WHISKY INSANITY.
Probable Liae Of Defense In the
Ease OF Crowley.


While il is an axiom Of law that
drunkenness is no excuse for crime,
the rule, at least, in this State, is not
extended to the mental condition Of
the defendant which is superinduced
by the prolonged and excessive use Of
spirituous liquor. That is to say, il a
man who is simply drunk commits a
crime, he is held accountable therefor /;
but if an extended spree has so I'M
balanced his mind as to result in
mania a potu, he is generally acquitted
upon the plea OF temporary insanity.
This will probably be the line of de-
Tense in the Ease of Crowley, the
slayer of Nichols, at Virginia City. 1t
appears from the published accounts
OF the affair that Crowley had been
drinking excessively for several DAYS;
that he had slept but a few hours dur
ing that time, and that he appeared
nervous and excited when he went on
shift, just previous to the commission
OF the murderous act for which he
will be tried. His attoneys will
doubtless use these facts in e~xtenua-
ton Of the act, and plead the defend
ants responsibility, upon the ground
that his mental condition was such as
to place him outside Of the pale OF the
law, which is not presumed to infict
its penalties upon those who are
Dereft OF reason.
This is all wrong, and although the
rule may be in accordance with the
existing law, there should be a statu-
tory enactment which would forbid
such a construction and which would
hold accountable every person for the
deeds committed, even when laboring
under such temporary insanity as was
caused by his own involuntary act. A
is not insane when he enters
upon the excuses which lead to de-
lirium tremens, and he should be held
responsible for the acts be may
commit while in the condition he has
thus brought upon himself. Our OBJ
servations Of similar cases in the past
in this State, however, makes us ex-
doubtful whether Crowley |
will v be punished in accordance
the magnitude of the crime he
has committed, and his case would
not be without precedent il it should
in absolute acquittal after
ten or twelve months confinement in
county jail.-Reno Journal.

The work OF q rhunderboidt.

A. H. Davis reports at Carson that a
terrific thunder storm passed through
Jacks Valley last Friday week. A
thunderboldt struck 60 feet from him,
throwing him from his buggy and
knocking him senseless. The horse
was paralyzed for 20 minutes. Rocks
we're upheaved, and the sand was
thrown 100 feet in the air. Trees were
torn up and the ground was rent ten
feet deep. Two Piute Indians and
two COWS are reported to have been
killed further up the valley. The
thunderclould was about an acre in
extent.

Protesting Az ainst tue Census.

Protests against the census increase
in number and in angry emphasis.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
denounces it as an Enthusiastically
farce. The Governor OF Colorado has
called the people together to demand
a recount and refuse to submit to an
enumeration so criminally erroneous.
Portland, Oregon, has chased the
Census Supervisor out OF his Office and
out of town. In Richmond, Va, the
city government has employed the
police in an enumeration which shows
the most glaring frauds in that made
by the census officers. Yet, says the
Alta, upon such work as this repre-
sentation in the House is to be based
for ten years.

Lei the People Know what You

The Lyon County Times says there

We hear OF a number of parties who

and announce themselves. This is a
bad way Of making a fight for a place

go after it as though it was worth hav-
ing instead of expecting that it will be
thrown at you. Let the people know
what you want, and if they want you
they will. say SO at the polls.

Colorado proposes to duplicate the
mineral palace at Pueblo at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. The palace
will be 242 feet in length, 12S feet in
width and 76 feet in height and will
be constructed exclusively of the
mineral products of Colorado. 1t is
probable that Nevada, the State that
has contributed five times the amount
of gold and silver to the worlds
wealth that Colorado has, will be rep
resented by a small packing case Of

Another Branch of the Case Taken
Up-A Newspaper Man Examined
WASHINGTON, Sept, 27.-The special
House committee appointed to investigate
charges against Pension Commissioner
Raum was reconvened this morning to in
quire into another branch of the case con-
nected with the internal administration of
the pension bureau, the course suggested by
the New York Tribune. NJ. G. Seeken-
dorff, chief correspondent of the Tribune,
was called to the stand, and testified that
he had sent the articles referred to.
The commissioner did not see what the
articles had to do with Investigation ordered
by the House, but when the chairman re-
piled that 1t was important to ascertain
whether be had been intimidating witnesses.
he acquiesced and the examination pro-
ceeded.
The witness testified that he believed the
articles to be true, but respectfully de-
clined to name his sources Of inforuztio n.
To do so would be violation Of confidence.
The committee labored with the correspond
dent for some time, but the utmost conces-
sion witness would make was to promise to
consult with his informants and ask per-
mission to name them to the committee
The committee adjourned until NJ onday,

country from the provision Of the bill. His
opinion was that the provision was brutum
Jutnlen. He objected TO the provision be-
cause it inaugursted a system that was in
violation OF the Constitution. The bill pro-
posed to invent the President with the power
to enact laws; and he was opposed to giving
the President such power.
APoLITICAL A MAKEsHIFT.
Mr.. Herbert said that the reciprocity
feature Of the bill was a mere political
makeshift, in that it was good enough until
after the election, and utterly worthless for
any practical purpose.
Mr.. Cummings OF New York declared
that the doctrine of American protection
was the most pernicious that had ever per-
meated the American people. Inveighing
against the protective system, he said that
the decay Of the agricultural interests
OF the country gave the lie 20 the
statement that protection was for the bene-
fit OF the farmer. This bill was not a pro-
lection to industry. but was deprivation
OF markets. 1t was self-destroying. But
the whistle of this tariff locomotive was
screaming; gagged and bound, he was still
an unwilling passenger on this congressional
limited marauding Mckinley train.
NEARING THE JUMPING-oFF PLACE.
The downeast engine of this iuggernaut
express had thrown the throttle open, the
Illinois stoker was shoveling in coal, the
Buckeye conductor was punching tickets.
and the protection hoodlums were filling
the air with wild hurrahs. The train was
nearing turn where it would certainly
jump track.
Debate was continued in opposition TO the
bill by Messrs. Fitch and Covert of New
York, Wilkinson of Louisiana Grain of
Texas, McAdoo of New Jersey and McMil-
lin of Tennessee, and in favor of it by
Messrs, Peters of Kansas. Sweeny and Dol
liver OF Iowa, Hit of Illinois, Cutcheon of
Michigan. Gambler of Massachusetts, Evans
of Tennessee. Gear of Iowa, Morse of Mas
sachusetts, Lind of Minnesota and Dingley
of Maine.
Mr.. McMIllin asserted that the bill as
agreed to increased by 81 the tax paid by
every Caucausian, negro man, woman and
child in the land. Referring to the recipro-
city amendment. he declared that the re-
eiprocity provision of the bill was cow
ardly surrender of the highest prerogative
Of the House. The bill gave the President
power not exercised by the Gar of Russia.
He appealed from the majority of the
House to people who made and unmade
congresses. Applause on the democratic
| side.l
THE BILL PASSED.
Mr.. Mckinley closed the debate in a
speech in favor of the bill, and at its con-
clusion demanded the previous question,
amid applause on the republican side The
previous question was ordered-yeas Isl
| nays 70. The conference report was then
agreed to-yeas 152, (the speaker voting in
the affirmative nays 81. The only de-
Walton from strict party vote was on
the part of Messrs. Coleman, Featherston
and Kelley. who voted with the democrats
In the negative.
Mr.. Mckinley then reported from the
committee on ways and means a resolution
providing for final adjournment on Tues
day next, and it was adopted, and the
House at $50 adjourned.
