named Alb Brown and VIM. Fountain, who
killed the COW and who claim TO have drv-
en- her to the slaughter house pen in con
sideration of one dollar each, TO be paid
them by parties who need not be named
until the truth Of their assertion has been
proved, we're arrested by Chief Myers and
Officer Martin and are in jail awaiting a
preliminary examination. Mr.. Gayer OBJ
tanned the meat from the butcher shop,
where it had been placed on sale, and

The country is doubtless somewhat
surprised by the announcement that the
select committee OF the Senate has decided
to report constitutional amendment in
favor of woman suffrage, OF course this
does not signify that the measure will pass
congress, but it does indicate growing
sentiment in its favor; and the vote will be
likely to show far larger proportion of
congressman favorable to it than the public
imagines There has been disposition
to poo-poo woman suffrage, as among the
impracticsble and improbable changes, but
no one has been quite able to satisfy him
self with the reasons he has been able to as
sign against it. 1t may come much sooner
than the majority of women themselves will
bo prepared for.

A New Orleans court lately issued an
injunction against newspaper published
there, restraining it from the publication of
certain cartoons contemplated Such di.
rect attack on the liberty Of the press has
been properly rebuked by the supreme
court, to which the publishers appealed
The supreme court declares that zone may
be mulcted in damages for what he has pub
lished, but there is no authority that
has the right to say what he shall or shall
not publish beforehand Courts Of equity
will not lend their aid to enjoin the Pub
lication of libels, even though the libelous
publication is calculated to injure the
credit, business or character of the person
against whom it is directed" The New

Judge somewhere down there who should
be relegated to private life as soon as pos
