INSANITY AND CRIME. :.

There have been several murder trials of
late In which counsel for the defense sought
to interpose the inebriation of their clients
at the time of the commission OF the crime
as a plea in mitigation, If not as ground
for instructions to acquit. In one case
counsel requested that the court instruct
the Jury that Inherited appetite for strong
drink amountsto andisease which incapaci-
tates the persan snafflicted for the exercise
of bis Will power, and makes him morally
irresponsible for his action. The court re-
fused to SO instruct, and has just been sus-
tanned by the supreme court of the State.
Drunkenness should never be admitted
in eXtenuation of any breach of the law,
much-less Of tue taking OF human life; on
the contrary, it ought to be regarded as
an aggravation OF the offense. Too many
Instances are on record of men having Piled
themselves. with liquor to screw up their
courage to the numbering point, and thus
fortified sallying forth to do the deed.
OF course, there are men, who in their
normal state are kind, harmless, even
gentle, hut whom liquor changes into very
demons, and makes fit for any crime. But
even these are not eXcusable. Knowing
how liquor affects them they have no
right to drink: if they do and break law,
both human and divine, they should be
made to suffer for it,
That insanity which renders a person
irresponsible as to any act of his, is readily
defined, though the nice distinctions OF
the modern alienist are calculated, If not
intended, to confuse the Judgment Of the
iury.

People purchase securities as an invest
ment and not as members of any particular
nation. For the last four years a feeling
has prevailed abroad that American securi-
ties are not entirely safe, and foreigners
who have invested in them have always
been eager to sell at the slightest loss of
confidence. This feeling has been aggra-
waited by the action of Congress in appoint
ing the Venezuelan commission, and in
response to the belief that war is imminent
English holders have deemed it prudent to
dispose Of our securities at the earliest
possible moment. This feeling is natural

imagine their Investments are being jeopar-

These refusals OF banks to make loans
naturally increases the feeling OF uneasi-

They in turn necessarily create distrust

management to prevent runs on banks.
When il is considered that half the business
enterprises of the country are on the verge
OF bankruptcy, and are only kept from
failure by the leniency and loans OF banks,
it is no wonder that conservative business
men, condemn an. attempt to bring ruin
by attempting a war scare.
Perhaps President Cleveland and Congress
are right in the enforcement OF the Monroe
doctrine at the expense of another financial
panic, but it would seem that our country's
prosperity is of greater importance than
the welfare OF a little South American
republic, in which we have neither title

NOW FOR WAR.

The passage of the Venezuelan commits
sion bill by the Senate closes the door to
any further discussion of the boundary dis
puts between the United States and Eng
land. Through their respective represen-
tatives each country has declared its posi-
ton as Interchangeable, and nothing now re-
mains to be done but to wait the report of
the commission and to enforce the principles
of the Monroe doctrine should it be found
that England's claims are unjust During
the progress of the inquiry England will
probably prepare to take possession OF the
disputed territory. This proceeding will
involve the necessity of a declaration of war
on our part, unless she is willing to eacefully
restore the land to its rightful owner.
The situation is grave beyond measure.
To this country the abandonment OF the
Monroe doctrine means a national disgrace,
and to England voluntary withdrawal of
her claim on Venezuela amounts to the re-
lection OF policy that has governed in all
her International dealings. The United
States cannot afford to back down from the
position taken by Congress in authorizing
the inquiry, nor must we expect England to
change her long standing reputation for sus-
tanning her demands when occasion re-
quirea. Therefore the prospect of war is
alarming.
Now that Congress has assumed the re-
sponsibility of that emergency 1t becomes
duty to make the necessary preparations.
We have sufficient men and money to wage
war with the entire world, but our arms are
inferior and our facilities for manufa curing
those of a modern type are entirely made
quats, Our sea const defenses are anti
quated and incomplete and no time should
be lost IN establishing better means of
protecting our ocean port cities. Since
the Improvement In the construction of
cruisers and battleships we have not kept
pace with the times, and If we are to go to
war with a maritime nation like England
we need LAGER and better navy.
1t is too late to waste time in useless re-
England may decline our challenge for war
None but braggarts and fools dare build
hopes on such an uncertainty, and surely
Congress will not defer preparations for
enforcing its demands through any such
silly conceit. In the appointment of
commission to nose into England's affairs,
backed as it is by the declaration that If
wrong Venezuela will be protected, we
have thrown down gage OF battle which
viii doubtless be accepted. When that
time comes, shall we be prepared to up
hold our national honor? Let Congress
answer.

WOMEN AS SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

WOMEN AS SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
The Commissioners are to be commended

and likewise for their intention, as de-
c,ared by Mr.. Ross, to appoint more women
as trustees. This shows that the services
OF those women who are now on the board
have proven satisfactory. as might have

BY temperament and association women
are peculiarly fitted for the government of
schools and the discharge of duties con-
nected with the management OF school
affairs. There were times when female
teachers in the public Schools were unknown.
vet now they are preferred to men even
in the higher grades. As regards the ad-
ninistration of the schools, which comprises
both the control of teachers and being a
help to them, the usefulness of women can
not be questioned.

the affairs of a household and family. They
