THE following is taken from the
Chicago Daily Ne,vs and republished
by request of Mr.. J. w. Brandon, o.
Connoquenessing township:
"In the trial of Murphy and Cornir
for the murder of Walsh, in what is
known as the stock-yards homicide, il
was pleaded by the defendants that
they were so drunk at the time of the
killing they knew nothing of it. They
made no denial OF the shooting, but
rested their defense on the ground that
as they were drunk they had no malice,
and consequently were not guilty Of
murder.
This plea of drunkenness on the part
of criminals, when called on to plead
to an indictment for murder, is getting
to be very common. In majority Of
cases it seems 10 be regarded as an ex.
tenuation of an offense, and the defend.
ant receives lower punishment than
he would were the plea not admitted
One would suppose there was some
law for this, or the courts would not
permit evidence of drunkenness to be
introduced as mitigation of the sever
ity of the punishment. But if there be
any such law, or any construction ol
the law which permits drunkenness to
be allowed as mitigation of crime, it
is certainly very much against the in
terests of the public.
1t is fact-a thousand times DEM
onstrated to be o fact-that drunken
ness is the cause of crime. There is
no one so ignorant as to not know this.
Hence every man who gets drunk
knows in advance that be is about to
put himself in position in which he
will be liable to commit murder; and
yet, after getting drunk and killing
some one, he pleads that he was drunk
when he committed the offense, the
Judge permits the plea of drunkenness
to be entered, and the jury takes the
fact into consideration an an extenuat-
ing incident.
The law does too much for the ine-
briate. 1t throws it's protection over
the distillery which makes the poison,
the den which retails it, and the GRIM
inal who commits murder while under
it's influence. The tendency of all this
is to make drunkenness, in sense, re-
spectacle. 1t is all wrong. The man.
ufacture of anything which results in
crime is iniquitous in its nature, and
should be made so by law and public
opinion. When society will inexorably
hang the man who commits murder, no
matter under what circumstances, and
make Infamous and illegal the traffic in,
and manufacture ofthe stimulant which
leads to murder, it will only be doing
what right demands, and which is re-
quired for its own dignity and pro-
lection"

"THE day we celebrate" was not
celebrated in Butler last Wednesday as
it was some years ago. Forty years
ago, and less, all parties, all creeds, all
sexes, and ages and conditions of peo-
pie, met on one common platform and
in one place and celebrated the 4th of
July. A table loaded down with sub
stantials, such as small roasted pigs,
roast beef, boiled hams, potatoes, new
ones if possible, and many other things
was prepared. The Declaration of
Independence" was read; an orator
was chosen; toasts were prepared, and
with a President at one end of the
table and Vice President at the other,
these toasts were read and responded
to by three hearty cheers. They were
generally of the most patriotic charac-
ter, having reference to the battles,
events and men of the Revolution, the
war of 1912, and so forth But all this
is changed-at least in Butler-ard
we are not prepared to say the change
is for the worse Now we have, in
stead, the Sunday school picnics,at and
by which all the children with their
parents are brought together. This
| gives to the day religious influence
and character, and if the Sunday school
picnic was the only one of that name
now in use then the old-time patriot
ism might not be regretted or missed.
| But other innovations have been intro
duced that are not just of Sunday
school character. We need not name
them, but much prefer the old-time 4th
of I,1u colo bro lion fO fhnm

meeting of the democratic State COM
mittee sas held in the parlor of the Augesta
House last evening with closed doors. The
meeting was for organization. and is the
committee which will act during the cam
paign of 1884. Every county was repre-
sented and prominent members of the party
were present from all parts of the State.
MANY democratic members of the legislature
participated. F. B. Torrey, Of Bath, was
elected chairman and L. II. Murch, of Bel
fast, secretary. Much talk was made as to
the present condition and future prospects
of the party. II was confidently believed
that the democracy would be able to carry
two or more of the Congressional districts at
the next election for representatives. Fu-
sion was regarded as bygone and the unan-
imous sentiment was to stick by the Simon
pure democratic principles and fall into line
with the national democracy. 1t was agreed
that a spirit Of conciliation should be mani
tested towards the former greenback wing of
the party, and to retain greenbackers in the
democratic ranks if possible.
