SOME vTEwsOF LOCAL LEGAL LIGHTS

Law Librarian Digby was besieged yester-
day by large number of people. They
were those interested directly and indirectly
in the liquor traffic. Mr.. Digby had just
come into possession of copy of the late
law regulating the business of distillers,
brewers, wholesale dealers and bottlers,
those interested being anxious to get sight
of the regulation which is hereafter to gov
ern more stringently the hitherto partially
free class than retailers are now governed.
As Judge Wilson, of Philadelphia, has al
ready construed the new law, approved on
the 9th ultimo. as applicable in considera-
BILE measure to those VI tely got license,
and as number of laWoss here and else
where are of the same opinion, a full resume
is of interest and here it is:

c. T. McKenna was not so conservative
andSafter promising that a lawyer could not
give much of an opinion on such patch
work he went on to say that the law was
very ambiguous and repugnant legislation
in the first place the court that sits on a
license application must be satisfied. that a
house in the locality named is for the accom-
mediation of the public. Were the drinking
community and travelling meant this would
be understandable, but the public here men
toned would seem to be the people interest
ed in the retail trade as the general public
is supposed to patroniZe wholesale houses
to but u limited extent If they be conducted
according to either the old or the new law
Further along the accommodation of the
general public is in measure forbidden, as
the wholesaler is not allowed to furnish any
accommodation for consumption. Again, it
must be interpreted as diversion in favor
of glass manufacturers, as sales in certain
cases must be in bottles, it being inferen-
TALLY supposable that the same quantity
sold IN jugs would not be allowable. This is
q discrimination not only against potters,
but tlnners as well. Then Mr.. McKenna
observes that the provision as to perjury is
loosely Drawn, no distinction being made
between statements material and these i'm
material, and careless notary or justice of
the peace may involve an innocent man.

here by proclamation in 1890.
Now, Therefore, j, L. Bradford
Prince, governor OF New 1Icxico, do
proclaim and give notice, that
FRIDAY MARCH 10,
IS set apart for Arbor day, to be OBJ
served by the people in the planting OF
trees, for the benefit and adornment OF
public and private grounds, roads,
streets and avenues, and in such other
undertakings as are in harmony with
the general character Of such holiday,
In accordance with the newly enact
cd law, l recommend and enjoin the
due celebration OF the day, on all our
people. The day shall be a holiday in
New Mexico, and school officers and
teachers are required to have it OBJ
served by the schools under their
charge, by the planting Of trees and
other appropriate exercises.
l repeat the suggestion made a
year ago. that trees be planted along
all a%cequias, as this, in d short time,
will entirely change the appearance OF
our valleys, and also afford grateful
shade and refreshment to man and

Saws the Youths Companion: Mel
ancholia is a grave disease, especially
because of it's strange and terrible
tendency to induce suicide and homi-
eide. AS the patients reasoning
processes seem to be perfectly clear,
friends are seldom sufficiently on their
guard. The danger is always present,
however, nor is the highest degree of
intelligence or Of moral worth any
safeguard against it.
The New York Medical Journal has
a report of a lecture on the impor-
tance of recognizing melanchOlia in
earlier stage by Doctor Burnett, lee
turer in the Kansas City Medical Col
lege, of which report we make free
use.
There is marked difference be-
tween sadness and melancholia, says
DR.. Burnett. "In ordinary sadness
there is cause comprehensive to the
individual, and he will seek to remove
it. In melancholia there is no appar-
ant cause; there is some implication
of the higher faculties, and the patient
is usually Indifferent to his condition.
surroundings and future progress"
There are several forms of the
affection: simple melanchOlia, melan-
chOlia agitata, melanchOlia attOnita
and melancholia with stupor. The
first two are the most difficult Of
recognition, and it is these that
especially endanger the lives of the
patient and his friends.
The first important symptom OF
melancholia is sleeplessness. Another
symptom, of the greatest Importance,
is dull pain in the back of the head.
It is only within few years that this
symptom has been recognized. The
third symptom is depression of spirits,
accompanied by slower mental move
ments and retarded speech and actions.
When the first and the last symptoms
are connected with pain in the neck,
the diagnosis may be considered as
conclusive.
In melancholia agitata these three
symptoms are very marked, but it is
not so difficult to diagnose the disease,
since the agitation is of itself a strong
indication. There are generally terri
flying hallicunatiOns, an utter lndltter-
ence to ones self and ones surround
ingS, aversion to food and inability
to sleep, except under the influence Of
drugs.
The propensity to take life may
come on suddenly, or be gradually de-
veloped. 1t is not uncommon to see
melancholiacs whose morbid tenden-
cies are first brought out by some sug-
gestion.
One such patient was thought to
have the "blues," and ON his remark
ing that he wished he was dead, a
friend carelessly said, go throw your
self over the stair railing" He acted
upon the word, fell through three
floors, and was killed.
Every case of melancholia should at
an early date be put into the hands of
a competent physician, who can have
the entire control Of it.
