Power, too, is eXerted without vote, ana

ger unguarded in such treatment, IL chargeable
with negligence, and answerable for any resulting
i'll consequences
Lawsuits of this nature have been very rare. In
a New-Jersey trial OF dentist for manslaughter
where one OF his patients had died under the adj
ministration of chloroforn and thore was some evil
donce that the dentist did not proper prccau-
tiOns and that he somewhat intox-
icated Mt tho time the Judge told the
Jury that practitioners are only expected
to exercise ordinary skill and. not responsible
for death merely because unusual skill might have
prevented it, In q Pennsylvania case the patient had
previously had severe fall which rendered himlia-
BILE to paralysis and he was therefore, not fit sub
ject for an anesthetic. The dentist. not knowing
this popularity. gave ordinary dose of choro-
FORM and finding this Ineffective gave more. until
1t enoth the expected effect was produced. and the
obnoxious teeth were extracted But next day the
patient had attack of paralysis, which his physi-
clans attributed to the overdose Of chOroOrm and
he sued the the dentist But the Court said that
practitioner Is not responsible for remote or I'M
known causes of injury or for pecuarities Of per-
sonal history or condition which are not explained
to him; but if chloroform is ordinarily proper to be
given in like cases dentist is justified in giving IL.
Some esteemed legal writer's, however, say that
doctor ought to make examination and inquiry be-
fore he administers these dangerous agents.

AN INSULT TO CARISTMAS.TIDE.

| An INSULT To CHhiS IN do-IID''
| II a significant fact that not one voice has
been raised in favor of the Passion Play save
| that of the sacrilegiOus adventurer who mas pro-
posed this insult to the community. Everyone
who has spoken has opposed its production, and
Mr. Morse finds himself forced to retain paid
counsel TO speak word in his behalf. In the
face Of this fact alone, can Mayor Grace hesitate
| IN refuse the license which MI. Morse de-
mapds? At this season the whole world ID
under the purifying influence which sprang
| from the birth of ca rist Money getting Ii 1or
brief time forgotten and every mans better
nature echoes the utterance which has de-
scended through the ages peace and goodwin
| to all mankind.
But the solemn hush, the tranquil joyousness
of Christmas time, is broken by one dlscordant
sound. The shrl voice of Mr.. Salmi Morse is
heard like tire croaking of foul bird, crying
for license that he may fill his pockets by pa
rading before morbid eyes the most sacred ana
awful tragedies Of the life of Him to whom all the
Christian world q. this time renews allegiance.
All others feel the force Of the Christmas spirit
and are swayed by an added reverence for the
Christ who died to save. But Mr. Morse-what
has he to do with such things7 He would have
hired ADVENTURE strut the stage in traNesty
of the Saviour, and gather the outcasts of the
streets in theatrical tinsel TO present novel
spectacle to a gaping mob. Every decent man
holds some things sacred. Love Of mother, wife,
whatever it may be- he would shrink as from the
blacklist infamy from the thought of laying bare
his deepest, hottest thoughts to curious
strangers.
Still more repusive would be the idea of allow
ing his most sacred feelingsto be paroded in pub
lie by strangers for .he sake of gain But the high
est and most sacred form of love that the world
knows is the love of Christ, and everyone, con-
sciously or uncOnsciously, feels its influence,
whatever may be his religious belief. Shall
this love be made a public mOckery? We
hope New-York may be spared this disgrace,
and that Mr.. Morse's license will be refused.

1t seems pretty plain that the methods of
the Mountain Evangelist" the Rev. George
O. Barnes, which so stirred the benighted
State of Kentucky, are not of n nature to Sc
cure substantial success in such cities rs New
York and Brooklyn. In the Southwest he
moved and melted great multitudes by the in-
petuous flow of his oratory. But his Outgiv-
ings are, after all, of the crudest and coalsest
kind, and they have thus far proved almost
entirely barren Of result in this part of the
country.

Sweet Charity is a timely flower at Christ

for its cultivation will be tonnd in our col

Rhode Islanders will rejoice to know that a
new era is about to dawn in the region OF the
Providence Plantations. In the years OF peace

once more fill the Governors chair. The
"aristocracy should set about trembling With
out delay.
The British DominOns just now are being
tried by fire severely. The great fire in Lon
den was followed by the destruction OF the
greater part of Kingston. and close upon these
losses come the damage at Hampton Court and
the destruction Of the cooperative stores at
Dublin. OF the last two, the loss in Dublin VIII
be more severely felt; but the damage to the
tapestries and frescOes in the Royal Palace Will
be more widely lamented Blessed be nothing.
If we have few art treasures in this country we
are at least spared the pain Of seeing them

work he now announces that the scheme Tor

1t makes little difference to those who had paid
their money to hear the FINAL performance Of tho
Mapeson Opera Company, on Saturday afternoon,

his share of criticism In this instance he undOubted
ly deserves the sympathy and support Of all honest
people. He exerted himself TO the utmost on Satur-
day to give performance, but was frustrated by
the capricousness of two of his singers The conse
quence was that 5000 people were not only
cheated out of an afternoons pleasure
and subjected to personal inconvenience,
but an indignty was put upon the muSic-lovlng
section of the community which will not be easily
forgotten. All the charity which surrounds the fes-
tiva of Christmas is not sufficient to wipe out the
remembrance of Saturday afternoon, and Nile. Juch

1t is not often that a police justice INDUCES
in the eccentricity of filming himself, hut that
was the practical result of case disposed OF
by Jus ice Power yesterday When he learned
that the prisoner whom he had lined for drunk
enncss WAS one of his own workmcn, he
promptly paid the fine himself But this was
not heavy drain upon his $4,000 salary, for
which the city gets little return. How much
longer will the taxpayers consent to pay $4,000
u year for ten years to ward politicians for
passing on charges of drunkenness and petty
larceny during an hour or two daily
The friction caused by such enforcement of
the Sunday clauses of the Penal Code as is
attempted, dimnishes daily. There is no great
unhappiness or discomfort except in few pre-
oncts where police captains of limited lntelli-
eence and unlimited Obstinacy are devOtng
their small wits 10 the task of making Sunday
legislation as obnoxious possible. Their
narrow minds do not grasp the thought that
they are making themselves so personally OBJ
noxious that the result must be unfortunate
for them. Our Police Department is cursed
with wOfully large proportion of such duh
incapables as these.
