DRUNKENNESS A CRIME.
A bill introduced by Senator

DRUNKENNESS A CRIME.
A bill introduced by Senator
6cheffer has become a law making
adrnnksnness a crime. Judge Sew
erance~ wrote an earnest letter in
favor of the measure. We quote
a few sentences "You have COM
menced at the right end Of the
question. The excessive
use Of Intoxicating liquors is not
only an attempt to commit suicide,
but it is suicide. *<~ This idea
of exempting drunkards from
blame by reason of. their condition
and charging the whole thing 20
tho liquor seller, is not only illogi-
cal, but it makes a whimpering calf
of every man who would, crafty.
. morbid taste, then shiifk his res
possibility and charge it to some
body else. Nothing substantial can
be done in the way of temperance
until drunkenness is made dis
graceful"
We are not opposed to this meas
ure, for drunkenness is both dis
graceful and criminal, whether the
Legislature declare it to be so or
not. But this law is no novelty. It
is as cid as human government it.
self. Judge Severance, in a part
of his letter not quoted above,
says: "The Aztecs punished
drunkenness with death, and in
Rome, under the Republic, the use
of liquor by minor of either sex,
was visited by the severest penal
ties" Minnesota is singular in
deed if this is her first statutory
declaration that drunkenness is
punishable offense. AS a practical
check, however, it will, in Minne-
sofa, do just what it has done, and
no more. It will be enforced no
more and no better than it has been
in other States. The debauchee of
wealth and social standing will go
home from his revelries, without
molestation. When the same GRIM
inal shall become poor, besotted,
blear-eyed and loathesome, he will
be sent to Jail.
Nevertheless the statute is true
and right. Drunkenness is shame
full and criminal, and ought to: be
punished. AS Judge Severance
intimates, it is starting "at the
right end of the temperance ques-
tion." Follow up this beginning
logically, as we aim to do in case of
other crimes. Follow along the line
until all criminal accessories, be-
fore and after the fact, as the law
yers say, shall also be reached and
punished. This will satisfy the
demands of reasonable men. But
a stop cannot be made even at the
right end. We must go to the end
of the line, or this legislation will be
not only inefficient but ridiculous.
To punish drunkenness as crime,
without curbing or preventing the
which create and multiply
the crime, would be as ridiculous
as to allow men to scatter an infec-
ton and then punish its victims
for becoming sick and loathesome,

BELIEVE THE BEST.

He who thinks better of his neighbors
than they deserve cannot be a bad man.
for the standard by which his judgment
is formed is the goodness of his own
heart. 1t is the base only who believe
all men base-or, in other words, like
themselves. Few, however, are all evil.
Even Nero did good turn to somebody
for when Rome was rejoicing over his
death, some loving hand covered his
grave with flowers. Public men are
seldom or never fairly judged, at least
while living. However pure, they can
not escape the calumny; however incor-
rect, they are sure to find eulogists.
History may do them justice, but they
rarely get it while alive, either from
friend OF foe.

Dr. Higbee was born in Burlington,

went to Emmittsburg, Md, where his

PUNISHED A WIFE BEATER.
A Wilkesbarre Alderman's New Way OF
Dealing With Women Prosecutors.

A WnkesDarre Alderman's New way Of
Dealing With Women Prosecutors.
WLKESBARRE, Dec. 14.-George Shi-
ner, boiler maker, was before Alder
man Donohue yesterday afternoon,
charged with beating and deserting his
invalid wife. Donohue does not like
wife-beaters. When Sinner was ar
raigned and the facts were brought out,
the magistrate resolved to inf1ict punish
ment that would make an impression
Getting down from his official seat, he
locked the doors, pulled off his coat,
ordered Sinner to do the same, and then
and there, on the official floor and in the
presence of 200 spectators, gave the wife
beater as thorough licking as any man
ever got.
Though Sinner was game, and fought
hard, the alderman thrashed him until
every bone in his body ached. Painting
with his exertions Donohue resumed his
seat There, you miserable ruffian, -
he said, Ego home now and look after
your wife and children" Sinner prom
ised to reform and shuff1ed off THAT
the way l propose to treat all wife
beaters and deserters in the future, ="
said the alderman. ''It is the best way
to punish them, saves costs to the county
and is better than putting them in jail
and letting their families starve while
they are there

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-The search
for Mr.. Ditman in the Schuylkill river
has been abandoned and Capt. Chasteau
has ordered the boats to shore with all
their apparatus, and the diver has also
ceased his efforts. This order was
issued owing to reports made to Capt.
Chasteau by the park guards and the
diver that they were convinced that Mr..
Ditman's body was not in the river. A
thorough search was made of the river
front where the first wheel marks were
seen and continued over the whole river
down to point near Girard avenue
bridge and from shore to shore, but
failed to bring anything to the surface
or any indications that the body was in
the river

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16-The body of
Franklin B. Gowen arrived from Wash
ington yesterday and was conveyed to
the Eome of the family at Mt. Airy The
funeral will Ike place on Tuesday, and
the family desire that it be strictly pri-
vate. Only the relatives, the clergymen
and the family are expected 10 attend.
The interment will be at Ivy Hill ceme-
terry.
Nothing can be learned to throw light
on the suicide. The members of the
family will not converse on the subject.
1t is learned. however. that a fortnight
ago Mr.. Gowen, when leaving this city
for his suburbrn residence, boarded the
wrong train and was carried some dis
tance out of his way before he dis
covered his mistake. This may, per-
haps. be taken as indicating that his
perceptions were beginning to grow less
keen and as supporting the theory that
the suicide was due to alteration of the
mind. 1t is said that Mrs Gowen told a
close friend of the family that for ten
days previous to her husbands last visit
to Washington she had noticed some
thing strange in his conduct. 1t is
thought by many here that Mr.. Gowen's
mind became unbalanced through too
close application 10 business. and that
the suicide was dsAe to this cause.

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.

Washington Letter in New York Herald.
The average age of the new members
of the House is not more than 40 years
This fact furnishes strong proof that the
present is an era of young men. 1t was
not always so. a quarter of century
ago an impression existed that to be a
legislator one must have reached ma
ture age; that to properly discharge the
duties of the position one should be at
least 50, and it were better if he were
80 years of age. Since then the average
has been falling, until at the present
time the House contains score of men
whose ages are less than 40, and proba
bly, thrice that many who do not exceed
that age.
The majority of the young men come
from the West, showing that the youth
of the country Is and 20 years ago were
quick to follow Horace Greeley's advice
and find homes for themselves far re-
moved from the efete civilization of the
oyercrowded East.
