The Jag Cure Law Unconstitutional.

Some three years ago DIR. j. D.
Dunlop, of this city, made known
discovery of a cure for drunken
ness. The right to administer the
system was obtained by certain cit
liens, chief of whom is j. D. Turn
bull, and who organized a company
for carrying on the cure of drunk
ards-a very worthy motive. The
company was incorporated under
the name of the Happy Home Club
of America, with J. d. Turnbull as
chief director. The headquarters
were located in this city, but many
branch clubs were organized in va
rious parts of the state. Many
drunkards were reclaimed from
their degraded state, some of which
have relapsed to their former condi-
ton, but as to the number who have
abstained from alcoholic and spirit
Gus drinks since they took the Dun
lop cure, we have no knowledge.
In the fall of 1892, j. d. Turn
bull was elected state senator for
this district, and during the session
of the Legislature, in 1898, he man.
aged to get p bill through the leg
islature, known as Act No. 207,
which authorized courts, justices
of the peace and police justices of
this state to permit those charged
and complained against as disorder
ly persons on account Of drunken
ness or intoxication, to give spec
ial recognizance conditioned for
such persons taking the cure for
such drunkenness and intoxication
and for the adjournment of such
case against such person for a lin
tied time for this purpose, and to
provide means for carrying out the
same"
The bill provided that justice
could sentence person who had
been arrested on charge of drunk
enness and brought before him for
examination, to take the liquor cure
in place of fine or imprisonment,
and clause in the bill provided
that the expense of the treatment
should be paid by the county, if the
person so sentenced was in INDECENT
circumstances and unable to pay
the expense of the treatment. The
liquor cure was to be administered
by a corporation organized under
the laws Of the state, and the ex-
pense was not to exceed $40. The
Happy Home Club was the only
one organized under the laws of
this state, and consequently was
the only one that could administer
the cure in such cases.
The first case tried under the Jag
law was that of Richard Kelly, who
was brought before justice and
given the choice of the usual SEN
tence or to take the Dunlop cure.
He choose the cure, and a bill for
the expense was presented to the
Alpena Board of Supervisors. They
refused to pay it, and the Circuit
Judge was asked to issue an order
compelling the Board of supervisors
to pay the bill, which order was is
sued and served on the board.
The case was appealed to the Su-
preme Court, and last week that
body declared the jag cure law I'M
constitutional, saying that it 'per-
mits unofficial persons to prescribe
rules which shall acquit persons
charged with crime. These rules,
from the nature of the case, cannot
be made uniform. It is not the
province of the Legislature to dele
gate to private corporations the
power to make laws for the dis
charge of offenders"

CASE DISMISSED.
No Disintcrested Witnesses SAW nr.
Brady Knocked Down.

Judge Miller today heard evidence in the
case Of the young man Timothy McCarty
| charged with assault and reckless driving
on the 10th of April at New York avenue
and 18th street. when Mr.. NJ. b. Brady. the
photographer, was knocked down and seri-
ously injured. as printed in The Star at the
time. Mr.. Bradys ankle was broken and he
| is now using clutches. There was an alb
sence of proof TO show airy reckIessness on
the part of the defendant. MIR. Brady told
Of the accident, but could not say anything
about the speed OF the horse. He was Crosse
ing from the car track, going in the direc-
ton Of riggs Bank, at the time he was
struck and knocked down The driver did
rot stop
Detective Lacy was also a witness On
the evening OF the occurrence he was stand
ms on the corner When he heard some one
make an cutlery he looked around and saw
Mr.. Brady lying in the street, where he had
been knocked down. He saw the carriage
moving away.
The only other witnesses called were the
young men who were in the carriage with
The defendant at the time of the accident.
They said that Mr.. McCarty was perfectly
sober and they were goir g out for short
oriNe. 1t was just about dark when the
cldent happened. and the witnesses said
that he was not driving fast
But Mr. Pugh called the courts atrc--<sen
10 the police regulations, a section of which
provides that drivers of vehicles must make
way at street crossings fer pedestrians The
charge against the defendant included this
section, and Mr.. Pugh made a lengthy ar
gument In support Of the Districts side Of
the case. IL was argued by Mr.. Shllington
mat Mr.. Brady was not struck on a street
crossing, DIS meant by the law The wit
nesses had located the affair in the street
north OF the railroad tracks and south OF
the New York avenue curb line and counsel
contended that the crossing was from curb

Regulate Travel by TroIleys.

Among the questions that are quite
certain to come before the next legisla-
ture is one of rapidly growing interest
and importance-the regulation of the
trolley. With avenues of electric tran
sit multiplying on every hand and in
every direction; with the volume of liti-
cation from this source increasing
every second and with swelling chorus
of urban complaint at the rapacity, in
efficiency or carelessness of the troll
ley companies before It as an impress
sive reminder, the legislature at its
forthcoming session cannot easily es-
cape from its obvious responsibility in
these premises. 1t will be expected to
formulate general laws regulating the
rights Of passengers and property own
ers which are almost entirely absent
from the statue book today, because
not deemed necessary under the condi-
tions of steam travel; and it will be ex-
pected, also, while formulating these
laws, to bear in mind the interests Of
hhc pcOpiC 40 WclA tuS intGlcbtb VI
the carrier corporations.
The state of New Jersey offers one or
two good suggestions in this direction.
Last year its legislature passed law
requiring street railway companies to
obtain the consent Of majority of the
property owners along given route be-
fore track could be laid or the trolley
system introduced. 1t occurs to us that
this kind of law in Pennsylvania would
do away with one very common source
Of complaint and be decidedly more
satisfactory than the present arrange
ment whereby corrupt or careless
council may, If It choose, give every
street in any city over, free of cost, to
the purposes Of Traction company
which very seldom is actuated by pure
philanthropy. In similar manner,
the property owners ought to have the
right to decide whether the wires of a

Not Settled. BY a Good Deal.

Moved by the spirit of prophecy
which sometimes settles upon great
minds soon after the occurrence of
some stirring event, the Philadelphia
Inquirer dogmatically says: after
this let us hear no more of free silver
certainly not from any Republican
quarter. All such heresies belong to
the Democrats. Let them have mon
opoly of them. Protection and honest
money will win in 's6 and nothing else
win"
We are reluctant to question a fact
which is thus so decisively and sum-
marily disposed of; nevertheless, 1t
might be well for the Inquirer to at
least let the country come to the bridge
of 1896 before insisting that It shall in
stantly cross 1t. If the Inquirer will
consult the most prominent Republican
leaders of Its own state 1t will doubt
less ascertain that there is Just as

The Prohibition Vote.

The progress of the Prohibition vote in
this state is an interesting study. Its
first gubernatorial nominee, S. B. Chase,
In 1872, out of a total vote of 672, ,SO6, re-
ceived 1859, or less than one-flfth of
per cent. Four years later this vote
grew to 1924 for r. Audley Brown, out
of COS, ,564 votes cast, or a fraction over
per cent. This was the Prohibition
party's halcyon year of growth. At that
time it looked as If it might yet acquire
prominence as a decisive factor in the
situation.
Then came the Hoyt campaign of rs,
in which Franklin H. Lane, with
Greenback, competitor, polled only
1858 out of 702, O3S votes, the merest
fraction above one-half of / per cent.
The Beaver campaign of 1882 brought
five candidates into the field, and Alfred
c. Petit the Temperance nominee,
polled only 5,196 out of 742,9O3 votes,
again considerably less than l per cent.
The marked personal prestige and
popularity of Charles S. Wolfe in 1886
increased the Prohibition vote to 32,45S
out of total of Sl9, ,312 votes, or nearly
4 per cent. Four years ago, with John
D. Gill as the Third party nominee,
Wolfe's vote dwindled down one-half;
or to be exact, to 16, los out of total
vote of 92S, ,196-less than per cent. And
finally, with our own estimable towns
man, Mr.. Hawley, as the standard
bearer in the contest ended last Tues
day, the Prohibition vote is only IS, 43O
out of total of 935, ,1s5, again less than
per cent.
To the unbiased mind, a study of
these figures will, we believe, indicate
that whatever the moral influence of
the Prohibition party and however es-
timable the personnel of its member
ship, it is not what can fairly be called,
in the ordinary significance of the term,
a winning party. There is today less
sign Of a general dissolution of the old
parties in its favor than there ever has
been. Neither is it's growth sufficient
to justify the hope that at some remote
day it will have reached commanding
position by the law Of mathematical in
crease. One cannot withhold admira-
ton from the small but earnest band of
men who year after year cling to this
partisan faith with something of the
fine zeal that the early Crusaders clung
to the hope of rescuing Jerusalem from
the Infidel. But, in the cold view of
latter-day utilitarianism, what does 1t
profit them? What do they expect to
achieve?
