necessity for immediate and vigorous
efforts 10 suppress what everybody re-
cognizes as q growing evil. Perhaps we
should modify this statement by saying,
everybody but the rum sellers and the
Prog. Age.
The Journal has neither asserted nor
implied that "Beltast is next to the worst
place in existence for drunkenness and
rowdyism." 50 far from that being the
case, We have published each week, from
Our exchanges, reports of drunkenness,
disorder and rum selling in other towns
and cities, as we'll as the efforts, if any,
made to enforce the laws. The state
mentS concerning drunkenness here can
not be gainsaid. Indeed, even the Age
admits bat there has been "a perceptiult
increase of drunken men on our streets"
Of late, although it seems to think it eX-
cuSable because there has been drunken
ness III other places, and because ladies
were able to do their holiday shopping
without calling on the police for protec-
ton. Whether this drunkenness was
caused as the Age savs-and we admit
that here it may he considered an au-
thority--by 1.-the sale of a rum shop to
new man, who treated all his friends,"o or
by liquor procured in other rum shops,
Is not at all material. But is it not rather
Inconsistent on the part of the Age, after
parading its intimate knowledge of such
a transaction to offer the opinions of
''sober minded people" in the guise of
hackneyed quotation, directed at the
journal, but which is much more appli.
cable to a paper which excuses, if it does
not advocate. the sale and use of liquor
II is because the Journal has at heart the
welfare of Belfast, morally and material
~, that it desires stop put to the sale
Of rum here, and its resultant evils, and
to attain that end it pledges its best en-
deavors.
The nsinuation Of the Age that the
journal espouses the temperance cause
because it is popular, is simply silly.
There is no question the right and wrong
sides Of which are more clearly defined
The evils arising from intemperance are
incalculable. 1t admits of no defence.
The journal advocates temperance be-
cause it is right, and unfortunately the
right is not always the popular side In
this case, the fact that the Age has de-
liberately chosen to become the apologst
for drunkenness and rowdyism is con-
vincng proof that it believes that to be
the popular side, although morally the
wrong side. We are quite willing to
share with our neighbor all the popular
ity that may result from advocating the
temperance cause, and will cheerfully
record its conversion to the right side.

recent Washington despatch stated
that Maine politicians are making
strong effort to get the Commissioner OF
Pensions to recommend the establish

to make place for Ex-Governor Selden

necessary. would cost about $4,000 a

to be afraid TO recommend it. The Ken
