DROVES OF INEBRIATES.

HERE seems to be increasing tendency to
 mark the celebration of Christmas by the ac-
 qurement of jags so wobby and pronounced as to have passed the stage of hilarity There are cracked pates and broken attest that the son when peace is supposed hold special sway has again arrived
 The logic of this is difficult to grasp. The man with holiday by little thoughtfulness put it to better than the swilling of bad liquor For the nonce this may produce bogus joy, but when it eventuates in ride in the patrol wagon night in jail, and the inevitable day alter its signal failure promoter of peace is easily realized and the stu- ation evolves strain in consonance with that which filled the night upon the Judean hills
 If there is remedy it must be in making the an nua wear-off at week earlier than the usual date It is wise to keep sober Christmas as at New Years While this swear-off is only temporary in effect, would surely last seven days and thus carry the thirsty beyond the period of greatest danger The price Of the average drunk would fill many a stocking take the family on pleasant excursion or to place of amusement or even look well added to a bank account
 Christmas this year the City Jail was jammed with the inebriate in every stage of collapse It was in many localities marked by violence The lawless seemed to give particular attention to making them selves obnoxious, and the foolish followed the pat tern. The celebration, hedged about as it is with sacred tradition, was in a made traverstv It IS impossible not to view this fact with regret but there appears particular reason for anticipating change.

which exempts the mad from the operation of the law against the shedding of blood
 It has come to pass that every destroyer of a human life who stands at the bar of justice utterly without pretext enters plea Of insanity Strange the fact may seem, this plea is often po- tent for acquittal. It is known to be fraudulent in ninety-nne cases out of a hundred. Where man can plan and execute murder definitely arrange a method of escape cover his tracks, and if cornered that his way to safety lies through this pea he is sane enough to suffer any penalty the law may prescribe.
 Nevertheless anybody pleading insanity can find experts who will swear to anything necessary to bolster up his absurd and inselent claim, and the more clear the evidence against him the harder they will swear. Emotional insanity and kindred hocus- pocus have saved many undeserving neck, and, more than all other causes brought the statute and the courts into dsrepute. It is worse than the timentalty which permits woman with pretty face to kill whom she may desire for women do not often presume upon the remarkable privilege accorded.
