Intoxication and Crime. The Court of Appeals through Justice Morris en Monday pronounced a most wholesome doctrine of criminal law in pass- ing on a murder case that involved the question of how far a crime may be excused becauze of the intoxication of the defend- ant. There is a perverted sense of charity in some quarters that pleads for mercy for & man who robs, shoots, cuts, assaults or otherwise offends while crunk. It is urged that the drink habit is a disease, that the influence of strong liquor is to make a man an irresponsible agent, and therefore that intoxication must in criminal matters be likened to msanity and must be extended quite the same as a palliation of the of- fense. This doctrine is plainly dangerous, tending at once to increase both drunken- ness and crime. It has obtained a certain vogue in some of the lower courts and this, it is urged, has spread a bellef among the criminal classes that Hquor is regarded by the law as an excuse for all sorts of of- fenses. The holding by the Court of Ap- peals is of such force and expressed with so much certainty that it should be spread abroad as widely as possible to check the unfortunate tendency that all too plainly exists. Justice Morris, in upholding the ac- tion of the court helow, said: “We hold emphatically as the law of the District of Columbia that voluntary im- toxication is neither an excuse nor a pallia- tion for crime. Voluntary intoxication is itself a crime, at least in morals, if not al- ways in law. It is always at least a vice. And it would be subversive of all law ani all morals, if the commission of one vice or crime could be permitted to operate as an excuse or palliation for another crime.” This is definite language that may be un- derstood by all, whether versed in the law or not. It Is an eminently wise decision, and it gives the courts of inferior jurisdic- tion in the District ample ground for some effective reformatory work. The process should begin in the Police Court, where drunkenness and petty crime commoniy go hand in hand. It should follow the course of justice through the grand jury to the criminal courts in special term, and so on up to the tribunals of last resort. When men are brought to a clear, definite under- standing that intoxication is held by the law to aggravate instead of to exeuse » crime committed under the influence -of liqhor they may be less easily tempted by the bottle. eee ‘The January Gas Bills. There is evidently a very general senti- ment cf protest among the people’ caused by the Januw gas bills, as yesterday's and to-day ues of The Star show, and the company seems to be t busy ¢ plaining to irate gas consumers the why of sudden and dispropor- se in the bills. But ‘he ex- do not explain in every instance. e January is a long month, com- posed of long nights and short days, and it may have been made longer still as a gas month by certain lapses in the business cr- rangements of the company. Yet these facets are not sufficient to give reasons tor the scores of eases that are quoted all January bilis have gone up and two hundred per cent over those The latter month days, indeed for the winter solstice bezan December, and the short r fall on both sides of chat nuary contains less hours n its predecessor. if » taken on the 2Ist id split the short day Id not throw any one submitted in December. contains many than January, of short more on the 2ist days of the y Henc of darkness the meter readings w of December this wo: period evenly an tra burden of The company ci: or five days in reacir ary caus lay of four in Janu- the bills to be even se in the m thirteen to nineteen of the bills are in atios than this i ent S not only ci upon the gas in the pip>s. oe A Popular Loan.

Through Balfour and Salisbury the Eng- lish Conservative party seems to he blow- ing hot and cold on the Monroe Doctrine and the Venezuelan question. Balfour's tone in reference to the American conten- tion is conciliatory and friendly. Lord Salisbury is in favor of the Monroe Goctrine of President Monroe only as inter- preted by Salisbury. He unreservedly en- dorses the Monroe doctrine provided he is permitted to say what it means. The main difference between his and the American version of the doctrine consists in an in- terpolation by aim of an exception exempt- fng England from !ts application. England @t the time of this announcement of an American principle of foreign policy ap- plicable to all European powers, itself in- eluded, applauded and supported the an- Bouncement because its direct and imme- diate effect was to baffle the plans of Eng- land’s bitter enemies. The fact that England for selfish reasons at that time endorsed the principle did not sive it the right to claim exemption from the rule, if under changed conditions it should thereafter become immediately sub- ject to the doctrine’s prohibitory provis- ions. In honorable consistency the con- trary effect should have been produced. The Monroe doctrine is an American and republican principle, based upon the laws of self-defense and self-preservation, and it must be defined and the question of its application in any given case decided solely by the American and republican spirit and power from which it springs. Lord Salis- bury contemptuously rejected the American suggestion of arbitration in an interna- tional dispute, and scoffed at the American interpretation of an American doctrine. He does not mend matters by now intimating that his heart is true to some “Monroe doctrine” of European and monarchical fabrication, the product of his own superior intellect. ——_~+++____ Gen, Harrison Not a Candidate. Gen. Harrison's letter, in®@which he em- phatically declines to allow the use of his name as an aspirant for the presidential nomination, puts an end, of course, to all gossip and speculation as to his candidacy. It does not clarify the situation, however, for the field is well occupied with prominent republicans, who are actively engaged in campaigning for delegates. It is interest- ing to note the great satisfaction of those who remain in the race, expressed through the managers of their booms, at the volun- tary retirement of the ex-President, whose strength, heretofore proclaimed by these same managers as entirely too insig- nificant to excite envy, is now eagerly claimed by each. The withdrawal of Gen. Harrisoa, therefcre, makes residuary lega- tees of three or four worthy men who are evidently in the race to stay. It cannot be said. that this action on the part of the former occupant of the White House has materially upset any serious calculations, for his candidacy has never been pronounced and definite, and he has always refrained from siving any encouragement to those who were evidentiy seeking to press him to the front. The republican party now has four chief competitors for the nomination. Reed, Mc- Kinley, Allison and Morton are being ad- yocated in state and County convention: and slowly the list of delegates is being made up. The republican convention will contain 908 delegates, making it necessary for the nominee to receive 455 votes. Ac- cording to the present outlook, the early ballots will be so scattered among the can- didates that a speedy choice will be improb- able. With fewer leaders the prospect would be less uncertain. Reed and McKinley are undoubtedly leading today, and will prob- ably draw the most votes on the first ballot. — + +___ Senator Quay’s idea of placing the canals of the country under government owner- ship and improving them may be objected to by some people on the ground that it would piace the mule-driver vote under the control of the party in power. ——_+ e+ It would be difficult to make conditions of a bond issue such as to hinder J. Plerpont Morgan from going-down into his pocket and assisting the government financially— with good security, of course. ——____ ee _____ Philadelphia calls the attention of the flippant who assert that the Quaker City in the quietest place in the world to the fact that Mr. Wanamaker has gone to the Holy Land for repose. ee It is reassuring to learn that the St. Paul has“at last been moved to where she will not interfere with the gambols of the Long Branch sea-serpent next summer. After two days of rest, forced by the rain, the task of building the city post- office was renewed today, with only eighty men at work. ——_ ++<- —_— SHOOTING STARS.
