THE RoADHoUsE AFFAIR.

The discharge from custody OF Bar
ney Ecksteln, who shot and killed
James A. Jennings at the roadhouse on
state> street. win occasion some ad-
verse comment. The opinion that he
would escape punishment has been very
generally expressed, and there Is a
widespread sentiment unfayorable to
+ the accused. But persons who look
carefully at both sides OF the question
and understand something OF the ma
ture OF legal evidence, will see that the
hearing before Judge Tanner, was en-
trely insufficient 10 support the charge
against the prisoner. and In fact went
TO show that he acted in self-defense,
and will. therefore, agree that the dis
missal OF the case was proper. Proju-
dice and public feeling against a de-
PENDANT ought not to weigh feather
in the scales Of justice. The accused
wac rightly acquitted, In the light OF
the evidence that was adduced
There IL another question associated
with the tragedy at the roadhouse,
which will have 10 be determined by the
county commissioners. II seems pref
~ clear that the place has been re-
sort for young people of both sexes, az
which minors could obtain intoxicating
drinks and where persons Of disreput-
able character have been in the habit
of resorting. II these are the facts IN
4 the case. the commissioners ought not
to hesitate in revoking the license per
hitting the sale of liquors at that
place nor should they halt at the work
OF preventing similar infractions Of the
law at other places within their pur-
view.
The work Of reform which has been
undertaken by the city authorities
should be pursued in the county outside
Of the city. Places where liquor Is sold
beyond the city limits have long been
in bad fepute, and the public viii ex-
pect prompt action concerning them,
IN line with the movement inaugura;ed
within the municipality. We hope they
will not be disappointed.

ST. Louis Globe-Demoerat


The American people should begin 10
grasp the fact that sooner or later
Haiti and its neighbor Of the same
island. Santo Domingo, will have 20 be
annexed. Most Of the white inhabitants
OF Haiti would be overjoyed at the
prospect Of annexation by the United
States. The foreigners on the island
British, Germans, French. Spanlards.
and others-would welcome annexation
20 man. A third OF a century ago
the United States had a chance 10 an
mex Santo Domingo. by the consent OF
its inhabitants. but a handful OF mall
contents IN the senate raised up cru.
SADIE against It which defeated the pro-
ject. Recently Santo Domingo, like its
nelghhor on the other end OF the island,
has been indulging in orgies which
have been a disgrace 10 civilization.
though at the present time something
like peace prevails. Nobody can tell.
however, how soon the Eruption VIII

ALCOHOL AND LIFE.

A Milford, Mass, physician contrib
utes n paper to the current number o
The sanltarlan, IN which the effects o
alcohol upon human life are discussed
This Is a subject on which there Is bu
little difference OF opinion. Even The
slaves OF drunkenness have a well de-
fined impression that they are shorten
ing their lives by the excessive use Of
lntoxloants, but they seem to have no
power OF resistance.
The writer in the Sanltarlan pre-
%nts a number OF facts and figures
from widely different sources he
quotes a Berlin doctor who made the
longevity Of persons handling beer and
other alcoholic beverages special
study. His observations embraced H.
200 cases, and he found that the aver
age expectation Of life Of such persons
is 42i years less than that OF other
persons of the same age.
Another calculation corroborates this
statement While the English census
returns show an average mortality OF
adult males. OF 1sS per 1000, that OF
beer sellers was 20 per 1000, OF wine
merchants 1873 per 1000 Of licensed
spirit retailers 1873 per 1000, and Of inn
and hotel keepers 2SS per 1000 IN
Munich, the statistics lead to slmilor
cancellations. There the average lif,-
time of persons who pass the twentieth
year In good health Is SO years. whllN
the average lifetime Of the propretofs
OF beer saloons is bl95 years, and Of
brewers 1928 years That OF the male
piopretors OF wine rooms IL 40 years
and of female proprietors Of the same
but AZ years.
Another fact is stated as conclusive
proof OF the proposition that drink
shortens human life The insurance
and fraterna societies have
been taught by experience to reject
and excessive regular drink
eis, as well as persons engaged In the
retail liquor trade. AS an illustrators
the experience OF one company is quot
ed, This company has for number
Of years carried insurance In two Sec
tons. one general and one special for
people, or rather total abb
stainers. The reports for both sections
show that there were less than three
fourths as many deaths In proportion
In the temperance section as in the
general section. Stated in another
form, there was one death per year for
every 1862 moderate drinkers and one for
every 2Ol total abstainers.
Other statistics are quoted In cor
roboration OF the general conclusion
that Of men who have passed the age
Of twenty-five, the strictly temperate.
on the average, live at least ten years
longer than those who become decided
" incorporate. Such facts and figures
should be studied carefully, especially
BY our young people. These should be
careful not to contract habits that may
deprive them Of years of USE
fulness and enjoyment on earth. 1t is
much easier TO resist the temptation
to become a drunkard, before the taste
for liquor Is acquired, than 1t Is to
break the letters when they are made
strong.

San FrancIsco Chronicle


China's new internal troubles are nd
mittedly due TO the causes which gave
birth to the Boxer rebellion OF 1900,
namely, extortionate taxation and pop
ular hatred OF the foreigner, who Is held
responsible for the official abuses and
burdens imposed upon the people. The
hatred Of foreigners has been artfully
encouraged by the likin collectors at the
various barriers 10 cover the abuses
they have associated with It and
through which they are themselves
enriched. The people have been per-
suaded to believe that the foreigners
are solely responsible for all Of the
heavy burdens which these abuses have
created, AS these burdens have been
increased by the imposition OF new tax
es IN addition TO the likin to enable the
imperial government 10 pay the in
demnity due the powers, new cause
has been given for popular resentment
against the foreigners. Hence these
later manifestations Of intense popular
hatred against the foreign missionaries
and their converts. There is nothing
unnatural In the situation.

TROUBLES OF A CAR.

Those are strange rumors from ST.
Petersburg about the plots against the
Czarlna. IL Is alleged that the hostile
sentiment against her among the Rus
sian people il so strong that the expedi-
ency Of separation from the Car Is
seriously considered. And all because
she is the mother OF girls only and has
no boy TO whom the crown and throne
may 60 In Russia, II seems, divorce Is
not legally obtalnable. and this would
be a serious difficulty IN the plots
against the empress. But prelate Is
interested In the matter, and for that
reason there Is no theological difficulty
that cannot be circumvented Prelates
are masters In the art Of finding a way
where there Is none. And consequently,
the Russian procurator OF the holy
synod has discovered that the Czarinas
conversion to the Greek faith, on her
marriage, was not sincere, and that
consequently the marriage was null and
void No divorce is needed, then, since
there was no genuine marriage.
In what position would this logic Of
Pobiedonostzeff leave the Car and his
consort, and their children? Surely the
Car cannot consent to disgrace his
wife and himself before the world In
such a manner, And II the Gear should
feel tempted to yield to the suggestions
of his spiritual adviser. the Czarlna
has influential friends IN Europe that
would interfere In her behalf. Neither
Germany nor Great Britain could be
entirely Indifferent to a scandalous pro-
ceeding Of that Kind. In former times
princes have put away wives for "rea-
sons OF state" but In the present age
public opinion VIII have to be consld-
cred. And that viii pronounce against
such a proceeding so strongly, that
even an autocrat may deem il neces-
sary to listen,
Why does not the Russian govern
ment change the order Of succession
and confer the crown upon the Oldest
girl in the family in case there is no
male heir? Russia in older times has
had queens that held the reigns OF gov
eminent steadily enough. What Russia
needs more than an imperial boy, is the
spirit OF progress that has been too long
excluded from its institutions. II the
emperor could get rid OF evil counselors
ana II he would listen more TO the
promptlngs of his own heart. It would
be better both FOR him and his people.

The reports from China, both by cable

corning the possibility Of another anti

its original alarming proportions In the
