A LOCALIZED CRIME.

Recently, as I was waiting in the ferry
house on the other side of the river, young
man came in there, or was brought in, SO
much under the influence of liquor that he
could not hold his head up and every spas
modic effort he made to do SO was failure
1t was pitiable sight. When it was time
for the boat to start a man, who, from his
dress, appeared to be an officer of some kind,
took the poor wretch by main force, almost
carrying him, and placed him on the boat
outside of the cabin, although it was bitterly
cold What became of him after getting to
the Camden ferry l do not know But it
occurred to me unless some one took care of
him, for he was utterly incapable of taking
care of himself, harm would befall him.
This may not have been the case. 1t may be
that the same person who brought him on the
boat took care of him. But what want to
get at is to ask the question: suppose this had
been the case, as it might have been and no
doubt does sometimes occur, Who would have
been responsible for that mans death?
If druggist sells arsenic or strychnine to a
person, and he takes it and thus destroys his
life, is it not probable that complaint would
be made and an inquiry instituted as to who
sold the poison, and, if not in accordance
with the laws regulating the sale Of the arti-
Gle, would not the seller be amenable to the
law and be punished for selling it !? If so, is
not the person who sells intoxicating liquor
equally guilty, at least morally, if a mans life
is put in jeopardy by the use of the poison of
alcohol? Or, if he dies, is the seller NOT
guilty of constructive murder, though he may
not have transgressed the law, as he is Ii
censed to sell has poison freely, whilst the
dispenser of arsenic is subject to strict law
regulations?
have long been of the opinion that wher
man is overcome with strong drink, and is
arrested, fined, or imprisoned, he is tbs
wrong man to be thus treated. 1t should bt

Of the work of the present session of the
legislature the True Americtsp says: First
and foremost an avalanche of constitutional
amendments is threatened The Prohibition
lists propose to come forward with their
amendment of last year. portion of the
bar want an amendment recognizing radi-
cally the entire judicial system. An amend
ment is projected to enable a change in the
jury system. rendering an unanimous verdict
unnecessary. There is demand from some
quarters for an amendment doing away with
equal representation of counties in the SEN
ate and creating senatorial districts based on
population, thus doing away with the vital
difference between the senate and the house,
creating two bodies representing population
and removing the check upon majorities
which the present system affords. Finally it
is proposed to do away, by amendment, with
the amendment adopted few years ago with
SO much unanimity, prohibiting special legis-
lation."

Temperance men should beware of the high

high license. A subsidized press with hire

prise the advocates of the high license system.
These, one and all, derive their support from
the rum oligarchy. Is it any wonder that
abuse is heaped upon us by these men, whose

At the recent Baptist Missionary Confer
ence in India, it was resolved that all mission
airy agents and all members of the churches
should discontinue and discourage the use of
all intoxicants. Only three dissentionists
voted against the resolution. Ten years ago,
says the Indian Baptist, probably half the
members would have voted against it. But

tan men in India as it is at home

The official census recently taken in
China for the purpose of taxation shows
a total population 255, 100000. This
does not include the Monaghan and
other outlying dependencies of the En-
pire, but only the eighteen provinces of
China proper. Nor does it embrace the
aboriginal tribes which exist in very
considerable numbers in the Island of
Formosa and in many provinces. Max
ing due allowance for all these, for the
Monaghan dependencies and for the
under-statement due to the purpose for
which the census was taken, it is prob
able that the sum total of the population
of China really exceeds S00,0O0,000.
