Some Rights for women.

Ont in Illinois, Wcmen are eligible as
school trustees, as these officers are gen.
rrally in hot water, and are not extrava'
gauIly paid, II paid at all, the men allow
the women to hold them-the offices. The
same rule of eligibility prevails in New
Jersey. 1t 10 q sensible rule, and might
well be put in force elsewhere. II any
portion Of the community Is interested in
the schools, It Is tho women. In Ohio,
another advance has been made. The
Constitutional Convention has adopted a
section which provides that women
though not endowed with the elective
franchise, may be appointed to any office
not an elective one, by the Governor OF
other appointing power. Eighty'eight
votes favored this measure, and there were
but three against It. One good result Ol
this will be the selection Of women as
trustees OF State institutions, In many oi
which they would make most efficient
managers.

INDIANAPOLIS, June .27.-Thos. Langs.
dale, resident Of this city for several
years, was arrested last night on requisi.
tion from the Governor for the alleged
murder Of Col. John Lilliard, In Gallatin
county, Kentucky, in 1896, the result oil q
feud brought on by the war Of secession,
LangsdAle during that time remaining a
Union man, and the other joining tho Con.
iederate army. After the ending Of the
war the Colonel threatened L9ngsdale's
life, and the two met at Warsaw, in that
county, on election day with fatal result,
the Colonel beng almost instantly killed.
Langsdale fled 10 this State; q reward oil
81, 600 was offered for his arrest, and
during the previous Gubernstorial ad.
minislration several attempts 10 obtain
requisition were made, and 1Langsdale
was brought before Judge Rowland at 8
o'clock last night on writ Of hG6cdS
corpus, obtained by his attorneys. The
Court found no return upon the writ,
showing by what right the Chief Of Police
had TO detain the prisoner, holding that
an arrest on q reQuisition could only be
made BY a Sheriff. The Judge gave until
0 o'clock this morning 10 make return
on the writ, and declined to hold the pris.
oner under bonds until that time, and
Langsdale was allowed Is 60 10 his home
during the night.
Upon opening court this morning,
Judge Rowland asked If the prosecution
were ready to make return Of the writ
and was answered on the part Of the Ken,
tuckians by Attorney Foster that they
were ready, but tho prisoner was not to
be found. The court then asked for the
writ and received In return that they did
not know where 1t was, wherenpon q
writ OF attachment was ordered to be Is.
sued TO show why he should not be
arraigned for contempt Of court. An hour
later a bafif made his appearance with
the illustriOus prisoner. The chief OF
police submitted as an excuse q
sworn affidavit, the chief point Of which
is that Lei Is now advised that he
had no power to make the arrest
and that LargsdAle was not now
in his custody. The petitioner for
the writ of hGbeas corpus also filed
an affidavit for its dismissal The court
held that while he could take no action on
the habedS corpus case, 1t having been dis.
missed by the petitioner, still 1t was clear
that tho process Of the court had been in
teriered with, and there were indications
Of a collusion, and he. would therefore fine
the Chief OF Police twenty-five dollars
and costs. Another question was raised
by the KentuckianB' attorneys, whether
the petitioners had right to
this summary dismissal, but the
court held, different, and claimed that
he had nothing fullher TO do with the
business. The chief paid his fine and ex-
pressed Rregret that the court should have
held that there was q collusion in the non
return Of this writ Alter the parties
withdrew from the court, It was recon-
mended 10 the KentuckiAns that they
procure a requisition from the Governor,
making II necessary for the Sheriff to ar.
rest andhold Thos. Langsdale but this
advice had not been acted upon at latest
accounts.

The "BACK ACTION SALARY GRAB
seems to have developed several different
ways OF dealing upon the part Of the sena'
Tors and members interested in the mat
ter. Some have drawn their money and
then paid It back into the Treasury. 9th.
ers have written letters stating that they
10 not intend drawing the pay. Others,
agsin, have allowed the money to remain
III tue Treasury, and have done nothing
aboutit, evidently expecting that time
will come when the excitement will blow
over, and they can quietly pocket it.
Some, alter vehemOntly denouncing the
steal" and voting against it, thus gaining
sll the buncombe" popularity that was
possible, have either taken the money or
failed to return it to tho Treasury. Some
good members have hEen the money as
their lawful due; and some very question
