HTEE-NHODTINH,

At intervals some husband shoots his wife,
and nine times out of ten it tn Ds out that the
shooter in these cases is worthless wretch,
whose wife had been forced to leave him be-
cause he drank and would not work, OF
becanse he beat her and lived on her earnings.
Among certain class it is quite common to
find husbands arragned for assauiting their
wives, the ground bring refusal on the part
of the victim to furnish beer money. In these
cases. as in the homcidal assaults, the outrage
is really committed because the perpetrator
resents the superiority of his wife to himself.
He knows that he is lOafrr, a brute.
degraded creature. He knows that she is tenn
perate, Industrious, patient Her virtues throw
his vices into stronger relief, and by bringing
ont their ugiest features make him hateful to
himself. Bnt the man upon whom this opera
ton is performed is never the better for 1t; for
being what he is, the emphasizing OF his mean
ness only aggravates his malign endencies'
aud canses him to rage against the innocent
and unconscious accuser.
The man " ho shot his wife in Central Park the
other day has admitted that he had no cause
whatever for anger against her. According to
his story she had, however, been compelled by
his dissipation to leave him, and no doubt the
fact that his own fault led to the separation
infamed him against her. 1t is one OF the
peculiarties of human nature which tend to
reinforce the theological dogmas of original
sin and total depravity, that men always are
prone to hate those whom they have injured.
The constant reminder, through the appear
ance of their victims that they have done base
or cruel things, irritates instead of s,fteniDg
them and so it is that so many blackguards
and ruffians come to make murderous attacks
upon the poor women whose chief fault Is the
ipconsidera1eness in which led them to ally their
destinies with men they knew too little about.
1t is curious fact also that wives thus
assaulted seldom, if they recover, harbor any
resentment against their assailants. Whether
they proceed on the principle of the woman
who declared that her husband had ceased to
love her because he had ceased to beat her, is
cuDjectural, but there certainly is some ground
for concluding that wives occasionally regard
such assaults as merely rather violent attei-
tions; painful and embarrassing, no doubt, but
nevertheless IN some sort evidence Of attach
nlent.
New-York tribune., 1886-11-11
TIE ORIGIN or THE MAINE Law


The recent publication of a pamphlet entitled
aThe Origin of the Maine Law and of Prohibi-
tive Legislation, with brief memoir Of James
Appleton" appears TO demonstrate singular
lack of careful research in the compilers of
the report of the Centennial Temperance Con-
vention of 1885. This report was published
under the general title A Hundred Years OF
Temperance" 1t purports to be an exact aud
trustw orthy history of the subject with which
it IS concerned Yet in following the current
popular account which ascriOes to Neal Dow
the honor and credit of originating the Maine
Law, the official historians of Prohibition seem
chargeabe with neglect of easily attainab BILE
evidence the omission of which involves
serious injustice to pioneer in the cause OF
temperance whose eforts antedate those OF
General Dow by many years. The pamphlet
referred to has been prepared by MIR. ID. +.
Appleton. who is very properly unwilling that
the services of his father to The cause should be
thus strangely ignored. The testimony brought
forward by him is of kind to admit Of no
doubt, moreover, and the publicity of General
AppetOn's acts renders the neglect of his
record the more surprising.
1t appears that as far back as 1882 General
Appleton became convinced of the necessity of
Prohibition. Public sentiment at that time
was 80 little educated in regard to temperance
that almost any proposition looking to the
restriction OF the drink evil Was sure to be
denounced and rejected. Realizing the weight
OF the popular opposition, tire General drew up
a petition asking for law prohibiting the sale
of alcoholic liquors in less quantities than
thirty gallons. His idea Was that such a re-
striction would prevent the weakest and most
helpless drinkers from pursuing Incorporate
courses. Tbs proposal, however, was received
with strong disfavor, and there seems no cer-
talnty that the petition was presented. General
Appleton himself soon came to regret having
suggested any kind OF a compromise, being
convinced that absolute prohibition v AZ the
only policy to be urged. The petition, never
thcless, is good reading even now, for it
presents the case against drink almost as
strongly as ii could be put. In 1896 General
Appleton was elected member OF the Maine
Legs. ature. and petition on the license laws
being referred to u committee OF wkch no was
chairman, the opportunity was afforded him to
speak his mind on the question, and to do 80
with u certain authority which might add
weight to his utterances. Accordingly he
drew up report in which the whole ground
was covered. Al his son saysi HThereport
